Saw Dr. Shah last week. She was fantastic. I was referred to her by a few friends who also go to her. She listened, was attentive and responded back to me in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her.

I found Dr. Shah to be warm, caring, competent, responsive and efficient. Definitely not rushing me through. I preferred her to the docotr that I initially saw. I am confused as to why people are complaining.

Like everyone said, this Dr has zero bedside manner. She doesn’t listen and didn’t even look at me during my appt. She is condescending and could care less about your concerns. Avoid.

I was sent to Dr. Shah as my doctor had left the state and needed a new endocrinologist without a 6 month waiting period. As she spent a total of 10 minutes with me each visit (twice now) I could see she could care less about my health. I am currently struggling with unknown severe weight loss to which she responded: "oh well its probably a change in appetite", in shock I said of course! I am not hungry and I don't know why! Recently she had the nerve to laugh at my question over the phone at which i had enough and called her out on her terrible bedside manner in my fragile state. AVOID AVOID AVOID- there are too many doctors in NYC to waste money and time on Dr. Shah

Loud, self-absorbed, note-taker, condescending, and absolutely no help whatsoever. I wasted time and money with this one. Twice. Never again.

Dr. Shah is an extremely lovely, capable, caring doctor! I saw her at the recommendation of my fertility doctor, and she was great! I am extremely nervous around needles, and during a test which required multiple needles and blood draws, she stayed with me, held my hand, and made me feel a million times better. If she is ever unsure of anything, she does a lot of research and makes sure to be very well versed in everything she does. I loved my experience with her, and will recommend her to anyone who needs an amazing endocrinologist!
