Dr. Chirag M. Shah MD

Prior to my recent cataract surgery, my eye examination showed a tear in my left retina that would have to be repaired prior to cataract surgery. The tear did not interfere with my vision so I never noticed the problem. However, I had noticed floaters in my eye.
My cataract ophthalmologist set up an appointment for me with Retina Results, Dr. Chirag Shah, a much respected Retina Specialist in the San Diego area. His office staff was efficient and courteous in arranging for my appointment.
My initial appointment was for an evaluation of my problem. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the examination equipment and the skill of the evaluating technician who did the data gathering. Dr. Shah’s bright, positive personality gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
Dr. Shah examined both of my eyes to make sure nothing was missed. He confirmed a tear in my left retina. He knew that I wanted to start my cataract surgery soon and made a follow up appointment for me two days later. He determined that laser surgery was my best option.
The laser surgery took place with no complications. I did have a follow up examination a few days later that showed the laser surgery was healing nicely. I am not suited to evaluate the quality of the laser surgery and left it to my cataract ophthalmologist to evaluate. She called it “Excellent”.

My husband and I were on vacation this weekend & unfortunately my husband had an eye injury and it landed us in the Emergency Room. The ER consulted with Dr. Shah on call for the hospital and he ended up getting us in at his practice late Friday night to be able to see my husband immediately. He was also very responsive as we called him on Saturday and Sunday to decide whether we should fly home or not, we ended up staying a little longer and delayed flying home to be able to see Dr. Shah again on Monday morning. His office was very welcoming & his staff were great! Dr. Shah was very kind, flexible, available and accommodating. We are so very grateful he was on call for the hospital, and that we were lucky enough to see him during our emergency. Cannot recommend him more!!
