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.

I have been seeing Dr. Shah 10 years. She always explains everything well. Very kind and friendly.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shah?
Avani Shah does not keep good records of her patients care and she also does not follow up on issues with patients as she promises! Other doctors who try to reach her for important medical information are left with no response from her or her office. I would not recommend her to anyone. There are many better and more responsible eye doctors available for eye issues!
