Everyone in the office is so nice and accommodating. I would recommend this office to all my friends. I’m usually pretty nervous to go to dentist, but they are all so calm and talk to you that it calms me down.

Dr. Shapiro is extremely experienced, professional, and knowledgeable when it comes to dentistry and patient care. The office and exam rooms are very clean and the equipment is up to date. The staff there are also very professional, friendly, and thorough with the care and services that they provide to the patients.

Dr Shapiro and his staff treat you like family every time I go in. Been going there for 20 years never a bad time always nice and friendly

Staff is professional and friendly

Very good and fast

Love Dr. Shapiro, Marty and the entire staff. We have been patients for more years than we can count. If you looking for a great dentist office this is the one.

The dental hygienist is certainly a skillful and wonderful professional. She is very thorough and extremely good with me. And Dr. Schapiro is an incredible professional in his field and treats me incredibly well. I believe I’ve been going here 18 years or so. And I know I would never go anywhere else.

Dr Shapiro and his staff are so professional and helpful. They make you feel at ease the Dr explains everything in detail and makes sure you are comfortable with his diagnosis. He puts you with his staff so you the patient gets to decide which procedure you want first. Our family would highly recommend Dr Hal Shapiro.

For over 20 years I have enjoyed the amazing customer service and top notch skills and knowledge of Dr. Shapiro and his wonderful staff. My daughters were the ages of 6 and 9 when we started seeing Dr. Shapiro and they are still patients to this day at 26 and 29. One of them actually flew from her home in New Jersey for her dental appointment because she couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else for her care. I’m extremely thankful to have found this gem of an office so many years ago.

You all are great there so friendly, I feel very Comfortable coming there.

We have been coming to you for over 25 years. Dr. Shapiro and staff are wonderful, and treat us like family. I like having the same hygienist when we come in. Dr. Shapiro reviews all our xrays and talks with us. They all make an unpleasant business palatable!! Thanks to all of you!!!

Everyone is always so friendly and professional.

Everybody in the office is great. Dr. Shapiro will never try and talk you into doing something you don't need. No selling you a procedure. If everything is good, that's it. Explains things and answers all questions. Marty is the best hygienist I've ever had.

As always, there is no waiting once you get there. With the COVID-19 issue that we are dealing with right now, the check-in process was quick and easy (including the call before I came to ensure that I wasn’t sick. Martin is very courteous and friendly. She is also thorough and thoughtful. I didn’t have a lot of interaction with Dr. Shapiro since I didn’t have any problems, but he is great at explaining issues. Great visit.

Very pleasant people in an efficient operation. All I can ask for in a dental visit.

Happy to be back and all of u are so professional as always. I hope all this corona stuff goes away soon and we’re back to normal. Stay safe and healthy!!!

I enjoy Dr. Shapiro and his staff very much. They are always so warm and friendly and Marty, the dental hygienist is the best!!! Sincerely, Melissa McArthur 😘❤️

It didn’t hurt

Did great

The office staff is always very friendly and helpful. Dr. Shapiro took the time to explain the procedure and to answer my questions.

Had a great experience. My hygienist was very pleasant and efficient with her work as always.

Dr. Shapiro repaired a slightly chipped front tooth. He repaired in such a way that it is completely natural looking. So pleased with the results! Six months ago he took two blackened bottom front teeth and replaced it with crowns. Again, so natural looking. Very very pleased with the results and with Dr. Shapiro‘s Work. 👍❤️😁

I truly appreciate Dr. Shapiro because he always takes time to answer my questions and thoroughly explains any procedures to me. The staff has always been so sweet and helpful as well, much thanks to them also. Sincerely, Melissa McArthur 😘❤️🙏

Saw they hygenist Marty. She is always the best! Does a great job, tells me how I'm doing in my daily oral hygiene care. I always leave her feeling like a million bucks!

Marti the hygienist is fabulous. She is thorough and gentle, efficient and careful. I’ve had my teeth cleaned twice a year for 50 years, she is the best hands down. Dr Shapiro has similar characteristics. He is knowledgeable, caring and competent. He gives practical advice and options for you to consider. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Everything like always!

Very friendly and professional

I was in for a teeth cleaning and the reception desk was very friendly and helpful the teeth cleaning went smoothly and everyone was friendly

Very professional and friendly. Dr. Shapiro has been my dentist for over 20 years. They are good, friendly people and very good at what they do. Dr. Shapiro has always been about the best treatment, not the most expensive. He has my best interest in mind and I appreciate that.

Been with Dr. Shapiro like forever. Best dentist I've ever been to and will continue. Thanks

I have been a patient of dr. Shapiro’s since the mid 90’s, we’ve been through a lot together from deep cleanings, my periodontal period of suffering through 4 surgeries, teeth extractions in preparation for my braces, my “metal” period on the road to straight teeth, and my visits for my cleanings and check ups. The whole team has been wonderful and I can’t see myself going anywhere else! Don’t ever leave, Dr. Shapiro!😁👍

The hygienist did an excellent job and Dr. Shapiro was meticulous and, as always, explained everything as he worked.

Always feel so welcomed and everyone is so friendly

I appreciate that Connie called (wait, was it Anell?) to see if I could fill a cancellation. Sarah was wonderful and confirmed my suspicions that I was the highlight of her month regarding dental hygiene. The new space is fabulous. Missed Dr. Shapiro but I would want the same attention if he were working on my teeth.

I didn't sre the dentist but I loved the hygenist!
