Ankur G. Shah, MD

Dr Shah is one of the kindest doctors I have ever encountered. He has treated my mother for many years . Unfortunately my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer , and she was no longer under Dr Shah's primary care, but the amount of support that my mother has received from him is something I will never forget for my entire life . Dr Shah cares about people , and my mother would still put calls into him and go to office visits for some issues that were non cancer related . I saw Dr Shah and personally thanked him when my mother was in Abington Hospital, but it was important for me to put this review up , and recognize him for not just being an excellent doctor , but an amazing human being . Thank you Dr. Shah from the bottom of my heart for being so kind to my mother . You helped bring her peace during this awful time in our life.

Have seen him for emergency visit as well as normal sinus issues. Both times he did not bother to listen to me nor did he seem to remotely familiarize himself with my chart. In the emergent situation he point blank told me (in front of his residents) that I did not have a specific disorder and did not bother to even consider it. A week later my hematologist confirmed that the initial diagnosis that Dr. Ankur Shah flat out denied and refused to consider was indeed the disorder I was suffering from. He is arrogant and rude at times and will ignore what a patient is saying even if that person is also a medical professional who knows their own body. He never apologized even though he could have listened to me or simply read my chart and prevented years of medical therapy. There are plenty of other physicians with better bedside manner to see instead. I will not ever see him again, I have already refused service when he is the only available physician.

Dr. Ankur Shah is an excellent internist. He is extremely attentive, very personable, very knowledgeable and thorough. He takes time with each patient, addressing issues of concern. His staff is courteous and efficient as well. He returns calls, by the end of the business day. It is rare to find a physician of his caliber in today's times. My spouse and I highly recommend him as a PCP.

Came in for a strange reoccurring sickness I've been having. Did not even care to ask why I had scheduled an appointment upon arrival. Immediately once he found out I was on a general anxiety medication, he started diagnosing my symptoms as "stress" or "anxiousness". As a young healthy woman (who had a grip on my mental health), I can understand as to why some may not take me seriously in some situations, but when it comes to my medical health and status, I would like a doctor who at least listens to me. I left the office feeling embarrassed after no longer than a 20 minute appointment with him. I will not be returning and would discourage anyone who is young to stay away from Dr. Shah.

DR Shah is my primary physician. He is excellent. He always spend some time explaining details. Never rushes the evaluation.
