As a patient of Dr Shah's for just over the past five years with regular appointments my most recent visit, as usual, was a very satisfying experience..... Dr Shah is unfailingly a great listener and a great communicator with a readiness always to advise me regarding details of any recent tests I have had and to have a discussion about any future plans for treatment. I have the utmost trust with being his patient and, from the first time I met him, I was more than happy and confident to be taken on as one of his patients. In addition , his Receptionists are ,likewise, always welcoming, helpful and extremely efficient. I could not speak more highly of them...
Dr Shah has been my oncologist for the last three years. Every consult has been great as his professional manner and patient care have always been excellent.
10/10 Compassionate kind friendly Cannot recommend Dr Boski and her staff highly enough
I had a wonderful experience during both my visits. Dr. Shah was kind, polite and generous with his time in a very difficult situation for both myself and my partner. He explained all the details step by step and we walked away feeling reassured.
Spoke very clearly and explained everything extremely well.
A gentle, caring specialist who makes each patient feel they are his only patient.
