Dear Arvind Shah, I came across this message, and I am sorry to see the loss of your loving wife, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this grieving time Gary Lalwani

My husband and I tried for 10 years to have a baby. We had just about given up when Dr Shah came into our lives. She and her wonderful knowledge, helped us have our miracle baby boy.
When I had breast cancer surgery seven years later, she came by my room to check on me even though she had been up all night!
Thank you Dr Shah for giving us our wonderful miracle who is now a teacher and proud daddy himself!
Love and rest in peace Debbie Usrey

Although I had only met Daksha a couple of times before her onset of ALS I was relieved that she responded so well to Monica and received such supportive and loving care throughout her very difficult ordeal. I enjoyed getting to know her better through this loving and beautifully written tribute. I hope you, your children, and your grandchildren receive the loving support you need to help you during this time of mourning. Namaste.

What a loving tribute and absolutely amazing person. We are sending so much love to her family.

It was an honor and a privilege to work with Daksha at Kaiser Morse Avenue in Labor and Delivery. I lovingly called her Doc Shah for years before I realized her first name was Daksha! She brightened every room she entered and we all loved her dearly. I will always remember your loving heart. You reminded us all that the best medical practice in the world is empty if not delivered with kindness and compassion. Rest in peace, dear friend.



Happy-Sad with this, I was in Hawaii at the time I heard.

I saw her several
months ago and it was sad to see that ALS was not kind for her.

I first met her in Pittsburgh PA when she was working at Allegheny General Hospital (agony general it was joking called) and I was at Magee Woman's Hospital (Univ of Pittsburgh) in the late 1970's. No disrespect, but when I first met her I thought people were calling Doc Shah and I thought that was inappropriate and...

I am sadden to read of Dr Shah passing. I was a patient from 1983 until she retired and am blessed with 2 children because of caring and diligence to help me get pregnant. I loved all the words of wisdom she would pass my way. I am honored to have known her.
