Patient Reviews
Sep 15, 2023
I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Richard Shapiro and the staff at Langone for many years. Dr. Shapiro is not only a distinguished surgeon with unparalleled expertise, but also a caring and empathetic doctor who has treated me and guided my family and I through a very difficult time for me. From the moment I walked into this office for my initial consultation to my follow-up appointments post-surgery, Dr. Shapiro displayed the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion that one could hope for in a surgeon. My family and I are very grateful to Dr. Shapiro.
