Dr. Sachin Shah, MD

Dr Shah was amazing before, during and after the mitral valve repair. Due to complications it had to be open heart surgery, he did an incredible job, there was only minimal discomfort during the recuperation period and now-six years later-it is like it never happened. Even during physical therapy (shortly after surgery) with many other patients from different doctors it was clear how superior his work was. The scar was almost nothing compared to the others, and the connected healing far faster as well. He is also the most personable and helpful doctor I have ever had. All around fantastic to be in such good hands for such a difficult situation.

I was so blessed to learn about Dr. shah and the robotic assisted DiVinci surgery in SF. He set up a great team, from his office staff to all the doctors I needed. Every t was crossed and I was dotted to make a smooth experience. I was up and walking in two days and had complete control over my pain. There are a few small scars on my right breast and two in my right groin area. All would be covered by the skimpyest of bikinis. Dr. Shah warned me that although I didn't feel like I had surgery, my heart had a titanium wire inserted to build a door frame and I needed to let it recover as if my sternum had been split. Slowing down after surgery was the toughest part of the whole experience. I have so much more energy and my fibromyalgia symptoms are almost gone. I wish I could give more stars as my whole experience was above and beyond anything I ever expected. (The salmon at the hospital was some of the best I have eaten and I am a foodie).

Dr. Shah has the complete package: he is highly skilled, articulates the process in a comprehensive manner, and has a positive yet realistic attitude. He visited me each day while I was at CPMC following my robotic mitral valve repair. I and my daughters highly recommend him.

outstanding doctor and wonderful person did robotic heart surgery on my husband, great result
