Ateet H. Shah's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Ateet Shaw was not concerned about my Colovesical fistula. Even though I told him I’m having pain in my bladder from fecal matter entering in my bladder. He said I shouldn’t be having pain. He basically told me to go get weight loss surgery before I can get surgery to remove the fistula and part for my colon. Like a weight loss specialist is going to do surgery on me with this issue going on. I was not at least impressed with him.

I never met Dr. Shah so I feel conflicted about leaving a negative review but my experience was extremely frustrating. I had an appointment and needed to wait about 7 weeks to be seen. His nurse/receptionist instructed me to perform an enima before arriving (no fun but understandable). I arrived five minutes early but the receptionist insisted I was 15 minutes late (I was not). She repeated that Dr. Shah has a policy that patients arriving more than 10 minutes late may need to be rescheduled and Dr. Shah would not see me. There was no confirmation (either electronic or snail mail) so I had nothing to show but my calendar appointment created months ago. The receptionist was happy to offer another appointment 7 weeks later, no thanks! I ended up finding an excellect physician that got me in a bit sooner and was even able to perform a check w/out an enima. I'd guess Dr. Shah is an excellent physician but I strongly reccomend ensuring you have a confirmation for all appointments.

I have to say that this is better late than never, as I had never thought of rating Dr. Shah. I truly appreciate the care and treatment that I had received from Dr. Shah and his associates.🤗💙🤗 Shalom🖖

Overall good however they were in too much hurry. After examination, he knocked the door like in 10-15 secs to knock us out. Changed the rating from 3 to 4. Everytime getting prompt response back from staff on every query and treatment really helped a lot

Dr Shah and his staff have been wonderful for my dad with Stage 2 rectal cancer at age of 80. He became cancer free on Sept 12 2018. Dr Shah has been compassionate and fully informative during this process.

Dr. Shah is a very skilled surgeon. He is knowledgeable and is a good listener.

Initially I felt overwhelmed and like he wasn't seeing my issue as "urgent". When in all reality he was very concerned about my over all health. He is matter of fact and doesnt sugar coat. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you Dr Shah and all your staff for everything.

I was sent to Dr. Shah as a follow-up to a hospital visit for a colon infection. He was a random choice and I did not know him. I am 81 years old but have had spastic colon issues all of my life. I am well informed about such issues after having dealt with doctors for over 50 years from coast to coast during my career. Dr. Shah treated me like I was either a child or had dementia. It was very humiliating and I did not want to go further with an examination. Reluctantly, I did, and then I left without further discussion. He was rude, cold and condescending.

All the staff are personable and make you feel like you are their only patient. Dr Shah is the bomb. He seems quiet and reserved but really cares.

He acted like my issues were made up. He said I have IBS and I suffered in pain for a year. He didn't even look me in the eye and talk about my issues before telling me I need a colonoscopy, which I told him I didn't think I needed. He misdiagnosed me and caused me physical and mental pain. His staff was incredibly rude and acted like I was burdening them when I would call. I had to change out of Community Health just to get someone else to see me because he wasn't any help and was immediately diagnosed with something different, which I was telling him all along I thought I had, and finally am out of pain. Definitely wouldn't recommend
