Dr. Shah was an amazing provider during our e-visit. He took the time to listen to my concerns, so I felt heard. He explained things clearly and fully and was very friendly and warm in his demeanor.
Dr. Shah and his entire team consistently provides the most compassionate and professional medical care.
Dr. Nishant Shah is one of the best doctors I've ever seen. He is kind, thoughtful, thorough and compassionate. He is highly knowledgeable.
One of the best doctors I have ever visited Dr. Nishant Shah.
Dr. Shah spent the time with us to explain all options which we very much appreciated.
Dr Shah is always kind and friendly and very responsive to my questions and concerns about my son's health during our visits.
Dr. Shah is amazing. we cannot day enough good things. He is is an expert yet explains everything in ways we can understand. His bedside manner is fantastic and we feel extremely comfortable with him. There is no one better than Dr. Shah for our daughter.
I love our Dr. I do not like the taxing system that Lutheran general uses to contact a physician/ nurse when you need to communicate something with them. It is extremely tedious. If you have a simple question about medication, or are trying to call the office back, you must go through a middle man who often knows nothing about health care and can only reiterate a simple message. by the time they get someone to call you back (sometimes hours later), you are no longer able to answer your phone, miss the call, and the process begins again.
Your EEG technician is fabulous. Also, the system that allows you to get a 7am EEG and then immediately see the Dr. to discuss the result is brilliant. These are the reasons we left Lurie Children's and never looked back.
fantastic
I have no negative comments regarding Dr. Shah. He has always been respectful & thorough & pleasant & accommodating.
Clerk/reception @ time of visit was very unfriendly & did not communicate well. I never knew if we were finished & had to always ask.
The staff and doctor were wonderful, they put us at ease during a tough time.
My only issue with the office is that I don't have a direct number to reach them at, I always have to go through the main system prompts and I wish I could call them directly

Loved working with him. He stopped, listened, reflected on what we said verbally paraphrasing it and asking if he understood correctly. He was great - He did apologize for being late. I didn't mind a bit.
