    The Dr is awesome its the support staffing and logistics that is a disaster. There seems to be a lot of staff working hard to not provide meaningful communication.

    Dr. Shapiro makes me feel comfortable - he knows that I am a wimp and that I especially do not like eye exams. I have confidence in his ability and expertise. And he is friendly without being excessively so.
