Review for Dr. Shah
My very first appointment, I was feeling overwhelmed and scared and just so very unsure about what was going on. He was so informative and certain. He broke things down to me at a level that anyone could understand. He made me feel comfortable and as if my cancer was not a death sentence. We laughed...
