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 the most kind, compassionate and experienced doctor I have ever met! I have been too many different doctors all over New Jersey and Dr Shapiro is my absolute favorite doctor! Highly recommended!!! Thank you Dr Shapiro for believing me and helping me get the help I needed! You are so appreciated!

First visit with Dr Shapiro 2 years back was good , she suggested a preventive antibiotic to be taken monthly , however in the follow up visit this month , i mentioned several times that the UTI is reoccuring and the antibiotics were not helping , she just suggested that i take only cranberry pills and she cannot help beyond that and charged 900 dollars to the insurance terming the visit as a complex diagnosis visit.

She wrote awful things about how I was acting in waiting room crying ib pan. I had to teach her what cwrtain "anatomy" was!!! This 20-something needs ro goback to school & have empathy for their patients. I asked her if she could speak with my husband fast & like Shazam she was out tje door & never saw her again. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. TRUST ME.

The absolute best experience I've had with a doctor. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a urologist and it was a bonus that she was a female urologist. Did a little research before choosing a urologist and I know that I definitely chose the best!

Smart and Excellent Bedside Manner
Just saw Dr. Shapiro for the first time as my usual doctor (Shah) at this practice was fully booked. I was VERY pleased with my visit and felt listened to and in very good hands. Also, it is so nice to have a female urologist -- as most are male. She immediately sets you at ease and lets you speak without cutting you off. The appointment was not rushed. The physical exam was also very well done with Dr. Shapiro explaining each step in advance of performing various examinations. She was gentle yet thorough in her gynecological exam. I very much recommend her and the entire practice if you need a solid urological practice.
