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.

Predatory Practice
Dr Shah is my mother-in-laws doctor. She is horrible. My mother-in-law saw her for an issue that required the attention of a specialist. She refused to provide the referral, instead hurriedly misdiagnosing. Thank goodness my mother-in-law sought the care of a specialist despite this, and was correctly diagnosed with cancer. When this was brought to Dr. Shah’s attention, she took no accountability nor offered any apology for her unwillingness to provide adequate care. She should not be allowed to practice medicine if she doesn’t seek to care for her patients.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Dr. did I say HORRIBLE? She talks down to you in a condescending manner and doesn’t bother to listen to your needs as a patient! If Kaiser is smart they will find a way to get rid of her! She doesn’t care about being a good Dr or actually caring about her patients! It’s important to have a good relationship with your Dr. it’s impossible to have that with HER!

She insulted me, very rude. I am young and healthy, only visit the doctors for preventative visits. I am huge on preventative measures and live a holistic life. However, I refuse to be insulted for wanting a preventative check-up (pap smear). She mentioned I shouldn't have sexual partners if I do not want pap smears. I was just anxious but did not say anything about not wanting a pap smear. WOW. Very insulting to assume I have sexual partner(s), more than one! Cancer runs in my family and it was drilled into me at a young age to take all preventative measures. With this doctor, you are at a loss if you do or don't.

Worst doctor! Beware! RUN! Like many Kaiser doctors she is not thorough, rushes you out of the office, and won't order tests/scans needed. She was very abrasive and I felt judged in regards to my medical issue. RUN! She is one of the worst doctors I've ever seen!
