Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2025
I injured my knee playing soccer. My coach and some of my teammates wives recommended Dr. Shah as this is one of his expert areas. Diagnosis was a acl injury and a cartilage injury. He surgically repaired everything and while still doing rehab I feel great 6 weeks after surgery. Looking forward to getting back out on the pitch soon with my mates. He was excellent and a great bedside matter and explained the procedure and recovery steps needed to get back to playing soccer. He and his staff are excellent. Great hands this guy.
