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.

Would not recommend
Worst ever. Received life changing diagnosis OVER THE PHONE. Was also advised to research condition myself as he was not going to speak to me about it. Most physicians will take time and make sure their patient is well informed by them not google. Ladies beware this guy is terrible.

I have been Dr Shah’s patient since 2005. I’m very happy with my two normal deliveries and overall healthcare I received by Dr Shah. I recently got surgery and Dr Shah recommended natural remedy to help with my blood clog and bruising and it worked! I was amazed by natural method of recommendation vs medical. I would recommend Dr Shah. Like most office you will have wait but that’s minimal issue as to benefits of good healthcare!

Dr. Shah is an excellent doctor! I just had my second child and wish I’ve gone to Dr. Shah with my first. Besides the professionalism and experience, Dr. Shah made me feel comfortable and at peace. Needless to say, with my first c-section procedure I’ve developed keloid scar which Dr. Shah was able to fix with my second c-section, leaving my scar beautiful and unnoticeable.

Very unprofessional doctor and staff too his ultrasound machine was broken and he didn't reschedule my appointment at all him and the staff refuses to give me a 4 week fundal measurements and heartbeat check too. The staff is very nosey, rude, and unprofessional too no respect at all pregnant women and they do not speak proper English at all or do their jobs neither.

We were highly recommend to Dr. Shah, and neatness to say we are so thankful for it. We had two very difficult pregnancies. He went beyond his duties to ensure my last pregnancy was a successful one. He was there during the whole process. We had a long journey in which he played an important role. He was there from the beginning to the end. Any time we had an emergency he was always there. His office has the most efficient team, they are always there to help you with anything that you need.

To say Dr. Shah is and was amazing would be an understatement, the care he provides for his patient is beyond outstanding . He doesn't treat you like just patient, he actually makes you feel like a person. Dr. Shah made my concerns a priority, and never overlooked even the smallest things. He was very thorough and kept me informed of what to expect during each stage of my pregnancy. He is very competent, dedicated to his specialty and makes having a healthy mom and baby priority.

Went here because I'm looking for a doctor I can build a relationship with who I'll trust to deliver my children in the future, and I had definitely found that in Dr. Shah. He is incredibly friendly, good natured, and full of experience. The staff is also very friendly and the office is quaint and clean.

Dr. Shah has been my first & only OB . I would never see another doctor and recommend anyone looking for an OB to go to Dr. Shah. I have been seeing him since I was 16yrs old (about 10yrs now) & he has delivered my 2 children . He has also done a few procedures/surgeries for me and I have never been happier . He is so genuine and cares about your health as well as your baby's . If I could, I would get pregnant over and over just to see Dr Shah! (no im jk, but you get the point)

I starting going to Dr. Shah more than 20 years ago. He helped diagnose the issue I was having and cured it. I continue to use Dr. Shah as my gynecologist as he is well educated, caring, respectful and very thorough. All questions are listened to and answered.
