Dr. Shapiro got me into surgery 6 days after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is a very kind, caring person, who explained everything to me in layman’s terms. He performed the Whipple procedure on me, and was there before surgery to give me comfort, knowing how terrified I was. He was there every morning after surgery to check on me along with his staff of doctors. In my opinion, Dr. James Shapiro is the most caring, professional, wonderful human being I have ever had the privilage of meeting.

The “good candidate for the procedure” is now deceased. Never made it out of hospital. We requested a family meeting twice. Never heard from the resident, doctor, social worker, or care coordinator to arrange one. Dementia protocols not followed. Meds prescribed for symptoms that were never documented. We were told preop that the surgery would extend life expectancy only then to be told told 3-6 month expectancy post op anyways. Patient made it 6 weeks. Pretty sure the patient was just a good candidate to fill the OR slot and someone’s wallet. A vet would probably have provided more adequate services.

I was in for surgery that Dr. Shapiro was doing. He was so kind and made sure I understood the proceedure and what to expect afterwords.

Dr. Shapiro is a great surgeon. He operated on my husband. My major complaint is that my husband’s follow up appointments were way too rushed and not thorough enough.
