Dr Shah is an excellent physician. He was very apologetic for running late. He still spent time to explain my condition, treatment options, and follow up. performed a very thorough exam. Great interpersonal skills. Caring.

The wait time at the Edison office was so long I left. It is unacceptable to make a patient wait over an hour once their eyes have been dilated. While the wait time is an issue that needs to be addressed i think Dr. Shah is a great doctor I only wish I could have seen him.

I had my first visit with Dr. Shah in Dr. Wheatley's absence. He was attentive, kind, and professional. He explained my condition and provided comprehensive information I had not heard from the other doctors in the practice. I look forward to my next visit with Dr. Shah and highly recommend him without reservation.
