Dr. Shah says firsthand exposure to “various orthopedic deformities” as a medical student and resident in India lead him to specialize in orthopedic surgery. Backed by strong family support, Dr. Shah—recipient of an arthritis and reconstructive surgery fellowship—became a physician to serve the community.  He says, “I always wanted to assume independent responsibility with hard work and zeal.” He describes his ability to alleviate arthritic pain and improve the quality of life for his patients simply as “gratifying.”

Dr. Shah belongs to the Jain Center of Southern California and served on the volunteer medical rescue team that provided relief to victims of the 1993 earthquake in India. He enjoys tennis, travel, music, cooking and “spending time with family.”

October 31, 2024
Dr. Shah and staff are great to work with.
October 31, 2024
I was in and out within 1/2 hour. I wish all of my doctors were this prompt when seeing their patients at the time scheduled!
September 27, 2024
I was very happy with their attention. I would only like them to have more nurses who speak Spanish. Thank you very much.
September 27, 2024
I appreciated the respect and time the doctor gave my mother. He listened to her concerns and took the time to explain things carefully to her.
September 27, 2024
Dr. Shah and his Nurse assistant are always so kind and caring. He takes care of my sister, (PHI removed) who has autism. She cannot communicate but he always gives an extra effort for her. He may do that for all patients but it feels special for my sister. I feel like he is always looking out for her.
September 11, 2024
Very courteous staff

September 06, 2024
They treated me with great respect, very excellent service, thank you.
August 23, 2024
Dr. Shah was very attentive, an active listener; excellent bedside manners; easy to talk to, provided clear answers to all questions; addressed concerns and spoke in a clear manner.
August 19, 2024
The staff, the doctor, wonderful, beautiful people. They're very involved in me and my care. Though I've been there since February, I've had two cortisone and my insurance would not cover a gel shot that I ended up paying $550 for, but I paid it and it did nothing. So I don't know where we go to from here, but it's not their fault. I don't believe. I don't know what to do next.
August 19, 2024
Dr Shah took time to explain my injury in terms that were easy to understand, answer my questions professional.
August 19, 2024
Excellent staff
August 15, 2024
Dr.Shah is very informative to me.he is very kind and understandable for my medical concerns of my health(Knees).and he listens to me very well. This Doctor is the Best.
August 14, 2024
A nurse should be present during the time that an injection is being administered by the male physician to a female patient.
August 14, 2024
The doctor gave me a shot in the shoulder, and received immediate relief from the shoulder pain. The doctor listen carefully as I explained about other issues of pain in the knee and neck. I asked if a knee brace would help the knee pain and crooked knee. Doctor advised that surgery in the knee would be best to correct the crooked knee, which is 1/2 inch shorter. Also explained the bent over neck can also be corrected with surgery. I'm considering surgery, if approved.
August 14, 2024
Doctor was running late. The doctor gave great service when was it in the in the office with me. Staff came in explained why they're running late much appreciated. The x-ray technician (Name removed) gave great directions and was very thorough. Doctor Shah was very attentive and listened and explain things very thoroughly.
August 12, 2024
Thank you.
August 12, 2024
The staff was very well respecting. The doctor, my appointment was at 2.30, I didn't get out of there till 4.00. I see him every three months to get cortisone shots. My left shoulder, he hurt me so bad that when I got home I was in so much pain. My arm was all swollen and black and blue. The same with my knees, I don't know what's going on with him the last three months or so. It's been pretty bad. I've gone to him for a while now and it seems to be getting worse and I don't know why. I don't know if it's the end of the day and he's tired or what, but I'm thinking of looking for maybe another doctor. That's about it. I don't know what you could do.
August 09, 2024
Yes, it's a really bad time for you guys to call. I have like a cast on and a broken hand and it's very hard to hold a cell phone and press one and two. So you should either do it in a voicemail, you don't have to press the numbers. Okay, but as for my visit, it was perfect. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
August 05, 2024
Yes, the waiting time that you wait in the waiting room. I was called in and basically I waited for the doctor about over 45 minutes before the doctor even came in to see me. I think that they should wait at least maybe 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes, and then call you in into the waiting room, inside the room to wait. And that way you're not sitting in there so long waiting for the doctor. Thank you.
August 02, 2024
I got there a couple minutes before my appointment but I had to wait for 20 minutes for my insurance to be verified before they put me into the cue that I was ready to be seen by the dr. Since starting with PIH in February I have never had to do that. Other patients came in after me and they didn't have that wait for verification so that extra wait made me later to work. And to just see the representatives talking and laughing while I'm still waiting was very frustrating. My experience once I got into see Dr Shah was awesome! His entire staff was terrific.
August 01, 2024
It was a pleasure to be seen by Dr. Shah and finally get a diagnosis for the extreme pain I've had in my hand and thumb for the past four months. Now I can begin to treat my symptoms properly and hopefully reduce my pain and be able to use my hand more easily in the near future.The diagnosis was disappointing but I was encouraged about possible treatments for my condition.
July 30, 2024
Very clean,friendly and comfortable.
July 26, 2024
Very pleased with my first with Dr Shah. He showed interest in my questions and concerns. He listened to me with undivided attention.
July 26, 2024
Getting an appointment is not an easy thing and also waiting time from the appointment time is more than 30 minutes and from there, doctor just see for 10 minutes and I'm not really satisfied with the timing. It can be better. Thank you.
July 26, 2024
Provider is friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
July 18, 2024
This experience was very positive.
July 15, 2024
An exceptionally communicative, obviously knowledgeable and easy to relate with professional. I was pleasantly surprised at how complete his questions, listening and offering solutions were. I really got lucky with this doctor. He is a keeper.
July 15, 2024
I have nothing to say! Because I'm satisfied about my visit.
July 12, 2024
It was excellent
July 10, 2024
It made me feel great, but my hope higher with my medical issues.This Doctor was very polite and professional with me.I loved it it was great.
July 05, 2024
The experience was very good. The doctor was fabulous, and the staff also treated me very well. The only thing I don't like is having multiple appointments in different parts of the building, requiring separate entries and having to pay $5 each time. This seems very excessive and expensive. They should control this better. If someone has an appointment, at least validate their parking. I know some people leave their cars for many days, but if it's just for an appointment, those tickets should be prioritized.
July 05, 2024
Dr. Shah was very friendly and was able to communicate with the child very quickly and adapt to her needs.
July 05, 2024
He was professional, yet friendly and easy to talk too. I would use him again and recommend him to others.
July 01, 2024
Thank you
July 01, 2024
Everything was fast and clear
June 20, 2024
Very disappointed I had to wait 90 mins to see Dr.
June 17, 2024
Just the waiting to be seen is frustrating. To wait close to an hour in the closed room, then Dr is with you for less than 10 minutes. Scheduling patients too close together is the problem.
June 03, 2024
I have been totally satisfied with Dr Shah's care of me with my knee problem. He is kind, listens and explains things well The office staff is also very nice and professional
May 31, 2024
When they transfer it to some clinics, they make it very expensive to sell it, no one is waiting to tell me there is a situation, but we have spent more than 30 minutes and no one communicates with them.
May 24, 2024
Thank you to the entire Team of Dr. Shah
May 20, 2024
Yes, I have gotten the best care there at PIA to the doctors and all. Okay, I really love my doctors. Thank you very much. Bye.

March 22, 2024
This is (PHI removed). I wanted to thank you, Dr. Shah, for the pain he held me yesterday. It was very, very painful from 1 to 10. I was maybe 10. And after he put the injection next day, I was like 50% less. Thank you so much. God bless you.

February 23, 2024
The doctor and staff were very pleasant.
February 23, 2024
Was very satisfied?
February 23, 2024
As is typical, my actual body was not examined. Yes, X-rays were viewed on the screen. The doctor did check my lack of physical strength. Perhaps a conversation about a range of activities that are tolerable and or activities that might build up strength over time.
February 14, 2024
I believe that there is a mistake in my return appointment to see Dr. Shaw. I'd appreciate a call back from his office to confirm the next visit. (PHI removed).
February 14, 2024
Everything is excellent, thank you.
February 12, 2024
The doctor explains everything thoroughly. He gives you options, cause and effect in a very accurate manner and he is very polite.
February 12, 2024
We had an incident with the front office- office staff on the date of our appointment. We were scheduled for an appointment through our pediatrician office and told us the wrong location. When we showed up to our appointment, we were at the wrong location. The front office staff for the orthopedic office told us that we were at the wrong location and we couldn't be seen by their office at their location (Putnam orthopedic). So, I had her contact the correct location and advised that we were on our way. They advised that we had until 11am. I gathered my kids at went to the correct location, when we arrived to the correct the front office staff stated that we were too late and could not be seen. I had advised the front office staff that was reassured that we were going to be seen. the front office staff gave me a hard time and I had her contact the doctor. we were seen by the doctor and the doctor apologized for the confusion, but the problem is the front office staff that blame the call centers. in reality, the front office staff are the major problem with their attitudes and lack of empathy for the patients.
February 09, 2024
Dr listen very carefully to my concerns & took time to fully explain away my concern. Very kind Dr.
February 02, 2024
I would like them to give good medicine. I took the medicine they gave and today am still (unreadable) with my ears. I'd like them to do all they can because I'm having problems. Thanks so much. God bless you.
February 02, 2024
Dr. Shah is an exceptional doctor. This is exemplified through his staff whom all treat you with courtesy and respect. Dr. Shah made sure I understood the procedure and alternatives. From our initial appointment through the healing process Dr. Shah explained what I should expect. Thank you Dr. Shah for healing my knee!
January 30, 2024
Everything was perfect everybody was so polite to me and my provider explain every to me very good ??
January 30, 2024
It was peace of mind for me as I was able to learn my issues were likely from muscle or tendon strains and not the components of my hip replacements
January 30, 2024
Dr Shah, (name removed) (his PA) and staff are great. I can't say enough about their concern for me as a patient.
January 29, 2024
Keep up the good work
January 22, 2024
I love this doctor and I'm glad to give good review input. However, there were too many questions. It needs to be shortened up. That's it, thank you.

Dr Shah, is a great doctor. He did total knee replacement surgery on my right knee a year ago and now he is going to do my left knee. I trust him completely.
December 11, 2023
The question for number one should be a four. I pressed an error one. Thank you.
December 08, 2023
I have a lot of experience and gratitude with Dr Bindesh, I have already gone through two previous surgeries with him and I have been perfectly fine. Now this is a new problem for my body, that is why I went to him. He has performed two hip surgeries on me. So I have a lot of confidence in him.
December 07, 2023
$5 for parking is outrageous.
