About Shama Patel
Shama has always been drawn to caring for others, but it wasn't until learning more about the holistic approach to medicine that she found her true passion. As an advocate for decreasing preventable risk factors of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses, Shama focuses on the whole patient. She adamantly believes it is her job to educate patients about those risks and inspire them to make changes. A board-certified physician assistant, Shama completed her undergraduate studies at Boston University before earning her master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Seton Hall University, where she graduated magna cum laude. In her free time, Shama loves cooking and trying new recipes, hiking with her husband, and spending time with her family and friends.

October 22, 2025Heather B.Verified patient
The staff were kind, but my visit with Shama was not & I left feeling humiliated. When going through my meds, upon reading the 2nd medication I was on Shama stopped me & said "Why so many medications?" After reading my 3rd med, she interrupted a second time & said "You're 23 right? Why so many medications?" I find it hard to believe that a medical provider is unfamiliar with the concept of someone having multiple chronic health conditions that they need to manage with medication—the question combined with her tone felt very suspicious, as if I was on too many medications. If I *was*, it wouldn't be my fault as I'm not the one who asked to be put on them, so her tone was weirdly accusatory. She prescribed something for anxiety, but the ADHD refill I wanted (and need urgently as I've been off my meds for 19 days) she was unable to prescribe without further documentation, which I wish I had known before wasting money I already don't have on transportation to & from her office.

Shama Patel, PA was very attentive to my medical issues. The best part is that her office does blood work, which makes things so much easier! The next best thing is that I’m able to see her right away! I’m so glad that I switched my pcp to Shama Patel!

Dr Shama was so friendly and kind. She spoke in an educated but down to earth way and I appreciated her (especially after not seeing a GP in close to 10 years).

Doctor shama is the best
July 18, 2025Touria L.Verified patient
Great experience! The staff was very friendly. The intake nurse was thorough and also friendly. The physician I saw was thorough, took her time, got to know me and really seemed to care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. She went through my history and understood my concerns and answered all my questions. Great experience.
