As you may recall, we partnered a year ago and assumed his Lincoln Park practice while he served as Chairman of Orthognathic Surgery and Director of Research at Yale New Haven Hospital (New Haven, CT). This past year of academia allowed Dr. Shah to further sharpen his skill set in orthognathic surgery and teach the residents in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Yale. However, to our good fortune, he has decided to make Chicago his permanent home. We are both committed to personalized care & have come together to offer a wide range of services for your patients by creating a specialized surgical practice like none other in the Chicagoland area.
