Well, this doctor is unbelievably sweet. She has many years experience, too. I had a 20 cm ovarian cyst removed by her 2 years ago. Additionally, she had a lovely Pakistani student doc taking care of me. Anyway, I waited for 4 years to get this removed. However, I only agreed to having it removed because of the wonderful and lovely Dr Shapter convincing me that not having the surgery would be dangerous. This doctor is an angel from heaven. Dr Shapter, thank you.

I was taken to the ER with massive hemorraging. No gynocological issues before. Dr. Shapter was on call and did an excellent job of diagnosing and supporting me as a patient. I was given answers to all my questions, and made a partner in decisions. This was an entirely new experience for me, I am usually very healthy. She helped me to understand and get more information so that I was not passive during the entire process. My surgery went extremely well, and my incision was a work of art! I like that she is conservative, and thinks through options before she acts. I couldn't have asked for a better gynocologist/surgeon if I had sought one on my one.

I went to Dr. Shapter for a 2nd opinion relating to a gyn problem I was having. When he was unable to pinpoint or describe the problem with any certainty, my previous doctor's last comment to me was, "You're in a tough spot. I don't envy you."

Dr. Shapter's secretary was wonderful over the phone. She fit me into the schedule very quickly. And then Dr. Shapter. She was SO nice. So easy to talk to. She listened to me, let me ask questions, answered ALL of them as many times and as many ways as I needed until we were both satisfied that I understood. She looked at my previous records, ordered new tests, reviewed the results personally and asked her own "preferred" radiologists for their expert interpretation as well. She CALLED me at HOME with my results, to find out if I had any more questions, and to discuss what our next steps should be.

To me, Dr. Shapter was a "partner" in treatment. She was interested in me and protective of me. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of.

I cannot recommend this physician more highly. My only wish is that she could be my primary care physician as well as one of my specialists. :)

If ALL physicians were like Dr. Shapter, the world would be a much happier, healthier place.
