What patients say about Dr. Shapiro

  • "He is extremely thorough and caring at the same time."

    I met Dr. Shapiro who during our initial visit had a lot of ideas of what my issues could possibly be and formulated a strategy. He then not only ran tests on his own, but gave me referrals to other doctors who work on the upper and lower digestive tract, a pelvic floor specialist as well a nutritionist who have all been necessary in helping resolve my GI issues.

    He discusses all possible ideas causing pain and the resolutions as well as treatment plans. He is extremely thorough and caring at the same time.

    —Lora W.

  • "He made us feel very important. "

    5-star experience from start to finish. Dr Shapiro shut his computer down and just talked; what a change. He made us feel very important. His diagnosis was also a huge success. I’d recommend Dr Shapiro every chance I get.

    — Karleah L.

  • "He spent a long time explaining everything about my problem and how he was going about treating me."

    Dr. Shapiro was the best doctor I have seen in many years. He spent a long time explaining everything about my problem and how he was going about treating me. I have been to many doctors over my 74 years and Dr Shapiro is at the top of my list. I would highly recommend him.

    — Steven S.

  • "The best doctor! Highly recommend"

    The best doctor! Addressed every single one of my concerns and truly cares about the well-being of his patients! Highly recommend.

    — Samantha S.

  • "He was the most wonderful caring physician I have ever met ."

    After seeing multiple positions and having multiple procedures a son case was accepted as an undiagnosed network for the national institutes of health and we were referred to Dr. Jordan Shapiro. He was the most wonderful caring physician I have ever met or ever known in 35 years of nursing. If you ever have a problem that you can’t seem to be fixed he’s the physician to go to. Love Dr Shapiro!

    – Julie B.

  • "He is one of those great physicians who spends time, listens, and thinks outside the box. I am so glad to have found him! "

    Dr. Shapiro is a rare find. He saved my life by doing a thorough colonoscopy and finding my stage IV colon cancer which is now in remission for 1 year. I have sent my entire family to him. He is one of those great physicians who spends time, listens, and thinks outside the box. I am so glad to have found him!
