I had severe chest pain and I was taken by ambulance to holy spirit hospital. They diagnosed me having a heart attack basis of a blood test. Something came to my mind and I got shifted by ambulance to Brahma Kumari hospital and got admitted under Dr Mahesh Shah. I was mentally prepared for urgent angiography and if needed angioplasty. On Sunday morning also Dr Mahesh Shah came and visited me at Brahma Kumari hospital, he took my history in detail and examined me thoroughly and then he gave me an opinion that there is no heart attack and angiography angioplasty are not required. I was surprised that in today's Era a doctor would not do an angioplasty even when the patient is already financially and mentally prepared for the same. Today I visited his clinic to do my echocardiography stress test and to evaluate my future risk of heart attack ,and to reduce that future risk of heart attacks. I have read the review of Mr Ivan Stanley, @ivsnstanley, and I am surprised at the connotations and allegations ,whatever you call it, on Dr Mahesh Shah and his methods of working. What surprises me is that a doctor's clinic which has advanced equipments worth crores of rupees, there is absolutly no reason that he would keep a defective blood pressure machine costing just a few thousand bucks. I also discuss with Dr Shah about the implications of white coat hypertension. To my surprise he told me that white coat hypertension is something which is very common which is mild and doesn't even need blood pressure treatment and forget about recommending angioplasty bases white coat hypertension. A simple Google search on white coat hypertension would have cleared the doubts of anyone and everyone who doubts the integrity of Dr Mahesh Shah.

I had been taking my father to dr shah for almoat 8 years. I list him lost covid as y father had stopoed all medicine. We as a family were so happy with dr shahs simple and detailed evaluatiin ethids and all the exotic macines and facility at his clinic that i brought my mothe under hus care 3 years back and today brought my husband to him. We have great faith in his knowledge skill and integrity. My mother had white ciat hypertension and hence we used to measure her bo at home and come. We were counselled by dr mahesh that white coat hyoertension is a benign condition and does not need treament. Obviously no doctor would ever force patient to undergo angioplasty or stent for whire coat hyortension.

Dr. Shah WAS an experienced doctor and one star is for his WAS, but there are a few issues I want to say for him to improve 1. High bp and oximeter readings incorrect in clinic: The bP and pulse oximeter readings at his clinic shows very high numbers, causing unnecessary worry. They will try and scare and prove their machine is correct by saying "white coat effect" hai yeh AND SAYS DO ANGIOPLASTY NOW - '''INSTEAD doctor should have made relax and give water and talk well''' and not say go under angio same time you must do in the coming days urgently and go back home now with too many medicines that will have another affect and scare. he seems to have anger and quick irritation and then real white coat effect will happen due to his attitude.. Lekin machine unka sahi set nahi hai, surely kyu ke mera bp main jaanta hoo kabhi itna nahi hota whether in hospital or home. Mera advice hai ki sab apna BP machine aur oximeter le kar aao and before entering to his clinic check outside his building and then go inside. PELASE do not make Angioplasty a sales target. Pelase do for those only who deserve as you have done before who needed it genuinely and not force and scare to do for everyone. I hope by now the bp machines and oxymeter have been upgraded to new correct ones. the oxymeter he had was also loose and seemed someting wrong. They do not cost much and such a senior doctor cannot afford to keep one was shocking. That iswhy I request to change. 2. overconfident and attitude probably: Dr. Shah’s attitude has changed after starting his private clinic. Ab wo zyada business pe focus karta hain, aur patients ki baat sunne ka time nahi milta. Agar aap kuch bolta ho toh wo gussa ho jaata hain. Unhe samajhna chahiye ki wo bhi galat ho sakta hain. 3. Over-prescribing medicines: The medicines prescribed were good, but he gave too many. Har din itna medicines lena difficult ho gaya aur side effects bhi hua. Kum quantity mein medicines dena zyada safe and effective hota lekin overprescribes. Then he gives a daily chart to keep check of the bP etc Obviusly the daily results will not be normal reading as he gave too many medicines that will either show very high or low readings at home also.. also please make your daily check chart 5 to 10 times a day shorter that creates white coat tension at home itself .. This the doctors know also. 4. Focus more on Money: Dr. Shah mentioned in a review that he has to "recover the money spent on his education." After being so senior and earning so much name and fame still at this age should not run after money. While education costs are high, patients should never feel like they're being used to make up for your spent money on education. Doctor ka kaam pehle patient ki sahi care hona chahiye. I really hope Dr. Shah returns to being the kind and careful doctor he once was. I also want to say that he does not have to reply to my review to make his Google review impression good and think of business again. Instead, he should sincerely see that we want a good doctor and his patients to benefit from each other by improving and from some genuine reviews.
