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.

Great Doctor
Dr. Shah is knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. He diagnosed me at mu first visit, and he spent so much time answering all of my questions and choosing medications that will work for me. I couldn't be more pleased with him. Some of the other reviews really surprise me - he is all business but in the best possible way.

He is a mean doctor. Does not make you feel comfortable at all. Always has an attitude, and makes you feel like everything is somehow your fault because of your condition. Would rate him negative stars but I cannot.

I saw Dr. Shah for two years and in those 2 years I cried in his office 3 times. My very first visit he said “ I don’t think you have Lupus” after 14 months and 8 positive tests later including a skin biopsy he finally confirmed my diagnosis but continued to downplay my symptoms. He is knowledgeable but a terrible listener. I believe him to be a great doctor academically but his bedside manner is so bad I had to switch. If you need compassion don’t see him.

This man was absolutely the most rude dr I have ever visited!! I drove from Dalton to try and get some help with my arthritis and gout issues I've dealt with for years. After finally getting in to a room and waiting he came in and asked me rTo explain why I was there and what I had tried. What worked and what hasn't. After explaining, he looks me dead in the eye and says: Well, it seems you know more about this than I do. We can stop this relationship before it gets started. that's what I did!
