“Dr. Shapiro and his staff are among the best medical practitioners I have ever encountered. I am writing this review on behalf of my wife, Luisa, who recently (8/11/16) had surgery performed by Dr. Shapiro. My wife and I both agree we would recommend Dr. Shapiro to our friends and family in a heartbeat! Background: Luisa has a history of dental issues. More specifically, as long as I've know her, she has worn a removable prosthetic bridge with two fake teeth on her upper right jaw. Our dentist recently diagnosed an infection in the bone above the tooth next to her two missing teeth. The infection was in the jawbone above a tooth (#12 tooth) that had previously had a root canal and crown on it. Our dentist had suggested that we extract this number 12 tooth and build a new prosthetic denture (to add a 3rd fake tooth). We were referred to Dr. Shapiro to get a second opinion consult in the search for a best solution. During our consultation visit with Dr. Shapiro, we liked his suggested, more permanent solution as follows. We would still extract the damaged number 12 tooth and clean out the infection. Then, insert 2 implants into the area of the now 3 missing teeth, and then install a permanent 3-tooth crowned bridge onto the two implant posts! Surgery: On the day of the surgery (8/11/16), my wife was quite nervous about having this periodontal implant surgery; very natural pre-op anxiety. But when we arrived at Dr. Shapiro's office, the people there (Tracy the office manager, Alba the surgical assistant, and of course, Dr. Shapiro) were very warm, kind, and compassionate. With their reassuring demeanor, I saw my wife's anxiety melt away even before entering the treatment room. I was allowed to join them in the treatment room during the surgical procedures as well. From the moment my wife received her first shot of Novocaine, she NEVER felt even the slightest amount of pain or discomfort. As I listened to Dr. Shapiro's kind words guiding her though the procedure, I was extremely impressed with his level of compassion and also his technical skill/expertise. As I watched him working, he kept explaining every step of the procedure to my wife, and kept asking her how she was doing throughout the entire procedure. I consistently watched my wife give him the "thumbs up" in response to each of the Doctor's inquiries! When the surgery was complete (tooth extracted, two implants inserted, bone graphing tissue in place, internal sinus lift as well), my wife had no pain whatsoever!...but she was still completely numb. Dr. Shapiro gave us simple, straightforward instructions to let us know what to expect for the rest of the day, and for the upcoming days to follow. My wife took 3 Advils (Ibuprofen) when we got home (she was still numb). Hours later, as the Novocaine wore off, she took a half of a pain pill (prescribed by the Doctor) and fell asleep in the late afternoon/early evening. She woke up around midnight, no significant pain, took a few more Advil, and went back to sleep. *** BTW, the Doctor called us on my cell phone in the late afternoon just to check up on Luisa's status...I was amazed that a Doctor actually called us at home...now I want all my doctors to call me at home to check on my status; what a concept!!! In the days that followed, Luisa never really experienced any pain at all! Since the surgery, she has still taken Advil as directed by Dr. Shapiro, but she has not needed any of the prescription pain pills at all...amazing. Now, my wife needs to wait about 4 months to allow the bone to "fuse" with the implants. Then, back to our regular dentist to build the permanent restoration crowns. Soon, Luisa will never again have to hassle with her removable prosthetic, she is so happy about her more permanent solution thanks to Dr. Shapiro's insight and expertise. Thank you Dr. Shapiro (and staff)...happy wife, happy life! :)”
