Dr Shah is professional and knowledgeable. I appreciate that he evaluates the medication regime thoroughly. The office staff is consistently helpful and professional. I have been a patient for over 20 years. I highly recommend Dr Shah.

Acts like he doesn't have the time of day to be speaking to you. Spends half the time sitting in silence writing and the other half lecturing you, without asking questions or letting you speak. Always acts like the patient is doing/ has done wrong

He kept upping medications that I had serious side effects too. At one point he prescribed something I ended up having an allergic reaction to, and he said I should keep taking it. I could have died if I hadn't stopped it. After that I saw no point in returning to see him.

I always feel like I'm being rushed out when I'm with him. Maybe I have the wrong idea of what a Psychiatrist does. I thought they were supposed to talk with you to help you understand why you're feeling the way you do, not just write you a prescription & push you out the door. Don't get me wrong, I like Dr. Shah, I just don't feel like I'm being helped to get off my meds one day.

I am not sure why the other review said that he did not understand english. Dr Shah understands and speaks VERY good english. He is caring, and prompt to help when in need. Always able to get an appt when I need one. The front office staff could use some improvment in the Lawrenceville location but Dr Shah has no flaws that I have found and my son has been under his care for over 1 year now.

He seemed to genuinely care and took the time to find out what was going on.
