Biography
Dr. Jay Shah, MD currently serves as Chief of the Medical Staff for Stanford Health Care. He is a cancer surgeon and associate professor of Urology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His clinical focus is on bladder cancer, and he is well known for his expertise in robotic surgery. His academic interests center on optimizing outcomes after bladder removal surgery. He is very active in leadership development, team building, and quality improvement work and he lectures nationally and internationally on these topics. He is also certified by the International Coaching Federation as an executive coach.
Dr. Shah graduated from Harvard College, and he completed medical school and urology residency training at Columbia University. During his time at Columbia, Dr. Shah was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society; he was named Physician of the Year by the nursing staff; and he was recognized by the medical students with the Gold Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award. After residency, he completed a three-year fellowship in Urologic Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center and then joined the faculty there. During his time at MD Anderson, Dr. Shah launched the bladder cancer robotics program, developed an enhanced recovery program for patients undergoing bladder removal surgery, became double board-certified in Urology and Medical Quality, and was chosen to lead the MDACC Genitourinary Center as Center Medical Director.
In his free time, Dr. Shah enjoys reading, cooking, and exploring the beaches of Northern California with his family and three dogs.
In his free time, Dr. Shah enjoys reading, cooking, surfing, hiking and exploring the beaches of Northern California in his Jeep Wrangler with his family and 2 dogs.

Fantastic clinician and human being
Love my doctor
I am thrilled to be a new patient of his, at the oncology clinic in Campbell/San Jose.
Fabulous Doctor, kind and caring very encouraging.
He is always helpful, and I know I can trust his recommendations.
Very thorough physician, looking for the best outcome for his patients.
Dr Shah provides excellent care
He is thoughtful, kind, and more than competent. He keeps me in the loop with explanations I can understand. He makes me feel as if I am part of the team. I know I can be a difficult patient at times and he just gently moves right around those moments and helps me understand another possibility. It's not a common thing to have confidence in your doctor these days, but with Dr Shah I am more than confident putting my life in his hands.
Forthright, competent, communicative.
The whole team was incredible, from check-in, to the MA who roomed me, to Stacy his nurse who checked in on me and made sure I was okay for my procedure. Dr Shah was very kind and reassuring. My appointment went smoothly and efficiently, and still I felt extremely cared for.
Very kind voice and attitude. Felt very secure about the road ahead. For someone as myself who has not had any real tough medical situation in my whole life I feel confident with Dr. Shah and the team. Thank you.

He was friendly, attentive and clear in his explanations. he patiently answered our questions. My wife was on the call also. It was important to find out that he has a close working relationship with my urologist, Dr. Craig Stauffer at Montage Medical Health in Monterey. Dr. Shah provided the second opinion. It was reassuring that he agreed with the diagnosis and the treatment plan proposed by Dr. Stauffer.
Service was exceptional!
Professional empathetic
Dr. Shah and his staff are excellent and have great customer service skills. They are very humbled to this situation as it is hard and confusing with all the terminology.

Everything was excellent during the video visit with Dr.Shah
He is a very nice kind doctor he speak Spanish and English Making sure my mom and me got all the details and all the Answers.
It was an honor And pleasure to meet doctor Jay S.
He and his staff were very clear and concise with a course of treatment moving forward
very professional
He clearly explained the upcoming procedure and I felt he genuinely cared about my mother’s well being.
Even after meeting Dr. Shah for the first time on a video conference call,
I felt that he took a personal interest in my welfare and that I have complete confidence that he will take care of me.
He was very interested in hearing about me and my involvements in the community and volunteer work. Very caring and concerned. He was very easy to communicate with. a very complete Dr. visit.
Dr. Shah's Fellow talked with me first, shortly after I came online. He was excellent, gave me an insightful and clear view of my situation, and answered all of my questions beyond my satisfaction. I didn't think anybody could top that, but when Dr. Shah came on, he added even more insight and clarity to my understanding. Nurse Stacy was similarly clear and thorough in explaining specifics about my surgery and answering my questions. It's obvious that this is an impeccable and coordinated team who have all the factors of my situation in view.
Very professional demeanor and explained things in a way that help put our mind at ease over the future of my treatment.
Best beside manner! Even under these circumstances we managed to laugh and joke. He put me completely at ease with the process and the prognosis. I just told my daughter this was the best doctor visit I’ve ever had, which seems odd, considering it’s the most serious diagnosis I’ve ever had.
Best Dr. ever.
Great interview! Dr. Jay was very personable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with.
Dr. Shah was very thorough and understanding.

My doctor, Doctor Shah Jay is the best doctor, the most professional, and kind. He saved my life!!!!
It doesn't get any better
Dr. Jay Shah was very caring & gave us valuable information. He was terrific.
Thanks Dr. Shah.
Always good experience.
Shah is a very easy to talk to dr. and the nurse helper made it fun by taking my mind off of the test I underwent.
Dr. Shah was one of the kindest Doctor"s that I have ever met. He has a very good bedside manner.
Over the time I have been seeing him, Dr. Shah has improved greatly in terms of all of the above & I have confidence in him.
Dr. Shah, Jay Bajul is the best doctor in the world. He is very professional, kind, polite, he is the best surgeon, Dr. Shah is saving my life, I trust him a lot (please, let him know about it).
Doctor didn't spend much time with me. Seemed to be very busy. I'd like a more personal attitude.
The doctor spent more time with me than during past visits & I rate him higher--very much improved.
My Doctor Shah Jay Bakul is the next wonder in the world!!!
I felt like the appointment was rushed. I didn't have many questions & he answered the ones I had. The main problem was he mentioned types of future treatments for my cancer & at the end casually mentioned the organ might have to be surgically removed if treatment wasn't effective. This was a big deal to me, but it didn't seem to be to him & I didn't feel like he was concerned. I think he should have followed through better with this--it was new information for us & we were kind of thrown--didn't know what questions to ask.
Both Dr. Shah & the PA (sorry I forgot her name) were OFF the charts in terms of approach, information, efficiency & advice.
Doctor Jay Shah is the best surgeon in the world!!!
Appreciated the doctor speaking directly with my dad. He was straightforward and considerate. We feel very confident in his care.
Very good!
Dr. Shah and Melda area a great team. A class act, I felt so much better about myself.
