He was knowledgeable. Let me know everything that he was getting ready to do and came and spoke with my daughter after it was over.
Dr Shah and his staff were professional, kind and caring. Nurse Cathy was very supportive, compassionate, and gentle. I am very thankful to finally get to the root of my back issue. I pray the epidural gives me relief. Thanks to all at OrthoIllinois.
Excellent care!!
I feel like he and his staff are lacking bedside manner. As I walk into the room prior to the injections not a single one of them even say hello or how are you. No talk nothing. And finally when you are done the only person that says anything is his assistant Jason. Not a word from the doctor. I don't need hand holding but it would be nice to hear something encouraging from them. It was exactly the same a few weeks ago for my first round of injections also.
Very thorough. I never felt rushed. Very good "bedside manners"
Dr. Shaw and his team were great! In fact, everyone I had contact with at Ortho Illinois has been fabulous! This practice is top notch. They run the practice like a well oiled machine. Every time I called them they answered or called me back a reasonable amount of time, I received an appointment confirmation immediately, I never had to wait more than couple minutes for my appointment once I arrived at their office, and I very doctor I saw took the time to ensure I understood my aliment and the treatment they were advising. I have a herniated disk that n my lower spine and, being unaware if what was wrong, suffered for months. One week later, after I started seeing the physicians at Ortho Illinois, I feel like a new person! Dr Shaw injected a cortisone shot yesterday, at today I work up with no pain at all! Highly Recommend this group to anyone who is suffering needlessly from undiagnosed back pain!
Dr. Shah was very personable, listened to everything I said attentively and professional.
Dr. Shah and his staff listened to my issues and made good recommendations. Highly recommend!!
He was informative and answered my wuestions
Great Doctor I recommend him!!
