I felt like the appointment itself was a little rushed. I'm having knee issues, and I think a little more reassurance and time spent speaking about it would have been appreciated.

Dr. Shah was fantastic. His bedside manner is calming, making you feel right at ease. Nobody "wants" to visit the Dr, but if you must, have no fear, Dr. Shah will take great care of you!
More than 1 year agoHerbert A.Verified patient
Dr. Shah was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave great suggestions of how to approach my knee issue. He's friendly and sincere in his bedside manner and wasn't just quick to jump to an MRI, etc. Looking forward to my future follow up visits.
