“For months, I have had a repetitive thumping/whooshing in my ear that I suspected was pulsatile tinnitus. My GP dismissed me to my frustration, but Dr. Shah diagnosed me almost immediately! I felt listened to which, I'll be honest, I cried over. Her staff was friendly and helpful. The doctor herself was very easy to talk to. She was concise and clear, explaining everything and answering all of my questions. She outlined a treatment plan for me and ordered tests. I really feel like she's in my corner. I'm an hour away from her office but Dr. Shah was more than worth the drive! Thank you Dr. Shah!! ??”
