Dr. Chirag Shah is an excellent, compassionate doctor who always listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions! Before my appointments with him, I make a list of questions to ask and he is so patient with me. It's very evident that he sincerely cares about his patients. Because of his expertise in radiology oncology, and his skillful plan for my sarcoma treatments, I am thankful to say that the treatments were very successful and I no longer have cancer! My family and I are very thankful for Dr. Shah!
