Appointment was great! He took my concerns seriously and was very patient with all my questions. My knees felt better just after 45 minutes with him.

Dr. Shapiro was very professional and communicated excellently on my diagnosis, treatment, and timeline. While I was very eager to get back to exercising, Dr. Shapiro explained the importance of recovery and showed me techniques to better prevent me from having the same issue in the future.
His staff also did a great job at explaining what my insurance would cover and what my out of pocket would be as a patient.

Dr Shapiro is fantastic. I have been seeing him for ongoing back issues I've had for as long as I can remember. He sends outlines of the exercises we go over which is helpful for when I work on them at home. He has made me feel comfortable from the begining and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of PT
More than 1 year agoAmy L.Verified patient
Across every medical profession, I have never met someone like Dr. Shaprio. Great at identifying the problem, providing solutions and working outs to improve. Very good at explaining what each treatment did or what the exercise was addressing. 10/10

Dr.Shapiro was truly one of the best physical therapists I've ever been too. He is extremely knowledgable and professional. Every visit I walked out feeling great and felt confident in his assessments of my injury. He provided me with great at home exercises and piece of mind.

Dr. Shapiro was excellent, didn't have to wait at all for my appointment to start. He was very clear in concise about what the problems were and immediately came up with a plan of action including home exercises. Highly recommend.
May 21, 2019Joseph S.Verified patient
He is excellent
February 14, 2019Matthew C.Verified patient
Honestly I was beyond happy! I injured my knee and right away he asked me question and actually listened to my answer and the next question was always based on my answer. He tried different exercises and stretches based on my strength and pain. And something I absolutely loved was there was no rush even though it’s just an hour. The whole hour felt very well spent based on his expertise and him seeing and feeling my limitations. Overall I will definitely be making another appt.
January 29, 2019Lesly B.Verified patient
Dr. Shapiro is amazing and one of the nicest human beings! I destroyed my calf muscle a bit over a month before a huge race and he was able to get me up and running again in time to complete a half marathon! Will work with your schedule and treats you like a human being. Would highly recommend!
September 28, 2018Caitlin B.Verified patient
Very friendly. Thorough and Knowledgeable. Dr Shapiro fixed a recurrent tendinitis which was preventing me from running for months. It was always a pleasure to go to PT and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

I switched to Laksman Shapiro from my old PT. I've only been once so far but he's great and spends a lot of time figuring out the issue and deciding the best course of action. I will definitely keep going to him.
July 18, 2018Therisia M.Verified patient
Dr Laksman Shapiro has been super helpful in helping me recover after some neck pain due to a work out injury. The office hours allow me to go early in the morning before work, and they even have late hours some nights. The treatment has been a mix of electrical stimulations on the muscles, massage therapy as well as some workouts that are strengthening the neck.
I look forward to going every week!

May 23, 2017Jake W.Verified patient
Dr Shapiro recently treated me for tendonitis in my wrist. He and his team were very professional and engaging; and genuinely cared about helping me resolve the problem as efficiently as possible. Dr Shapiro always took time to ask questions about how my wrist was feeling at each appointment, and the treatment was very effective.

I worked with Dr. Laks for 6 weeks, 2-3 times a week, rehabbing a running injury. He worked magic! I went from barely being able to hobble around with a cane to training for a race in 6 weeks. He listened to me, gave me excellent advice, and designed a program that had me back in my running shoes in no time. I can't recommend him highly enough.
