I am board certified in Neurology and fellowship board certified in Clinical Neurophysiology. Seeing patients with general neurological issues (e.g. concussion, seizure, syncope, neuropathy, headache, dementia, Parkinson's disease, tremors, multiple sclerosis) interests me the most. I am focused on outpatient neurology, and I believe in patient and family-centered care. I believe lifestyle modification and non-pharmacological treatments are a very essential part of the treatment regimen. At our Burlington location, we offer NCS/EMG, EEG, ambulatory video EEG, Vagal Nerve Stimulatory management, occipital nerve block, carpal tunnel injections, sphenopalatine block for headaches, and injections for various conditions. We take pride in our practices' principals of compassionate neurological care, ease of access for our patients, communication with referring physicians, etc. Dr. Shah is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Headache.

I specialize in sleep medicine and pulmonary medicine. In sleep medicine, we are looking at patients with sleep-disordered breathing and other conditions, such as narcolepsy. It’s a fairly common problem and causes so many other symptoms that many times it is missed. A lot of patients may experience fatigue, trouble falling asleep, daytime sleepiness, and loud snoring, and the spouse may observe stoppages in breathing. Patients may also experience difficulty concentrating, acid reflux, headaches, erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, and even cardiac issues. My job is to diagnose sleep disorders so we can resolve these issues. I also practice pulmonary medicine, mostly treating patients with COPD. I try to put myself in the patient’s shoes. That approach works well and helps me get a better feel for what my patient may be going through. My favorite part is meeting people, getting to know them and becoming a detective as to what is going on and how I can fix it. That technical approach gives me great satisfaction.

"I am a board-certified family medicine physician who was born in the Caribbean, namely ""America's Paradise"" St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. I gravitated towards the field of family medicine. I discovered that I enjoyed working in the outpatient setting early in my medical career along with serving under-served populations. I fell in love with the continuity of care, providing compassion and understanding, teamwork, and communication that family medicine encompasses. I chose Duke because I wanted to be part of an academic program, and loved the patient population. In my current position, I am passionate about primary care and prevention, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, chronic disease management, providing health care to under-served populations, and performing minor office procedures. I am a member of the American Academy of Family Medicine and the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, venturing to new restaurants, going to the movies, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I am engaged to be married in August 2014.".
