Dr. Shah is the owner and director of ENT & Sleep Medicine Associates. Born and raised in New Jersey, Dr. Shah attended college at Rutgers University followed by medical school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He completed his training in otolaryngology (ear, nose, throat surgery) at the same institution in 2000. In 2007, Dr. Shah completed additional training in sleep medicine and is currently one of only a few physicians nationwide who is double-boarded in otolaryngology and sleep medicine.

After working in central Illinois, Dr. Shah relocated to southern Illinois and founded ENT & Sleep Medicine Associates in 2010 in order to provide expert regional care for patients seeking treatment for their sleep disorders, as well as general ENT care. Within recent years, Dr. Shah was at the forefront of learning how to perform the complex, in-office balloon sinus dilation and has been instrumental in training physicians from across the country on how to perform this procedure. Regionally, he is a leading provider of in-office balloon sinuplasty.

Recognizing that healthcare is undergoing dramatic changes, Dr. Shah enrolled at the Kellogg School of Management and recently completed his MBA. Moving forward, Dr. Shah hopes to combine his clinical expertise, managerial skills, as well as the contacts and education obtained from Northwestern University to play a more active role in shaping change within the healthcare sector.
