PrimaCare
A physical exam is used to check your overall health and to ensure you don't have any medical problems that you're unaware of. This is your chance to talk about any problems or symptoms you're experiencing and get professional advice from your primary care provider. With the growing epidemics of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and opiate addiction, the health of our nation has never been in greater crisis.

We have two full time providers and all the necessary supporting staff to deliver the highest level of primary care to the residents of Tempe and the surrounding areas. Shah and Kayla are great! I've seen them both on various occasions and have always received very thorough and straight forward explanations for my health concerns.

I found this practice years ago based on others reviews and those reviews were right, not made up at all! My previous doctor was amazing too!! Primacare has a wonderful team of physicians, Dr. Shah and Dr. Shelley. Even the front desk people and lab people have been great as well!! They have great bedside manners and actually listen to all of your concerns. As with anyone providing care or a service, you must always advocate for yourself. Tell them what you need or would like the end result to be. Dr. Shah and Dr. Shelley respect that and they have a great respect for one another. Plus, I have

Pro's = Staff if friendly, knowledgeable and always seem to be ready.
They have their own lab in-house therefore I no longer need to go to a 3rd party location for blood drawls etc.
Doctor visits are intelligent mutual conversations and with Dr. Shah (My Doctor) This is the first time I have been comfortable with the patient/Dr. dialog in terms of the doctor being honest and showing indications that he genuinely cares about his patients health.
Additionally Dr. Shah is affiliated with Chandler Regional Medical Center which is my "not for profit" trauma center, aka hospital of choice.

I would highly not recommend. I can honestly say that Dr. Shah, in the instance of my care, got the entire situation terribly wrong. Dr's are supposed to care about their patients and help them work towards a diagnosis and continuing care. Based on my experience, he was belittling, borderline cruel, and legitimately wrong in his assessment. Tread lightly and proceed at your own risk folks.

The office staff refused to offfer an appointment or even for a nurse to return a call when I called this morning! I have been a long time patient there who doesn't go in very often. I've had bad experiences with the office staff being inefficient or useless. Today, I called at 8:30 a.m. which is early enough to obtain an appointment. As soon as I mentioned Covid, I was told it was impossible to get me in and I should try CVS or Urgent care. I told her I already took a test and it came back negative! So maybe it something else. She said there's nothing she could do, we're double

I was treated at Prima Care by Kayla Shelley. From the moment I walked into the office I felt comfortable and welcomed, thanks to Kristen at the front desk As I talked about my concerns, I felt that Kayla really was listening and caring. My questions were answered! It is so hard to find a doctor that really takes the time to help! I recommend this office. I feel like I have made new friends that are helping me stay healthy!

I started seeing Dr.Kayla Shelly after my OB/GYN retired. I couldn’t be happier. Dr.Shelly not only does OB, but is my primary care physician and nutritionist. She is amazing. There is no nonsense. She is thorough. My previous doctors had me come back time and time again, but Dr.Shelly gets blood work ordered, x-rays, referrals, etc on my one visit. Whatever you have going on, Dr. Shelly is very experienced and gets right to the root of the problem. She is a one stop shop ;) I couldn’t recommend a better facility for my health needs. Also, Kristin, at the front desk is always happy & helpful

All I had was a phone call today, but I was highly impressed with the staff (Kristen?) and how she handled things (it was a bit of an unusual call due to events in my life and in Dr. Shah's life). Very professional. I felt cared for afterward. This is a perfect way to handle patients.

This office is a rarity these days.
Patients Will Not:
Be subjected to numerous drug advertisements.
Be prescribed medications that they do not need.
Be rushed in and out of the appointment.
Patients Will:
Be given thorough and thoughtful examinations.
Be asked meaningful questions about their physical and mental health.
Be given advice on how to improve their health.
Be listened to and respected.
Dr. Shah, Dr. Kelley, and the entire staff have my trust and gratitude for taking good care of me and my family. I cannot imagine finding a better doctor's office.

Kayla is the most outstanding PA you could find. I have seen many doctors and specialists in my day, and Kayla's knowledge paired with compassion stands far above. The office moves like a well oiled machine and has an in-house lab. I hope I never have to go anywhere but here for my medical care.

To me I love when a doctor actually listens to you and has compassion when diagnosing you. I have only ever had the best experiences with Dr. Shelly! For anyone that’s a little bit bigger, she is not a doctor that blames everything on your weight. Love the front office staff too!

I have been a patient of Dr. Shelley's for 4 years now and have always had really good experiences with her care. She takes time to listen to concerns while offering a variety of solutions to any problems and is very understanding while also being a practical solution-seeker. I am grateful to have found such a caring, competent doctor as a relative newcomer to AZ.

Found these guys through Yelp/google. Dr. Shah was so welcoming and it was so relieving as we've been on the hunt for a PCP for awhile now. Husband got his blood drawn which he doesn't do well with needles and the ladies that drew his blood were so kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Shah.

To some degree it is our fault that we did not insist on getting pre-approvals from our insurance when Dr. Shelly referred my wife for an MRI, but I would also expect Dr. Shelly to be knowledgeable about what kind of tests she needs to run before MRI is approved. After 3 appeals with insurance, every doctor said that we should have had some kind of a test first. We ended up paying over $2,500 out of pocket.

At first I liked the practice. Kayla was really nice and easy to talk to you. However, after my last round of visits I have decided not to stay at the clinic as a patient. I had three appointments in less than a weeks time with no diagnosis. I also spent a lot of money on labs and medication that were not needed. Those were all to help diagnose. Still referred out and as soon as I saw the specialist I was diagnosed with only visual exam and given correct Rx to remedy the symptoms. One of the three visits was a 5 minute phone call to discuss labs. I was billed for a level 4 office visits. After

Highly recommend going to primacare. I did some research before going here and the reviews are right, it's amazing. Everyone is so friendly and I truly feel the doctors cared and listened to my health concerns. Kayla is great and Kristie in the lab was wonderful! The front desk is also very nice, overall wonderful experience and I'm excited to have finally found a place I will continue to go.

I made an appointment here after reading all of the positive reviews. However, when I arrived I noticed the chairs and carpet were heavily soiled and stained and everything looked so run down. Then a nurse called in a patient and she looked so messy and disheveled that I left without seeing the doctor. I think that an office and staff are a reflection of the doctor and his standards so I was afraid to proceed with the appointment.

Love this practice. Kayla is absolutely amazing , hands down the best Primary Care physician I've ever had. She's so smart and realistic, and down to earth. She always listens and is very proactive. The fact that this is a one stop shop for me ( PC, OB and Derm/Specialty) is HUGE!!! I am so , so glad that I found this practice!

This is THE BEST practice I have had in decades!! First, really nice people answer the phone! They are trained and encouraged to answer my questions and make an appointment.
Second, if I need lab work, I come in without an appointment, and another group of competent people are there to do the job.
Third, when I come for my appointment, I wait for at most five minutes. Then I get to see Kayla! She asks how I'm doing and she listens. She does an examination and we have a discussion. If she thinks there needs to be some sort of follow up or other testing she immediately puts in the orders

Today I had my yearly physical with Kayla Shelley, PA. I've been coming to this practice for over 2 years and I've been more and more impressed with each visit. I've had reasons to visit for minor ailments and major issues, each one handled with professionalism and caring. She listens to you, hears what you're saying and always gives great medical advice. I have referred many other people to her and I know each of them have come away with the same opinions. If you're looking for a provider that will listen, takes time to actually hear you and follows up with you to

***if you really need medical attention, please avoid this place ***

The only reason I'm giving two stars and not one is because of the staff.
The ladies are friendly and helpful from when you first walk in and until you leave.

The doctor that "helped" me, Dr. Shah, he was a joke!
Waisted my time coming here.

I came for a server medical issue that has been getting worse and needed advice on what to do or what medical steps to take.

He gave no advice AT ALL!
He took no notes, and kept asking me the same thing over and over.
And I kept telling him "sir, you asked me that

I haven't been to a primary care physician in quite awhile... I usually am not a fan of going to the doctor! But I found Primacare via yelp and thought I'd give them a try.
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and quick it was to get an appointment. Upon arriving, paperwork only took a few minutes and I was seen almost immediately after.

Dr. Shah was fantastic. Incredibly personable, listened attentively to my questions and concerns, and addressed each item I came in about. He seems to genuinely care about not only precision of care, but quality and the need to feel comfortable in
