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.

Absolutely horrible. They billed my insurance company for telemedicine which was never provided to me. They also had the audacity to ask me to pay a copay on that same service. When I asked for details on the service all they could provide was a date. They claim the doctor called in a prescription to my pharmacy and spoke with me prior. Which is a blatant lie. I am pursuing this claim for investigation with my insurance company. The office help are rude, uninformed and disrespectful and unable to effectively communicate with the patients. The office environment is very unsanitary. No soap or paper towels in patient waiting area common bathroom. Also the doctor will order excessive tests in order to bill your insurance . This practice is only interested in what they can milk out if you and your insurance.

Been going 1.5 yrs...just met Dr. Last 2 visits....pushes unneeded tests like allergies which insurance pays $600 for even though i have no allergy. Made me sit thru that test even though i was in distress due to COPD flare up and needed nebulizer treatment.

I never rate anybody but I do not want anyone to go to this Dr and feel the way I did. First of all let me say- the only reason I have one star was because of a medical assistant there who took good care of me. The staff at this office is rude. They literally slam the phone on you when they don’t want to answer your questions or put you on hold. The dr won’t listen to ur complains. wont give u a presc & force u to get the treatment from them so they can make money DO NOT go here if u are sick.

I needed to see Dr Shah for a painful bacterial infection (eyes, sinuses, ears, throat, and chest) He examined me and diagnosed promptly and correctly. With his to the point prescription, I started feeling better very fast. Dr Shah is also a very warm and friendly person.

Went to him with some other problem and he kept on forcing me to go for other treatment which wasn't required. He has some specialists that visits his clinic every wednesday so he will purposely sent patients for different checks for no reason and bill insurance company unnecessarily.
