Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- February 9, 2023 Dr. Shapiro demonstrates a high degree of knowledge of cardiology--historically and evolving trends and treatments. His dialog not only includes specific medical information but he shows personal interest in the whole patient, including family and community. And it's clear that he enjoys living in Winston-Salem, City of Arts & Innovation, and participating in the community. Extremely generous in his offers to be available for family benefit.
