Patient Reviews
Jun 23, 2022
Dr Shah did strabismus surgery to correct double vision resulting from Sixth Nerve Palsy. I switched to Dr Shah after wearing an eye patch for more than 6 mos under the care of another ophthalmologist. Turned out great. He has an excellent patient-focused approach and gives you the time you need, answering all questions thoroughly.
