• I was very pleased with my visit to Dr Shah. He checked my right hip for strength & mobility; then checked my left hip which was replaced by another Doctor some 20 years ago. It isn't as strong as my left hip, & Dr Shah explained that it may have to have the plastic part replaced if it starts to give me trouble. He said he could do this & asked me to get in touch with him should I start to have difficulties. I was very reassured by his explanation and grateful for the warning. Altogether my experience was outstanding in every way!
