What Patients Say About Dr. Shah
"This practice is what service and standards should be about. From the initial call to the visit with the Dr. the entire team was friendly, pleasant, detailed and the medical evaluation informative . Dr Shah has possibly the best chair side manner I've ever experienced. His attention to detail and willingness to review and explain every detail in terms you understand is rare in today's medical practices . It's a high tech practice with old school philosophies. Strongly recommend the SJ Periodontics Team." - J.E., 3/10/16
"I'm a bit dental-phobic and was apprehensive about first visit. Dr. S. and his team inspired total comfort + confidence. All steps were explained as they occurred, and services were rendered in top-notch professional fashion. I felt empowered by this treatment, instead of afraid. Thank you!" -Carol R., 2/21/16

Dr. Shah ("please call me Samir") is genuinely concerned with the health of his patients. It's unmistakable by the way he talks to you and listens to you." Christine C., 2/3/16
