What Patients Say
Dr. Shapiro came highly recommended as one of the very best in the entire U.S. for my cataract surgery. Dr. Shapiro, his staff, and facilities are all first rate. I’m so glad I’m having my surgery there.
–Robert G.
Dr. Shapiro and the A&S staff are fantastic. I've been a patient of Dr. Shapiro since I was 17 and met him during an emergency visit due to a serious eye injury. I've trusted my eye health to Dr. Shapiro for over 30 years. The care I receive from the well trained staff at A&S has been exceptional from the front desk, to optical, and throughout the medical staff.

Dr. Shapiro and the LASIK procedure staff were welcoming, attentive, and put me at ease before, during, and after the procedure. Absolutely awesome experience. And: how amazing to be able to see without contacts or glasses. Would highly recommend.
