Apurva Shah's Online Review Report Card

1.I have seen Dr Shah several times. In June 2022, my husband and I had Covid. Dr Shah called us everyday(even Sat and Sun) to check up on us-that our symptoms were not getting worse and no new symptoms were starting. He repeatedly told us to call him if we needed anything. It was a huge reassurance to us-Covid is scary 2. I just got out of Hca Florida Largo Hospital for major abdominal surgery. Dr Shah came in to see me everyday and he listened to me. He knew what the specialist had done and what the plan was. He wanted to see me as soon as I was released from the hospital and continues to monitor my condition. I am 66 yrs and my husband 65. I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to know that Dr Shaw has our backs and we trust him to prescribe and diagnosis accurately while truly caring for his patients. I would highly recommend Dr Shah to anyone looking for a primary care Doctor.

Throughout all of my visits Dr. Shah was on time, caring, knowledgeable, honest and understanding. He recognized prescriptions that I take for another illness where most doctors don’t. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an excellent OB/GYN that is informative and wants to answer your questions. He was on time for every appointment and spent the time I needed to review my condition. I had no issues getting the information that I needed and the support staff are great. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. This practice is top notch. I appreciate everyone for helping me through the process. Thanks Dr. Shah and staff. Tina G.

Went in last year 3times in 5 weeks all he did was a blood test. Had to go in for results and he lived about my results. then after already confronting him on it and what my expected care I wanted he got up in my face demanding .called my insurance company and they called him. He said he was trying to raise his doctor rating. I have no respect for him as a doctor and less as a person. Randy Baughman

The wait to see Apurvah was over an hour. Upon seeing Apurvah, he inquired about my Cardiologist and I informed him I was a patient with the Heart Institute in Largo. He ask me if I would change Cardiologist because he didn’t have a good working relationship with that office. I declined to change Cardiologist and Apurvah told me to find another Primary Physician because as he said”I didn’t want my Primary telling me one thing and my Cardiologist telling me another”. He said he could recommend someone better.

I was disappointed during my new patient visit. I was told the doctor needed to do a full history and was met with a nurse practitioner whose bedside manner was less than professional. Upon requesting to and actually meeting the doctor, it seemed the likelihood of a new doctor-patient relationship was not a possibility. The lack of professionalism throughout the office was too great. Unfortunately, I will not return to this establishment.

MORE INTERESTED IN UTILIZATION POLICIES FOR HIS BOTTOM LINE BONUS THAN PATIENTS HEALTH. SO CONSERVATIVE HE JEOPARDIZES YOUR HEALTH.

Friendly, warm doctor who truly cares for his patients.

My first appointment was most pleasant. Doctor Shah is a very warm person and explained my situation very clearly. On my follow-up visits, I have experienced the same caring attitude. Prior to my hip surgery and the required tests, his office accommodated my rather tight schedule so that I did not have to postpone my surgery. I'm very happy here.

We are very displeased with this Dr. office, because their billing and new office is in Northside Hospital which means you are billed at hospital rates. In our case, we are paying $1000.00 more out of pocket because of his office association with Northside.Because of this, we have decided to take our business elsewhere. They claim they tell their patients this, though nothing was said to us at the time.Good Dr., poor association!!

Very caring and took the time to listen to me. Has excellent bedside manners. I felt very comfortable with him as he guided me through a difficult cardiac problem. I'm happy to say Iam healthy and doing well thanks to him.
