Dr. Shah saw me on the day requested and correctly diagnosed shingles. Because she saw me at the first sign of symptoms she was able to start treatment immediately, leading to a quick recovery.

I was a patient of Dr Shah’s for years. First her staff is very rude, I’m Sure she is aware of this they take their direction from her. If you catch her in a bad day she can be rather rude and condescending as well. But what is scary is her skin checks, She never looked at any skin that was covered up by clothing! I finally switched drs and my new Dr did a FULL skin check. Luckily for me because I was diagnosed with melanoma, a deadly skin cancer. Luckily it was in the first stages and I had it removed and have proper skin checks every 3 months now. Please take skin checks serious!

Unprofessional. She called a 5 year old ugly on her public Facebook page and she is an antivaxxer. She never apoplized and just deleted her fb. She is a detriment to public health, to the safety of others. Do not go to her. Go to a competent doctor.

How can a dermatologist, a low rated dermatologist with an internal medicine specialty attack a well respected, experienced physicians 5 yr old daughter calling her ugly. What a vile human. Obviously unable to have a healthy debate on vaccines

Couldn't get the fact that she publicly called another persons child UGLY just because he didn't agree with her.

Office staff is so rude, I refuse to pursue making an appointment. How she has a patient base is beyond me. If her staff is allowed to behave the way they do, she allows it and sets the example. She took an oath, she clearly has lost sight of what that was.

She's only interested in selling her products she cares little of her patients well being.

Went to see the doctor for a full skin check. She wouldn't even look at me. Asked me what I wanted her to look at, told me what I pointed at was nothing and wouldn't look at my back or anything more. She was rude.
