Dr Shapiro was amazing. He was professional, and had expert advice. He always took the time to meet you and answer your questions personally. He also came saw me 5 minuters before surgery as well. He provided such excellent care. It gave me great comfort to know that this skilled surgeon was looking after me. His team of staff and excellent as well. All very knowledgeable, hardworking and providing great care for the patient. I would absolutely recommend this surgeon.

Dr. Shapiro is a busy surgeon and I've wait hours past my appointment time to see him but once you do, he's kind, gives you the information about your surgery, and to the point. The staff do their best but they seem stressed due to the busyness. I had my surgery date moved a few times but on the day of, I felt very comfortable and in good hands with Dr. Shapiro and his team, the follow up appointment was a long wait and a short visit as my surgery recovery went well.

He performed an unnecessary procedure and then cut every abdominal muscle I have to remove my gallbladder. Arrogant, without a shred of compassion for his patients. Rude to his residents

He was kind, though a little sharp with his residents. Had a liver transplant. Post-op was bumpy with infection (I hear he is known for that compared to the other liver transplant surgeons) . He also dismissed a major issue we questioned, which was severe requiring further surgery when another surgeon came on service. The other two liver surgeons are better. I think some posters are confusing their stress/exhilaration of still being alive with thoughts that this man is the best that it gets

World-famed surgeon saw me within 4 days after MRI and Endoscopy plus FNA, gave a quick, clear diagnosis and prognosis, smiled, and set up follow-up. I was in excellent hands. Not a second wasted, full medical terms: treated me as a thinking adult. A+

I was sent to see Dr. Shapiro by my family doctor when I had a large Gallstone. Unfortunately when the letter was sent to his office he was on holidays and then booked full of surgeries, but I was able to see him within about a month or so. He was very professional, and yes, he was quite quick with his answers, however I didn’t feel that he wanted me out of his office or anything, he was happy to answer all questions I had. I was put on a waiting list for short notice required and was in for my surgery after about 2 or 3 weeks. My surgery was schedueled to be first thing, however he had a emergency surgery which bumped me back, however he did stay very late in the day to ensure all of his surgeries were completed, instead of re scheduling. I was a very nervous patient, and he was great, came to see me before my surgery and re assure me as well as after the surgery he let me know all was well. The staff at the hosiptal is phenomenal and his assistant Sherri, in the office is great too.

Our experience with Dr. Shapiro was wonderful. He has an incredible bedside manner. He was helpful and informative and very patient in answering all of our questions surrounding the potential living donor transplant between our son and myself. I felt as if we were in excellent experienced hands,trusting Dr. Shapiro with both of our lives. Thankfully we have not yet gone to transplant but our positive experience with Dr. Shapiro as we explored our options was memorable and noteworthy.

I was referred to Dr. Shapiro from SK and I received an appointment within one week and surgery was scheduled that same week. He was excellent – he answered all our questions honestly and treated me with the utmost respect and concern. I could not have been happier with the care I received.

arrogant and so full of himself, couldn’t get out of his office fast enough.
