Patient Experience
The gallbladder surgery was my first, so I was pretty nervous. Recovery was tough the first couple days, but Dr. Shah's team had a clear plan for the pain. She checked on me every morning, adjusted my meds so I could actually get up and walk a bit. It wasn't magic, it still hurt, but it felt managed. She explained what was normal soreness and what wasn't, which stopped me from worrying over every little twinge. I'm home now and getting better each day.
Appendicitis. Came in through emergency. Dr. Shah saw me quickly, confirmed it needed to come out. Surgery was straightforward. She was clear, no-nonsense, answered my questions directly. Follow-up was efficient. Got the stitches out on time. Job done.
I had my hernia operation with Dr. Shah. She has a very calm way about her. When I was anxious before the procedure, she just listened and explained things again, very gently. The hospital was busy, but she never made me feel rushed. Her instructions for aftercare were simple to follow. I felt well looked after.
What a relief! I'd been putting off this procedure for ages, just scared of the whole thing. From the first consultation, Dr. Shah made it seem manageable. The surgery itself went fine, and when I woke up, the pain was nothing like I'd built up in my head. She came by with a big smile, told me everything went perfectly. I'm so glad it's over and I feel fantastic. Really, just a huge weight off my shoulders.
