Dr. Shah Joins VisionQuest Eyecare
October 22, 2020
Dr. Anjali Palvia Shah has joined VisionQuest Eyecare.
A Midwest native, she spent most of her school-age and formative years in Boston and New York, where much of her family still resides.
She attended the State of University of New York College Of Optometry where she served as Vice-President and President of her class. During fourth-year internships, she trained in pediatric care and vision therapy with some of the leading instructors in the field. In an effort to be well-versed in all specialties, she chose to follow up on this training with a residency in ocular disease and low vision at the VA hospital in West Haven, Connecticut.
Dr. Shah also served on various medical missions where she managed the eye and vision needs in rural areas in the United States, Nicaragua, and in remote villages in the Himalayan Mountains.
Dr. Shah settled in the northern Indianapolis area in 2009 and has been providing eye care in Fishers and its surrounding areas ever since. She loves getting to know families within our community and meeting all their vision and eye health needs.
She especially enjoys solving the needs of patients with dry eye disease, as well as those with focusing deficiencies that can cause headaches, eye strain, or poor performance in school. Making sure children start their eye exams early at 6 months, 3 years, and 5 years is her passion project. She doesn’t want to see simple vision issues going undiagnosed and being misread as a disinterest in school or learning problems anymore.
She enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter and two sons. She keeps busy being a soccer, volleyball, and cross-country mom. In her free time, she enjoys bike rides on the Monon trail, playing board games, dancing and traveling.
