Dr. Samir D. Shah, MD 123 Newton Sparta Road, Newton, NJ 07860

"This place does not care about you or the severity of your condition. My husband went there after a hospitalization and complaints of an inability to breath. They did a breathing test, said he was fine and wanted to send him on his way, with a follow up in 6 months. I insisted on a sleep test. After several months of repeated phone calls and inquiries as to the status of the breathing test, my husband had a stroke (which was determined to be the result of severe sleep apnea). Despite repeatedly calling again for a sleep test, it was nearly three weeks later that I finally spoke with someone that gave me a direct phone number for the sleep study. They rushed the test. After the test was complete, this establishment insisted they didn’t have the results and nearly another 2 weeks passed before the suddenly found the results; and, would entertain scheduling an appointment- an appointment that was nearly one month out! I called a new referral who immediately addressed the severity of my husband’s condition; but, only after it had to hound this establishment for my husband’s test results! Do NOT go here!!! They are either too just or just don’t care. Either way, their lack of care could have been detrimental to my husband’s life!"

"Dr. Shah took the time to put me at ease and explain my options to help me make an important health decision."

"Tim had multiple appointments with him and he misdiagnosed him. Told him to use an inhaler and he ended up with ammonia in the emergency room. DR. SHAH was so arrogant and doesn't listen to his patients. He talks to them condescending. Tim ended up with ammonia and bronchitis because of this guy's lack of listening or caring. No follow-up from the office. If you want to get healthy don't go there. If I could give him less than 1* I would. He shouldn't be able to practice medicine."

"My consultation for sleep apnea was perfect. Dr Shah was thorough in assessing the symptoms and explaining why this problem should be addressed. He was friendly and personable and encouraged me to contact him if I needed to."

"He completely misdiagnosed me, my lungs are messed up because he doesn't listen, very arrogant and follows his own agenda...got another pulmonologist and ended up in NY city at Mt Sinai and than too Boston where I had to under go a 9 hour surgery to sew mesh in my bronchial tube and trachea. I tried to tell him my past history and he ignored it, he put me to sleep for bronscopy when Mt Sinai says you never do that...he basically ruined my quality of life because he pushed pills and I followed his agenda. I am writing this for my husband because I live with his illness every single day and watch him struggle to breath...James Snook is my husband. So sad he couldn't listen to his patient!!!"
