As
a child thinking about my future, serving humanity through the healing arts of
medicine is what fascinated me the most. Children have always captured my heart
with their sheer innocence, joy of living, resilience, and their ability to
place unwavering trust in their caregivers. I am absolutely passionate about
working with children and building meaningful relationships with them and their
families, by sharing quality healthcare practices and partnering with them on
their path toward healthy lifestyle goals. Interacting with children from
newborns through the years as they evolve into amazing young adults is what is
most gratifying!
Dr. Shah offers ear piercing to patients 6 months and older, generally after the first two rounds of childhood vaccinations have been administered.
Personal Summary
Dr. Shah grew up in
Gujarat, India, and finished her medical education in America. She loves
spending time with family and friends, traveling and exploring places with her
equally-curious young son and husband. Dr. Shah also enjoys “living out my
passion of dancing (Bollywood, Indian Classical), which helps my physical and
mental rejuvenation.” Having lived in San Antonio prior to moving
to Austin, Dr. Shah loves the downtown Riverwalk there, but is looking forward
to exploring Austin, especially Lake Travis.
