We switched to Dr Shapiro a few years ago… we have been really thrilled with the care she offers…she is very attentive, thoughtful and thorough, a good listener. Gives you so much time, and she’s very accessible! She is very professional and so easy to talk to… We feel so lucky to be in her care!

Very knowledgeable and thoughtful doctor. First time I have seen doctor who thinks and analyses all symptoms and give right diagnosis and recommendations for young middle-aged and elderly. She found so optimal drug regimen for my 92 y.o dad, that he is feel nice and well without any complains.

Dr. Shapiro is thorough. She is warm without being insincere. She sits and talks with me and takes time to explain things and ask questions. She is very thorough in her examinations and evaluations and has a good balance between using medications when needed and offering some practical holistic or home remedies for simpler things. I feel very confident in her care.
