This is the nicest MD I have encountered. A gentleman, , a compassionate, a knowledgeable master of a doctor that everyone wants to have on his bedside. He has the patient's ear and knows how to conquer his heart with his comforting style.

I highly recommend Dr Shapiro in every area. The reception area is a challenge but one person's bad attitude isn't going to keep me from receiving such excellent care.

If there are any good reviews about Yolanda then she must have wrote them herself. The woman is obnoxious and rude. God forbid you ask her a question. She acts like you are bothering her. Get her out of that office. What is Dr. Shapiro thinking?

Unlike some reviews I've read, I commend Yolanda and all staff in the Dr's office for the job they do. Could it be the reviewer not the person being reviewed. Dr. Shapiro is the best. He takes time to explain your individual situation. He is also an excellent surgeon. I've recommended friends who share in an excellent review of the doctor and staff

Dr. Shapiro is just ok as an eye doctor but that receptionist Yolanda is the worst. She is so nasty and rude. What is wrong with Dr. Shapiro to keep her working there?????

Yolanda has got to go. She is rude and obnoxious. It's amazes me how Dr. Shapiro continues to have her work there. Don't care how efficient she may be as a receptionist. She is a nasty human being and I know patients besides me that will not continue to go to that office cause of Yolanda. Wake up, Dr. Shapiro
