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 has done an amazing job
I had emergency surgery by Dr Shapiro for a perforated colon. I was very ill and the trauma team saved my life. I spent 30 days in the hospital and then 30 days in rehab. As I was improving there was a second surgery that needed to be done. Dr Shapiro became my quarterback and arranged all the calls with my various doctors to make sure I was ready. The surgery went great and I’m on the road to complete recovery. Dr Shapiro has not only been a great doctor but an amazing cheerleader. Thank you Dr Shapiro.
