Doctor Shah was extremely careful and gentle cleaning out my ears, best experience for this, for me frequent, procedure I've ever had.

Dr. Shah came into the room extremely well prepared to discuss my sinus issues and sinus history. He took time to listen and asked me a couple of times if I had any questions and is an excellent communicator. His assistant, [...], is extraordinary in how he is always professional yet has a warm, calming demeanor. Their clerical staff was welcoming and yet efficient. GREAT staff!

I was very impressed with *Dr. Shah's attentiveness to my concerns. He is the 3rd ENT I've contacted because I felt the first two weren't very interested in determining the reason for my recent hearing loss.
