"I had a heart valve surgery on March 24, 2025. The surgery was very successful. Thanks to Dr. Shah and his team.
Dr. Shah came to check on me while I was in the hospital. He has good bedside manner. My surgery involved aortic and mitral valves replacement, tricuspid valve repair, Maze procedure, and three other smaller procedures. From his Cardiac Surgery Operative Report, I'm impressed Dr. Shah was very meticulous about every task that needed to be done. This is a long and complicated surgery.
Dr. Shah performed an A+ job. During the surgery, Dr. Shah found a hole (atrial septal defect), likely from prior mitral valvuloplasty. He closed it as well. This was not in the original plan and I appreciate his extra effort.
I'm so glad I was in good hands. I was able to walk next day after the surgery. My recovery has been great. I'm making progress everyday. I highly recommend Dr. Shah."

"I am more than impressed by Dr. Shaw, my surgeon and the entire team. My cardiologist referred me here when she determined I needed to have the mitral valve repair. Dr. Shaw met with me personally and explained exactly what the procedure would entail and how he would prefer to do it - robotically if I would qualify. This involved getting extra diagnostics done which I was happy to do.
He also explained to me that if/when the robot is in there they have to switch and open up the sternum, I would be okay with that. He also went over the different valve replacement options which also could happen if they were not able to repair. All of this was so impressive as it managed all my expectations and took any uncertainty off the table.
All of the appointments leading up to the surgery with his team in the office were flawless and handled with compassion and knowledge. Follow up after surgery was as expected from all the pre-op appointments. Dr. Shaw visited me in the hospital and his team came in regularly.
In the 5 days I was recovering at the hospital, they checked everything leading up to the benchmarks to getting me released from the hospital in exactly the time frame they said. Post-surgery follow-up was also very proactive. The team called me to set up the appointments. I'm happy to say I just passed my 4-month post surgery appointment with flying colors and I'm now cleared for 8 months when I will have the one-year follow-up. All the post-op appointments were handled professionally and I was so impressed with how patient they were as I had a long list of questions at each of these appointments.
Lastly, but not in order of this review, was that after the surgery I had so many questions. I would call on a regular basis as I would have a pain here or there or a question regarding activity. The nurse navigator who was assigned to my case was always right on it and if she wasn't available a physician's assistant was always available to talk on the phone or return my call.
This team is absolutely "top notch" and I was lucky my cardiologist recommended them. "

"Dr. Asad Shah and team were fantastic in all respects. Consultation, pre-op, op, post-op, etc. there was an uber degree of professionalism and caring. I'm at my 7th month now and feel great. I'm very, very appreciative."

"Dr. Shah is an amazing doctor in all meanings. I could never ask for (or get) any better than him."
-- Sam Rayess, Tricuspid Valve, Valve Repair, Coronary Artery Bypass, 06/10/2024
"I had a very good experience with Dr. Shah. He was kind as well as very informative regarding the procedure.
His post-operative care was talking to my husband after the surgery as well as visiting me after the surgery in the hospital.
The care I received was exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Shah."
-- Elizabeth Ann Berbos, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, 04/22/2024
"Of course this is a major surgery and I was extremely nervous but Dr. Shah's demeanor and explaining everything fully put me at ease. Surgery was successful and the first month was a bit tough but after that I felt back to normal. I highly recommend him if you need heart surgery in this area! His staff is incredible too!"
-- Donna Voorhees, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 01/12/2024
"Working with Dr. Shah and his team was a blessing. Prior to the surgery, I had several pre-op meetings where everything was explained clearly and to my satisfaction. That really helped me to be at ease going into the operation.
The surgery itself went smoothly and while the recovery period was tough, I feel much better now and my heart feels back to normal. I'm very thankful for the positive results and to have had Dr. Shah as part of my team during this challenging period."
-- Vincent Chow, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 12/13/2023
"There are not enough words to express how wonderful Dr. Shah is. My cardiologist sent me to him because he told me that Dr. Shah had repaired the same valve prior in a few of his patients.
He told me that in his 25 years as a cardiologist, he had never seen such perfection in a repair... Mine is the same... Perfect!
In addition to the excellent repair, Dr. Shah was kind, compassionate to me and all staff. He was attentive to my needs, and available to those and when staff reached out to consult with him, even after his shift hours when needed. What a gift to those fortunate to have him for their surgery."
-- Sharon Calvo, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, 12/04/2023
"Dr. Shah is everything you want in a surgeon. He is highly professional, very intelligent, a great bedside manner and a skilled surgeon. Dr. Shah and his team spent time pre-op making sure I was a good candidate for robotic surgery and then they closely monitored after surgery recovery.
Every day had an outline of what the recovery process would be and how I could contribute to my healing. I am extremely pleased by my progress post surgery, it has been a bit overwhelming at times but I felt I was in great hands and was able to trust the process."
-- Priscilla Olsen, Mitral Valve, Tricuspid Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 12/01/2023
"Dr. Shah was very informative regarding the surgical procedure during my pre-operative visit and he was willing to answer all of my questions. My surgical results were successful."
-- Jody Levine, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 05/17/2023
"This was, by far, the best decision I have made. Dr. Shah and his staff are "World Class".
From the very first consultation, through the surgery, and the follow up, they are and continue to be the best surgical team and hospital I have ever been associated with.
The results were perfect, I look and feel better than I have in many years. Doctor Shah's bedside manner was excellent and the staff was also excellent. I highly recommend this Dr. Shah and his team without hesitation."
-- Scott Peralta, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 04/17/2023
"Dr. Shah is an outstanding surgeon and his surgical team is first-rate. My HMO surgeon gave me a not-so-great chance of successful repair. I sought out a second opinion with Dr. Shah.
Dr. Shah’s expertise, and willingness to fully discuss my condition and the possible “fixes” as well as his kindness, caring, professionalism and that of his entire staff, convinced me that Dr. Shah was the surgeon for me. I changed insurance and had surgery with Dr. Shah shortly thereafter. I had a great outcome and recovery is going well.
I am so grateful for the skills of Dr. Shah and his staff. I was treated like family by everyone I encountered during my appointments and hospital stay. I could not have asked for better, more caring, professional treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Asad Shah."

"Surgical results and bedside manner were excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Shah and his staff."
-- Kent Smith, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 08/25/2022
"The surgery performed by Dr. Shah was fully successful. He was attentive and informational in advance of the surgery and helped put me at ease. His staff was also terrific. I did have a post operative brief episode at a follow-up visit with staff where my blood pressure unexpectedly dropped. Dr. Shah immediately was called and came to my aid while keeping me calm. Terrific bedside manner. I was admitted to hospital and episode apparently in part related to my medication and possibly dehydration. The episode past and I was fine. After being admitted, Dr. Shah came to check up on me."
-- Richard Freedlander, Mitral Valve, Valve Repair, Robotic Surgery, 08/04/2022
"I had 2 valves leaking. Dr. Shah clipped repaired the mitral and replaced the tricuspid with artificial valve as it was leaking too bad. Also got a heart bypass. I was on table for about 8 hours.
The staff were all great! I was transferred to the third floor as I was recovering and as I progressed. The third floor is the physical therapy floor for all therapies to ready you for going home.
I was able to stay at the hospital and not go to another physical therapy facility. for my recovery. Dr . Shah was surprised I recovered so well and fast as I did. My incision healed so good the nurses and doctor was surprised. It's been 6 months and at end of August I was doing pretty much all of my easy chores except reaching up and lifting things over 10 pounds. Dr. Shah and all the staff are very thorough with every process for recovery and are all trained to help you recover faster I think.
I'd recommend Dr. Shah for any heart procedure and all the staff."
-- Ina Tibbs, Mitral Valve, Tricuspid Valve, Valve Replacement, 07/07/2022
"I feel lucky to have been a patient of Dr. Shah for my heart surgery. I felt like I received state-of-the-art heart surgery. Dr. Shah combines expertise and a willingness to listen and discuss. In addition, I was extremely impressed with how professional and helpful and compassionate the staff was. I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes when I arrive on time for an appointment. HIGHLY recommend."
