Dr. Shah is an east coast native, originally from Long Island NY, and has lived in Chicago and Seattle. She completed both undergraduate and medical school at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL and went on to do her Internal Medicine training at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA.

Dr. Shah began her career working with inpatients at academic medical centers in both WA and MA. This experience left her with an intimate understanding of the experience of hospitalized patients, and helped her become a strong advocate for her patients when they navigate the hospital setting. Dr. Shah also brings the experience of working with a geriatric cohort, and managing a traditional primary care practice.

Together, these decades of experience in different fields of internal medicine have shaped Dr. Shah's unique perspective and holistic approach. She centers her care around maximizing quality of life and helping patients make decisions that help them to live their best life, however they define it. She believes in innate patient wisdom, and that we all ultimately know what is best for us.

Her passions include lifestyle medicine, nutrition, mental health and preventive care. She is a strong ally for the LGBTQ+ community. She is a mother of two active teenagers and loves to practice hot yoga and create art in her free time.

  • Everyone at Concierge medicine and Dr Shah have always been wonderful. The includes other specialists I have seen within MGH

    2026-06-04

  • Dr. Shah has been my primary care doctor since she joined MGH Concierge in 2022. I am fortunate to receive her attentive and excellent medical care since then as her patient. She is caring, dedicated and compassionate. We respect each other and have good communications. Dr. Shah always makes herself available in answering my questions and addressing my concerns if any. I am interested in preventative care, as well as in the effect of lifestyle (diet and exercise) on health. She is on the same page, and is always attentive and encouraging to me about this aspect of care. Dr. Shah is a good listener. She is skilled in her diagnosis and discusses options of treatment plans thoroughly, if needed. She knows how to incorporate my thoughts, my research on the medical topic and my inputs if a treatment plan needs to be put in place. [redacted] Dr. Shah has been in touch with me frequently since my husband's passing to make sure I am doing OK. I am surrounded by my 'village' who provides so much caring and support for me. This 'village' is made up of family, friends, neighbors and colleagues; and I am thankful. I am honored that Dr. Shah is one of my 'village' too who never ceases to care for me. Thank you, Dr. Shah.

  • Dr. Shah is an excellent doctor. She listens and seeks out ways to address your medical concerns. On this last visit, it was a little rushed towards the end of the visit. I would have liked to discuss a little more with her what could be causing the pain issue. Otherwise, Dr. Shah is a great and I can talk with her about my medical issues. I admire her abilities and respect her as my doctor.
