Jeffrey R Shapiro, DDS, PC

The Doc is the best. His services are not cheap, in fact they are downright expensive… but dental work isn’t a place to be cutting corners. I give the Doc my highest recommendation.

Hands-​down the best dentist I have ever been to. Everything here is state-​of-​the-​art and Dr. Shapiro knows his stuff. He doesn’t practice dentistry from the early twentieth century like most other dentists, but can tell you about recent breakthroughs and new, less invasive, treatments. While it is true you will pay a bit more for the services, I can tell you from experience that it will help you to save more in the long run. After a bad experience with an in-​network dentist who told me that my only option was to have two teeth removed, I went to Dr. Shapiro on advice of a friend for a second opinion. He told me that the other dentist had rushed to judgment and told me about alternatives to extraction. I followed his advice and it saved my teeth.

I had used Dr. Jeffrey Shapiro for over 20 years. For long time he was one of the few dentists down there in the financial district where I worked. They have an excellent staff in the office, all very competent & friendly. The office itself is huge and beautifully designed. I always enjoy going there. Professionally all the dentists there are really at the top of the profession. I believe that Dr. Shapiro is still teaching at NYU’s school of dentistry.
On the downside, the office does not accept insurance. You pay right there. However they will submit the forms to your insurance company and hopefully your insurance company will refund payments to you directly if you have dental insurance. The other criticism I would have is that it is hard as hell to get into that building if you are a wheelchair user. You have to enter by way of a service entrance on a side street (Thames St.) and the sidewalk is so narrow your chances of getting a wheelchair down there is small. In any event due to the lack of wheelchair accessibility I had to change my dentist to one located further uptown and he seems to be extremely competent.

The staff is very friendly and the dentists are top-​notch. I am very pleased with my cleaning and my bonding. No one can even tell half of two front teeth are fake!
