I'm 83, getting some extensive dental work done and hate pain. The combination of helpfulness by Colleen and the clear intent of Dr. lanzi to make the experience pain-free made the quite long work much easier and helped alleviate the fear i had. Being confident that your dentist wants you to experience no pain is probably the #1 concern I and many others have about getting this kind of work done, The people who ended up helping me with coordinating the billing and my insurance did a good job. Thanks to the kind of dental services i received, i recommended them to a neighbor friend and she was very happy to know of them and plans to go. I had tried 'cheaper' places for my dental care and one that wasn't so cheap where the dentist was fine but then the assistants did the work and that was really lacking. It feels good to finally feel satisfied that i'm in the right place for my dental care. Patricia Winchild

I am usually one of those that looks at reviews but on every platform because there is always two sides. Shapiro Family Dental has truly been my first comfortable Dental experience grime the minute you walk through the door you can feel the energy. The staff is very pleasant they work cohesively like a family. My friend also went with me and had the same experience. The Dentists, dental assistants and the Hygenist Dee are super gentle explain every single thing to you in full detail. My friend needed more work than me and honestly compared to other dental offices she has visited Shapiro Family Dental is very reasonable. So I say Thankyou for ending my fear which in my 55 years no one has been close.

After having my wife exit this office in tears 4 times i decided to post her review. This Dentist…read moreoffice is like going to a bad used car dealership. Once you sit in that chair the "upsell" begins. If you have insurance they will find a way to squeeze cash out of you for some extra service that is not a necessity. They are lazy with follow up with submitting to insurance companies with treatment plans so be prepared for that frustration, And speaking of insurance, KNOW YOUR COVERAGE because they will tell you things aren't covered that really ARE covered in hopes you pay cash for it. Who needs that aggravation? Once you turn down one of their upcharge services they cop an attitude like you are stealing from them. This is the most nasty unethical dentist office i have ever seen. Run from this Fort Pierce office! Update:****** So my wife had an appointment today after this review, as she was sitting in chair with bib on, awaiting dentist, the office manager comes in with the above review printed and confronts my wife. That about sums up the level of unethical professionalism from this office staff 2 Response from the owner7 hours ago John - We do not tolerate yelling at our staff in our office and as result of you and your wife's behavior, we asked you to leave. If you are not happy with the fees quoted from your insurance company, then please contact them directly, as we only charge the contracted fees given to us by your insurance company. We hope that you find a dentist in the area that better suits your needs. Happy Smiles, #teamshapirosmile Counter Response: Add Dishonesty to your many faults: Lie number 1) You came in while my wife was in the dentist chair waiting for dentist for 20 minutes with a printed copy of my review left and came back after another 20 minutes and said "The Dentist will not be seeing you" So you asked my wife to leave because of our honest review. When my wife reached the Lobby yes voices got raised by my wife, myself AND YOU the office manager and was directed at no other staff For the 3rd Time we drove 25 minutes to walk out of there with no services being performed. Lie #2 We ARE happy with our great Insurance company coverage, We are NOT happy with your shady practices of saying things aren't covered and will need cash payment for things that are covered. a few examples( The mask during pandemic you wanted $15 saying insurance didn't cover, Insurance covered $10.00. Told us Bone graphing wasn't covered in an extraction procedure and would require a cash outlay, Bone graphing IS covered fully, I can list 4 more incidents) This is the Office manager not doing her job and instead of ever saying "oh i'm sorry, i got the wrong information" she morphs into a nasty disrespectful person and tries to blame the patient. OH we HAVE contacted our insurance company directly! That's how we caught you in your racket to squeeze cash out of Patients. The office manager at this Fort Pierce branch of Shapiro Dentistry is an absolute train wreck and should be terminated from her job, she is eventually going to get them Sued. Besides just not doing her job she is a blatant liar as reenforced by the response to my initial review. The dentist chair is a place for surgical procedures and should be respected, not a place for some unprofessional office manager to come storming in and shoving a printed copy of a review in a patients face. I suggest you self reflect on your poor office conduct or one of the following agencies might help educate you in changing your horrendous attitude https://floridasdentistry.gov/help-center/how-do-i-file-a-complaint/ https://www.ada.org/resources/practice/practice-management/dental-board-complaints
