Doctor listened very well
Excellent doc. He explained everything did a great job
I know Doctor Shah it's very very busy, but I would have liked to have asked a few questions.
Doc was attentive and engaging. He was patient and listened to me and did not seem to be in a rush as docs often do.
Dr Shah did a good job of explaining the next steps during my office visit. Unfortunately, there was a bit of delay and confusion about what was being prescribed and there was minimal communication about when the Rx would be ready. I had to call and message the office a few times and ultimately had to contact the pharmacy myself and have them contact the Northwest ENT office.
Dr Shah is a perfect doctor. He listens and solves problems. It's been an extraordinary experience.
