Dr. Janki Bhuva Shah, MD

I should have read the reviews before I booked an appointment with her. Everything other people have said happened to me with her. So rude. Not explaining things. Definitely rush to judgement. Ordering so many tests. I made a wrong decision about seeing her. Never again.

I have been to this Doctor twice. I get the feeling she is not happy and doesn't like her job. She has prescribed many time consuming test, which is fine if they are necessary. The problem is trying to get the results explained in a thoughtful, conscientious or helpful way. She acts as if she can't wait to get on to the next patient, so she can get home as soon as possible. She gives the least amount of information possible, so she can move on to the next patient. She acts very hurried and impatient. When I asked her a question about something on the test she was going over, instead of giving me an explanation she told me I needed to make an appointment with another Doctor to get the answer to that. The last time I was in the office, she didn't even say goodbye, just said she was going to get copies of my tests for me and then never came back. I would never recommend her to anyone.

This doctor is one of the worst I have ever encountered, and definitely not up to the UCLA standards. She also has no idea about women's heart-related issues as she claims. She does not partner with you in your care, rather she condescends and makes assumptions that are dangerous, and lead to her treating you like you are not worth helping. Her rush to judgement in all things in your file is unbelievable. I couldn't believe what I was hearing her say. Her tone is accusatory, and she has no compassion or empathy at all. She is also very linear in her approach. There is only one way - and that is the only way (such as with medications). While a poor bedside manner is excusable when you have the finest doctor, she is far from even being decent. There is no excuse for a lousy bedside manner and a below average level of competence and/or expertise. I don't trust her with my care after one visit, which is why I have found a new cardiologist. I hope someone at UCLA reads these… reviews, and I also wish that her doctors treat her the way she treats her patients - with a complete lack of respect and decency. Truly, I am certain she harms more people than she helps.

Rude, self-serving, untruthful.
