"The presence of the Doctor is the beginning of the cure".
This holds so true for Dr. Aashish Shah. Having suffered pain in my abdomen (due to gall stones) from quite some time, all I wanted was some permanent fix and was recommended cholecystecyomy. All my pre surgery apprehensions and anxiety were tucked away ever so gently by this unassuming, soft spoken n able handed Doc.
Some people are like your guardian angels and I most definitely count Dr.Shah as one in my life. Post surgery follow ups were done timely and I walked out healthier n happier...
Thank you Doc.

My son had under gone Pilonidal Sinus Surgery (Laser) in RV Aster Hospital about 5 months back. The problem again resurfaced after 3 months and we met the same doctor 3 - 4 times as there was discharge but he insisted that we meet a Skin Specialist and its a skin related issue.

Visited For Intestine Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Absolutely Amazing doctor. He Has given a new lease of life to my dad who had a huge tumour in his descending colon. Given his health complications , age and the delay in getting it detected in Kolkata we had very slim hope. Today my dad is alive and well after 3 complicated surgeries, just because of Dr. Aashish. No words enough to describe his capability.
Visited For Gastritis
Doctor understand my problem and given correct treatment. I suggest everybody who have problem related to gastroenterology can reach to him. However in fortis hospital although we book appointment using practo again we need to undergo registration via coupon procedure in hospital so which consumes max 30 min time. I still didn't understand what is the purpose of taking appointment in advance if they are not giving any priority for doctor consultation.
