Panna Shah's Online Review Report Card

I had an appointment for an EMG. After waiting almost an hour to be seen, I was told that my hands and feet were too cold and I needed to go to the lobby and sit with my feet in a blanket with a heating pad for thirty minutes.. The office had a huge draft and it was 23 degrees outside. My hands and feet never got really warm. The patient after me waited and waited, was seen and then told that his hands and feet were cold. I asked the office staff if they ever just checked the patients and applied heat without being asked. They said no the doctor needs to see your first. So every patient had to wait an hour and then be told to go back to the lobby. How dumb is that. I asked the doctor if she was sure about my diagnosis. She said, "yes, positive, tell your family". So after worrying my family, she called me back a month and a half later and said "I think I'm wrong, come see me again." Needless to say, I did not go back. I went to another city, two hours away and yep, she was wrong.

Very rude; unfortunately she's the only neurologist in Flagstaff, Arizona

Dr. Shah was dismissive of the health information I provided and in my opinion did not perform a complete exam. She was curt in her answers and not forthcoming with very much information. I have multiple problems and a lot of nerve pain, and she was the first neurologist I have found in this area. I was very disappointed and would not go back to see her again.

My son had a severe concussion. We saw three neurologists before Dar Shah took the time to spend with us and to find out what was really wrong with him. We will always be grateful for her time and listening ear!

Felt like this doctor just jumps to conclusions and right away wanted to put me on medication. She spent less than 40 min with me! Very sad indeed!

I read some of the comments here. maria Gilmore was their office manager. She is being charged with forgery for 0ver 45000.00 dollars. How unfortuante ! I suspect she has put bad reports on thsi doctro here. She is very good. Comeptent.Diagnosed my fibromyalgia right away. I am living narcotic free. Thanks doctor.

It is really unfortunate she is the only neurologist in flagstaff. Very unhelpful, uninterested and unpleasant. I have a long term epilepsy condition which requires yearly dr exams. My exam includes me walking into her office, closing the door behind myself while she sits behind her desk, never actualy looking up at me. Many tests recommended by previous neurologists, kidney and liver check from meds and mri, have been thrown out the window by her. She is not interested in you as a person and does not begin to try to understand your condition as an individual, or try to remedy your condition away from prescription drugs. Many people I have spoken with drive the 2+ hrs to phoenix for a competent neurologist. I suggest the same.

I have had numerous visits, against my better judgement and for lack of other options in Flagstaff, and not only has she prescribed medications I have repeatedly told her I can't take, she performed a procedure on me that should have taken one time but ended up taking her twice to find the correct spot and I ended up in the emergency room. She is rude to the patient as well as the caregiver of the patient and I feel as if she doesn't listen to what I am telling her my symptoms and concerns are. She got angry with me at one appointment when I told her the medicine she gave me wasn't working and said "Well what do want me to do about it?" She is the doctor with the degree. That's why we pay her. I will never go back to her nor will I recomend her to anyone. It is hard enough to suffer from migraines on a continual bases and deal with symptoms of MS, but it is rediculous that we are treated like lab animals by professionals who are suppose to care about us.

this has to be the worst doctor that i have ever been to. she does NOT listen to any of your issues. does not look at mri's or other records that you bring with you. all's she is worried about is pushing med's that are not needed.. save time and money and ask for another doctor.

Was treated curtly and with no compassion.She will not return phone calls, nor follow up. She sends messages through her staff.She let my prescription run out and took her sweet time (about a week) to call them in, while I was in needless pain.Staff does not call call back when they say they will, and loses track of messages.I think this doctor needs a dose of her own medicine before she's allowed to treat anyone else.
