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.
I have been a patient of Dr Shapiro for many years and would not hesitate to recommend him highly. Professional, courteous and thorough.
I have been a patient of Dr. Shapiro for 23 years. I have diabetes and require visits every 6 months. After each examination Dr. Shapiro thoroughly explains the results. He also compares my current condition to previous results to determine if any changes occurred. I am the type of person who asks a lot of questions and he patiently addresses all of my concerns. I have never felt rushed . The staff is friendly and have always accommodated me when I needed a same day appointment.
I’ve been coming to Dr. Shapiro for years and he is a wonderful eye doctor. Every question I’ve had regarding my vision and eye health is always answered and making an appointment is very easy, everyone in the office is extremely friendly and I’m very happy with my experiences here.
I highly recommend Dr. Shapiro to everyone in the Long Island and NYC community. Dr. Shapiro successfully treated me for a torn-retina which i received playing sports in 2011. Dr. Shapiro has demonstrated to my satisfaction knowledge, professionalism and expertise in treating all my eye conditions.
I accompanied my mom to an appointment with Dr. Shapiro. I was extremely pleased with how he interacted with his patients especially my mom. He explained everything his was doing and why. He answered all of our questions and we didn't feel rushed. Very caring. I felt at ease about my mother's condition and course of treatment. Highly recommend him.
I've been going to Dr. Shapiro for two decades but my last experience with his office has been purely awful. There was a discrepancy on my prescription for my contacts and when I tried to get some answers they a) didn't return my call until two days later and b) said I had to come in for a second vision test. I called them within the hour to follow up with them only to find out that they were gone away for vacation and won't be back in a week. I thought it was extremely unprofessional.
Business response:
Had Michele picked up her contacts in a timely manner rather than months later, any problems could have been resolved quickly. Instead, her delay made a small problem into a larger one. I asked her to return for a new refraction to be sure that her prescription hadn't changed. As for complaint about the timeliness of our response, I make no apologies for going on vacation. A problem that could have easily been resolved months before, suddenly became urgent.
Terrible just terrible avoid at all cost if you're under the age of 70. Doesn't accept credit cards, tries to force you to order contacts through his office, 1 hour wait time consistently. Been dealing with this guy and terrible business practices and customor service for far too long . Trust me just avoid.
Business response:
The comments made by Mr. Joseph are inaccurate at best. Healthgrades states the average waiting time in my office is between 15 and 30 minutes yet he claims to routinely wait an hour. As for the statement that I force patients to buy contact lenses from me, it should be known that such a practice is illegal in the New York State. I routinely ask patients if the want us to order the lenses for them. If they want to go elsewhere, I write a prescription for them,
