Unlike many reviews, I met Dr. Shah and he is extremely knowledgeable on the field of knee replacement, patient and not once did I feel like I was rushed. As a matter of fact he gave my husband and myself his cell phone number and asked to please call him if I had additional questions. I am considering him for a knee replacement.

I wish I had read these reviews before visiting Dr Shah! Mandatory X-rays before seeing him, he came in for 2 mins and said I need MRI asap. At the next appointment came in for "2 mins" and said I had a tear -get therapy.Finally I was left with an intern who had no clue which brace would fit my injured knee. Completely disappointed with Dr shah and I have reached out to my physician for a 2nd opinion.

I have been reading the few unsatisfactory reviews, I can only tell you about my wonderful experience. Dr. Shah operated on my right hip in August 2017 and my left 5 moths later. I was driving in less than 3 wks, without any pain whatsoever. On my 2nd hip I never have taken any pain meds because I feel great. Does it matter how long he schmoozes or how great is the outcome. I was recommended by my PT whose sister lives in Brooklyn and had 2 hips replaced and her recovery was also great.

I had a very good experience at Englewood Ortho when Dr. Becker provided care for my fx ankle so I felt confident scheduling an appt with Dr. Shah for knee pain. He barely spoke to me and did not ask me any questions about my knee pain he just sent me for Xrays; I had to wait 1/2 hour. He then informed me that nothing was broken. He briefly looked at and touched my knee and said I should get an MRI. Then he left the room and just left a prescript. Please note never washed his hands.

He never even met me before surgery or spoke to any one of my family or myself after surgery. I do not know what he looks like. Called several times and his nurses came once to rehab to take out my stitches. Not only is he "Casper the ghost" he shouldn't call himself a professional. Shame on you Dr. Shah!

If you want to feel like a piece of cattle with an extremely tired vet branding you then this is the place for you! Otherwise, stay far, far away!

X-rays of my knee were taken before I saw the doctor. About 10 minutes later he came to see me. I told him I was having knee pain and said the X-rays showed nothing and I need an MRI. He spent less than two minutes with me. He never looked at my knee or asked me any questions. He was gone in a flash and really didn't seem interested in helping me. Next step is an MRI next week and follow-up appt the next week. So that means two more weeks in pain.

I have numbness and tingling in left arm and leg. They took many xrays (i brought my previous xrays. they said my xrays are blurry !!) He spent under 2 minutes with me. Did not ask many questions. Did not examine me. Told me everything seems ok. After i persisted how could be ok if i am getting numbness and tingling, he told me to see a rheumatologist ! Do not waste money and time. Waiting area is small, cramped and full of chairs. Patient comfort not in mind. They do not answer calls.
