Patient Stories for Dr. Shashank Shah
I visited Dr Shashank Shah for the treatment of my giant surgical hernias, I thought I had 2 of them,The way I found Dr Shashank Shah was Google, and I am glad I did!From day 1 I have felt care at this institution, all the staff always had a genuine smile and sentiment (duty /responsibility) of care in them. This is percolated from Dr Shashank himself and penetrates till the level of the security guard and reception staff, nurses, support staff, junior doctor's, senior doctor's and even the accounts department 😁 who greet you with a smile.I am a liver transplant patient so I am immunocompromised. There is special care to be taken with immune compromised patients! I also don't have medical insurance. So my surgery was self financed. during surgery it was discovered that there were actually 5 hernias Dr Shashank Shah gave me a reasonable quotation and stuck to it! No needless paraphernalia was added, no escalation in bill amount even after discovery of additional work! 👍 This is something that I find really admirable 👌 a doctor who is focused on the care of their patient first and money later
Visited For Obesity Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
I met Dr. Shashank Shah a few days ago for the treatment of my 14-year-old son, Mohammad, who suffers from obesity, and his weight is 137 kg. Dr. Shah listened to us carefully and explained the method of treatment. We found him a skilled surgeon with a kind and humble heart. He did sleeve gastrectomy for my son two days ago, and my son came out walking from OT to the IPD. I am very happy with the services we received from Dr. Shashank Shah and his distinguished surgical and nursing staff. We wish him all the best and success.

** ******** **** ** *** **** ******* *** ****** **** ****** ** ***********. I got treated at LOC by Dr Shashank Shah .
I must tell you all that he is the most humble, down to earth, ************* ****** I have ever met. He explains everything in detail regarding disease and its possible treatment.
He clarifies all queries in detail which nobody did when I met few doctors. Hospital has an experienced team ,neat and tidy environment,they will never let you feel that you are hospitalized.
I was 138 kgs and now I have lost around 52kgs in last 11 months.
I wanna thank Dr shah for giving me this lost happiness and confidence in my life.
