Dr. Shah is board certified in internal medicine and endocrinology.  On day one of her endocrinology rotation after medical school, Dr. Shah knew that endocrinology was for her.

Over time, she has developed a special interest and passion for patients with hypothyroidism who are pregnant, trying to conceive or who struggle with infertility.  She herself has struggled with infertility and hypothyroidism, and greatly empathizes with patients who manage these conditions.  She now has a success story of a beautiful boy who is her world. Outside of her endocrine practice, Dr. Shah loves to travel, experience new cultures, read, and try new foods.

1. What makes you passionate about treating patients with hypothyroidism:

I love treating patients with hypothyroidism because each case is unique and I have the opportunity to create a lifelong relationship with patients.  On a personal level, I myself have hypothyroidism and struggled with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. I hold a special place in my heart for women who are trying to conceive, experiencing infertility, suffering recurrent pregnancy loss, or who are pregnant.  I am always happy to share my experiences, my successes, and my failures.

2. My approach to treating patients with hypothyroidism is:

My approach to treating patients with hypothyroidism is personalized. Each patient with hypothyroidism has different symptoms which are most concerning to them. Sometimes we cannot address them all at once, so we choose those that are affecting your quality of life or health the most. Unfortunately, hypothyroidism symptoms don't always resolve quickly, but overtime we can develop a targeted strategy to get you feeling well.
