What Our Clients Say

Goeffrey Willis

Dr. Shah combines expertise with empathy. We came to him needing an expedited and intuitive consult. He not only dedicated himself to helping us come to the correct decision, but showed humility as he reached out to colleagues to be sure his advice was sound. There are no words sufficient to express our gratitude for his care of my son.

Richard Palmisano

Dr. Shah was SUPER helpful and informative. He spent all the time necessary to understand my situation and condition, to explain some of the possible causes, remedies and potential results along with patiently and clearly, in understandable terms answering all of my questions and concerns. Upon leaving his office, I felt like i learned more about my situation and understood my options BETTER than i had from a combination of nearly a dozen earlier Dr appts with other providers.

Jane Callen

Dr Shah is knowledgeable and exceedingly competent. He listens well and is thoughtful and thorough, providing a high level of personal care. He also is excellent for anyone seeking to improve their sports cardio conditioning – I wish I had known him when I was training for the Boston Marathon or the Ironman! Alina is super responsive and does all the prep work (as well as some of the diagnostics) to ensure the visits run smoothly and timely. Parking is easy. The whole set-up is pleasant and quite a change from most health care providers!

BHICP

Very personalized care and attention that even though out of my insurance network I chose to pay cash as I could not pass up the rare blessing of the all around excellent service and knowledge of Dr. Shah and his wonderful assistant. Dr. Shah is a very digitally advanced doctor who was able to produce supporting required documents in a super efficient time frame.

Sally Robles

Dr. Shah has been incredible to work with! He’s calming, kind, and very knowledgeable. He has went above and beyond to help me. I love his right hand lady as well. It’s rare to find an office run so organized and helps you with every step in the way.

Lili Barouch

Dr. Shah is a fantastic sports cardiologist. He is very knowledgeable about all issues related to cardiac care for athletes and has a great bedside manner. He listened to all my concerns and symptoms in detail, and involved me in all the decisions about my heart health.

Paula Scimeca

If I could give Dr. Shah & his staff one hundred & a gold star on top of that, I would GLADLY. As a retired health professional, that says something as I have seen quite a bit in over 45 years of professional practice.

Jean Simons

After having a sudden unexpected near-heart attack, I saw Dr Shah for a second opinion and now he’s my primary cardiologist. He never assumed that because I am a 65 year old woman with heart disease, that I must also be sedentary and eat unhealthily. He sees me for who I am: an athlete who want to continue doing exercise safely. He gives really specific guidance on how much cardio and weight training is good for me and he listens really well and sits patiently answering my long list of questions. I highly recommend Dr. Shah for patients of all ages

Jason Kaplan

I highly recommend Dr. Shah. I saw several Drs before him from leading institutions and none provided the advice and wisdom (backed by testing) as Dr. Shah. He gives time, listens and is easy to talk to.

Eileen Levitt

I love Dr. Shah. He’s an amazing listener who really hears you. I don’t know where I’d be in my heart health journey without him.

M. Shealeru

Hard to express how grateful I am for Dr. Shah. I was in a time of need and he was there for me. Delivered clinical expertise in a compassionate manor.

J. Boyer

I have seen other cardiologist over my life time, but Dr. Ankit Shah is wonderful. He listens, he is compassionate, he cares about your well-being and he explains in detail about your health. I highly recommend Dr. Shah. He also has a group of amazing staff working in the office, very kind and very polite.

Julie Butler

Dr. Shah and his staff were amazing! They were able to get a appointment very quickly, and the facilities are wonderful. Dr. Shah really took the time to talk to us and was very professional. I would recommend him to everyone!

C O

Dr. Shah is extremely personable and very skilled. During my consult and cardio work up he was patient, reassuring and knowledgeable. He is able to establish trust easily and communicates clearly, answering all questions thoroughly. I highly recommend Dr. Ankit Shah.

Lisa Burkett

Great experience!! Dr. Shah is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to and he doesn’t rush you out of his office like some other doctors do! Staff is super friendly and the office is very bright and welcoming!!

David Welch

I am extremely fortunate to be under the care of Dr Shah. I feel confident in saying that there is not a better sports cardiologist in the US. Dr Shah is highly knowledgeable and takes considerable time to care for each of his patients. If you are an athlete in search of a cardiologist then look no further

U. Sagheer

Very friendly and professional staff. Dr. Shah is very professional and spent significant time explaining the differential and possible investigative workup needed for further management. Highly qualified and well rounded cardiologist.
