Rave Reviews:
“I am the Site Medical Director for an FQHC, and had the pleasure of working with Jelina Shah for 2 years, where she was our Clinical Pharmacist.
We had a number of patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes mellitus. Those patients referred to Jelina, where she utilized her extensive knowledge of the most up-to-date therapeutic modalities. My diabetes patient had dramatic improvements in their hemoglobin A1C measurements, some dropping from A1Cs of 13% down to 7.0%.
The trajectories of their lives were changed for the better. This benefits the patients’ families as well, as the improved health provides greater productivity and improved family dynamics.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jelina Shah for help with diabetes patients. Her expertise and caring changes lives for the better.”
— Kemi Price, MD, Site Medical Director
“I had an amazing experience working with Jelina when she joined our FQHC as a clinical pharmacist assisting with diabetes management. She was excellent about communicating back to me as the patient’s primary care physician, making super helpful suggestions and recommendations, and sharing relevant clinical pearls.
I actually felt that I learned a good amount clinically from the collaboration AND my patients benefited directly from her care, so it really felt like a win-win situation.
I cannot recommend her highly enough, both for her clinical skills and her positive attitude.”
— Evan Kyo Tamura, MD, Family Medicine Physician
“I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner who’s been in practice for over 10 years. I worked with Jelina Shah, PharmD at an FQHC where she was the Clinical Pharmacist.
Many of my patients have poorly controlled diabetes compounded with low health literacy and few material resources. These patients were referred to Dr. Shah to help improve their blood sugar and overall health. Jelina is extensively knowledgeable about the diabetic disease process and practices evidence based medicine with a holistic approach. Each patient was treated with kindness, compassion, and patience.
Her unique approach is incredibly effective. My patients had drastic improvements in their blood sugar, some with A1c over 14% which became less than 7% within a few short months. Many patients reported their whole family’s health improving as their loved ones also began adopting Dr. Shah’s recommendations.
I highly recommend Jelina Shah without reservation.”
