Jeffrey B Shapiro, DMD

Centrally located, clean, nice people, and excellent technology! Now all you have to do is floss!

Dr. Shapiro is wonderful, I go to his office for cleanings and have had 3 gum grafts done over the years in different spots. All have healed well and while it’s never a fun procedure, he always makes me feel calm. Wonderful to have someone to go to that can fix what’s wrong and chill me out at the same time.

If you are in search of a skilled, experienced, and good-​natured periodontist, Jeffrey Shapiro, DMD is the one to see. Recently discovering that I was in need of gum surgery, I set out looking simply for someone that took my insurance. What I found was this and so much more!
Jeffrey Shapiro, DMD was recommended to me by a family member who had had several procedures done at this office. After my first consultation, I was convinced that I too, had made the right choice in my care. Dr. Shapiro examined my mouth in detail, checking not only the areas noted by my primary dentist but any other potential problems as well. In discussing my case, treatment options were presented along with reasonable rationales for course of action. He was sure to review the benefits and risks of the procedure and thoroughly explored my concerns and questions. As a medical professional myself, I highly appreciated this detailed review. In knowing specifics regarding treatment time, recovery expectations, procedure cost, and the like, I was able to make an informed decision about how best to fit my visits into a busy schedule.
Never a big fan of dental work, I was a ball of nerves walking into the office on procedure day. The team working here at this office though do a wonderful job to help ease the stress associated with their trade. From the welcoming receptionists to the helpful and competent support staff to Jeffrey Shapiro himself, I was generally at ease as I settled in for the procedure. Dr. Shapiro explained everything step by step so I knew what to expect throughout the entire thing. All in all, I was out of there in no time. My follow up experience has been equally as pleasant and though I wish to not have to return again in the future, Ill know exactly who to look for if needed.
