Dr Melissa Shah, MD

No stars for M D S. 3 years past i had a vistula in my arm. yesterday a had a complete make over in the arm performed a real Vascular Doctor, No instruction concerning follow up after her procedure and general care of my vistula to prevent what happened Yup i call this neglect and shabby work, Yes she is rude and not forth coming with what a patient needs. Done with her and i hope any one reading finds a vascular doctor worthy .

Office is like a dog clinic! Her nickname is fitting the butcher.

Very kind and thoughtful Vascukar Surgeon. She seems educated but also knows when she should seek help. Helped me when she operated on me and also when she did not. She cared for me and my family, as well.

Dr Shah is the last person you want in your corner. I asked a question in her office. She sais, "I've already answered that. Let's move on." She told me she was scheduling a procedure on one leg, but told her office people to schedule it for both legs. I was being wheeled from the pre-surgical waiting room, (I was out of sight of my spouse), Dr Shah told my spouse, "If he comes out of this alive, he may lose his leg." When I told Dr Shah that I was transferring to another surgeon, she said, "i wont transfer your records until we discuss this face to face." She has since been called by ER doctors for consultation concerning my case. I believe she intentionally gave inappropriate advice, when she could have referred them to my podiatrist/surgeon.

I went to see Shah after l was able to have Medicare assistance.l was the bread winner everything/one but me had insurance,self employed l even had liability insurance for a long time.. At 65 l thought l will attend to myself a little.l had trouble walking up hills l had to stop every few minutes,my right leg was tired,then on up again,l explained this in A cosultation w Shah..She said quote...’It is a fairly routine surgery over night probably..fairly routine...l can do this.l When l got home after the advised 3 days l took off the dressing.A 5” livid gash on right groin.lt looked like a civil war field op to me..my leg was swollen.l can only precis this story,just salient details 1/4 of the tale if that....The wound scabbed over 4 times healed really slowly.l went to see her after 3 weeks n complained,She was angry ana adamant...”l told you” re..the pain swelling ‘that may happen” l said the ..fairly routine story.She insisted she told me in my room after op..like as if l… was cognisant at that juncture... It felt all wrong to me..Apr 27 in Oct 4 same year my foot numb since surgery.ln bed l felt odd,l touched ny numb foot,IT WAS LIKE AN ICE CUBE ,I LOOKED...WHITE AS A SHEET..I drove to ER.they said l came really close to loosing my foot.the Shah op whateverit was had catastrphically failed.

This horrible doctor did not informed us the surgery failed until it wastoo latesnd needed a aka . her goal here was to do more amputation . my mother died later due to no blood flow and lead turn to gangrene and blood infection. My mother suffered and had no compassion she us cold hearted! karma on you the suffering you caused !

Don't trust this witch doctor for your life. My mother died because the failed surgery she did to her! My mother was in so much pain at her office and she told my mother no yelling here get out if can't wait! She waited over an hour and she was on the phone the whole time ! She is heartless and evil she should not be a licensed doctor . Thou shall not harm motto is no existence with this women.
