My father was admitted with a severe infection. The whole family was scared, honestly. Dr. Shah didn't just talk to us; he listened. He explained everything in simple terms, what the treatment was, what could happen next. He was there late, checking in. It made a world of difference when you feel like someone is truly with you in it. Dad's home now, recovering well.

Took my wife in for what we thought was a routine check-up. Dr. Shah found something that needed immediate attention. No sugar-coating, just clear facts and a direct plan. He answered every one of my blunt questions without making me feel rushed. The parking at Lilavati was a nightmare that day, but his calm, no-nonsense approach cut through all that noise. We got the surgery done, and she's fine. He's a good doctor.

He took his time, went through all the possibilities. It turned out to be something simple, but the way he handled our anxiety... we felt heard and cared for. It meant everything.

After weeks of confusing symptoms and feeling awful, my sister saw Dr. Shah. He figured it out in one consultation! I was with her, and we both just felt this huge wave of relief. He was so thorough, asked questions no one else had. His energy was positive and confident, which we really needed. The hospital itself is busy, but he made the experience focused and effective. She's on the mend and finally has answers!
