Customer Reviews about Dr. Stuart M. Shapiro, DO

  I am a health care provider in Austin and an elderly family member was admitted to Seton Kyle for a severe ankle fracture. Dr. Shapiro was not notified until the next day and apologized profusely for not coming in immediately. He pulled up a chair and visited with her and myself (he did not know that I am a primary care provider), encouraging questions and visiting with us.This was on a Saturday and he scheduled the surgery for the next morning. The surgery went well and on follow-up she was healing nicely. The office staff were accommodating and I had one of the most positive experiences I have had with an orthopedist. Medicare reimbursement when compared to traditional insurance, particularly on a managed care plan, is very low so his kindness was not a result of anticipating making a large sum of money from her surgery. In fact, with the elderly there are many more risks in surgery, which increases liability and you are paid less, which is the reason many health care providers will not take patients on Medicare, particularly those on managed care.

  My experience was not good. Dr. Shapiro has the bedside manner of Dr. Mengele. I only make this particular reference because, due to my over weight and lack of activity due to an arthritic hip, he said "You never saw overweight people in concentration camps." I do not recommend this doctor.

  Dr Shapiro performed an anterior hip replacement on me in Oct 2014. It was his 13th procedure I believe. The surgery went very well and I was walking without support 2 days later (don't tell him). I highly recommend Dr Shapiro for that procedure.
