- CGCaily GallagherOct 1, 20245.0Dr. 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.
- HCHeather CashNov 7, 20175.0Dr. 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.
- RLRick LaraSep 13, 20175.0I never felt like a patient, I felt like a friend with a caring professional who listened and cared about my symptoms.
- BKBarbara KaganMay 9, 20175.0I don't know where my health would be without Dr. Shapira. I have been a TMJ patient for 20 years. I had no idea that TMJ treatment can effect your sinus, sleep, and migraine health as well. Dr. Shapira has been a lifesaver for me more times than I can count. This past January we started DNA treatment which stands for Day and Night Appliance. The improvement I'm already feeling is incredible! I wear this new, comfortable appliance 12 hours a day-basically after dinner and while I sleep. It is expanding my upper and lower jaw which is going to correct my TMJ, open my breathing passages, and greatly improve my allergy and chronic sinus infections. It's mind-blowing how all of my medical issues are inter-twined with what Dr. Shapira treats. He is always on the cusp of the newest technology and treatments and many of his treatments offer instant relief. Dr. Shapira and his staff treat everyone like family. You couldn't be in wiser or better hands.
