Dr. Shalin C Shah, DO

I wish zero stars was an option. I received horrible care. I was rarely seen by my doctor instead I was seen by a PA with just a few exceptions. Dr. Shah didn't waste his time working to provide me with patient care, It appeared to me that he was only focused on doing procedures which is where the real money is, with no regard as to how I was after the procedure. I had an MRI on my neck and lumbar area and Dr. Shah didn't even bother going over my results (even though I asked him twice to go over them with me). Prescription refills that were called in were either the wrong dose or called into the wrong pharmacy. I was twice left with out any pain medications at all, the last time for a week. On my last 2 visits I was seen by a PA who I felt was condescending, dismissive and retaliatory. This particular PA (Rachel) treated me as a drug addict instead of a patient. I have never in all my 60 years had any issues with any kind of substance abuse issues and I have multiple severe medical… problems. When I asked to see the office manager she came in with a man from the procedure center (who was dressed like a maintenance man. He had on a grungy/dirty T-shirt and dirty jeans, and if I'm right about his position Alliance Pain & Spine violated HIPPA by discussing my medical details with a non medical person who certainly had nothing to do with my care. When I explained to the manager (Mellissa) what had happened she dismissed me as a patient. She actually had the dismissal letter ready to hand to me when she came in without even hearing what I had to say. It was at her discretion whether or not to dismiss me. I believe that I was really released because I complained. My doctor, Dr. Shah, his PA (Rachel) and office manger (Melissa left me with no pain medication with no care about the withdrawal symptoms I will now have to suffer through. I think everyone at this practice forgot to read the part of the Hippocratic oath that says "First Do No Harm". My advice would be stay away from Alliance Pain and Spine.
