    Q&A with Dr. Akhil Shah, MD

    Q: What made you decide to pursue your specialty?

    A: I was drawn to the variety found in an OB/GYN practice. Every day is different and every patient's needs are different. As an OB/GYN you counsel patients in clinic, deliver babies, and perform surgical procedures. I loved being able to take care of all my patient's needs. I eventually decided on REI because I can't think of a better profession than the one that allows you to help people start and grow their families while also being at the cutting edge of medicine.
