BIO

Dr. Syed Shah’s journey from a remote village in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan to Las
Vegas, Nevada is nothing short of incredible. His success is a testament to his incredible work ethic, his
family’s commitment to educate their son and the power of perseverance.

After receiving a rare boarding school education in Pakistan, the young Syed Shah was determined to pursue a
career in medicine. He earned a medical degree at the University of Peshawar and practiced for 10 years before
deciding that to truly excel he would need additional training where facilities and expertise were not limited.

Dr. Shah came to the United States and SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York to further his medical
training. During his residency, he was exposed to a large number of patients with advanced kidney disease who
needed both immediate care, in the form of dialysis, as well as long-term solutions to improve their quality of
life. He decided then to become part of that solution and chose the specialty of transplant nephrology.

Dr. Shah specializes in transplant nephrology, helping patients prepare for and recover from kidney
transplantation. In his practice, he strives to know his patients both medically and personally. He believes
that familiarity results in better, more personalized care.
Dr. Shah is Board Certified in Nephrology and
Internal Medicine and fellowship trained in Nephrology and Transplant Nephrology. He has done extensive research
on the causes of rejection in kidney transplant patients.

Dr. Shah moved to Las Vegas in 2010 to join the KSOSN team. He is married with two young children, boy and girl
twins.
