About Dr. Deepal Shah

"My philosophy of care focuses on compassionate, evidence based neurology through careful listening, accurate diagnosis, and individualized treatment. I emphasize patient education, shared decision making, and continuity of care to optimize function, quality of life, and long term outcomes."

Dr. Deepal Shah began her medical training in India, where she earned her MBBS degree. She later moved to the United States to continue her education and completed a Master of Public Health at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.


Dr. Shah then pursued her lifelong goal of becoming a neurologist by completing her Neurology residency at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson, Mississippi. She went on to receive advanced fellowship training in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at the same institution, developing special expertise in seizure disorders and diagnostic neurophysiology.


She started her medical career in College Station, Texas, at CHI St. Joseph Health, where she helped establish the region’s first state‑of‑the‑art Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. During this time, she provided comprehensive neurological care, with a particular focus on epilepsy.

    Dr. Shah listened carefully, took meticulous notes, and communicated clearly, empathically, and professionally. I never felt rushed, an increasingly rare experience when it comes to health care. All in all, an excellent first impression.

    She was concerned about me
  • Aug 20, 2026
    She is the 3rd doctor I have seen for my issue and I think she was the first one to take it seriously. I have been in pain for two weeks and she is the first one to actually suggest tests to find out what is wrong. She also explained things very well and listened to my issues.
