Rina Shah is a good doctor. She’s the first doctor I had that suggested a vitamin D test. I had never had one in my entire life because I didn’t know to ask for one and Past doctors never suggested it. Turned out I was extremely deficient and have since learned how important optima levels are for our health. I wish this test was part of standard bloodwork offered by all doctors and not something we have to know to ask for.
Dr. Shah is a very knowledgeable doctor. She has helped me to stay healthy and may have saved me from terrible health in the future. I can see & understand why so many people request her.

Dr. Shah is an excellent doctor. I feel she really cares about me, and she is thoughtful and kind. I am so grateful she is my doctor. I trust her.
I had transferred my PCP to Dr. Shah as the care from my prior PCP was poor. As a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, I was very pleased with Dr. Shah. She asked me questions and then looked at me when I answered as opposed to just telling me what to do and not listening to my answers ie. diet and exercise. I maintain a healthy diet and exercise on a daily basis but this was never acknowledged by my prior PCP. Dr. Shah did acknowledge my lifestyle. I have minimal healthcare concerns and only have an annual weexam but I’m glad I transferred my care to her
Dr. Shah is always caring and informative. No complaints whatsoever!
Dr. Shah is kind and listens well.
Did a great job.

Dr. Shah is a most excellent doctor and listener. I was leary at first, after being with Dr. Broad for so long and switching to someone young enough to be my daughter. Dr. Shah may roll her eyes on this. But the only way she is going to get rid of me, is if i die.

She is the best! Always been there for me .Thank you Dr.Shah. Happy Née Year
Dr. Shah seemed rather detached, low energy, and impersonable -- she was looking down at my chart and seemed to be checking boxes rather than actively engaged and attempting to learn more about me as a patient and my concerns. Her responses were brief and she did not ask follow-up questions, ask if I had any questions, or explain much about why she felt treatments were necessary. Maybe it was an off morning for her. I am wanting to establish care with a PCP, but as a first impression, due to her seemingly low interest in me as a patient I don't feel very comfortable with her as my primary care.
she's a lovely woman who has been caring for my family for awhile
Felt very comfortable with Dr Shah

I love Dr Shah! She listens and
Thank you for your help!
I love Rina Shah. She always expresses concern and sympathy. I never feel rushed, and so I understand when she is running late. I know that she will give me my time as she does with all patients. I do appreciate the notifications that the call is running late with an anticipated time (same as when in the office). Note: I had one incident with another doctor at another practice and when I mentioned something that I hadn't originally mentioned as the reason for my visit, the Dr. actually yelled at me. Most likely because she was running short of time imposed by the health care 'overseer'. I will never go to that kind of a practice again (even though she ultimately did discover that I needed surgery for gallstones because of the unexpected symptom!). So I doubly appreciate the time Dr. Shah affords all her patients.
Dr. Shah is pleasant, professional and offers thoughtful responses to questions. She is also knowledgable and decisive, both of which are desirable qualities for a healthcare professional!
Love Rina Shah. She is very nice, and asks thorough questions and does not try to speed through an appt. She takes her time and listens.

Dr Shah took the time needed and was able to talk briefly with my husband and daughter who came to help me.I had them ask important questions.. She listened carefully and communication was very good. I was pleased. It was a good visit.
Great visit. Thank you.
Easy to understand, thurough
I was very impressed with Dr. Rina Shah. I definitely will recommend her to my family & friends. My husband is going to switch his MD to Dr. Shah!
I have been with this office through six different doctors and I'm very old, deaf and used to only white Anglo Saxon male doctors. It was very scary to put my medical self into the care of a person I was worried whether I could hear and more important understand. She met my unnecessary and bigoted standards. What a delightful person she is. It was her job to interpret the results of an important test to me and I understood absolutely everything she had to say. It was also my first visit with her as my PCP and I am convinced she will be an excellent fit for me.
She is fantastic.
Dr Rina Shah is actually one of the Most compassionate and empathetic doctors I have met in a very long time and because I work in hospice I work with hundreds of doctors on all the time, for many years. I really like her presents and her help that she provides and I am very happy that in 2 years, I have chosen her to be my new PCP.
I like dr shah. VERY easy to take to
I think Dr Shah is very though and friendly. She answered all my questions. I think so highly of her.
She is very knowledgeable.
This visit was our first meeting. Dr. Shah was pleasant, understood my issue and completed the visit with no questions from me.
Dr Shah is very knowledgeable and always takes her time with any concerns or questions that I may have
I don't think I'd like to see this doctor on video anymore - I think she's excellent in person, but I did not find this video chat helpful.
Love her....
The doctor was prompt, friendly and helpful
Dr Rina shah is excellent PCP
Dr. Shah is responsive and helpful.
Dr. Shah is very nice and thorough.
I felt Dt. Shah was dismissive and abrupt.
Normally, I prefer to see the doctor personally. However, I couldn't get in for a personal visit, so I said yes to the opportunity to do a video visit instead. It was a very satisfactory method, especially since it was so timely. Dr. Shah was very helpful regarding the asthma episode that I was experiencing. She is a wonderful doctor, and I feel very lucky to have her as my primary care physician.
She is always listening and asking good questions.. Compassionate and understanding.
She WAS on timE AND HAD ALL MY INFO
She was very helpful in diagnosing the problem and giving me a prescription that improved the problem! Thank You

She is extremely helpful and I know she cares about her patients.
Dr Shah was warm and friendly
She was prepared, got right down to business, and was able to go over all three disability questionnaires in only thirty minutes. She expects to complete the forms and send all three soon! We complemented her, and her office’s very large staff for their almost-daily help!
Love her...great Doctor.
She is the BEST, I love her and her bedside manner. She only sees me once a year (usually) but she remember who I am and what I do.
She's amazing doctor and she always takes grate care of me.
Thank you, Dr. Shah, for seeing me so quickly about my asthma episode. I appreciated so much your seeing me so quickly. I feel good to know that I am in your excellent care in case his asthma does not get better. I will be in touch if I decide to go for the chest X-Ray.
Extremely caring

She is a wonderfully caring doctor
Dr Shah is an attentive listener and always thorough.,
Doctor Shah is an excellent health provider. I appreciate her extreme attention to listening and willingness to discuss reasonable alternatives to my best health plan.
Excellent care by the doctor. Appreciate the track she keeps about health.
I trust her. I have a high regard for her professional ability.
It was a good session. I am sorry I could not understand everything you asked me. Part was the echo in the room and part because of my profound hearing loss.
She is a good doctor, very kind and very thorough with the questions.
Calm, clear explanations, answered all my questions.
We feel quite comfortable with the good doctor. We arw very lucky. She "knows her stuff."

She is very good and kind.
Dr. Rina Shah and her admin always provide a meaningful experience that keeps me aware of my health. Not good news for me in our visit, but Dr. Shah is keeping me informed on what the next steps are and confident in her advice.
Dr Shah is and has always been a very committed MD with regards to my healthcare. She went forward with my issue knowing I was very well informed as so what was going on and treated accordingly.
Already did in previous page/question
Thank you!
Dr. Shah was pleasant and helpful.
Rina Shah has an excellent bedside manner and demonstrates both patience and understanding in doctor-patient communication. I would highly recommend that those in search of a medical care provider should connect with her office.
Dr. Shah, is a good doctor, but Stanford makes her job difficult. I feel like, Stanford is over scheduling it's Doctors, and they don't really have the time to address problems with their patients. I started seeing Dr. Shah before the practice was rolled into Stanford, and feel the level of care has deteriorated since then. Stanford is the problem, not the Doctors.
I appreciate Dr. Shah's attention to detail and commitment to her patients.
She is a great Dr. I love her personality and calmness.
Excellent doctor, really liked the first experience.
Friendly and kind
I thought the Dr was very thorough in her questioning.
Keep up the great work and stay and be safe.
She was very clear and summarized what she had told me at the end, which I really appreciated.
Excellent. Nice. Thorough and professional.
Great doctor! I would recommend to anyone. Kind and provides useful advice.
Dr Rina Shah understands the medical problems presented and gives the patient a clear plan to solve the problems.
Dr. Shah is very sincere, concern and professional. No complaints but very thankful and grateful to have her as my doctor. Thank you very much Dr. Shah. I really appreciate everything.
Good. Caring. Listens.
Great!
I am tired of video visits. I don't believe I was heard, that my concerns for my health are valid and important. I don't believe i was given the attention I required for my symptoms. I completely understood the video visits during Covid, but I am fully vaccinated and I needed to see a doctor. But no availability ( and this is the 3rd time I have been told no appointments available).
Dr. Shah is very personable, patient, but professional, listens respectfully and asks key questions, thoroughly examining the issue at hand. She never gives the impression of being pressed for time. I appreciate Dr. Shah’s care.
Rina Shah is excellent - she listens, she is fast at understanding the problem and has a remedy ready with no problem.
She is very kind, compassionate and has an excellent memory. I would recommend her as a primary physician to anyone I cared about.
Dr. Shah is wonderful, she listens to my every word and has helped me through many health situations.....She is a great diagnostician and so personable and I believe she truly cares about her patients.
She is good

Time with doctor did not feel rushed and we covered my areas of concern for the appointment
Dr. Rina Shah is fabulous! She listens well & completely. She reads me well. I like her a lot!
She is always very professional and helpful with my daughters. We are lucky to have her.
Very helpful, listens to all your concerns and questions, kind
I was so pleased and impressed that a wrote a thank you for the courtesies and efficiency.
Dr Shah is never hurried and is always very thorough. She is very caring and I would not go to anyone else.
Dr. Shah addressed nearly all of my extensive health history without a feeling of judgment which I appreciated. There was a lot to cover in a short time.
Outstanding!
Dr. Shah is very attentive to my needs. I will recommend her to others!
no problems or concerns
Dr. Shah is the best, very calm, friendly, listens to everything I had to say.
Very nice visit.

Best doctor I've had in years. Listens and gives sound care in reasonable time.
Dr. Shah, under pressure from COVID-19 challenges, remains calm, caring and concerned! High marks!
Good experience.
she is the best
I felt really listened to because there is a lot of history with the problem I came in for. The doctor was new to me because my primary physician wasn't available, but I really enjoyed Dr. Shah and would like to see her again. She took my thoughts seriously which does not normally happen. I usually feel like an idiot or that I am an inconvenience to them when I go to any doctors appointment (here and at other offices).
Dr. Shah, while always professional and courteous on this visit she was more relaxed\, shoed a sense of human (which I like!) and spent + time with me.
Dr. Shaw is wonderful.
A very good first visit. Dr. Shah was responsive to my requests, as were all staff contacted by phone & in office.
I trust my dr. because she listens to me and what concerns me. She always available and prompt.
Believe I am in excellent hands
Lovely lady, never hurried, & always willing to answer questions.
good
Dr. Shah was very caring and listened to me. Gave me recommendations and assurance. She was always good to me. Additionally, she takes time to explain things to me.
She was never rushed. Ask appropriate questions and got to know me a little better.
Dr. Shah listened carefully, explained well. I didn't feel rushed - felt she really spent the time with me to understand my problem and to come to an informed conclusion about treatment.
Dr. Shah shows great empathy & willing to listen, a comforting person.
Dr Shah is sweet, gentle, smart, cordial, and non-judgmental when I admit my bad habits. teehee.
great service
I have already referred friends to Dr. Shah
she followed up with past issues and answered questions I had
Dr. Shah always very caring and shows interest in my visit.
Would have liked more communication about how my test results actually related to my condition rather than just saying they looked bad.
huge fan of Dr. shah
I would have liked more discussion about IBS and ways to treat it and I failed to ask for more information. However, Dr Shah was very thorough in making sure there was not a more serious potential problem with my digestive system.
Dr. Shah is very practical and direct about everything, which is great except I always feel either like I'm being interrogated or that I've done something wrong. It may just be my own sensitivities, but bed side manner is imperative for me to trust my doctor.
Doctor spent most of the time in front of the computer, which is understandable as she was documenting my symptoms and other information, but it made the experience feel less personal
best listener ever, empathy and clear communication
Dr. Shah has a kindly, good humored manner. She make it easy to discuss private concerns.
Dr Rena Shah is the best!
I am so glad that I found Dr Shah
Very Excellent!
Dr Shah is a very good listener and takes care to ask a lot of questions.
good experience)
her attention is focused and personal, not rushed. I'm not sure we've yet found the best treatment for an ongoing issue, but I feel confident working with her.
GOOD experience.
I love my doctor Shah /
I saw Dr. Shah for this visit without having seen her prior. She was very thorough with trying to determine the problem and gave excellent advice for treatment & follow up as needed.
dr shah is wonderfulpatient and caring
Dr. Shah was friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable...didn't feel rushed through the annual Wellness visit.
never a problem
Dr. Shah took time to explain to me necessary steps to resolve my issue. She was totally invested in my health and care
I have already recommended Dr. Shah t a few people and will continue to refer her. love her.
very competent!
Dr. Shah is always there for you. Kind, pleasant and friendly.
good experience as always.
dr. shah is the best!
Dr. Shah was wonderful. She exceeded my expectations. I had to find a new dr bc our insurance changed and I'm very pleased with Dr. Shah. She is courteous and genuinely showed concern about my health and well-being.
I feel like I have a connection to Dr Shah. I waited for an appointment so I could see her even though I could have seen someone else quicker
One of the issues i raised was a new breast fibroadenoma / cyst. Having a long history of issues here, i found her attitude quite cold and 'why wouldnt you just have surgery' unhelpful. When i looked at the request for mammogram paperwork later it mentioned malignancy even though she didnt not mention that to me in person and in fact agreed it felt like a cyst using the term 'breast mouse' in terms of its mobility. In all the visit left me feeling very unsettled and anxious, for something that should have been much more routine. If you are going to use the word malignant in paperwork you are handing to patient, you should explain why it is there and level of concern.
Dr Shah is the best!
Dr. Shah was wonderfully attentive and emotionally supportive just as I needed!
Dr. Shah is one of my favorite doctors. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
Had an excellent experience with my care provider!
Good experience. She was concerned with how I am doing & detail organized.
The care provider was concerned and helpful.
I am very satisfied with Dr. Shah. Her bedside manner is caring and genuine, and she is very thorough in her clinical care. A+ rating !
great experience very nice and I really liked this doctor she's good
took a very long time for dr shah to phone me re: results of X-ray. it was after 7pm and I had phoned several times before the office closed to get an answer, concerned it wouldn't be til the following day. someone should have told me that indeed she would call after the office closed. when I finally did speak to her, I got a full explanation and was satisfied.
Dr. Shah is professional and knowledgeable.
Made a special printouts of information about my condition and follow up care. She also searched the web to check pricing for a wrist splint that I needed.
Extremely pleased with Dr. Shah - being able to get in to see her, the time she spends with the patient, her thoroughness, and explanations. Many thanks.
a good experience she is very caring and thoughtful
Dr, Shah is both professional and warm. I always feel that I am taken seriously and can share concerns openly. I feel lucky to have her as my PCP!
Dr. Shah and her staff are so attentive to my needs and their care is unmatched.
Dr. Shah is very thorough and explains all very well. Does not rush
Dr. Shaw is a very compassionate listener!
Very pleased with Dr. Shah. She is very attentive and responsive to my concerns, questions, etc.
My regular doctor was on vacation, so I saw Dr. Shah. I was very happy with my visit with her. I was particularly impressed that she had her assistant phone me the following week to check to see how I was doing.
Dr.. Rina Shah is excellent. she knows my health history and my concerns, and is great about explaining her treatment and insights with me. she's also very patient and compassionate.
she has been helping me with an ongoing back problems which has been difficult
Dr Shah was very thorough and it was a good visit in terms of communication and setting of expectations of what I needed to do.
Overall a good dr. I dislike being asked about my carb intake at my appt. I have fibromyalgia. Being food, exercise, fat shamed doesn't motivate me.
Dr Shah is very approachable and in spite of being busy, is able to focus on the patient before her
My care provider gives me good explanations and concern for my question and worries I might have. Good verbal understanding.
I love Dr. Shah. I always feel that she knows my health situation, she listens to me, includes me in the conversation, and has time/cares about my concerns.
kinda felt like she was trying to make up time during my appointment.
the office staff were not as careful explaining the routine at the office I had to go back to get my discharge paper
dr shah is fabulous
The doctor was very soft spoken and hard to hear/understand. My husband and I had to ask her to repeat almost everything she said. Otherwise, I was happy with the medications she prescribed for me.
I've been looking for a primary care doctor to replace a doctor that I've had for 20+ years and I believe I've found that doctor
I like my doctor very much and no complaints. She is helping me with back issues, plus my yearly check up. I am getting it all done.
Both doctor and nurse were very professional and very caring.
LISTENED, PURPOSEFUL, EFFECTIVE. KIND
Excellent service
Dr. Shah is excellent. We are lucky to have her as our family care physician!!
Good
Im very happy with the service since the office was moved from downtown Los Gatos to new office on Los Gatos Ave.
Dr. Shah is very knowledgeable & was able to put some issues to rest.
I went in with a severe sore throat, fever, chills. was swabbed for flu and specifically asked if it could be strep (was told no so no swab). had to come back two days later pay another copay to request the strep swab AGAIN and it was positive just like I thought.
Provider answered personal phone after telling me it was her son.
Dr. Shah takes her time with me and explains things thoroughly. She has a gentle style and is supportive.
Very good experience
good
Dr Shah was extremely thorough for this yearly "physical". She addressed all of my questions and covered everything very well.
Great staff, all that I interacted with.
good
Dr Shah rocks. After viviting her, i always feel confident that I'm being cared for by a highly competent physician
Doctor appeared frustrated and acknowledged the reason for my long wait (early patient was late for appt). Not sure if nurse asst was responsive to doctor's needs.
Dr Rina Shah listens respectfully, considers all the data and findings thoughtfully before determining best assessment, possible diagnosis and initial course of treatment.
Dr. Shah is one of the very best doctors I have ever had. She is sweet, very aware of ALL my needs and I consider her previous... and yes, I have recommended her to many of my girlfriends. My daughter is now in the office w/someone she was referred to by Dr. Shah.
Dr Shah is very patient and gave me time to talk and listens to what is being said.
Dr. Rina Shah is excellent.
this was a new cardiac diagnosis for me. previously healthy. dr shah was very thorough and caring and arranged a cardiology appt immediately for the next day. she also called me that evening when she heard back from the cardiologist who had recommended starting medication that evening and she instructed me to go to the pharmacy.
Doctor was very easy and communicative about my issue.
Excellent service from Dr. Shah.
I have recommended Dr. Shah to EVERYONE that needs a new doctor or not. She is an amazing doctor. I wish I met her a long time ago.
All the staff is friendly and knowledgeable they just seem to always be behind and always tell you that your appointment is going to be faster than it actually is
I did mention at the beginning that I wanted her to look at a couple of skin spots but she didn't and I forgot until I was gone.
Dr. Shah is excellent. We (my husband and I) like her and she has our full confidence!
I work in healthcare and I know it is not always easy. All the staff and Dr. were wonderful.
I will definitely recommend this provider
communication outside the facility with dr is not great. I have no idea where I am in finding out if certain things have been requested, if insurance had been notified, if procedures have been requested or I need to do any follow up
Annual check-up - No specific issues.
dr shah on my first visit was professional and communicated well, but on the second visit she showed more warmth and concern. felt she listened to me more empathicallyand showed interest in my questions.
outstanding
love dr shah!
Overall, experience with the doctor was good. She was patient and listened to everything on my long list. She appropriately worked to get the needed referrals in motion. No complaints.
good
Dr. Shah is my heroine.
