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.

Outstanding Caring Doctor!!
Dr. Shah is so very kind, patient and caring. I had 2 cataract surgeries with him and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome or experience! He is the best of the best.

Perfect Cataract Surgery
Thank you for the gift of vision Dr. Shah! Gift from God…I have never seen this well before on my life. The only thing better than my vision is Dr. Shah’s humility and professionalism. You can’t go wrong here!

Optometry visit
I was very happy with my optometry visit. I believe he was Dr Shah. I felt I I received an accurate and complete eye exam for my prescription glasses. He was also a very nice man. No long wait as I have experienced when I see Dr McKlusky, though I like her very much.

After having a bad experience with another ophthalmologist, I found Dr Shah at Beach Eye Medical Group on the internet. From the initial inquiry call, his office manager listened to my previous experience, & took care of everything. I met with Dr Shah & Dr Semaan, the optometrist. From the initial consult for the cataract surgery, to the release visit three months later, after the completion of the second cataract surgery, I received excellent, professional care from everyone in that medical group. The surgeries were successful & I take wonder everyday in the clarity of my surroundings & admire the vibrant colors which I was not aware were so dulled the past few years. I opted for the Panoptix Lens so everything is clear up close as well as in the distance. I no longer need contact lens or the thick bifocal glasses, nor the computer glasses, driving glasses, & reading glasses. Now I just have sunglasses. I highly recommend Dr Shah & his group.

The doctor is very materialistic. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Hi kept chasing my dad for a small amount of money that he was not able to collect from Medicare. At the end, we figured out that he can't overcharge him and he just want to collect extra money

I do not recommend this doctor and office to any patient! My dad was referred to him and after months of back and forth visit ,he decided to refer him to another specialist. Took another few weeks to see the other one which ended up to be a wrong referral! Went back to him another wasting few weeks and finally without any explanation he said he wouldn't do a simple cataract surgery on him . he said he would refer him to another doctor but it never happened. Good one year of my senior dad wasted over nothing. communication between doctor and staff is so poor they are not aware of anything and just try to get rid of you! awful experience!!!!!
