Excellent!

by sashay125

I am a new patient. i came with shorts and a tanktop so she could see my skin. i checked out okay. i think the visit was pretty lighthearted. i found them all to enjoy being there. I was told to buy a cream but i didn't purchase it because of cost. i've read the other reviews, just because it's prescribed that doesn't mean you have to get it. it wont get better however. to the comment below, remember she is the one who went to med school. NOT you. If she says it's okay, it probably is.

• Pros: Efficent getting in and out
• Cons: scheduling

Didn't get a thorough exam...

by duffymo

I've seen Dr. Shah twice, two years apart, for routine "mole screenings", because I have a family history of skin cancer and have had skin cancer myself (basal cell). On both visits, I felt Dr. Shah did a very cursory exam. After the first time this happened, I felt a little shell-shocked and decided that I'd be more forceful the next time. But I recently had the second exam, and was this time even more disappointed. For example, I was wearing jeans, and although she pulled up the bottom part of my jeans to examine my calves, she never saw the top of my legs! And what about the top of my head? Or my buttocks? When I go in for a comprehensive mole check, I expect all areas of my body to be examined, not just a few. All the while, she kept repeating that she "wasn't concerned at all". Well, it's not about HER being concerned! I'm the patient!

I won't be giving Dr. Shah another chance, I'm afraid. I've gotten the feeling she likes working a few hours a week and driving her little sports car...

• Pros: Dr.'s personality seems sweet and helpful at first...
• Cons: But then she becomes condescending.

I had a bad experience with this Dr Shah-Sheth. The Dr. would not listen to my thoughts and ideas as to what the problem may be, and even after stating that I had concerns about steriod based creams, prescribed one for me. Then has you purchase these really expensive creams at the counter that you can buy at Walgreens for half the cost. I do NOT recommend this office for anyone needing a dermatologist.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: nickles and dimes you to death
