AZ Oral

As others have noted, they will do a cone beam CT on you at the beginning of your visit regardless of whether is a dental visit or a medical visit. They will then tell you that in order to get the images in a medical visit, you have to pay $300, because they bill it as a dental procedure. Those CT scans are absolutely worthless to you because no radiology office will read them. Doctor Shah will only look at it for about 20 seconds before forming his opinion, and not look at everything that he’s supposed to to make the diagnosis that you are therefore. Stay away from this doctor if you can, his office is going to play hymn music, but like most people who do that it is to hide their narcissistic and megalomaniacal tendencies. The office staff is rude and condescending, as is the doctor.

I have suffered from TMJ for years, but had a major flare-up. Dr Shaw's office staff got me in quickly for an initial eval. I admit I was hesitant to continue with Dr Shaw's treatment plan due to the cost. (I had no TMJ insurance coverage.) I underwent arthrocentisis, PRP treatment, and splinting with very good results. I wanted to wait to review to see if the results were long lasting and they were! Dr Shaw's splint was phenomenal and provided immediate relief. I continue to wear at night and for any break through pain. (Have had other splints that just seemed to exacerbate my symptoms.) I needed a couple of minor splint adjustments following the procedures, and I was always scheduled quickly. Dr Shaw and his office staff know their stuff! Thank you for helping me be as pain free as possible with a chronic condition!

I had such a fear of getting my wisdom teeth removed for as long as I can remember. Dr. Shah and his staff made it so much easier on myself and getting out of my head. Kimmy was so kind and made me feel like I wasn’t alone when I felt vulnerable and was very conscious of my other medical conditions, I can’t thank this office and staff enough

Cierra and Claressa are amazing! They were both so kind, helpful, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout my visit. I’m really excited to come back and get my implants done here. Highly recommend

I wish I could give zero stars. (TMJ patient) I was issued a refund after being overcharged by over $800 while under Dr. Shah's care once I was told I needed a second procedure and opted to seek a second opinion elsewhere instead. Billing was disorganized and backpedaled during an audit of my account when I was hit with a bill a year and a half after I left AZ Oral. The office staff failed to mention my insurance was out of network when I called to confirm my benefits with them when I reached out to schedule an early 2025 appointment. Dr. Shah told me my jaw clicking and popping could not be fixed, something that I found out to be untrue when I transferred care to the Head Pain Institute. I've been without clicking and popping for over a year now. Dr. Shah left me with a close lock for 8 weeks after an arthrocentesis procedure, causing cavities and costing me thousands in physical therapy and making my condition worse than before I entered his care. The Head Pain Institute unlocked my jaw at my first appointment and set me up with a plan to fix my clicking, pain and popping, something Dr. Shah's arthrocentesis never fixed and was a waste of time and thousands of dollars. I wish I could go back in time and never go to this office. If you have TMJ, be warned.
