Brian Shah, DDS, MD

Dr. Brian S. Shah was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up outside of Cleveland, Ohio. He did his undergraduate work at Miami University and his dental school at Ohio State. Dr. Shah continued his studies and received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. His general surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery training was done at the Harvard teaching hospitals. This is where he developed a strong interest and passion for craniofacial surgery. As such, the form and function of the maxillofacial skeleton are central to his diagnostic and treatment philosophies.

Dr. Shah owned a private practice in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago while teaching in academic medicine at Yale. Shortly there after, Dr. Shah was introduced to Dr. Mark Piper and has had the pleasure of taking over Dr. Piper’s practice after his retirement.
