Swedish Hospital Pain Center's Online Review Report Card

It was my third experience. The first time with 6'7 white male blue eyed doctor with sharp tongue. He gave great advice on not smoking weed " dope" as he called it. With only 25 mg of topimirate 3 times a day with a fractured foot pain doctor.. you should know that is really a joke but thanks for your concern of what not to do. Maybe you should not tell your patients in front of your staff that you will duct tape clients to chairs if they stày mobile on hairline fractured ankles. I am a free spirit and must fly doc I come to you to be functionable. A bad joke. Just a bad joke.

This is more on the admin side. It’s absurd to have people wait over an hour to still not be seen. And this is before vitals are even taken. If patients are held accountable for showing up late then so should doctors!

These people canceled my appointment because, "insurance was inactive." I am looking in my BCBS portal right now and I have an active policy. They gave me no option to figure out why it wasn't showing up, just canceled and then berated me for being frustrated. It seems care in this country is just getting worse and worse. I had been waiting months for that appointment!! I'm out of work in a ton of pain and can't get help. It's evil.

3 back to back really positive experiences. When I first came, I was in so much pain I could not walk properly and had massive mobility issues. They were able to treat me without surgery, and every procedure was fast, professional, and went very smoothly. For each procedure I had (at the surgery center but not surgery), everyone was fantastic and went very well. I got my mobility back, am no longer in pain, and was able to avoid surgery even though my injury would often need surgery. Really great team, and Dr. Shah has done really well getting me a treatment that works, isn't over kill, and is sustainable.

I've had a great experience with results from Dr. Shah. Initially, I was unable to tie my shoes due to the back pain stemming from stenosis and arthritis. But after a battery of treatments not only could I tie my shoes pain free, but returned to fitness workouts and even, believe it or not, climbed a 5000 foot summit. I realize this is about pain management over the long run, but I feel I'm in good hands with Dr. Shah and his able staff.

Dr Sameer Shaw is wonderful !!! He really listens to you!! He is kind and caring. His staff is helpful and understanding. I can’t say enough about my experience. I would highly recommend Dr Shaw!

REVIEW – Dr. Sameer Shah After weeks of unrelenting, excrutiating pain, my Doctor sent me for an Upright MRI (it’s a thing!) Upon receiving the results, he thought I needed an epidural. I asked him to send me to the doctor that HE would go to, which is how I came to be a patient of Dr. Sameer Shah. Dr. Shah is kind, compassionate and extremely capable. He was very patient with me, taking the time to quell my fears and explain the procedures in a way I could understand. His staff is friendly and competent. The offices and surgical centers are immaculate and Covid-19 safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Shah to anyone. Like the MRI I, too, am upright now. ;-)

Snake oil salesman, gave me a shot in my stomach once a month and an expensive .5 Lidocaine cream (store brand is .4 Asperecreme) desined for rectal use eventually giving me an infection and another outpatient surgery for an existing brain surgery scar. AVOID these pill pushers at all costs.

Dr. Shah is amazing. The treatment plan he recommended has worked miracles for my back. The office staff is also helpful and pleasant. Great doctor and staff!

I’ve been seeing Dr Shah for a work related injury to my cervical spine for over a year. He is an exceptional doctor -efficient, highly knowledgeable and all the treatments I have received have been truly effective. I was in a great deal of pain before seeing him and he gave me an injection in his office then an epidural injection and Radio- frequency ablation in in the surgical center. I am no longer depressed and have a new and better quality of life. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done for me. His staff is also very respectful and professional. I get appointments without having good to wait long, usually within a week.
