Dr. Shah is consistantly listed in The Best Doctors In America list for his talents as an outstanding viteoretinal diseases specialist.  His upbeat personality make his the perfect doctor for people who are depressed because they are concerned that they might lose part of their vision.   I have macular degeneration that started out as a dry form then changed to wet, but because of his monitoring my condition, he was able to restore my sight when it became more serious.  His skill as an outstanding retina specialist restored my vision!  I owe him a very important part of my life.  He restored my sight!   Thank you Dr. Shah!!!!
