Dr. Shah is a Penang native, having been born and brought up here. After his secondary education at the Penang Free School, he continued to study medicine at the National University of Singapore. He pursued Cardiology as his primary interest and after completing his training overseas, he returned to Penang as an Interventional Cardiologist. His parents still live in Penang and his father is a general practitioner. Dr. Shah joined Gleneagles Penang in 1999.

In the course of his studies and training, he has received numerous fellowships of major international institutions such as the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (FRCP, Edin), European Society of Cardiology (FESC) and the American College of Cardiology (FACC) in addition to the Malaysian (FNHAM) and Singaporean (FAMS) accreditations to attest to his competency.

Dr. Shah is now having a partnership with Dr. Lee Li Ching, who is accomplished cardiologist and echocardiologist. They see all the patients and manage them together so that patients get the superior benefits of both cardiologists. The combined clinic is called the ‘Integrated Heart Care Clinic’ and was set up to further enhance patient care and treatment outcomes and success.
