Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best GI doctor!!!
I met Dr Shah during a hospital stay he doesn’t even live in ATL, GA but God knew what he was doing having him as the on call doctor because he saw me and did a colonoscopy on me I’m so grateful for him because the doctor I saw in the ER prior to him Dr Bravo was a know it all and didn’t listen to my concerns but Dr Bravo did! Very glad I met him he was very informative and patient and kind! Thank you Dr Shah you finally gave me the answers I’ve been searching for and you educated me on things I’ve wondered about my whole life concerning my stomach.

Dr. Shah has performed numerous colonoscopies and endoscopic procedures on me for many years. Very knowledgeable on NETs. Trust him 100%. So happy my oncologist recommended him.

I waited for two months to see Dr. Shah, then after a two hour wait he sent a nurse in to inform me that he doesn’t see patients with liver disease... unacceptable! He is supposed to be a G.I. Specialist.

Dr. Shah found 18 polyps, pre-cancerous that the VA didn't discover. He removed all of them. My husband was very happy with Dr. Shah and his surgery.

Outstanding experience! Everyone in the office is nice and helpful. Scheduling was a breeze, the doctor was informative. The only area that I would like to see improve is the total wait time. Longer than necessary.
