Dr. Shah listened to my pain areas and fully explained to me what the radiation treatments could do for me. This was my initial visit with Dr. Khoury and both Dr. Khoury and Dr. Shah made sure to get my treatments started the following week. Could not be more happier with my Care team.

dr. Shah is an excellent, compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled radiation oncologist who can clearly explain issues. He welcomes all questions and responds at appropriate level, even if you've done research and have questions about various options, consequences, etc. He presents information, options, and lets you decide course of action, but is willing to provide recommendations when asked. in addition, he definitely has an interest in the patient as a person and will go to bat for them when indicated. I am delighted having him as my radiation oncologist.
