It takes time to see him, but he spends at least 30-45 minutes with you, sometimes over an hour.
My first time visiting him, he took my entire medical files to read and understand my medical history. Oh, and he had it for 2 weeks.

He is very patient and knowledgeable doctor. Answers everything with calm and assurance.
The only issue, they have stopped taking United HealthCare and many insurances. Hence it's advisable to call them before jump in or you have to deal with massive fees.

Very polite, professional and friendly.
March 30, 2016Jennifer L.Verified patient
Dr. Shah is an expert for complex conditions. After seeing multiple specialists for my mother, we visited him as the doctor who can treat the whole body, not parts of it. He invests a lot of time learning the patient's condition and goes beyond any other doctor will try. Highly recommended!
February 16, 2016Jahanara C.Verified patient
The doctor and staff are all very nice and professional. The doctor is great and very thorough. My only complaint is the wait time. I waited in the waiting area for one hour before being seen and I was the first appointment of the day. But other than the wait, everything else was great.

He is awesome....
July 28, 2015Saroj Raj S.Verified patient
I feel like he was a great doctor that took the time to ask me questions to better understand my situation. He was thorough and polite.
The office looks very clean and spacious as well. My only complaint is that the wait time was very long compared to the amount of people waiting and the people working there. I waited a good 40minutes or so until I actually spoke to the doctor.
June 24, 2015Danny J.Verified patient
Dr Ajit Shah was very attentive. With 35 yrs experience in the field he knew what he was doing. Unlike many medical professionals he was not in a hurry to prescribe me any quick fix pills, rather wait till the results of my test reports come back.
Appreciate his approach.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shah's for over 15 years. Dr. Shah is an excellent physician. I always have pleasant visits at his office. He is considerate of his patient time. He take time to talk and explain to me my condition and he listens and we work out a plan of care together. I will always be a patient of his as long as he is in practice.
