So far I am quite happy to have Dr Shah caring for me. He seems to know his job and so far has made correct calls on my problems. He comes across as interested and caring.
The most recent visit from Dr Shah was on the day that I was leaving the hospital after my operation. I was so happy to see him. He came in to check that I had everything I needed for my discharge and for my ongoing recovery period. Dr Shah is very thoughtful, caring and a great listener. He takes his time when he visits, for example, explains test results in a way that is easy for me to understand. He is inclusive and allows time for me to ask questions. I'm truly Blessed to have Dr Shah as my oncologist. He has helped me so much getting through my journey which has had an outstanding result.
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...
Following diagnosis of a bowel cancer that required treatment urgently, Doctor Shah explained how a new immunotherapy treatment might work for me. He also reassured me that he would be constantly monitoring and evaluating. My situation was dire, and Bhaumik was always available: always answered my calls, and visited me daily during my time in hospital after surgery to remove the tumour. The understanding and confidence he had in the course of treatment of my cancer was proven. My outcome was astonishingly good, and I am sure others will also benefit from his knowledge, expertise and care.
As always, Dr Shah is very caring and explains information very clearly and concisely. He is always happy to answer my questions and consider what is best for my health.
Dr Shah is very patient, knowledgeable and concise with his communication. He never makes us feel rushed and we appreciate his efforts when we reach out for scripts or things needed to be sorted outside of the treatment time. We truly appreciate not only his knowledge but care he has displayed
We have been seeing Dr Shah for the past 2 years. He is an Angel in our eyes. His patient bedside manner is exceptional. He diagnosed the condition before any tests which then confirmed he was right after Pet scans etc. he explains everything clearly, he listens to us and manages my condition exceptionally. We will definitely recommend Dr Shah to anyone 💙
