Dr. Shapiro listened and didn't feel like he was rushing through anything. Really considered the best path forward while being mindful of not wanting to do the most invasive tests first. Felt very comfortable with his course of action and that we will try other things if that doesn't work.

I highly recommend Dr David M. Shapiro for those experiencing GI issues. He is a Phenomenal Health Care provider. He was welcoming, friendly and professional. He took the time and truly listened to my concerns. He thoroughly explained his recommendations and suggestions for my plan of care to address my issues. I have the utmost respect for Doctors and healthcare professionals who possess top notch communication skills and demonstrate the ability to genuinely care and listen to patients. I have a very long commute from Indiana yet, he is worth every mile and minute to know that I am receiving excellent services under his care. Thank you Dr Shapiro.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
