After moving new to the area, I've begun my dental search, my first was lack luster. Dr. Shapiro was not upfront with his costs, as I sat in the chair he ice picked my skull it felt like, and was by no means gentle. My last hygenist at least took the effort to floss my teeth for the routine cleaning, Dr. Shapiro took no such preventative maintanence but charged my beacoup $$$ for minimal treatment. I would advise against. On the positive the office staff was very upbeat and friendly, and was ready to assist in any way possible.
bottom line, when the dentist has opening the week you call be wary. ; ) Seemed like Dr. Shapiro was out after the $$$$$ rather than giving you what you actually needed.
