Dr. Shahab is one reason I am still alive. He cares about his patients. For those who think he is rude, he has a lot of patients he takes care of, and I'm sure a cardiologist is under a lot of stress. I will continue seeing him because he is a skilled doctor, and I know I am in good hands.

I was experiencing unusually low energy so my Internist gave me a referral to Dr Shahab. Dr Shahab tested me and found coronary artery disease and we scheduled an angioplasty with stent. The improvement was immediate. Two additional procedures added three more stents. I have no physical restrictions and lead an active life at age 77.

I’m never going back to this ego maniac again. He never remembered important information like whether he prescribed medication for me or what problem I was coming in to see him for. He was also very rude and performed unnecessary procedures on me.

Excellent service as staff is very well trained. Dr. Shahab personally gave me undivided attention. He takes his time to explain to me the accurate diagnosis to my satisfaction. Very well managed facility.

I have been seeing Dr. Shahab for over 10 years. I trust him very much because he always gave me hope and worked hard to save my life on many occasions. He never gives up and always try to find solutions to help his patients. His staff are excellent and extremely patient oriented.

Dr. Shahab has an awful bedside manner and is completely unwilling to answer his patient's questions. He makes you feel very uneasy and uncomfortable for even speaking up. He comes off as a very narcisstic man who only cares about the money. I had a terrible experience with this physician and do not recommend him to anyone who wants to be taken care of.

Saved my spouse's life on two occasions when other (US Govt) physicians felt procedures were "too dangerous". Absolutely dedicated to the patient and providing the best professional care possible. I have spent over ten years in direct daily contact with physicians in US Military facilities in combat and in garrison and rate Dr Shahab among the very best I have known. Always available and always ready to follow up he is remarkable among doctors I have known in that he LISTENS as much as he talks.
