Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Shapiro?
Excellent. I saw him because another MD thought I had glaucoma. I did not at this time. He explained everything to me, using photos of my eye and printouts of my eye pressure .I have to be followed. I trust him and will continue to use him. He is thorough and truly cares.
