Texas Colon & Rectal Specialists-Austin Central

"Sadly, Dr Shah seemed nice enough within practice, but the aftercare, billing and post procedure service was extremely poor. Numerous calls and emails not responded too. I would not recommend them."

"When surgery and Dr Cline was recommended, it was the last thing I wanted to do. After my first consultation appointment, he answered many questions and after the second consultation if was very comfortable. Post surgery I did have a complication that set me back about a week but all in all, a year later I am very happy that he was my surgeon. Follow up appointments can be challenging but that seems mainly due surgery’s running long. My suggestion is book office appointments later in the day to help avoid delays or cancellations."

"Very disappointed. My appointments have always been 45+ minutes late and I usually get just a 5-10 minute convo with Dr. Fox whose bedside manner is, 'I'm really busy so I'll explain this quickly and don't ask questions because I don't have time.' Her nurse/assistant also told me not to worry about whether a lab was out of network with my insurance because it "usually isn't too much" but the quote I got from the lab was around $1,000. When I called to ask for options, I didn't hear back for a week so I called again and they said they didn't really know how to help me but they'd look into it. It's been three weeks and I've had no response despite numerous calls to their office in the last week trying to get the nurse on the line. Extremely unprofessional."

"Dr. Shah was quick and thorough through my check up and made sure to answer any questions I had. He shared his knowledge on how to approach home care very well and was not quick to recommend surgery unless needed. Very pleased with his experience and professionalism."

"I had a previous laparoscopic procedure, by another surgeon, prior to meeting Dr. Shah. The comparison of my recovery between the two surgeries was like night and day. It was a virtually pain-free experience with Dr. Shah; some minor soreness was all I felt. That was not the case with my previous surgery. I was in pretty severe pain during recovery. Out of the 12 lymph nodes needed by my oncologist from my colectomy, Dr. Shah removed 69. My oncologist said that the procedure could not have gone more perfectly. He was thorough in his explanation of the procedure during our office consultation. His staff were wonderful and they scheduled my surgery as I was leaving his office. He was attentive during the post-op care while I was in the hospital and that has continued after I was released. Hopefully if I ever need another surgery in the future, Dr. Shah would be willing to handle it; I would travel out of state to be in his care. I highly recommend him."
