Meet Dr. Shah

From the flight deck
to your family's vision

Dr. Nisha Shah's path to Houston ophthalmology ran through the United States Navy — where she performed LASIK for active-duty service members before completing her fellowship training at the University of Southern California, Tulane University, and Baylor College of Medicine.

She built Ophthalmology & Cataract Surgeons of Texas on a simple belief: every patient deserves to see the ophthalmologist at every single visit. No handoffs to technicians. No generic waiting room. Concierge-quality care that moves at your pace.
