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.

Thymectomy - Highly recommend
Excellent doctor. Very straight forward when explaining what to expect. Dr. Shah and his team at VCU took good care of me during and after my thymectomy. Would highly recommend.

I had surgery done by Dr. Shah in March of this year. As soon as he walked into my hospital room I knew everything would be ok. He is more than a great surgeon. He communicates your medical situation in a very straight forward manner with an excellent bedside manner. I will always highly recommend him AND his staff. They are also amazing. Betsy Dunivin
