I saw a physician assistant for my annual physical and everything went very smoothly! ? I had less than five minutes of wait time and was able to get my labs drawn as well.
I had the best experience during this visit! The provider I saw was a PA and not Dr. Shah, but she was amazing. She listened to everything I said, had follow-up questions for me, and recommended some tests based on what I was telling her. She was the most attentive provider I've had the pleasure of seeing. We did all the tests afterwards, and she sent me home with referrals to look into, it was very thorough. I did have to wait a bit before being seen, but it wasn't too bad, and it was well worth the wait. Overall, everyone at this office was very helpful and friendly, I would highly recommend.

I actually saw the nurse practitioner Sarah Jamieson for my physical, not the doctor, but she was awesome. Incredibly friendly and professional and efficient. She answered all my questions and provided recommendations for a derm at my request. I had to go back separately for blood work and it was the easiest blood work I've ever gotten done - so quick and painless!
Verified patient
Great experience! Was able to get an appointment with a provider in a reasonable amount of time, minimal wait time in the doctors office, and the physician and staff were wonderful!
Verified patient
Super simple enrollment via Zocdoc. Some forms to fill out and two phone conversations prior to my first appointment. Would recommend!
Dr. Shah was very nice and actually listened and engaged with me. I've been to doctors in the past who are very dismissive and aren't as attentive. Dr. Shah actually gave me her time and expertise.

I first saw a nurse practitioner, Angelica, who was so kind and patient with all of my medical history and current concerns. Dr. Shah was equally comprehensive and explained all side effects and the process that I might have with my new medication, and to reach out with any questions. For anyone who gets stressed out for doctors’ appointments—no need here!! Highly recommend and will have my husband switch over too.

I recently moved to the city from out of state and needed to establish care with all new doctors. Everyone I’ve interacted with at this office has been helpful and accommodating. My questions and concerns were met with warmth, empathy, and patience. As someone who has a lot of anxiety interacting with medical professionals, I was put as ease right away and truly appreciated the care they took in listening and thoughtfully responding. It was the best experience I’ve had going to the doctor in years. Looking forward to keeping my primary care with this practice.

This visit was great! Dr. Shefali was very accommodating and she really listened and cared about me. I felt very comfortable and safe opening up and getting things taken care of. I really appreciate her, the healthcare professionals here and this practice.
Verified patient
Dr.Shah and her team are amazing! I was very nervous before my appointment and immediately upon walking in was more relaxed. I HIGHLY recommend Dr.Shah.
Verified patient
Wonderful experience! Initially went in nervous for my appointment but left knowing I was well taken care of and in good hands. Thank you Dr. Shah and staff!
Verified patient
I liked the doctor herself, however, the technology seemed outdated. Was also seen by an intern before the doctor, who seemed inexperienced. There is not another doctor in the practice to tend to urgent needs when Dr. Shah is out of town (as is my current situation). I was told by the receptionist that I could go to an urgent care or another doctor that would not have access to my medical history. This defeats the purpose of having a PCP in my opinion. Because of the last item described, I will be going elsewhere moving forward.
Verified patient
Dr. Shah is the most empathetic doctor I've ever met and made me feel so comfortable! She's an excellent listener and so kind.
Verified patient
It was my first time visiting with Dr Shefali Shah, both she and the grad student/nurse were very friendly. I felt that she wanted to understand my condition and not just give me meds and go on to the next patient. I look forward to following up with her for my next appointment when the time comes.
I'm new to Chicago and in need of a good family physician. I found Dr. Shah and had a wonderful experience. Super easy to get in and spent time getting to know me.
Verified patient
I love Dr. Shefali Shah! She is the sweetest person ever! The only negative thing about my appointment was the wait time in the office. I didn't leave the waiting room until 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment, which I arrived 10 minutes early.
Dr. Shefali is high energy and upbeat. I loved this about her! She is happy to help with whatever she can and had a great bedside manner. The paperwork for new appointments is quite long but she is worth it!
I switched to Dr. Shaw’s office a year ago when i received a new insurance provider and I have been happy with my choice since! She has a very positive energy which is helpful when whatever brings you in may cause you worry or anxiety. She is very professional and I will continue to see her as my PCP as long as I live nearby.
Timely and professional! The office was relaxed and Dr. Shah really listened and paid attention. She was very thorough in making sure all procedures were covered by my insurance before proceeding as well which I appreciated.
It was my first time seeing Dr. Shah and I was very impressed. The staff is nice and easy to talk to. The convience of having labs drawn right in the office is great! Thank you for your professionalism!
Verified patient
