Feel better after every appointment. Best decision I could have made. HIGHLY recommend Dr, Shah and his team. As an added comment - there are also wellness and beauty techs inside this practice.
May 12, 2018Jacque B.Verified patient
Continued improvement. I always look forward to my appointments because I feel better after each one. Anyone new to Chiropractic care needs to understand & make sure you follow the recommended treatment schedule for best results.
April 20, 2018Jacque B.Verified patient
Feeling so much better after my visit. Dr Shah really knows what to do and also good about counseling you regarding your stage of treatment. Dr. Shah also makes recommendations for at home/work solutions and exercise. His massage therapists are incredible and work the areas of difficulties.
April 12, 2018Jacque B.Verified patient
Today was my 4th visit and I can see and feel the improvements already. The problems that I started with had been ongoing for a couple of months and it takes time and follow ups to feel thoseimprovements. It is the best way to return to health. I'm grateful for Dr.Shah's skill and the time he spends with me and how he explains treatment.
April 7, 2018Jacque B.Verified patient
Dr. Shah is very professional. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. His technique is spot on and his advice is valuable.
The staff is friendly and caring. I had a theraputic massage and Sandra knew where my trouble spots are and worked on them well.
Scheduling is easy and they work with you to find convenient times.
April 4, 2018Jacque B.Verified patient
Wow! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I was early as I knew I’d need to complete new patient paperwork. But, as soon as I was done Dr. Shah called me into his office where I described my symptoms. I found him to be extremely personable and easy to converse with. As fate would have it, I had taken X-rays previously with the medical group so he was able to readily access those. From those X-rays he could accurately pinpoint where my problem areas lie. He recommended a spinal decompression and deep tissue massage which left me feeling better than when I initially walked in. I then had an adjustment and left his office a semi-new person. I am thrilled to have found Dr. Shah and will definitely be returning for follow up treatment.
April 5, 2018Lisa R.Verified patient
I was early for my appointment and has to wait for just a few minutes. No problem, A lot of Doctors overbook and this causes
long waiting time to see the Doctors.
Dr. C. Shah, DC his office is well run and I as ready for them
just had to remove my cover vest and shirt for the back and should message. V. J. W.
August 8, 2017Vern W.Verified patient
Did nothing to my back. No adjustments to eliveiate the pain. No pain meds. Told him I was Canadian than he goes off and tells me a story about when he was in Canada on an internship and the NIS were involved. Why do I even care! Just do your job that your paid to do. He says to me that he's not looking to make money off me, etc. First and last visit at that closterphobic dump.
February 6, 2017Joseph W.Verified patient
Dr. Shah is fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and I always feel better after going to him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a chiropractor.
October 27, 2016Christina O.Verified patient
I have been seeing Dr Shah and his therapists for about 17 months now. I was in very bad shape with Metastatic Breast Cancer when I found Dr Shah in mid March 2015. I was in a wheel chair but could only walk less than 3 minutes without being winded since I was on O2 24/7 and had 4-5 cups of fluid bring drained daily from my chest cavity. I was living in a rehab facility to get stronger after two weeks in the hospital . I used to see another chiro / acupuncturist and prayed that I would find another doctor after my doc died. I prayed to my doc that I would find some one as skilled as him. My brother searched acupuncturist with my insurance company . I checked out Dr Shahs website first and when I saw that he did mission trips and helped the poor, I knew I probably found the right doctor. I was late for the appointment since I was in such bad shape, I probably wrote down the wrong time. He saw me anyway and told me every time he comes back from Florida, he has a patient waiting who needs him. Well, I sure needed him. He has been another piece of the puzzle in my journey to wellness . I had a chronic cough and breathing was difficult , had to carry my portable pump with me, He worked on my breathing , digestive issue related to damage from chemo, puts back energy in my liver, kidneys , etc. His office is very well run compared to my other doc who was always 90 min late I can't say enough about his therapists and how they have helped me so much , it's my favorite day of the week getting my massage . I am still at the right place and never thought I would heal as much as I have.
August 5, 2016Susan GVerified patient
This was my first time seeing a chiropractor, and I am glad I chose Dr. Shah. He was very thorough and explained everything very well in the initial visit as well as what I could expect for upcoming visits. Everyone in the office was very nice. I did not have to wait long after arriving. It only took a little bit because I have to fill out all the new patient papers. Overall a very great experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Shah.
May 19, 2016Elyse B.Verified patient
Was seen by this doctor because I had lower back pain but he recommended not treating me that day even though he billed my insurance for a full visit. He had other patients so he placed me in a room with bloody napkins exposed in the trash can while he saw other patients. When he finally returned he told me to come back Monday after seeing a physician to get anti-inflammatory medicine. What was the purpose of even coming here? He tried to sell me protein powder and meal replacements, orthopedic inserts, and nine sessions of acupuncture. This was a big scam and I'd warn others that this is not the place to go if you're seeking relief from back pain. If you want a holistic doctor then this is the place for you. For my needs this just was not it.

Dr. Shah is patient, listens and explains what the issue is. I am a medical professional and truly appreciate his approach because there are a lot of 5 minute doctors out there. His staff is warm, friendly, professional and the therapists are amazing! I didn't want to leave the table! I also brought my athletic teenage daughter in for their excellent care!
March 2, 2016Carolyn K.Verified patient
Dr. Shah has excellent bedside manners and makes the patient feel at ease. He also answered all my questions regarding acupuncture thoroughly. I have been under a lot of stress and his bright humor brightened up my day.
February 19, 2016Angela LVerified patient
Dr. Shah is the best! I never have to wait more than 5 minutes after I arrive. Kory gives a great massage and loosens up my tight muscles. Dr. Shah's treatment relieves me of pain and allows me to lead an active life.
January 29, 2016Patricia J.Verified patient
Always appreciate the courtesy, realistic expectations and kindness of this team. It has been several years of suffering, and being told that Chiropractic services would not offer my particular circumstances any real relief.
I am happy to report, that even though I have been with the process a short while, the relief, though slow- is promising. The natural approach with the guidance of Dr. Shah on home directives for self care has been paying off. It is a life change I am happy to make, and finally feel I have the right support to begin my journey of progress.
I intend to stay with Dr. Shah and his team, and look forward to a positive outlook on my physical healing.
December 21, 2015Tina K.Verified patient
I was very pleased with my appointment with Dr. Shah. They were able to squeeze me in, which was greatly appreciated. I have never been to a chiropractor, and was not quite sure what to expect. Dr. Shah explained everything and I am excited to start my visits with him so I can find relief from my back pain. I would highly recommend this practice.
November 27, 2015Margaret O.Verified patient

May 27, 2015Denise C.Verified patient
My visit was the most intense visit I ever had during this injury with any doctor. Dr shah made me feel as tho he is going to solve this problem for me. He explained my procedure in detail his focus was solely on me and was intense because of all the treatments i have Had. He did not prescribe any narcotics he told me I would have a better quality of life. He told me he would do the bet for me and I believe him. I was not turned away like I was previously with other doctors! Today was my first visit all bs aside he went straight to the Accupuncture then came the massage as soon as I left the building my pain was so intense I was so dissatisfied as the hours wept away I felt like I could take on the world again! Thank you doctor Shah I'm very happy to have found you!!

When I first went to Dr. Shah 6 weeks ago, I could barely walk and was using a cane. After three visits, I was walking much better and not using a cane. I had hardly any pain. The people in his office are efficient and friendly. The wait time is usually less than 5 minutes.
