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.

Breast Cancer Patient
I’m a patient of Dr. Shah’s and she is so patient with me when I ask my 30 questions each appointment. She is also making sure I stay alive and that my breast cancer loses this battle. Her team is amazing as well!

Down to earth, knowledgeable, friendly
Dr. Shah makes you feel immediately comfortable during a stressful time in your life. She is warm and compassionate and genuinely interested in you as a person and your family. After all, chronic illness affects the whole family. She is impressively board certified in 3 specialties so she is highly intelligent and thorough. We do wish she had HUNTSVILLE Hospital privileges, however, one of her colleagues can follow your care while in that hospital and confer with her. She is a mother of 3 and very personable as well as keeping involved with her patients and the medical community and her continuing education. The negative: she’s not affiliated with Hsv Hospital, and her office is in an ancient building in Athens that looks like a free clinic. Do not be turned off by the atmosphere or lack of professional appearance of her office. CCI should really give her an upgrade.
