Dr. Shapiro was my Angel. I came to this facility expecting to hear the worst. However, Dr. Shapiro gave me the best care and news I was praying for. So kind, so caring, such a professional in her craft. A true and loving care giver with her Professionalism, her Passion, Pride in what she does, and with her loving personality. A true asset to Cooper MD Anderson. I can't thank Dr. Shapiro enough for her evaluation, and for making my heart happy again. It was as if the world was taken off of my shoulders. Thank you, Dr. Y Shapiro, Thank you a million times.

My son needed an xray so we were sent across the street to get it done all at once rather than scheduling another appt with was helpful. In addition to that, I mentioned to my son that I felt bad for not thinking to bring a snack for him and a staff happened to over hear me and offered my son a small snack, which was so nice of them and unexpected. The doctor helped me to understand the steps needed to best help my son

I felt like the doctor and the nurse that are, or whoever helped us beforehand, were very kind. They seemed to care, which was not something that I felt like I received in the past, so I'm definitely gonna be coming back, because I felt like the service was very good, and I felt like the doctor was excellent, the nurse was excellent.

Dr. Shapiro has been a life changing doctor for me this last year. She continues to provide the highest level of care and has guided me through a cancer journey that at times has been hard and overwhelming. She is always focused on my long-term health and does everything to ensure the best possible outcome for me. And, as it relates to the mental health aspect of my cancer journey, Dr. Shapiro certainly displays genuine and sincere compassion and spends time assisting me emotionally as I continue to process my cancer journey. Dr. Shapiro, aka Dr. K., is truly the best of the best. She inspires me to always push hard to stay strong and healthy.
