Trusted, Proven

My Muscle Wall Gave Way Giving my Abdomen an Unsightly Large Buldge - Denver, CO - I met Dr Shah in 2007 when he did a face lift for me. I was really happy with the results. When I found out no amount of diet and exercise would remedy the problem with my abdomen I contacted him. and even through I no longer live in Colorado, I knew he was the doctor I wanted to perform my surgery.I am a little over four weeks after surgery and I am thrilled with the results. I am 66 years old and healing well and now I have the tummy I have dreamed of having.Thank you Dr Shah I appreciate your skill and care!

My experience was not very good. I felt rush during my procedure. Their bedside manners where very bad. I left with pain on my face, because the botox was applied very rough. I have had botox in the past so I know the procedure. Also, Their office staff do not return phone calls, which is very annoying and lack of customer service.

Super happy with my results and had a wonderful experience - Dr. Shah is an amazing surgeon who really takes time to explain procedures, customize a plan, and work with you to get your best result. Dr. Shah performed a revision chin lipo on me from a previous surgeon and exceeded my expectations. He even did a revision on an obvious scar from my first surgery, and now my new scar isn’t even visible. I’m super happy with my results and had a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be going to him if I need anything done in the future and would highly recommend!
