• [redacted] I came in and I felt like I was met with a lot of pushback for what I obviously don't know are my allergy needs, but kind of also limited options. And I really wish she would have just kind of provided a little bit more empathy and trying to like really understand what my goals were and what I was trying to do. And unfortunately, I was not met with that and I left confused about next steps.

  2026-02-04

• Dr Shapero jumped to conclusions about me and my life which I found dismissive. She lacked empathy using terms like "it's just chronic disease -You need to continue living, and finding how you can best achieve your best quality of life, given what you have so far. And at the moment, we don't have answers." Dr Shapero had never met me before- she knows nothing about me. I felt totally unheard and she looked eager to finish up the meeting and get on with other patients. [redacted]

• I am extremely happy with the attentiveness of the provider. She listened to my concerns and was very clear on treatment

  2025-10-05

• I was very dissatisfied with my appointment with Dr. Shapero. She did not resolve two fundamental issues that I've been having with allergies especially one with my current work environment. She was free spirited about re-introducing foods that have caused serious adverse health effects. She later retracted and ordered a blood test instead After I left the appointment. I don't feel she understood personally my health, history and allergy history which has also resulted in anaphylaxis more than once. I have not been to medical school myself, but I feel she could've given more as a medical professional. [redacted]

• I really liked her service; she was very patient and said she would send a message to my baby's primary doctor. I just didn't like that only a visual assessment was done - no stool test was requested, nor any exam to check for allergies, lactose intolerance, or milk protein intolerance. So I felt it was lacking in that sense, because it was just a visual evaluation, and my baby still has the same symptoms and worsening skin issues.
