Mandala Integrative Medicine, Davenport IA

I started going to Dr. Shah about 2 years ago. A friend of mine recommended him after I had shared with her my discouragement with my mainstream dr. In those 2 years I have been very happy with the treatment I have received from Dr. Shah. He is very knowledgeable, he takes time to listen to my questions and concerns and his bedside manner is compassionate.

Dr Shah has been a great resource for me and my health. He is so knowledgeable about the whole body and how it functions. My gut health and overall well being has improved very much from his expertise! I do highly recommend him as a great resource for your health!

The symptoms of my autoimmune diseases have lessened because of Dr. Shah's functional medicine approach.

Dr. Shah has been a life changer for me. I had food intolerances to nuts (unbelievably, I could eat peanuts) dairy, gluten (wheat, rye, barley and anything with white flour), processed corn (corn chips, tortilla shells, cereal), refined chocolate such as cocoa powder, and sunflower seeds/oil. I would break out with the hives, itchy throat, stomach pains, burning sensation in my throat and esophagus, etc. I had already seen an MD and an ENT. The MD and ENT doctors confirmed my food allergies; however, the final result was an epipen and to avoid those foods. I felt like I couldn’t eat anything, so out of desperation, I went to Mandala Integrative Medicine. Dr. Shah was able to reverse all food intolerance except the sunflower allergy. I was so happy to be able to go out to eat food again! It has been a year and a half and the food intolerances haven’t come back. Thank you Dr. Shah! Don’t be afraid to try Mandala. It might be exactly what you need to get back to better health!

Dr. Shah has been a great doctor for treating my autoimmune disorder with alternative methods and he tests on a regular basis to make sure my levels are in range.

After suffering digestive issues for many years, I finally turned to a more holistic approach. Many GI and primary Drs just told me it's IBS and to live with it. They also told me I was so tired because I have 4 kids. Within 10 minutes of meeting with Dr. Shah and going over my medical history, he had a pretty good understanding of what could be wrong. After testing he confirmed what he thought was right. He takes my input into consideration and went over everything thoroughly. It is more expensive but I have spent a lot in the past and have gotten no where. I'm much happier spending a bit more and being on the road to recovery.

Dr Shah help me with my thyroid. He always listens and doesn't rush through my appointment. With his help my thyroid is under control and I feel I'm in control of body. No more walking around exhausted after 10 hours of sleep. All thanks to Dr Shah and couple life style changes.

Dr. Shah is an extremely knowledgeable and caring doctor. His approach with traditional and holistic means is exceptional and was extremely effective. I highly recommend visiting this office.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would! I was very excited initially when I came across Mandala Integrative Medicine online in October 2018, after many many years of gut and emotional problems I was seeking a drug free holistic support system. Upon the first visit I was a little skeptical after the service provided at the front desk but I proceeded to meet with Dr. Shah. He suggested that we start with testing that included breath, stool and bloodwork and to keep cost down I signed up for a 6 month program. I was told that I would receive information about classes available, life coaching, and nutrition and a follow up with Dr. Shah. I received no such information and there was no information available online. My 6 months has came and gone and they debited my account monthly $99 w/ no services offered initially being provided including the test results of my bloodwork and stool work (which I paid over $1000 to have done out of pocket as my insurance did not accept or reimburse as I was originally told) and the last month I was charged twice. I contacted the company and was told I would receive a refund of the extra charge, 2 free classes/seminars, a $200 check for the inconvenience and the results of my labs. This was in March. When I did not receive this promise I contacted the company and spoke with Morgan, she said she had no record of the previous conversation and that she needed proof of the over charge. I faxed her the info. After 2 weeks and no contact I followed up and was then told that she did not receive the fax. Frustrated I asked for email. I then emailed the information on May 16th and ask that she contact me if she did not receive it by the end of the day. Today, June 13th, after no refund being applied I followed up with Morgan and was told the email was not received. I asked why I had not been called and she did not have a response. Talk about over promising and under delivering! I highly recommend if you are looking for a holistic one on one approach to healthcare that you avoid this company at all cost and take your money elsewhere!

Quick to take your money and send you on your way with little to no explanation as to how to really proceed with all your test results.

I heard about Mandala for a holistic approach to my autoimmune and gut issues. I do not like the idea of pills and a normal biologic approach is not a long-term fix and I went into my appointment telling the clinic/doctor this information. After hearing that none of the appointment 'plans' or tests were covered by insurance, but that you could submit your invoices after the fact, I proceeded. First of all, this is wrong. They don't use insurance so they don't have to provide the billing codes necessary for insurance to cover procedures and visits. Every single penny of what I've spent from this clinic or test has been out of pocket with no reimbursement.

After my first consultation I was excited about the holistic approach and was sent home with three different tests (stool sample, bloodwork, and breath test) and start on my merry way. Little did I know each of these tests were several hundred dollars, and labwork was additional.

After performing all the tests and meeting about the test results, I was sent home with a combination of pills (no less than 8 that I was expected to take daily, or multiple times a day), a bag of protein powder, a strict diet, and a list of foods that I was sensitive to that I needed to remove from my consumption ASAP. These pills were only to be provided by the clinic and there were no generics available, as they were anywhere from $12/bottle to $120/bottle. This screams a scam and MLM. The diet was supposed to be a temporary change but I had to ask for them to provide me with some sort of documentation about it. This overload of information was exactly what I did not want, but Mandala was too quick to send me on my way after charging me for several hundred dollars worth of product. When I left the office that day, I had no other path or follow up scheduled.

After all this, I decided to use part of my plan that included a 'food coach consultation'. Not having been provided detailed information, I thought this appointment would have gone over diet and recipe advice with my new diagnosis. When I showed up to the appointment, the 'coach' did not even have my file to know what my issues were. Not only is this highly unprofessional, but it was a waste of my time.

I have decided to go back to taking my own path of healthcare/treatment plan based on the hard evidence of the test results and not the advise of the clinic. I would not recommend.

I had excellent service from Dr. Shah, he was considerate and understanding to my concerns. The staff was also very nice and helpful getting me checked out and set up for my follow-up appointments. Anyone looking for integrative care this is the place for you!

I went to Dr. Shah with urinary infections, migraines and digestive issues. After 3 months of testing and supplements I was feeling considerably better. I feel the best I have in years. I'm very thankful for the great results. Thank you, Dr. Shah.

April 11th 2016 I had my first appointment with Dr. Sha, I had not idea what to expect but I had high hopes because i was desperate. Going into his office I knew everything I wanted him to know was plaguing my life and drawing me down, I will give you my list of issues I have dealt with over the years and seeing doctors and specialist with no answers.
1. Extreme fatigue
2. Not sleeping well at night
3. IBS
Bloating
Nausea

Urge to have a bowel movement but unable
4. Migraines
There was probably more symptoms but thats all I can think of for now.
So I was expecting to do a usual pee test take blood all the usual, but instead Dr Sha suggest I do a stool testing/ you get this kit take it home follow some instructions then mail in. Not gonna lie I was a nervous ninny to worried I was going to mess this up however I accomplished my task and mailed it in.

A few weeks later received a call from the office and had my 2nd appointment, one of the things I found out was that I had little to know good bacteria in my and this I knew was true I had been told this from another doctor. I was told I had a lot of fat in my system I believe this is due to my food not being absorbed because of my chronic constipation, Also leaky gut these two thing go together. (Now want to explain this is my first review and I dont remember everything but Im trying). So we will go with this for now.

Dr Sha started me on a high regimen of Probiotics, and Dr Wilsons Adrenal Gland therapy. This was one of my other problems my Adrenals were drained cortisol very low. I have been doing these supplements since April 11th I have had some really bad days but my days are getting better. I plan to stick this out and do another round of supplements and see how Im feeling in another month from now.

I apologize if this review is sketchy but im very new at this and plan to come back and write more later.

I've had two appointments with Dr. Shah and am hopeful his methods will help. I'm optimistic because he is looking for the cause of issues so they can be treated rather than prescribing meds that mask symptoms.

Dr. Shah literally saved me from myself. I have been seeing him for over a year now, and he has been a god send. My meds are in a good place, supplements and diet were addressed, and fatigue and pain is now minimal. He will help you. He looks at the whole person. I've been able to lose weight and have soo many more good days than bad. Please if you are on the fence, don't be. He is great. Give Mendala a shot, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I love this place and recommend them to everyone that I know.

I am an engineering consultant and work all over the country. At my age I need to make sure that I can see a good doctor in the area I am working.
I hang my hat in Dallas, TX but in 2015 fate brought me to Davenport, IA to work. Luckily I found Dr. Shah. My previous doctors had been giving me a lot of medicines and were unable to find the cause of my health concern. My health condition was getting worse. Dr. Shah investigated and succeeded in finding out the real reason of my health issue. He has cut down my medicine intake a lot and I am in much better health than before.
