She did not listen and formed an opinion before I ever walked in. Her exam didn’t exist. I donated my copay.

March 2, 2021Renee B.Verified patient
Dr. Shah and every person I interacted with could not have been any nicer, knowledgeable or more professional. Dr. Shah took her time, asked great questions, and shared additional information that helped me understand more what she thought was going on and how to treat it. This appointment made me want to go through the list of providers within this practice to see who else I could possibly go to there! (This applies to the Middletown location)

Very helpful and knows her stuff
November 10, 2020Eva P.Verified patient
I just think it's rediculous that you can't ask for nutritional panels when it's obvious that nutritional deficiency causes so many issues. I think our medical industry is a scam, only treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals instead of looking for the root cause. Anything to make more profit, it disgusts me.
