Zia H. Shah, MD

Numerous specialists made a diagnosis and requested I go to Shah for a simple outpatient biopsy. Shah refused and insisted on an ultrasound instead. The ultrasound was inconclusive and now I am supposed to go back again for the biopsy. He dismissed two weeks worth of diagnosing by other doctors and wasted much of our time.

Not only that, but now he's insisting that this is a complex procedure and he'll have to put me under general anesthesia when every other doctor says this is an outpatient procedure requiring only local anesthesia.

He did not sufficiently explain why he thought this was the proper course of action. In all it seemed very unprofessional. I will be contacting my M.D. for clarification and update my review accordingly.

He absolutely has no concern for his patients. I went to him for a bad throat infection caused by my cpac machine, he sent me for blood work and xray? The throat infection was very bad, with continous coughing all day long. Aftwr he got his test results, rather than calling me to tell me yes I have a throat infection which needed an antibotic to help clear he waited another week till my appointment to. Tell me and write the prescription, which made near 2 weeks of Suffering with this throat infection, coughing all the time, hard time swallowing etc. After the first appointment with Dr. SHAH I HAD TO GO TO THE WALKIN THAT SAME EVENING, THEY SUGGESTED MUSNEX AND NASAL SPRAY. USED FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK, HELPED SOME. THEN 2ND APPT. WITH SHAH WROTE ANTIBOTIC. THIS DID MAKE IT GO AWAY, BUT IT TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO FULLY GO AWAY. ALL THE TIME I WAS SICK I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY CPAC MACHINE!
CPAC MACHINE- BEEN WITHOUT FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS BETWEEN BEING SICK, AND NEW MACHINES THAT DID NOT HEAT UP! Lourdes Support telling me they were fine until I dropped off the entire cpac system and distilled water for them to actually use to prove they were blowing cold air. But the way I got that throat infection because the cpac machine blew cold air into my throat for a week before I realized I had a problem. Well, I haven't slept well in nearly 2 months, They ordered me a new cpac machine from a new mfg. And Dr. Shah will not give the prescripton for this new machine. What is wrong with him? Uncaring!!!!
