Dr. Shah treats me with personal touch, listens to my complains and treats me very well. He is very polite and expert in what he does to treat me. He is a very humble doctor and intelligent with long experience.

My husband went to Dr. Shaw for a COLD, he ended being charged for an allergy test and a Nasal Endoscopy. Services he never received. He called the office in Rocky River to complain, they dropped the allergy test but not the Nasal Endoscopy. They even sent our Insurance Co. pictures taken from the Nasal Endoscopy. Love to know who's nose that was because it wasnt my husbands. We are going to file fraudulant charges against Dr. Shaw. We refuse to pay for services we didnt get. Watch your bills!!! He'll never go back.

Dr Shah is the best doctor I have ever seen. I have been going to see him since I was 5 years old and I am now 31, and take my kids to see him. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my ENT needs or my kids' ENT needs. He's definitely the best. Highly recommend and tell everyone about what an amazing doctor he is.

I saw Dr. Shah multiple times for a goiter. We decided it needed to be removed. He was excellent in getting each of my doctor to approve me for surgery. (I had 3 others)I found that to be very thorough. The surgery was performed, my scarring is minimal and felt Great after. I have since followed up with him 4 times so I am well followed. I too experienced the blackberry and etc, however, I believe that being a surgeon keeps him hopping all the time and having been on the surgery side of things am glad he wouldn't ignore a call if there were complications or anything. He is a very busy, but professional doctor.

While Dr. Shah was friendly and sympathetic, he checked his blackberry during my appointments, left the room multiple times to make phone calls, and each time I felt I had to re-explain my situation. Though he was friendly when he did speak with me, I felt he was never really paying attention. I was also charged for a procedure I did not have done so I was extremely unhappy about that.
