Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr...I went to Dr. Shapiro over twenty years ago in Reno, NV. I had a breast lump that needed to be taken out and biopsied. Dr. Shapiro was so friendly and put me at ease immediately. Was never in a hurry. I was really impressed and liked very much.

I must say this place is the cleanest, most modern and chill place I have ever been to within this industry. I was blown away by all the details and immediately felt safe within their walls. The calm/chill music they have playing throughout the facility (even inside the surgery rooms) was everything and it kept me as calm as it could considering I had procedures done that I have never had done before so was a bit nervous. I would also like to add that their customer service is on point! You hear back from them immediately and Claudia at the front desk is super sweet and the Dr. Shapiro is very personable and makes you feel at ease. Along with the 2 amazing nurses there--amazing work they do. I was there in June--and as time often does during this pandemic, it got away from me so I am making my review now and I must say it seems the procedures are working. I have my follow up in a month or so, so fingers crossed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I have been suffering from vein disease since I was 19 years old. I met Dr Shapiro about 8 years ago. I had been to several doctors that specialize in vein disease. Each one told me the same thing, I needed surgery. When I met Dr Shapiro, he insured me that he could help me without surgery and he did. My legs have never looked better. He is the BEST!!! And I highly recommend him.

I am so excited to find the Dr. Shapiro Vein Clinic location in Lincolnwood! Walking into Dr. Shapiro’s office after I made an appointment, I knew I made the best choice. Dr. Shapiro, a phlebologist surgeon, and his experienced professional staff are kind, considerate, and care for your comfort. The clinic is sanitized and brand new with all the current high-tech instruments available. Everyone employed completed their COVID-19 shots. It is one of the most comfortable doctor offices I have ever entered. My insurance covered most of the varicose vein treatment. Before seeking my diagnosis from Dr. Shapiro, my legs were full of bulging veins, ugly spider veins, and a swollen left leg from the diseased veins. Both legs were in pain and felt heavy. My ankles were blue full of unsightly spider veins. I was embarrassed to show any part of my legs. Because I am a competitive World and National Masters Champion in Olympic weightlifting and do Cross Fit, these vein procedures give me the con

Im very dissapointed, my legs appearance is worse than before the procedure. Is been more than two month and there is no improvement at all in my legs. I would not recommend the spider vein treatment, does not work and not every treatment is done by Dr. Shapiro.
