Dr. Shah was very thorough with us in our visit today. We were able to get into a room 15 minutes prior to our appointment time and we only waited 5 minutes after our appointment time before we were seen by Dr. Shah himself. He took his time and answered all of our questions, even the repetitive ones. He sat with us for almost an hour, answering all of our questions and making sure that we felt confident in our son's care. We really appreciate everything Dr Shah does to go out of his way to make sure that we understand our sons condition and what to do to help him.
