Dr Shah performed surgery on my daughter when she was 10 and broke her finger requiring wires and screws to correct. It was an excellent experience for our family in every way. Dr. Shah is a highly skilled hand surgeon. We are now seeing Dr. Shah for an issue with her knees--she won't see anybody else and I agree!
