Dr. Kara N Shah, MD, PhD

If I could give zero star I would. Recently took my child to Dr. Shah as she has prescribed a medication that now given my child horrible side effects. She refused to even see us in regards to our concern. We begged to see her. She sent in the receptionist to see us to tell us we didn't need to see her and that our severe swelling, joint pain, muscle weakness had nothing to do with the medication she prescribed. We begged her to take some blood to rule out liver issues as our child's liver enzyme was elevated on previous blood work. She refused and told us to go see our pediatrician and have her do it. We were shocked, she could care less that my child was suffering. Well we went to our pediatrician and was sent right to ER to get blood work, which came back with extremely high liver enzyme levels and my child was immediately given an IV to help flush out the Meds. Our pediatrician was shocked that Dr Shah was not tracking these levels. Do yourself a favor and be very careful with Shah

We were referred to this doctor by our pediatrician. Unfortunately, she had an arrogant demeanor and was unable to justify her treatment protocols and the length of time for the medication prescription, which were excessive. She was irritated by basic questions and became defensive or deflected them during the exam. Her staff dropped the ball causing unnecessary delays in obtaining the prescription, blaming other 3rd parties. She did not even examine the area during follow up exam to assess the treatment’s progress and was dismissive of some of my daughter’s concerns. She is one of the worst medical providers I have ever encountered. My daughter refuses to continue to be treated by her.

I took my daughter to Dr. Shah as a referral and second opinion for skin issues she's been having for the past couple of years. While Dr. Shah's staff members were kind and welcoming, Dr. Shah herself was not. She was incredibly condescending, arrogant and rude. She seemed put off by the methods we've tried in the past, talked to us as if we were uneducated and would not look at other trouble areas on my daughters body, only those that were specific to the referral. For me, a good provider experience is with a doctor that is truly invested in the patient and wants the best whole health care for them. I would not recommend her to anyone.
