Reviews
I have had 2 appointments with Dr. Shah now, and have to say how impressed I have been with how my care is going.
Un rushed and personable, with great results from the care I am receiving.
Thank you so much
Doctor Shah is truly outstanding. She made me feel at ease as soon as I met her. She listened to my concerns and assessed my symptoms thoroughly.
Prior to seeing Doctor Shah, I had been given a misdiagnosis by several medical professionals. Doctor Shah was able to explain my symptoms and provide an accurate diagnosis within my first consultation. She has a wealth of knowledge and is extremely talented.
During a follow-up consultation, Doctor Shah could see the level of distress I was in due to feeling ill with unrelated symptoms. My GP practice were too busy to see me and I had been in pain for more than a week. Although I wasn’t visiting Doctor Shah for this reason, she assessed me there and then, even though it wasn’t her responsibility to do so. This truly reflects the levels of dedication and care she holds.
I am so appreciative to have met someone as committed and compassionate as Doctor Shah and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
The best doctor I have ever met in my 50 years! Has helped me lose 3 stone. Could not recommend Dr Shah anymore. Understanding, caring and above all completely listens to what I need.
Dr Shah is incredibly personable and naturally puts you at ease during consultations. As a patient with a rare condition ( Scleroderma) it is refreshing and reassuring that during difficult stages of this illness Dr Shah always suggests new ideas and plans of action to ensure the best outcome is achieved whilst helping patients reman positive and hopeful.
Dr Shah completely transformed my life from being literally disabled and in agony on a daily bases to full mobility and pain free, to the degree I could resume my role as a nurse in a busy hospital . I was diagnosed with rhematoid arthritis and given biologic injections weekly and hydroxychlorine tablets daily . Dr Shah listens carefully to all you tell her, never any rush and is extremely compassionate . Always takes action promptly and follows your progress after implementing any new treatment . I will be forever grateful to her for giving me my life back .
