Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Would not recommend.
If you are a woman looking for a doctor to actually listen and understand your experience before slapping on a diagnosis, this is not the doctor to go to. The office team were very kind and understanding, but the Shapiro’s manner and method were both lacking. I actively had to interrupt him to correct him about assumptions he made about me. At the end, he gave me a diagnosis which I do not meet the criteria for and was actively telling him I didn’t experience those symptoms and told me that the symptoms I was dealing with can actually 'be pretty nice to have', completely ignoring the suffering and difficulties I came in to get help with. He then tried to sell me on expensive treatments they had at their office. It took a separate call to Shapiro from my therapist to convince him that I was experiencing difficulties because of my symptoms, but even then, he continued to make decisions about my care without explaining them to me or asking me about them. Would not recommend.
