Dr. Shah

"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."

"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 at the Jeffrey Carlton Heart & Vascular Center at Hoag Hospital.

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. In addition the entire staff at the Jeffrey Carlton Center and Hoag Hospital are fantastic. 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!"
