Reviews
Excellent doctor will be his patient fir life Dr. Shah saved my life in 2015 my hero cares about this patients
I have been using Dr Shah for 20 years. I would highly recommend him!!
I had a great experience and the service was great.
Very pleased. Dr. Shah spends a lot of time with you and goes over treatment options. Great bed side manners. His staff is extremely helpful and they thoroughly go over instructions with you.
Amazing staff! Everyone was so nice and helpful and professional! The Doctor was amazing to! Great experience
Very professional, friendly, and courteous. I am from Louisiana. Dr Shah has worked with me to keep me from driving to Houston for a routine office visit via telemedicine.
Dr. Shah is my hero! I waited for no reason in particular to have my first colonoscopy, I was weeks away from 53. He found a rather large polyp that required a second colonoscopy to be performed in the hospital, to remove what couldn't be done in the office. I was knocking on cancer's door and had no symptoms. Dr. Shah was able to remove the remaining portion and declare for the moment I do not have colon cancer. We will continue to screen and monitor on a routine schedule with the hope that I do not experience any future issues. Had Dr. Shah not provided the care and concern he has shown to me and my family I may have a different story, thank you Dr. Shah!
Great Dr. I truly trust Dr. Shah’s decisions. I love the man. ❤️👍🏽
Dr Shah is an excellent doctor. He listens & takes his time & answers questions. His staff has always been very kind. I highly recommend them.
DR SHAH, HAVE THE BEST BEDSIDE MANNERS, VERY KIND SPIRIT , WOULD REFER HIM TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Dr Shae recommened I have more tests. He did prescribe additional "meds" so far my discomfort has subsided.
Kindest and most knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. So glad to be a patient here.
Excellent customer service. Dr Shah and assistants demonstrated sincere interest in my health!
Excellent service with all questions answered and was able to get a last minute appointment during my severe illness . I have been a patient for years and will continue to stay with Dr. Shah .
Wonderful service and treatment!!!
Dr. Shah cured all of my problems in less than a month. I have had no problems at all over the past year. I will not go anywhere else for care, and I recommend him to everyone.
Dr Shah worked hard for mr to get a fairly new medicine to treat painful esophogeal issue that is difficult to handle. I was finally able to get it and have some relief from the pain. Hoping I can completely heal up. He obviously cares about his patients.
Dr. Shah has a great bedside manner, listens attentively, and offers patient specific recommendations for the shared decision making in the plan of care.
He was very thoughtful and decided on several things to do to see what is going on.
We received the best service from Dr. Shah and his staff!!
