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.

THE best oral surgeon!
Dr. Shapiro took care of my dad, who is on a blood thinner for a heart condition. On our first visit, he needed to remove multiple wisdom teeth. Approx a year later, he removed a broken tooth that was causing infections. Both times, he explained every aspect of the procedure and patiently answered any questions. He was so professional and knows exactly what he’s doing, and consults with other specialties, including my dad’s Cardiologist, as needed. My dad had no complications. The removal was quickly done. The office staff is also great to communicate with, which speaks to the morale in their facility. LOVE this surgeon!

Highly recommend
Dr. Shapiro and his staff took great care of me when I needed to get all 4 wisdom teeth removed at 37 years old. Dr. Shapiro met with me for a consult. He answered all my questions and calmed my nerves. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. My wait times for both appointments were slim to none. I was extremely nervous the day of my oral surgery and I’ve had trouble in the past with IVs. The nurse was great and had me hooked up quickly. They do their jobs very well and you can tell they take pride in their work. Dr. Shapiro even called me later that evening to check on me. I am so grateful for the staff and services I was provided.

Five stars for Dr. Shapiro
I highly recommend Dr. Shapiro. I was a little hesitant when my appointment was an hour late but once it began the staff performed flawlessly and explained each step of the process. Dr. Shapiro was personable and although it was a tough extraction, I am confident that he was thorough and exact in his work. Day 1 after the extraction and there is very little pain and no swelling. Should I need any additional extractions, I would not hesitate to trust my mouth to Dr. Shipiro.

Doctor & staff were friendly, professional, and extremely capable. Credit to Dr. Shapiro for the expertise and experience applied. I had some discomfort for about four hours post-procedure. That was it. I recommend Dr. Shapiro at Westlake Oral Surgery. Thankful for helpful reception and assistance.

Does what is needed
My son needed his bottom wisdom teeth extracted because they would complicate his braces. I thought the doctor would tell me we should remove the top at the same time, but he said they weren’t ready and we should wait. I was glad he didn’t try to do extra that wasn’t necessary at the time. He also called the next day to see how my son was doing.

Thank you Dr. Shapiro!
I was referred to Dr. Shapiro for an extraction with bone grafting and implant. Thanks to the staff, I was able to get an appointment quickly as there was a cancellation. Dr. Shapiro explained the procedure in specific detail, providing expected outcome and potential complications. Dr. Shapiro provided anesthesia to ensure the extraction and bone graft was painless and explained what he was doing throughout the procedure. I was provided with prescriptions along with detailed instructions for home care. Dr. Shapiro called me that evening to ensure I was doing well. Dr. Shapiro and the technicians and front desk staff are all professional and kind and I would recommend Dr. Shapiro to anyone requiring oral surgery and treatment.
