I have never had any medical issues prior to this surgery, I'm grateful for the attention I received by Dr Glen Shapiro and His staff, the surgery was very successful and the recovery too. The ability to transmit security and trust to the patience is very important , during my visit prior to the surgery Dr Shapiro was able to do that .
