Dhvani Shah, M.D.

Dr. Shah became interested in medicine at a young age as she watched her grandfather dedicate his life to taking care of patients. Gastroenterology was specifically appealing because it incorporates a strong preventative component through colon cancer screening and involves many different systems in the body from the pancreas to the liver to the intestines. For her practice, Dr. Shah commonly sees patients with gastrointestinal diseases, such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, change in bowel habits, abdominal pain, and inflammatory bowel disease. She also has a growing interest in understanding the microbiome and its intersection with IBS and inflammatory bowel disease.

Dr. Shah’s practice philosophy focuses on the importance of treating the individual, not just the medical conditions. She strives to build a partnership with each patient to create a comprehensive plan for optimal health. Dr. Shah believes Wake Internal Medicine and Wake Gastroenterology are a good fit as they are patient and community centered.

In her free time, Dr. Shah enjoys traveling, discovering the Triangle, and spending time with her family.
