April 11, 2025Flordeliza M.Verified patient
For years I'd been suffering from ingrown toenails, and thank God, he placed an angel in my path after seeing many podiatrists. Dr. Marcus Shapiro is the angel God sent me. Today March 13. was my first appointment. He examined me, listened to me carefully, and explained the procedure to resolve my ingrown toenails. I was nervous, but Dr. Shapiro is very professional and a very humorous and friendly person who made me feel good. He performed the procedure. I barely felt the injection, and thank God I'll be able to rest from my ingrown toenails. I highly recommend him 100%. He's a very compassionate doctor with a big heart. Thank you, Dr. Shapiro. God bless you. March 3,2025. A. O
