Ira Shapiro has NO personal skills at all. He appears to be a good surgeon, but right from the start, our first visit, he somehow was able to show hearty disapproval of me, I know not why. His way of explaining that I had a growth on my ovary that needed to be removed and biopsied, was, "I'm afraid you have cancer." He did not bother to mention that with my family history there was not much statistical likelihood of that. He chose instead to use language that indicated without saying so directly that he thought I had cancer. And he's the expert, so what am I to think? He also had no capacity to explain the surgical procedure he was going to use, saying irritatedly that he didn't have time to explain 4 years' of medical school to me. On the day my father died, which was the day before my surgery, I came in to ask him some last minute questions, and I was very sad (mourning my father and thinking I might be on my way to dying as well, If Shapiro was right). He came into the office alone, stood over me (all 6'2" of him) as I sat on a chair, and pronounced me the most dysfunctional depressed person he had ever met in his practice. He was wagging his finger me in admonition! This is, as it happens, practicing psychiatry without a license, as I found out later. I never made a complaint against Dr. Shapiro because there was already too much to do to keep my business afloat and handle all the financial messes stemming from an expensive surgery that turned out to be NOT cancer, but a much more mundane and not fatal thing. Also after a complete hysterectomy, one is a little low on energy for awhile.
Short Story: Ira Shapiro is an adequate surgeon but a mean and socially unskilled man.
