I was diagnosed in [redacted] that my left knee implant was septic and needed to be removed. Dr Shah started my medical RX care at that point following me forward to today. Fortunately Dr Shah now sees me every 6 months and I do blood work prior to my appointment. Throughout this time I have consulted with her, sent pictures, etc. relative to skin issues. She has always responded timely and prescribed meds when needed. It gives me comfort knowing she is part of my medical team.

[redacted] She listens very well. She understands, you know, how important it is for me to, you know, have correct information. You know, anytime I call and request something, you know, she's definitely on it. And I appreciate everything that she's done, everything she continues to do. I think she does an excellent job, and that's the reason why I continue to stay with her.

I only can say good things about my experience. Everyone have been giving the best. I was one week in room patient and beginning with the housekeeper, nurses and doctors have provided an excellent atmosphere. High hospitality standards. And to be honest I didn't want to come to salem hospital. It was the best decision to put my health in the professionalism of your staff.

Dr Shah is an amazing doctor. Was septic in 2023 and she has followed me now every 6 months. She takes time explaining the results of my blood work. Goes over my meds with me. Dr Shah is a caring. D compassionate Dr. she is the best.

My family and I feel very comfortable with this doctor. She recognized that I was not recovering well and prescribed a stronger antibiotic that appears to be working much better. I have a complicated medical history and she understands my needs and is very easy to work with.
