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!

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.
