  Dr. Shapira has changed my life. I was hesitant to come here, as it's quite expensive and out-of-network, but my only regret is not coming here first. I'm amazed at the difference his treatment has made in my quality of life, and I didn't even realize how much time I spent thinking of my facial pain until I experienced its absence. I've seen specialists at Northwestern, Rush and Diamond Headache Clinic, ranging from neurologists, ophthalmologists, orthopedists, pain clinicians, physical therapists and beyond -- all who eventually gave up and told me it's "anxiety" or "just something that happens with age" ( at 25 years old). Dr Shapira is the only Dr who has offered any meaningful relief or explanation. He is upfront about the commitment and prognosis for each treatment option and not at all pushy. He suffered from terrible facial pain himself and it's clear his only goal is to help others find similar relief.

  Dr. was a no show! The office was closed and waited for 30 min. Called their answering service and they took my info and it's been 4 days and no response! I even emailed them asking how he didn't show up to an appointment they scheduled and no answer yet. A waste of time and extremely unprofessional.

  When I came to Doctor Shapira I was at the end of my road with severe TMJ pain. I went to many doctors and somehow no one could solve my problem. After many months of research I found Dr. Shapira's website. I was hesitant to make the appointment due to the distance I would have to drive and feeling hopeless, but after being astonished from watching all the testimonials on his website I thought it was worth a shot. At the first visit I could instantly tell he had superior knowledge about my issues than other doctors I met with previously. He was open and honest about my condition, the long treatment plan, and the high cost of care. Although this information was intimidating, I finally knew what the saying meant "health is wealth", life is not worth living in constant pain and discomfort. Therefore, I decided to proceed with his treatment plan. 1 year later I can honestly say that it has been the best money I have ever spent. I am about ~80% better and I will hopefully continue to improve over time. The constant clicking and popping of my jaw is gone, I have normal range of motion again, and most importantly I am mostly pain free. Not only is Dr. Shapira one of the best and most knowledgeable practitioners I have encountered, he treats you like family and is honestly one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I never leave his office without learning a fun new fact. He truly cares about his patients and work. You can tell he loves what he does. I can't recommend him enough if you have TMJ pain/issues.

  Dr. Shapira is an amazing and kind dentist. He also specializes in mouth appliances so you do not have to use a cpap machine. He is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited.
