I was impressed with him. Although, the fact that there are barely any office hours makes it impossible to continue therapy as recommended.

Dr. Shapiro is definitely one of, if not the best doctor I've ever seen and I've seen many. He was very friendly, performed my EMG himself, and was thorough. He's well above average.
