If you want to see a doctor who doesn't listen to you, who has a one-size-fits-all approach, who dismisses your experience, and is highly judgemental of alternative modalities (for something as basic as sports massage), then this is the doctor for you! If you don't fit neatly into Shah's box, then you can expect to be written off in a wonderfully patronizing way. Also: 2 out of my 3 appointments were cancelled and rescheduled to accommodate his vacation plans. Seek care elsewhere.

Dr. Shah was unable to help me so I am getting a second opinion. Although I believe he explained my condition well, he was less than sympathetic and I found it hard to believe that my options are as limited as he claims. On top of it, I paid my co-pays for both office visits (totaling $90), during which he did nothing beyond review my symptoms and the radiologist's report, and yet I am still being charged a percentage of the $1,600 (yes you read that right) that he charged for those said visits.

I found the entire experience of my first time visit to Dr. Shah to be a very positive one. His staff, both in person and on the phone, have been very pleasant and worked to accommodate my schedule in booking both my initial and follow-up appointments. The doctor took me right at the scheduled time, which I felt was very respectful of both his time and mine.
He first spent time listening to my situation, then asked questions, ran a few very efficient diagnostics, and treated me on the spot.

Dr. Shah walked me through my carpal tunnel diagnosis and spent ample time with me throughout the year as I worked on non-surgical methods to ease nerve pressure. Ultimately, I needed to go through with the release surgery. Dr. Shah was sure I felt confident going into the surgery, and talked me through what my recovery would look like. He is an excellent physician and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Shah was excellent. I saw him twice concerning a wrist problem after an injury.
Over the past decade I had been to Northwestern twice, with different doctors, and had not been that pleased. I decided to give NW one more chance. This time I saw Dr. Shah and he listened well, explained everything clearly, asked if I had any questions, responded clearly to everything I asked, and was very friendly. Plus, both times he treated his interns well as colleagues which I respect. Love this guy.

Dr. Shah could not have gotten me out of the room faster shook his leg the entire time and spoke like a cattle auctioneer. Dr. Shah condescending, did not allow me to ask questions, did not explain potential causes of the issue, nor would he elaborate except when prodded. He referred me to get a test done and then got snappy with me when I asked about details of the test (like what exactly they were looking for). The bedside manner of this man needs improvement. I was in and out in only 7 mins..
