I first went to see Dr Shah for more information and a second opinion following a recent diagnosis by a different doctor. I have never felt more listened to and understood as a patient. I felt very concerned about the future and my outlook prior to seeing Dr Shah but I now feel very reassured and confident that things can improve with the right treatment. I couldn't recommend Dr Shah highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Dr Shah - a definite leader in her field. I felt completely comfortable, listened to and most importantly understood when explaining my struggles that I have had for so many years. Dr Shah provided a same day diagnosis and treatment plan for myself, contacting all relevant healthcare professionals in my NHS care too. The care I received from Dr Shah was personalised and compassionate from start to finish of my initial assessment. I will be returning again with any further medical needs and would recommend that anybody searching for a rheumatologist pays her a visit!

I've suffered an ongoing problem for years, this last episode has lasted for 3months. Pulled from pillar to post with GP's. Within 7 days Doctor Shah has not only diagnosed me, but also put me on treatment which has seen me mobile within 3 days. I cannot praise her enough. Her manner is impeccable. So friendly. You never feel rushed and you just know that she genuinely cares. The most impressive thing is she actually listens intently to you and explains every detail in layman's terms so you can fully grasp all the medical jargon.. A lovely lady.. I'm so glad I've had the pleasure of meeting her...

What can I say other than Dr Shah has changed both mine and my husbands quality of life. Throughout lock down when I was in the most unbearable pain Dr Shah was contactable via phone or zoom advising and recommending alternative medication, Dr Shah even contacted me late one Sunday evening when I could not physically move my foot. It was a pain I have never experienced before. From that phone call and a recommendation to increase my medication the pain relief was within hours of her phone call. 18 months on I now have a full diagnosis and medication to ease and help my quality of life. I cannot recommend Dr Shah highly enough for what she has done for me, she made me feel at ease when I spoke of all my various ailments and was not at all dismissive. I felt like I was going insane with pain moving from one part of my body to another without any warnings, Dr Shah was the only person who fully understood what I was experiencing. Dr Shah has exceptional patient skills matched only by her obviously vast and in depth experience of the area that she specialises in. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking advice and relief from the pain and stress of rheumatoid ailments. Thank you Dr Shah you have made a huge difference to my life. Janette.
