He was really efficient and had xrays and mri done quickly. I was in early in the morning and it took no more than an hour. I’ve had problems with my knee for years, i just hope this is the last i have to deal with. Would recommend him 100%.

January 22, 2019Gaurav G.Verified patient
Arrived early for the appointment, taken right away. Dr. Shah's nurse was efficient and very nice, and the doctor himself was a breath of fresh air, down to earth, spoke to me like the thinking person I am and not a number. He sent me for x-rays right then for a knee problem, sat and talked with me afterwards about all my options, advised me on health issues involved with each option, and recommended surgeons on staff for the point in time when I decide I can schedule the knee replacement. I was in and out in under an hour, an efficient staff at every step.

My first appointment was a consultation for chronic shoulder pain — they performed an x-ray and referred me to get an MRI. I'm not 100% sure of the diagnosis yet, but Dr. Shah heard my concerns and didn't rush to any conclusions.
