Dr. Nishant Sureshchandra Shah, MD

Doesn’t have experience with genetic seizures, he didn’t even know what my sons epilepsy was! After a month inpatient and the genetic report came in, Shah said, “there’s nothing more I can do for you” and he sent my 3 month home with 4 seizures meds drugged put of his mind and still having 20 seizures a day! He didn’t even consult Lurie’s at all for help. “Enjoy the time you have left with him.” Find an Epileptic specialist who actually has some knowledge this one doesn’t….. btw my son is 3 years old now.

We met Dr Shah shortly after our daughter had a grand mal seizure out of the blue. Dr Shah is the most caring compassionate patient doctor we have ever met. He cares about our daughter as if she was his own. He explains everything to us. He answers all of our questions (and I often come prepared with a list!) and has never made us feel rushed. His offers treatment options and carefully explains the pros and cons of each, as well as weighing in with his expert opinion. Now that our daughter is older he speaks directly to her, which she appreciates. We actually look forward to our appointments with him.

He is the best doctor .

My daughter came to see Dr. Shah for sever chronic migraines that started when she was 8 and they still continue as of today. She is now 18 and has had no relief from her sometimes daily migraines that can last for days and leave her totally incapacitated. DR. Shah's only recommendation was to take a series of antidepressants that either made her migraines worse or gave her other extreme side affects. She is now at an age where she can no longer see him and we are looking for another neurologist. I have mixed feelings of Dr. Shah. He is a nice Dr. but was ineffective in treating my daughter. He was also not available on off hours when my daughter was having a sever reaction to one of the medications that he prescribed and the Dr. on call would not treat her because she was not his patient. If you decide to go to him, make sure you know how to reach him on off hours in the event that you need to talk to him.
