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.

Dr. Shapiro is a great doctor. He diagnosed me right and I feel much, much better now; But he is a person who loses control very easy e.g. asking the unexpected question or the question isn't quite correctly composed, one wrong word and he explodes like volcano then one should just run. He has one of the worse tempers i have ever encountered. I feel for those people who work for him. I maybe will go back to him after 10 years.

As a doctor Harry Shapiro is extremely competent , knowledgeable and thorough in his examination and discussion of my problem. I went into seeing Dr Shapiro thinking I had one condition and trying to convince a experience dr, who proved to me after many test I did have a completely different problem. His listening capacity far outweighed the other doctors I have seen and finally I have a cure

I was completely satisfied with my visit with Dr.Shapiro. He was very attentive in answering all my questions regarding my thyroid issue. He is fully facilitated in taking test in the office. His staff was amazing in registration and test taking. I was very pleased and will be returning for a follow up visit in two weeks. Thanks Dr. Shapiro, you made my day.
