Dr. Shapiro has been seeing me for a shoulder injury in which the ligaments were severed. I am now scheduled for surgery (outpatient same day) and because of my experience with him I am confident of a successful outcome.

It is always good to see Dr Shapiro. I fell on my knee. He did not rush into a treatment but did a bona scan, after he removed fluid from my knee and it was blood. The scan did not show and any positive damage. I am to see Dr Dingle if problem persists.

Great Staff and Doctor! Dr. Shapiro and his assistant, Ariel are absolutely wonderful. They made my daughter feel comfortable and explained her xrays and recovery plan directly to her, and me of course. I just liked that they talked to her as opposed to talking over her to me.
