Dr. Shah is AMAZING! I was referred to her for hip bursitis. She located the inflammation, gave me a shot directly into the bursa and within 2 days I felt 95% better! I highly recommend her!

This review is long overdue - Dr. Shah is one of the best doctors in any specialty that I have ever seen. I had an ankle injury several years ago that did not heal properly, and over the course of the following year, I consulted a podiatrist and three experienced orthopedists specializing in ankle problems. None of them made the correct diagnosis and, in fact, the interventions by two of those individuals made the problem worse, so that I was unable to walk without considerable pain for months. Fortunately, I finally made an appointment with Dr. Shah, who took a very detailed history, reviewed the MRI scans, did a meticulous physical exam and deduced the correct diagnosis: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (or CRPS). The treatment for this is completely different from that of any of the (mis)diagnoses made by the other doctors. Because of her, I was able to receive appropriate treatment, so that the CRPS no longer interferes with my daily life. She is a thoughtful, caring and dedicated physician who fully deserves all the 5-star reviews posted here and on Yelp.

Dr. Shah is knowledgeable, analytical, good "bedside manner", and explains things as she goes in layman's terms. She tries to find non-surgical solutions, and if surgery is needed, the least invasive procedure that will resolve the problem. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Shah is calm, kind, caring, personable, concerned and above all, a skilled, knowledgeable and superb doctor. I have seen Dr. Shah for a variety of joint, muscle and tendon issues - tears in my Achilles, trigger fingers, hip and back pain, neck tightness and more over many years. She considers me as a whole person and is incredibly attentive about figuring out what is wrong and how to treat it. Dr. Shah talks to patients as equals and involves patients in decisions about the course of treatment. I appreciate that she discusses various options and lays out the least invasive approaches first. It is also refreshing to have a doctor who takes aches and pains seriously and works towards restoring mobility and life style. She is a real gem. My husband and friends have become patients upon my recommendation and all are as pleased as I am.

Dr. Shah is really knowledgeable and offered many alternative methods of treatment for my issue. She is supportive of interventions only when necessary. Great office staff too. What a find!

Dr. Shah has helped me tremendously with various issues I’ve had. I came in with pain in my elbow/forearm area. She was very thorough, and assessed it was tendinosis, whereby she performed PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) procedure. After PT and rest, it has completely healed. I’ve had other issues and I feel like I have a doctor I can trust.

I've been having foot pain for almost a year. I saw a couple of doctors during that time, but they weren't able to diagnose what was wrong with me. After seeing Dr. Shah, she was able to diagnose and treat my foot and I'm now pain free. Dr. Shah is amazing. She is brilliant, kind, and most of all thorough. I felt like she really saw me, and she didn't pass me off to another doctor when my symptoms were difficult to diagnose. She persevered, figured out what was causing my pain, and treated it. She's rare in the fact that she really spends time with you, listens like a friend, and truly cares about your well being. Her office staff has the same compassion and understanding. It sounds odd, but you can sense it when you walk into the office. Hazel is awesome. They're all awesome. Thank you, Dr. Shah. You are so appreciated! I've been having foot pain for almost a year.

Dr Shah has been the best Ortho I've ever had. I've been to her for PRP in my knee, and cervical spine disc herniations. She's very informative and very knowledgeable about my circumstances. Her staff is great to work with. I continue to confide in her and things are really on the up and up with her help and insights.

I was referred to her with a badly torn (not yet ruptured) Achilles tendon, that was 4 years old. I was in the boot, in a LOT of pain. She was very honest with me every single step of the way. She did the Tenex Procedure on the tendon. I went to the follow up post-op, and was already relieved of most of my pain, so we scheduled the platelet rich plasma injecting to see if that could finish what the Tenex started. I went for my follow- up today, in almost no pain, walking completely unaided. I didn't think I'd ever be able to walk without a limp. But today, I am. Her staff in the office are amazing, and communicative. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who asks.

Dr Shah takes a very proactive approach - so very helpful and listens! I wouldn't go anywhere else - very very happy with my experience in seeing Dr Shah.

So grateful that I was referred to Dr. Shah! I am a dancer with hyper-mobile shoulder blades. After seeing multiple different types of doctors for what I thought was a shoulder injury, Dr. Shah was the first person who was able to accurately diagnose what the actual issue was- a myofascial trigger point in my neck. After years of struggling and starting to lose hope about how much my dance was being impacted, I am already seeing so much improvement after just a couple of visits with her. I’ve been getting a series lidocaine shots as well as doing physical therapy and am feeling so much more positive as I can already feel a difference! And I feel SO relieved to finally know what has been causing all the problems. Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable and down-to-earth. In our initial meeting she took the time to actually figure out what was going wrong unlike experiences I’ve had with other doctors’ offices where they are in a hurry and it seems like they’re not truly invested in helping you find a solution.

Dr. Shah came highly recommended, and she is a terrific doctor! She is knowledgeable, caring, and has a wealth of experience to draw upon.

I found my way to Dr. Shah after some pain in my hip about a year and a half ago. Under her kind and patient care and referrals to some excellent surgeons in the area, I discovered I had Femeroacetabular Impingement since birth, and had I not discovered it, I would have been looking at hip replacement at 45. Fortunately, I was able to have laproscopic surgery with Dr. Sampson in SF, back on my feet almost immediately, and can now tie my shoes with ease - something I have not been able to do since I was 14!

Dr Shah has been very instrumental in keeping me healthy and out of pain for many years. She is knowledgeable, caring and has a good sense of judgment and always looks out for the patient’s best interest. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good Doctor to keep you active

I cant say enough about Dr. Shah. When I went to her, I was in very bad shape and could barely walk. Dr. Shah was kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. She listens and she hears you. I felt that several doctors hadn't taken my reported symptoms as seriously as I felt they should have, but Dr. Shah did -- this resulted in a top tier surgical correction of a serious medical complication and resolution of symptoms. I shared the results with the rest of my care team, and everyone was able to update their picture of what was going on with me as a result. In this way, Dr. Shah completely turned around the management of a serious illness and got me back on track. Dr. Shah continues to work with me diligently to get to an optimal state of physical wellness. She goes step by step, treating one issue at a time. This was important because when so many doctors had treated my superficial, confusing and non-specific symptoms or ignored/declined to image my multiple and overwhelming joint complaints, Dr. Shah patiently and fully workes up each issue while also assessing which ones are most important to address first. Dr. Shah got me to the right place and mentally prepared me to resolve the biggest underlying issue first and I can't thank her enough. She really pressed on me to get to the very best surgeon for my condition, even though it meant going out of state when I was having trouble traveling -- she saved me from having my skull fused and it ended up preserving the use of my neck -- it was so worth it. I eventually found a great new Primary Care doctor after leaving my first, and during the time I was changing over, Dr. Shah and her staff truly helped save my quality of life. I was so thankful to be heard and treated well after a lot of suffering and confusion. She also does minimally invasive treatment of joints including ultrasound guided cyst aspirations, platelet rich plasma (also ultrasound guided), a non-allergic version of synvisc, and tenex. We're working through things together, and I drive an hour out to see her on a regular basis because she's worth it. I wish I could give ten stars. I cant say enough about Dr. Shah.

Dr. Shah and her team are awesome! My wife severely sprained her ankle over the holidays. Dr. Shah made arrangements to see and treat her. She prescribed treatment program, braces and exercise that have resulted in a rapid recovery. The office staff are very helpful, professional and friendly. We highly recommend her!

Dr. Shah did an outstanding job of treating my wife’s severe ankle injury. We got into to see her quickly, the treatment approach brought fast, effective results and she is well on her way to a complete recovery. Dr. Shah and her staff are awesome! Beautiful and inviting office environment!
