Dr. Shah was very nice, but I don't feel that my concerns were taken seriously. A test was administered by a nurse during the visit, and Dr. Shah commented that the test was performed incorrectly, but didn't redo the test. The visit seemed more like a courtesy than an actual attempt to help me.

My visit was the first in numerous years that the doctor was stern with me regarding taking the necessary actions that I need to do asap. He Is also the first doctor that didn't prescribe me any more medications. I really appreciated that and I thank his for his honesty. I would most definitely refer my family and friends to him.

I am back stateside for two months. Up to this point, Dr. Shah has helped greatly with getting things scheduled.

Scheduled appt 2 months in advance. Later was told, not asked, that I had to push that appointment back another month. Finally saw Dr. Next appointment... 3 months. Dr Shah was great, zero complaints.. But I feel like it's going to take a year to get a diagnosis. I'm assuming there's a cardiologist shortage?

Again, like Dr Shah and his staff. Hard to recommend someone so busy that it takes 3 months to get an appointment.

Dr. Shah was fantastic. His presence was excellent. He inspired confidence for me and I left the appointment feeling very calm after having seen a different cardiologist several months ago and being left without an explanation of a test I had gotten done. That is why I scheduled with Dr. Shah, I wanted to understand what was going on with my heart and specifically tachycardia for which I had been given medication but no explanation. I told Dr. Shah I needed to understand what was going on and had felt very dismissed at my other appointment. His listening skills were attentive and compassionate and he was most certainly not dismissive. I valued what he said as he explained it and took ample time with me to make sure I understand and to rule out something that he had apparently been concerned about. I did not realize until after I left that I felt calm for the first time in many months as I now understood what was happening and why. He allayed my fears about my heart and his presence and expertise allowed me to feel confident about my cardiac health. I felt very grateful for the visit. He and his nurse were both excellent. I really appreciated how much time he spent with me. He did not make me feel rushed and I felt he was thorough and took me seriously.
