Rupal Shah, MD

As a resident physician (earned my MD from a top U.S. medical school), I would highly recommend you not surrender your primary healthcare services to Dr. Shah. Any physician can readily and confidently tell you that she is not a patient advocate (which is the key service of a primary care physician). She has blatantly lied about referral submission for my mom’s post-​operative care (she informed my mom that insurance did not approve her referral when I had talked independently with the insurance company who stated she failed to submit an adequate referral request by neglecting to assign a CPT code). She also does not practice good medicine (fails to provide basic assessment and management for patients – I was a patient of hers in the past). She uses her practice to pay her bills, not to heal patients.
DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR HEALTH TO THIS PHYSICIAN.
**Update: I was informed by my mother’s insurance company that her referral request was approved. Dr. Shah blatantly lied to us about the request being denied. Find a physician who at least won’t jeopardize your health.

I would not advise any female to go to Dr. Shah. I recently moved from across the country and with my new insurance, I decided to give her a try since she was close to my house. I do have to start by saying that the front desk staff was very friendly, and for that I give a lot of credit. The office itself is very outdated. I did not feel as if the office was a particularly «clean» environment, especially for a physicians office. There was dust in the corners, and the rooms were very dimly lit. I first went for a consultation, which lasted a total of 5 minutes. I had some specific concerns and was actually laughed at for asking questions. After the very short consultation I was asked to come back for my PAP. The only positive about the exam was that it was so short that I hardly knew it had happened – with the exception I was so concerned. The exam light looked like it came from an old dorm room (Again, noting the outdated office). I never received any results. A month later I asked to have a prescription filled, which should have been no problem since I had already received my PAP with her. I was asked to schedule another appointment for an exam.
At that point I decided to try another doctor, and my experience was a million times better at the new office. The doctor saw me and was willing to perform an exam the same day for no extra charge. I would not recommend Dr. Shah to anyone.

This doctor does not even deserve a one star. I took my daughter here because she had sudden ear loss. There was no one in the lobby waiting for their appointment when I got there but i still had to wait over 30 minutes to go into a room. One of the staff took my daughter’s height and weight and then we waited another 30 minutes in the room. When Shah FINALLY came into our room she looked into my daughter’s ear, claimed it was an «ear infection», prescribed us antibiotics and left. Did not explain one single thing to us, was fairly rude, and left within 5 minutes after she came in. A week later my daughter did not get any better from the medication she prescribed, we went to a specialist to find out it was NOT an ear infection, but something way more serious. She did not know what she was talking about and acted like it was no big deal when actually my daughter may lose her hearing forever. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND OVER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. 0 STARS.

I am not happy with Dr. Shah :(and I’m currently in the process of trying to find another primary care physician, not only for myself but for my mom as well, since she has the same doctor. The girls who work in her office are always very sweet and courteous, but Dr. Shah herself wouldn’t even sit down to discuss my health concerns. I would definitely not recommend this doctor to anyone… I think as a patient, I at least deserve someone who is willing to dedicate a few minutes of her time to talk abouth my health.
I’m a brand new nurse, and I understand that doctors are very busy professionals, but I don’t think patients should be treated with such little regard…
She has denied that I needed a referral to see an OB-​GYN when I specifically was told that I needed one. I just recently went in for a referral to see an orthopedist after I fractured my ankle, and she didn’t even bother to examine it. She denied my mother blood pressure medications that she needs to prevent a second heart attack.
…These are a few of the many reasons I am upset with this doctor. Stay away if you can.

The staff at this office is incredibly sweet, front desk has always been helpful and has treated me with so much kindness. That is the only reason why i can give this place 1 star. The several times that i have been here Dr. Shah has treated me like i am on an assembly line. She rushes through the visit regardless if you had an appointment.
2 previous Doctors had advised me to get an ultrasound of a lump on my lower back, i finally was able to get insurance and i had to beg Dr. Shah to refer me so i could get this done. She insisted that there was no way that i could get an ultrasound on my back.
Over all, Dr Shah is not a good doctor in my opinion at all. Definitely do not recommend.

First visit with dr. Shah today and they overcharged my visit so now I have to wait 6 months or longer to see that money back from the insurance company. I had an appointment yet was seen in a rush and wasn’t listened to. Her way of dealing with everything is by medication. I asked if she could do the papsmear I was told would be done that day and she said she had patients waiting and to schedule another appointment. She had me out of there in a rush and I will not be returning.

I’ve been going to Shah for years. She is a no nonsense doctor. She will talk with you and discuss what is bothering you. Takes most insurances. There is a $.50 fee to pay your co-​pay with a credit card. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is willing to use good health standards, exercise and diet to help your health before automatically putting you on meds. They are updating their medical software and now add a image to your profile. I believe they are remodeling the bathroom. The lounge is a bit dated in the office. There is a flat screen but has been either down or off in my last two of three visits.
