I have been a patient for 8 years. Her new location is beautiful and has free and convenient parking. It is not easy to find a dentist who is skilled and who does not drill for dollars. Dr Shapiro has taken very good care of my family and continues to earn my trust. I really like the care i receive here and would recommend her to anyone.

I've been a patient of Dr. Shapiro since she opened her practice in 2005, and I've always gone back to her because she is such a wonderful dentist. You'll be hard pressed to find a more skilled, friendly, and accommodating dentist and staff, from the doctor herself, her hygenists, and her manager, Maricela, they're all great people, and I'll be Dr. Shapiro's patient as long as she's in practice.
