- July 1, 2022 My family and I (3 sons, husband and myself) have been patients of Dr. Shapiro since moving to Greensboro in 1982. He has always been extremely attentive to each of us. Some years ago, a few patients and myself had cataract surgery on a week day. We had snow during that night and the next morning. Greensboro was basically closed down--schools, businesses etc. were closed. However, Dr. Shapiro came into the office on that snowy day to examine the few patients who had surgery the day before. He was there by himself, no staff to assist him. This is the uniquely dedicated doctor that he is!!!
