About me
"I enjoy the personal interaction I have with patients and sharing a laugh or two," states Dr. Anil K. Shah, Cardiologist with Shah Associates, "in addition to the early detection and primary prevention of serious cardiac disease." Dr. Shah is board certified in both Cardiology and Internal Medicine, though his concentration is on Cardiology. "Dr. A.K.," as he is known to his patients, completed his residency at Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Darby, PA, and his cardiology fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. In his leisure time, Dr. A.K. enjoys spending time with his wife, Dr. Beena Shah, and their two young sons. He also enjoys a good game of cricket or ping pong.
