Ruta M Shah is an outstanding doctor and person. It's always a pleasure to see her. I have a very, very high level of confidence in her. She's very pleasant. She's very interested in me as a patient as far as I can tell. She knows my history. She knows me as a person. She seems to care like crazy. She's just one of the very top doctors I see and I see some very good ones. Over.

I only can say good things about my experience. Everyone have been giving the best. I was one week in room patient and beginning with the housekeeper, nurses and doctors have provided an excellent atmosphere. High hospitality standards. And to be honest I didn't want to come to salem hospital. It was the best decision to put my health in the professionalism of your staff.

My family and I feel very comfortable with this doctor. She recognized that I was not recovering well and prescribed a stronger antibiotic that appears to be working much better. I have a complicated medical history and she understands my needs and is very easy to work with.

The provider was dynamite. I would recommend anybody to her. She took good care of me when I was in the hospital and great care of me when I saw her at the office last week. So, yes, she's wonderful. Thank you.
