Compassionate knowledgeable healthcare professionals and staff with beautiful ambience
Most caring , informed professionals!!!
An appointment with Dr. Shah is always informative, effective and friendly. He is very knowledgeable and has a great manner. He answers my questions, sometimes before I ask them. He is confident and realistic about his suggestions regarding injections, surgery, etc. The staff is also great, efficient and friendly. They have state of the art, cool equipment used for evaluation, analysis, treatment and diagnosis. I’ve never had to wait in the waiting room very long, nor in the exam room. They’ve got customer service figured out. This is a wonderful, efficient and friendly place.
Dr Shah is the best!!
Great
I spent one full year in pain before moving forward with shoulder surgery. My primary doctor made the right call, suggesting Dr. Shah an his Team at VOI. It’s been one full year, an I could not be happier with the results!
Excellent, very professional
Staff is great and polite. I understand that delays are unpredictable in surgical procedures. Keep up the good work. Probably be back around October or November this year for injections in my hands. So far you're clinic has been good.
As good as it gets. Everyone was courteous, very professional, on time, and left with a good understanding of my injury. Highly recommend Dr Shah
Very nice. Explained everything
Overall it was good
Dr. Shah is kind and personable. In this day of phone and computer contact, he takes the time to question, explain and listen. I am grateful for his time and effort.
Great staff and Dr. Shah was very thorough as well as prompt.
Very good Doctor. Great bedside manner.
The only issue I have is the receptionist Cynthia. I will admit I was late, but things had happened to avoid that. I am taking care of many things, and I got caught on the phone for too long. I also depend on many people and my worker was giving me a ride. She hollered my name from across the reception area before I barely got in the door. I tried to explain and give her some paperwork that was given to me by my oncologist office Dr. Shah she really and Natalie says she didn’t need it and I was supposed to be there at two, which was wrong because I wasn’t supposed to be there until 240 and yes I still was late , she was speaking very loudly and I asked her if she could lower her tone because it was hurting my ears and she got offensive and said I was being rude that no one has ever told her that I said that maybe it was the echoing. My worker was sitting in the reception area, and she was just not router to another gentleman that had walked in because the other receptionist gave him a check-in board . Other than that everyone else was wonderful, wonderful!! I have been in the business been in many types of business and never got treated that way. If nothing else, I feel, she should learn to respect her elders and her job and the people around her. She even stood up like it was going to intimidate me. I do not want everyone and their mothers to know my information and what is going on with me when I go into a doctors office and I don’t expect it to happen. And when I do go back in, which I will I will go to the other receptionist.
Very knowledgeable. Good bedside manner
Great MD
Always professional, on time, and answers questions completely
Dr. Shah is knowledgeable, professional & kind. I highly recommend Dr. Shah for your orthopedic needs.
Dr . Shah was very helpful about how to handle my pain. It was quick and effective.
Dr. Shah scraped the calcium deposits off my right shoulder yesterday. I haven’t even had to take an aspirin for any pain! The staff was great and I highly recommend them.
Dr Shah is very kind, easy to talk to Dr. He is very gentle and explains exactly what he is doing. I'm grateful for him. I highly recommend.
Short wait times. In and out in no time. Very professional and very good assistants. Very thoughtful.
