Samir D. Shah Md's Online Review Report Card

Great Doctor, organized office staff, easy communication! 👌

Dr. Shah is nice enough and talks through what he believes the problems are. That being said, I went through an entire process with my insurance to get an appointment with him, having to first do an at home sleep study. The sleep study is not explained as to what it is recording, so when I went in and was told I may have mild sleep apnea that was believable. Afterwards, I was told to cut out substances such as alcohol to get a more accurate reading, even though it was a self examination in which my girlfriend had to tell me when I scored or woke her up. After a month of recording I went back in and was told that my sleep issues are likely exacerbated by alcohol. While this may be true, I have had sleep issues (night terrors, sleep walking, sleep talking, excessive movement) my entire life, so to go through with months of doctors visits and copays only to be told my sleep issues are alcohol related is a bit underwhelming. So while Dr. Shah is nice enough, he has yet to give me any real information about my sleep issues.

My primary care doc referred me to DR Shah due to a home test for sleep apnea. I made an appointment two months out, the first available. 10:30 AM on a Tuesday morning. The office told me to arrive 15 minutes early and to wait in the car until the nurse called me in. (Covid protocol). At 10:20 the nurse called me in and showed me to an exam room. She weighed me, took blood pressure etc and went over my history. At 10:40 she was finished and told me to wait for the Dr. She then informed me that he has not yet called in. Turns out he goes to the hospital first and when leaving he sends a text to the office. Since the hospital is about 15 minutes from the office, I estimated that the earliest he would be there would be 11:00 AM. She then told me that there were 2 other patients waiting ahead of me. I told her that was ridiculous and I walked out of the office. Many doctor's have no regard for appointment times and seem to think their patients should just wait for them until they are ready no matter how long the wait. This is rude and inconsiderate.

He is one of the worst doctors you will ever meet, do yourself a favor and don't go to him. If you go there for sleep apnea, you get the sleep study done and there is no follow through, He doesn't return calls, lose your sd card, and blames you when he takes it from you,mean while your suffering because you cant breath and he doesn't care, his office staff is rude! No one picks up the phone. Awful place to go

Yo no recomiendo a este doctor. No tiene compasion con los pacientes. Es un Doctor sumamente peligroso para clientes que tienen situaciones avanzadas. Tuve oportunidad de presenciar el trato de un paciente ya mayor - en lugar de tratarlo con respeto, simplemente le dijo, "Te estas muriendo" con decirles que el paciente asi como yo que presencie el abuso nos congelamos en nuestros sitios. Nunca mas regresaremos con este doctor que con tanta crueldad trato al paciente. Un doctor muy cruel, sin sentido de compasion. Que pena que el hospital tenga que depender en doctores como este. Yo lo despediria porque no tiene valor moral alguno.

Every question that I had was fully answered in a very polite and intelligent manner. I have never felt rushed in any way with any appointment that I might have had with him. In a few very serious situations he has proven himself to be fully competent and well prepared for any adversity. I have and would continue to recommend him to anyone seeking my opinion.

I have been a patient for several years now and would highly recommend Dr. Shah to anyone. He takes the time to truly listen to any concerns I have and never seems rushed or inpatient. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes after my scheduled time, even when I have been scheduled as the first appointment in the morning. The practice has always warned Dr. Shah's patients that the first appointment of the day may be delayed because of the doctor's scheduled hospital rounds.

My husband and my two daughters go to Dr. Shah and he is wonderful!! He listens and then explains everything he has been spot on with all three of them and they are all doing great on his treatment plans can’t say enough.

Caring, compassionate and takes the time to explain everything and answer your questions
