Roshan P. Shah, MD, JD, specializes in hip and knee reconstruction using minimally invasive techniques for less pain and faster recovery times. He believes there are many valuable pain-relieving treatments that do not involve surgery. When an operation is needed, he embraces careful surgical techniques with attention to the biological, anatomical, and mechanical restoration that is critical for a pain-free return of function. Dr. Shah has a particular interest in complex primary and revision hip and knee replacements, as well as associated fractures and infections. As Director of Complex Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction at Columbia University, he has reconstructed failed total hips and knees using sophisticated techniques and technologies. He has successfully treated patients from across the United States and neighboring countries, finding solutions to problems that stump others. Dr. Shah has made several contributions to research, having published 40 peer-reviewed articles, textbook chapters, and editorials, in addition to giving more than 30 scientific presentations. He served as editor of the University of Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Journal and the Yale Journal of Health Law, Policy, and Ethics. He was also an associate editor for the Stanford Law and Policy Review. Dr. Shah has been honored with multiple research awards, including 1st place at the Orthopaedic Research and Education Fund/Orthopaedic Research Society symposium, 2nd place at the Philadelphia Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Research Symposium, the AO Kathryn Cramer Award, and the University of Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Journal Resident Recognition Award. He holds one provisional patent application for a patient safety device innovation. As a former Washington health policy fellow for both the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, Dr. Shah continues to advocate for policies that serve patients, improve access to care, and support research and innovation. He was invited to speak on FDA regulatory issues and innovation within the field of orthopedic surgery at a meeting in Washington, D.C. A native of Camden, New York, he earned his B.A. in Chemistry from Dartmouth College, with additional concentrations in philosophy and public policy. He received his doctor of medicine degree from Yale University and his juris doctor degree from Stanford University. He was a resident in orthopedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received the DeForest Willard Award for outstanding performance as an orthopedic senior resident and the Marvin E. Steinberg, MD Award in Adult Reconstruction for outstanding work in the field of adult reconstruction surgery. He also completed a post-doctoral research fellowship (in the field of tissue engineering for orthopaedic surgery applications) at the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory. Before joining ColumbiaDoctors, he completed a fellowship in Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction at Rush University. Additionally, he has travelled to Wrightington, England to study advanced principles of the hip at the Charnley Centre for Hip Surgery.

Scott Forman, MD is an Associate Clinical Ophthalmologist specializing in adult and pediatric neuro-ophthalmology. With more than three decades of experience, Dr. Forman has cared for patients with complex neuro-ophthalmic disorders while also training medical students and residents at New York Medical College, where he served as Director of Neuro-ophthalmology at Westchester Medical Center. He has published extensively in leading medical journals and is co-author of Neuro-ophthalmology Problem-Solving: A Practical and User-Friendly Guide, a widely used reference for physicians. A graduate of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Rutgers University, Dr. Forman earned his medical degree at UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He completed his ophthalmology residency at New York Medical College, serving as Chief Resident at Westchester Medical Center, followed by fellowship training in neuro-ophthalmology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital under Drs. Myles Behrens and Jeffrey Odel. In addition to his clinical and academic expertise, Dr. Forman incorporates functional medicine and nutritional biochemistry into patient care, offering a holistic approach to vision and overall health. He currently sees patients at Belchertown Eye Care and holds hospital privileges at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. Outside of medicine, he enjoys playing jazz and blues guitar, swimming, and bicycling.

Dr. Fahim Pyarali is an Assistant Professor of Medicine & Assistant Professor of Surgery at Columbia University. His primary area of expertise is Interventional Pulmonology, in which he performs minimally invasive procedures for patients with complex respiratory problems, including lung nodules, airway obstruction, and fluid around the lung (pleural effusions). He performs his procedures using the most cutting-edge technologies, including robotic bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, endobronchial valve placements, as well as multimodal approaches for airway constriction, including bronchoscopic laser treatments, dilations, and endobronchial stent placements. Dr. Pyarali has earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch. He received a Masters of Public Health at Harvard School of Public Health, and completed his Interventional Pulmonology training at Harvard Medical School. His primary research interests include peripheral navigation bronchoscopy and complex airway diseases. He has won several awards for his research from national societies, and is also passionate about educating the next generation of students and trainees.
