Working with Mr. Ankur Shah has been life-changing.
“Not only is he a great mentor but also an incredible life coach. He just gets it - he knows how to really listen, ask the right questions, and help you see things from a new perspective.
Whenever I’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of my next move, he has been there with calm, honest guidance and real advice that actually works.
I will recommend him as a great mentor and life coach.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks to his mentorship, I was later offered my first position as a doctor.
“From the very beginning, Mr Shah’s guidance, patience, and commitment to teaching made a huge difference in my transition from student to doctor.
He not only shared his medical knowledge but also helped me develop confidence, clarity, and a sense of direction in my career. Thanks to his mentorship, I was later offered my first position as a doctor.
I will always be grateful for everything he has done for me.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I did get the job!
“Mr Shah has been a great mentor. He gave me opportunities to be better through experience and guided me through.
Even during my first NHS interview as a doctor, he was kind enough to give me some practical tips that heped me and booster my confidence.
I’m pleased that I found a wonderful teacher in him. I did get the job!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What sets him apart as a mentor is his ability to genuinely understand what a mentee needs.
“Working with Mr. Shah has been genuinely transformative for my medical career. As an International Medical Graduate navigating the NHS system for the first time, I found the transition challenging — the clinical culture, communication norms, and professional expectations were all unfamiliar. Meeting Mr. Shah at exactly the right moment made a huge difference.
What sets him apart as a mentor is his reliability and his ability to genuinely understand what a mentee needs, often before they can articulate it themselves. He guided me not just on clinical adaptation, but on the other critical skills like coping with a new environment, communicating effectively, and building confidence in myself and my abilities.
His greatest strength, I think, is perspective. He consistently sees situations from the mentee's point of view and helps you work through problems rather than simply handing you answers — a skill that clearly reflects his own breadth of experience across diverse healthcare systems and settings. He has a real talent for tracing an issue back to its root cause and helping you think through practical solutions.
I would recommend Mr. Shah without hesitation to any healthcare professional/doctor looking to establish themselves within their career. His mentorship has shaped not only how I practise medicine, but how I approach challenges more broadly.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Shah has been an exceptional mentor.
“It has been a privilege to work with Mr. Shah. Over the past few years, he has been an exceptional mentor - approachable, insightful, and always willing to provide the right solutions.
Mr. Shah has not only guided my professional growth but has also supported my personal adjustment to a new place and country with his thoughtful advice. I have complete confidence that I can turn to him with any concern, whether professional or personal, and he will offer wise and practical guidance.
He is a true motivator and has been a lighthouse, illuminating the path ahead and inspiring me to move forward.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I wholeheartedly endorse him and feel privileged to have been one of his mentees.
“I had the privilege of having Mr. Shah as my mentor. His guidance came at a very crucial stage of my career, and I remain deeply grateful for the time, effort, and wisdom he shared with me.
He consistently motivated me to keep improving, and he provided me with the tools and mindset to handle difficult situations with clarity and confidence.
He encouraged me to grow as a professional and as a person, showing me how resilience, empathy, and perspective are as important as medical knowledge.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He truly knows what matters and what it takes to succeed.
“I had the opportunity of completing a clinical attachment in surgery under Mr. Shah as an International Medical Graduate, and I can confidently say that he is an excellent mentor and coach.
As a doctor new to the NHS, I found his guidance invaluable. He helped me understand how the NHS works and most importantly, he helped me build a strong portfolio. His advice was always practical, focused, and insightful. He truly knows what matters and what it takes to succeed, and his guidance ultimately played a significant role in helping me secure a job in the NHS.
Beyond his professional expertise, Mr. Shah is incredibly approachable, supportive, and easy to talk to. He genuinely cares about the people he mentors and goes out of his way to help them grow.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Shah not just as a surgical mentor but also as a life coach. He is someone who can make a real difference in your professional journey and personal growth!”
