About Sonal J Shah

Dr. Shah is an east coast native, originally from Long Island NY, and has lived in Chicago and Seattle. She completed both undergraduate and medical school at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL and went on to do her Internal Medicine training at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA.

Dr. Shah began her career working with inpatients at academic medical centers in both WA and MA.

    Dr. Shah is an excellent doctor. She listens and seeks out ways to address your medical concerns. On this last visit, it was a little rushed towards the end of the visit. I would have liked to discuss a little more with her what could be causing the pain issue. Otherwise, Dr. Shah is a great and I can talk with her about my medical issues. I admire her abilities and respect her as my doctor.

    Dr. Shah is a compassionate physician that is very responsive to any concerns, and simplifies the complex. I am fortunate that she is my primary care physician.

    My care provider is great. I think she's just a little younger and it would be great if, for example, your departments were all to sit and communicate a little bit more integrated so that you can bring in and support younger doctors in your practice.

    I appreciate the organization of the office, the bright and friendly people, the professionalism, the ability to send in questions and the timeliness of the response. There is a real benefit to going carefully through all the questions annually as it pulls the big picture together and prompts one to take care of tests that have been put off.

    She was covering for my usual primary care doc who didn't have any appointments available (and I felt too crummy to wait). Dr Shah did speak with my PCP and got some of my history. She listened carefully to me and I in no way felt that my symptoms were being dismissed.
