Dr. Shah’s interest in orthopedic surgery was sparked by his lifelong passion for basketball. He still plays at least once a week, which continues to motivate him at work. In his free time, he also stays very active playing other sports and participating in leagues.
“My lifelong passion for sports led me to play three varsity sports in high school and collegiate basketball for four years. I studied psychology in college and was pursuing coaching or sports psychology when I was first exposed to orthopedic surgery through an injury. As I recovered from surgery and returned to sport, I realized how I could combine my passions for surgery and sports medicine to help others do the same.”
