“Another great experience with Dr. Shapiro. Matter of fact, direct talk about the diagnosis and treatment options. Once scheduled, the procedure was seamless at Bahamas surgery center, and right into PT at SCOI. The progress to getting back to 100% has been significant. This is my third injury treatment regimen with Dr. Shapiro. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Good experience. Dr. Shapiro knowledgeable and explained everything I needed to know for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. His staff was all very nice and Carrie Alejandra, his P.A., was excellent. I never had to wait more than 15 - 20 minutes for appointments, which I genuinely appreciate. I am doing great and would recommend Dr. Shapiro and staff to anyone needing shoulder surgery.”
– Patti M.
“Dr. Todd Shapiro and Carrie Alejandro, PA make a great team. Even when the necessary resistance tests didn’t show a problem, they agreed to an MRI to double check. The MRI proved a small tear in the rotation tendon of my left shoulder. I respect any doctor and PA who listen to their patients. They compliment their effort to provide excellent care for their patients.”
