April 2023

I have an odd and rather uncommon issue, and not only was I taken seriously by Dr. Shah, he spoke with a colleague and developed a plan of action that would resolve the problem. My previous provider did NOT send the medical records and I wasn't able to access them through my patient portal, but even without this information Dr. Shah was able to formulate a loose plan of attack that really secured my confidence in him.

Medications not an issue at time of visit. Dr. Shah made sure I understood the decision he made & that I was OK with it.
