I'm a new patient of Dr. Shapiro's but I feel like I've known her forever. She is welcoming, patient and thorough, she listens and asks appropriate questions. I started seeing her for a significant problem and she is working diligently to correctly diagnose and treat me, and she's having great success, thank God. Her office is clean and peaceful and her staff is welcoming and friendly. I recommend her 100%, every woman deserves the type of care offered by Dr. Shapiro. read more

Top notch doctor, surgeon and human. Takes the time to know and help patients beyond what most doctors offer. I highly recommend Dr. Shapiro. read more

Apparently having pain in my uterus and abnormal bleeding is not considered an 'emergency' during this time of COVID quarantine...so much as though Dr. Shapiro BLOCKed me and for reasons I guess I shouldn't go to urgent care now since it is a 'non-emergency'. I have to agree with the yelp reviews about her blunt "insensitivity." Her immediate response to blocking me was totally unnecessary and I would have felt better if she just simply ignored my kind inquiry. She was obviously intentional about this. read more

Shapiro Katie A MD - Pain and sadness... - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Daly City, California

Dr. Shapiro is AWESOME! I was sad to find out she no longer delivers babies since she helped me along the journey of getting pregnant, but she is the best gynecologist! She is so patient and really takes her time answering questions and explaining ultrasounds. Her staff, Veronica, Bridget, Brianna (hope I'm remembering everyone's names) is absolutely lovely, they're so kind and take the time to follow up with you and are super friendly on the phone as well if you call in with a question. The office location is great, located at Seton with ample parking. read more

So attentive and thorough! Great and caring! Puts patient health above all else, follows latest guidelines, and is well versed in new technology. Really appreciated the caring advice to get a cancer gene screen given a new cancer incident in my family Dr Shapiro also gave me a thoughtful referral to follow up on another health concern that's been on my mind Coming out of Dr Shapiro's office: I felt assured, that I'm in good hands, that Dr Shapiro can help guide me through the healthcare system to get the right preventative care without any anxiety. Happy that I found such a great gynecologist! read more

I haven't seen Dr. Shapiro in a couple of years - but that's partially on me and part due to the fact that she did such a good job with me as a surgeon. I came with a complicated case in my mid-40s after another OB thoroughly screwed me over during the delivery of my third baby. Others tried to fix my problem with birth control pill. It wasn't working so I came to Dr. Shapiro. True, she asked me some serious questions given the way I spoke about the previous doctor that messed me up for life (without revealing the details here). She asked if I would be spreading rumors about her if I decide that I don't like the way she way she treats me. I assured her that I am not the litigious type. Anyway she did a procedure for me that got me off the pill for good and, knock on wood, the problem has not returned! I also found out that she did the same surgery for other women who came to her because she operates with an anesthesiologist unlike Kaiser that does the same surgery under the local anesthetic only. When I returned for a follow up visit, she confused me with someone else and tried to tell me that she already showed all the images to my husband right after the surgery and explained everything to him when we knew for sure that she didn't. She may not have the best bedside manner, but what's more important to you: that someone kisses your behind in the office or a specialist with knowledge, exceptional skills, and a lot of experience of where to apply that knowledge? read more

Profound Disappointment After being a patient of Dr Katie Shapiro, M.D. for over eight years I was profoundly disappointed to discover that her first priority is making money, and then subjugating patient care as an afterthought. I received two letters from Dr. Shapiro, M.D. office reminding me to make my annual OB/GYN appointment. As a cancer survivor, I am acutly aware of the importance of follow-ups. My scheduled appointment was April 24th at 3 p.m. Unfortunately, I needed to reschedule this appointment due to a left hip pulled muscle while doing Physical Therapy on a recently replaced left hip. As noted earlier, I had a complete left hip replacement on February 28, 2018 and when I contacted my surgeon regarding the pulled muscle pain, he instructed me to rest my left hip and ice it and NOT stretch it until the pain subsides. I called Dr Shapiro's office on April 23rd at 9:15 a.m. to reschedule. I was shocked to be told by Dr Shapiro that I would be charged a cancellation fee of $45.00 since the time frame was less than 48 hours and she would not be able to find a patient to take my appointment time. In the 8 years that I have been a patient with Dr. Shapiro, I have NEVER missed an appointment or cancelled one. I have missed an appointment with another physician I have seen and was told that there is a 24 hour cancelation fee but since I have never missed an appointment I would not charge for the first missed appointment. And, it that case, I actually missed the appointment... I am terminating my patient/physician relationship with Dr. Katie Shapiro's office as I respect myself too much to allow a physician who has making money as her first priority rather than the well-being of her patient. read more

I agree with all the negative reviews. One of the worst OBGYNs I've ever had. She's blunt, insensitive, non-personal, and most importantly, doesn't have the right bedside manners. BEWARE!!! read more

I agree with all the negative reviews. This doctor is one of the worst OBGYNs I've ever had. She's insensitive, blunt, disrespectful, and most importantly, doesn't have the right bed side manners. BEWARE!!! read more

I'm not sure if I caught her on a bad day based on these previous reviews, but Dr. Shapiro was extremely rude, insensitive, and rough with me when I went to visit her a few years back. She started off the appointment by making me feel very uncomfortable by speaking to me in a condescending tone, almost like she had something against me. During the examination she was really rough and the process was pretty painful, and this was not my first time being examined so I know its not "fun" but it was by far the worst examination I've ever had. She felt something abnormal and started telling me to calm down and relax in her mean tone which of course made me really relax :-/ When she researched a little further she found a cyst but referred to it as a tumor, which I now know in medical terms really is a tumor, but you tell that to a 24 year old girl, I thought I had cancer!!! When I asked her if she meant a tumor as in cancer, she said it might be...jeez thanks a lot for scaring the crap out of me. Turns out ovarian cysts are really common but at the time I had no idea. As soon as the appointment was over, she told me her office manager would schedule an appointment for me to have it removed. She said that the size of it was rather large so she preferred to do a full open surgery rather than do a laparoscopic procedure. I went for a second opinion since I had such a horrible feeling from her and 2 other docs told me they could do it the less invasive and less painful way, one of which was a Stanford doctor. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 was because she followed up with me at least 10 times, not sure if it was because she wanted to do the surgery since I have good insurance, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she actually "cared". I'm sure she is competent but as far as I'm concerned, that's only one half of the qualifications for a good doctor. If you have choices, please don't go here. Find someone else. read more

This review is long over due. I have been meaning to write about my wonderful experience with Dr. Shapiro and her staff. Dr. Shapiro has now been my ob-gyn for the past couple years and I must say that I feel I am in great hands. She takes the time to go over results with you, shows empathy and care if I have concerns, her and her staff are courteous and professional. They are efficient with scheduling and getting you in and out of the office within reasonable times. Of course situations change depending on what you're in for or other circumstances. Nonetheless my experience here has been wonderful and I definitely would refer Dr. Shapiro. read more

I needed to see an ob/gyn for a pap and found Dr. Shapiro through my insurance. Her staff was very kind to find an appointment time around my busy schedule. Dr. Shapiro is very thorough, attentive and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. I'm very happy to find an ob/gyn that is able to explain everything to me and truly cares for my well being. Thank you, Dr. Shapiro! read more

Not a very good experience. Wont be recommending. Needs to be a little emphatic with patients concerns. Direct to the point but feels like she doesnt want you to be there. I have to express my concerns because believe all patients needs to be treated the proper way, and follows up,not letting them go. read more

I love Dr. Shapiro. She is professional, attentive, intelligent, and considerate. She has been my doctor for about 4 years. I am very excited and confident to have her deliver my first baby in August. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Shapiro for years. She is wonderful, smart and knows her stuff. She is careful and cautious (which is what you want when someone is handling your reproductive system). I have never had any problems having insurance cover her fees and her office staff is very helpful. She recently treated a friend who didn't have insurance and charged very reasonable fees. Great doctor. read more

Dr Shapiro is a wonderful, caring, and thorough doctor.She greets all her patients prior to surgery, even at the behest of other staff.I met her at the ER when another OB-GYN suggested a hysterecomy. Dr.Shapiro implemented another less invasive plan with my organs intact. She will argue for the benefit of her patients, and recommends the best of her considerable knowledge. Her staff is polite and thoughtful but do be aware of the 2 day plans to cancel to avoid fees. read more

I've seen Dr. Shapiro for 3 years. She is a very competent doctor. She goes out of her way to to accomodate my wholistic approach to health while maintaining medical ethics. I highly recommend her. read more

I was being followed by the UCSF fibroid clinic for 3 years. All of a sudden, they quit seeing patients who had fibroids unless they were having issues. Nevertheless, you still had to be "screened" by another GYN before being seen in the fibroid clinic. Because I wasn't having any gynecological "issues" I could not be seen, thus had no idea what was happening with my fibroid. Needless to say it was growing. I went looking for a new GYN and was fortunate to find Dr. Shapiro. She is more than just competent; she is professionally superior to my other GYNs and has a great bedside manner. Dr. Shapiro has a wonderful sense of humor, is easy to talk to and she really hears what I am saying. Her listening skills are excellent. She has performed 2 procedures and 1 surgery on me and I wasn't amazed at all that every one of these went so well. It is apparent she keeps up-to-date with her medical skills, knows the latest procedures and how best to treat what ails you. I'm a demanding patient and she has always been there to calm my nerves and explain all options of treatment available and makes her recommendation. TAKE IT! I didn't and had to go back for a surgery. You can trust Dr. Shapiro. She is kind, caring, considerate, and a compassionate physician. You will not find another doctor who cares about you and your health than Dr. Shapiro. In addition, her staff is just as wonderful. They are efficient, kind and know their stuff. You couldn't ask for better people. read more

I saw her a few years back. She's very personable to her patients. She gets 3 stars because she is helpful. Although if your in transitioning from insurance to fee based, her attitude changes dramatically. This happened to me and her whole attitude changed once she knew my insurance was running out and I still needed to see her for a followup appointment. All I needed to know at that time was how much my appointment would cost, so that I could simply have the money to pay for it, when I came in for my next appointment. This situation was a huge disaster for me and she made me feel horrible for being concerned about the amount of money I would have to pay. Needless to say I advocated for myself. I got the amount for the appointment in the end. I showed up for my next appointment, she was by then rude to me. Overall, I got what I needed to get done and I paid for it. I have NOT gone back to her since, even with insurance. The situation could have been handled differently. I hope she learned from this situation and handles it differently in the future. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Shapiro since 1990. She delivered all three of my children. I have found her to be extraordinarily competent and thorough. My best recommendation comes from the fact that when I was at Seton Hospital, delivering my second child, I found out that all of the OB nurses on the shift had Dr. Shapiro as their personal doctor! They work with dozens of OBGYN's and are probably some of the very best people to judge a doctor's empathy, skills, decision making and overall effectiveness so I thought that was a very good indication of what a great doctor she is. I am her biggest fan. read more

I've been with Dr. Shapiro for over 15 years. She is very professional, kind and gentle. During surgery she has a very caring and warm attitude with her patients but remains focused. Overall I highly recommend her. read more

After my initial poor review they sent me yet another bill for the exam itself. I paid $320 bucks for a 'routine' pap smear I was goaded into, this was supposedly an 'in network' doctor. read more

Dr. Shapiro took very good care of me. She is a wonderful doctor and I would recommend her to everyone!

I've been seeing Dr. Shapiro for four years and find her to be the best OBGYN I've had. She takes takes time to get to know the patients and explains medical issues clearly. She isn't overly eager to prescribe medication but does so when necessary. She helped me get my cycle back to normal after stopping birth control and saw me through getting pregnant. When I had what I thought was an emergency question on a Sunday night, she personally returned my call. Dr. Shapiro has been flawless in her judgment and I've always felt comfortable listening to her advice. I highly recommend her. read more
