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.

Fixed My Double Vision
Dr Shah did strabismus surgery to correct double vision resulting from Sixth Nerve Palsy. I switched to Dr Shah after wearing an eye patch for more than 6 mos under the care of another ophthalmologist. Turned out great. He has an excellent patient-focused approach and gives you the time you need, answering all questions thoroughly.

i've been to a lot of ophthalmologists and he's by far the best. he told me what was exactly wrong with me and my sisters eyes that no other ophthalmologist could figure out. he took his time unlike other doctors who are always in a rush. he's also one of the most sweetest people you will meet. so happy i found him!
