I have been a patient of Dr. Shah since 2016, 6 colonoscopy and 3 endoscopy procedures. I wouldn't go to anyone else. He is so kind and caring. Always willing to explain, asks if I have questions and never in a rush. Very thorough and wonderful bedside manner. His staff is great too both at the Digestive Center and his office.

Where is the smile?
Where is the smile? Very straightforward with answers. When expressed that the cost factor was a factor in the medication I would be able to take he offered online resource without really being a resource himself. I find that he offers medication without much thought. Almost like try this. Try that. No apparent interest in follow up progress outside of TWO months. Hard to schedule appointments much before 2 to 3 months out. He is still not working from his office because of Covid. All video telephone appointments only. In terms of having a colonoscopy with Dr. Shah, rate him highly. Yet contact with him directly is hard to achieve.

Very nice doctor
I first met him when I had my Colonscopy, my previous physician was not available. He explained the procedure. After the procedure he told my husband the results of what he saw, gave him the pictures. He also wrote out what he discussed. Very nice and professional physician.

Excellent care
Excellent care provided by Dr Shah and his entire bedside nursing staff. Highly skilled IV nurse is a plus! ALL bedside nurses were pleasant and appeared to “love what they do”. Highly recommend Dr Shah and his excellent team if you’re planning to have a colonoscopy. My husband and I will return for next colo because of this positive outpatient experience. Thank you

Colonoscopy and endoscopy
I have a hx of colon cancer plus significant difficulties with colonoscopy prep. Thanks to Dr Shah and his staff I was successful in my prep and calmly went into my procedures. Dr Shah is an excellent communicator. He clearly explained every step of the procedures. I had no questions and felt very confident that I was in excellent and caring hands. After procedure details were promptly provided. A very positive and thorough experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr Shah and his wonderful team.

An excellent doctor with a marvelous staff.
It was frustrating in the beginning to get an appointment. The nurses were wonderful and helped me relax. Their positive attitude lifted my spirit. Though I saw Dr. Shah for just a minute, his confident attitude was very reassuring. I will say the staff made all the difference. Well done ladies.

40 year old endoscopy
The doctor was descriptive, direct, and kind. I had heard great things about his skill set, but it was nice to have a positive experience with him personally. I felt in good hands as I went into the procedure. His PA that I did the initial appointment with was also fantastic. The nurse who checked me in went above and beyond. And all the follow-up nurse calls have been great.
