Wow he is amazing. If not for him, it would have seemed i just need to be swabbed and get results later. But something told him I should have an X-ray and thank goodness he listened. Xray showed an abnormality. CatScan recommended. He worked to keep me at radiology at the same location and it all worked out. Double pneumonia was good news as the CatScan ruled out some worse options. He kept me informed, showed me the X-rays, kept checking in with me on when results would come, explained the catscan report. He is the kind of doctor that represents you all exceedingly well.

Dr Shah listened, looked, diagnosed and then chatted about each issue individually. Told me how to manage each symptom. Verified again for me the easiest was to get my meds and waited until I was finished with all my questions before sending me on my way. Again, not a doctor who spends their entire time looking into a computer but one who pays attention to you.

Beyond my expectations, Dr. Shah fully explained without hesitation of any reasons the do’s & don’ts with respect to my complaints, clear and understandable that casts my doubt of his expertise.

I though Dr. Shah was very attentive and caring. I was really emotional when I came in and he listened and took the time to recommend labs and medication that really gave me peace. I really appreciate him!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
