Reviews
Besides the excellent treatment she provides, Dr. Shapiro educates and guides her patients how to achieve and maintain good oral health.
I like the flexibility of Dr. Shapiro's office. I can go in for treatment and get my teeth cleaned in the same appointment.

My gum disease has caused some damage over the years. I have had several surgeries with Dr. Shapiro and although initially I was afraid, Dr. Shapiro's care, gentle demeanor, and excellent surgical skills made that fear subside. They do a wonderful job with everything from all the surgeries to routine cleanings.

She works to educate her patients on good oral health techniques that they can do at home and then supplements them with her periodontal work. She follows-up to make sure you are doing well and truly cares about her patients.

I was very nervous before going to see Dr. Shapiro for the first time, but she made me feel very relaxed. My surgery was painless. She is by far the best periodontist.

I received excellent care during my procedures and felt as if I was in the best of hands. The professionalism impressed me, it was displayed by all in the office!
I like that Dr. Shapiro has always been both accessible and professional. I am not a medical professional and everything she does is explained thoroughly first in a way that I can understand. Everyone in the office is always cheerful and this helps me stay calm and relaxed.
