Dr. Shah seems to be exceptionally good at what he does. He is a very nice, courteous and friendly man. He could spend a little more time as I feel rushed to get all my questions asked. I always start with "I have several questions for you today" so he knows not to run off before I can ask everything I need to. Even then, it is very rushed. But you could not ask for a more knowledgeable or more pleasant doctor.

Dr. Shah seems to be knowledgeable but he tries to cram way too many patients into one afternoon, as many as 45 in an afternoon. It feels as though you are on an assembly line in the office, but again, I think he knows what he's doing.

Dr. Shah's technical knowledge seems beyond peer.
