Testimonials


Testi "I had the works done. This included a Facelift, Endoscopic Browlift, Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty with Canthopexy, Perioral Dermabrasion, and Permalip Lip Augmentation with Lip Lift. I also decided to add a Bilateral Breast Augmentation. I considered surgery at age 40 and again at age 50, but I always found an excuse to NOT have the surgery done due to fear of the results. Talking to Dr. Shapiro, however, gave me the confidence I needed to actually have the surgery. The staff was so upbeat and helpful in answering all my questions and calming my nerves. The surgery was as simple as Dr. Shapiro explained and the healing went well, but I was more impatient with myself than I should have been. I now look about 20 years younger and, according to my husband, have my beautiful blue eyes back again. I didn't realize how old I looked until after my surgery and I reviewed the before and after pictures. Dr. Shapiro did wonders in removing wrinkles I didn't realize I had. I'm also thrilled I decided to add the breast surgery. My husband says my figure looks more balanced and my clothes fit better and give me a younger, sexier look. Another fun advantage to my younger, sexier look is that my husband and I feel like we are young lovers again. Talk about money well spent!!!"


Testi "All I have to say about Dr Dan Shapiro is he is an Artist. He takes what you have and enhances it. It was money so very well spent. The down time was short, only one week. I feel ten years younger after my face lift. I got it early enough so it was not a big change that anyone would really notice. It looks and feels so natural. Everyone in the office can not be more helpful and nicer. On the whole everything was as good as it gets. I would recommend Dr. Shapiro for any procedure. He is great and very caring. Thank You to Dr. Shapiro and your staff."


Testi "Dr. Shapiro is an amazing plastic surgeon, and by far and away the best surgeon in Scottsdale. He gave me the look I thought I could never have! In addition, he is up to date on all the latest techniques and procedures. He truly cares about his patients."


Testi "I became a patient of Dr Daniel Shapiro's 15 years ago when he did my blepharoplasty. The results were fantastic as evidenced by compliments from my co-workers and friend who weren't quite sure what was different about me but assured me I looked fantastic. My only regret was that I hadn't done it sooner. Ten years ago he performed a tummy tuck and a breast lift with the same superb results. I had referred several friends to him who were also extremely pleased with their results. When I decided to have a face and neck lift, Dr. Daniel Shapiro was the obvious choice. His skill combined with his artistic talent and vision always produces phenomenal, natural results. His caring attitude combined with that of his staff, allow you to relax and enjoy the process with the knowledge that you are being well cared for. With my face and neck lift, Dr. Shapiro suggested we do fat injections to add a more youthful fullness to my face. The results have far exceeded my expectations. My husband cant stop starring at me because I honestly look 20 years younger. My dentist, who was so amazed by my results, asked for Dr. Shapiro's number for his mother. Research confirms that he is one of the leading plastic surgeons in the United States. My personal results speak louder than words and they are shouting, Unbelievably fantastic!"


Testi "My facelift surgery with Dr Shapiro produced excellent results. I had a facelift some years ago with another Scottsdale plastic surgeon. I speak from personal experience when I say there is truly a difference when it comes to plastic surgeons. My previous facelift left me with some negative effects, such as unnatural looking ear lobes, visible scars and a stretched, pulled look to my face. Dr Shapiro took the time to explain why my face looked "fake" from the previous surgery I had performed by another Scottsdale plastic surgeon.Not only was he able to explain what had happened, he was able to correct someone else's work during his surgery. Dr Shapiro is truly a talented, experienced and knowledgeable plastic surgeon. He was able to give me back my self confidence by returning my face to a natural, more youthful appearance. I genuinely appreciated his down to earth personality. No arrogance was experienced with this doctor. What a refreshing experience to get fantastic, quality results from a truly friendly,caring and warm surgeon. His staff is very friendly and professional. If you are considering a facelift, this is the doctor to go to. You definitely will not be sorry."


Testi "Dr. Shapiro is an amazing doctor with an impeccable eye for perfection. I decided at 50 years old, after having had my children in my early 20's, followed by years of unwanted fat that accumulated mostly in my abdomen, back and thigh areas, coinciding with the unwanted sagging breasts, that I wanted to make a change and make myself look and feel better. It was a decision I made along with my husband after doing much research and taking the time to talk with Dr. Shapiro and his staff about the procedures and all that goes with surgery and the healing time. Dr. Shapiro takes his time to make sure his procedures are explained and understood. The Vaser Lipo was remarkable and the results are noticed immediately. The breast lift and augmentation is fantastic and am very happy that I decided to do the vaser lipo, breast lift, and augmentation at one time. I would refer Dr. Shapiro at anytime and to anyone who is looking to enhance or improve their appearance. The money was well spent!!!"


Testi "My breast augmentation at Shapiro Plastic Surgery was money well spent. I wish I would've had the surgery 10 years ago. I was never satisfied with my size. It was something I thought of daily. I am so happy with the results of my surgery. I feel beautiful and it looks very natural. Which is what I was wanting. Dr Shapiro did a wonderful job. The staff was very friendly and Dr Shapiro was very professional. I felt comfortable through the entire process. I didn't have any bruising and very little discomfort. The experience was better than I expected and I would do it all over again. I couldn't be Happier!!"


Testi "The experience of my face-lift exceeded my expectations in terms of results of the procedure, aftercare and ongoing support. My reasons for choosing Dr. Shapiro he understood how I felt about aging; he studied my teenage and early adult photos to understand the structure of my face; he had a recovery center for overnight stay. Having a refreshed face has changed my life!"


Testi "I am so happy with my breast augmentation preformed by Dr. Daniel Shapiro!! I went to several consultations with reputable plastic surgeons in Scottsdale. I knew right away at my consultation with Dr Shapiro that he was the doctor for me. He took the time to explain the procedure and recommended the perfect size and shape for my body. He also took the time to listen to my expectations and didn't try to persuade me to go bigger like other doctors I met with. The office staff was very knowledgeable, caring and accommodating. They were always available to answer my questions before and after the surgery. I absolutely love my new boobs!! He went above and beyond my expectations!"


Testi "From the moment I walked into the office to the actual surgery, I was impressed with the professionalism and support that I was given. I was interested in a facelift and was nervous to have someone work on my face. I consulted with a few other surgeons in the area and could not make a decision as to who I should choose. After meeting Dr. Shapiro my nervousness was diminished. I was made to feel comfortable and secure during an anxious time. He truly is an artist. I have never felt better about myself."

Testi "Thrilled beyond thrilled is how both Pat my husband and I feel about what you have done for me. I am so happy that I want to shout it out to the world. I want to tell everyone about Dr. Shapiro! Dr. Wonderful! Because it was my face, I did have trepidation going in to the procedure-after all, it was elective, and I didn't hate my face-I wanted to look like myself but without the extra 'baggage' brought by age and life's challenges. But WOW, now the clock is turned back, plus I (hopefully) still retain the wisdom that comes with age. I had felt as though I was looking really tired, no matter how much rest I had, but now honestly, not only do I look so much better outwardly, but I feel like a million bucks on the inside. My confidence has soared, and any thoughts that having this surgery was vanity have vanished from my mind-there is so much more to it, I feel fantastic By having this facelift done, I made one of the best decisions of my life because after all, we girls still have another whole lifetime to live! And choosing you Dr. Shapiro to do the procedure, I made the best decision because you are a true artist. You took the time to discuss every detail with me; you wanted pictures that I liked of myself so that you could refer to them, you listened to what I wanted, and you made the subtle yet amazing changes that allow me to look in the mirror and see myself only BETTER! You care so much about what you do, which makes all the difference in the world. I am so grateful to you and would recommend you to anyone."

Qualifications

Dr. Daniel Shapiro is a renowned Scottsdale cosmetic Surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and has been practicing cosmetic surgery in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley Arizona area for over 16 years. As one of the busiest cosmetic surgeons in the Phoenix metropolitan area, he brings a wealth of experience to his practice, having personally meticulously performed thousands of aesthetic surgical procedures. His aesthetic vision and surgical expertise has made him one of the most sought after cosmetic surgeons, constantly improving and evolving techniques introduced to him during his plastic surgical residency at the prestigious New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center in New York City where he finished his formal training in 1992, after being mentored by some of the most famous and gifted cosmetic plastic surgeons in the world.

This unique exposure to extremely discriminating plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and the patients who travel the world for such expertise, left a lasting impression of both uncompromising surgical technique and compassionate patient care that Dr. Shapiro has continued to strive upon to this day. While in Manhattan, Dr. Shapiro was fortunate enough to also train at the Memorial Hospital Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where he learned the most sophisticated and advanced cancer reconstructive procedures with special emphasis on breast and facial aesthetics. This extensive training, with a foundation based upon 6 years of General Surgical Residency, resulted in Dual Board Certifications in both General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, which Dr. Shapiro achieved in 1990 and 1995 respectively.

Upon returning to the Phoenix metropolitan area in 1992, Dr, Shapiro initially performed a combination of post-cancer reconstructive surgery, post-traumatic reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. His continued desire to master facial, breast and body cosmetic surgery techniques led him to foster relationships with other gifted cosmetic surgeons in Los Angeles and New York to bring the most innovative, yet proven surgical techniques to his patients in the Scottsdale / Paradise Valley area. This expertise motivated Scottsdale Healthcare in 1993 to appoint Dr. Shapiro to assemble and lead a multi-discipline team to treat a Bosnian war victim transferred from war-torn Bosnia to Scottsdale Healthcare for facial reconstruction following a sniper bullet injury to the face.

After multiple complex reconstructive surgeries, this patient returned home with renewed confidence and optimism, and was able once again to interface as a complete person. With similar empathy, Dr. Shapiro has also traveled to Columbia in South America with Heal The Children to donate his services to those unfortunate enough to suffer from congenital deformities and traumatic injuries without exposure to adequate health care.

With the experience of many thousands of cosmetic surgery procedures, Dr. Shapiro has continued to tailor his Scottsdale area practice, specializing in aesthetic/cosmetic surgery of the face, nose, breast and body. His practice includes entertainers, news anchors, celebrities, models and business executives from both national and international origins, and his before and after patient photographs are often showcased as exemplary results in many national publications.

The common thread of his patient population is their desire for spectacularly natural surgical results performed in an environment of uncompromising patient safety and confidentiality. Dr. Shapiro has participated in a televised Extreme Makeover, and is honored that he was named Best Plastic Surgeon by Scottsdale Magazine in a reader's poll regarding the best of the Phoenix / Scottsdale area, along with being selected as a Top Aesthetic Surgeon by the Consumer Research Council of America. Dr. Shapiro is listed as a VIP member in Cambridge Who's Who, and as past President of the Maricopa County Society of Plastic Surgeons, his surgical skills and clinical judgement are often sought after for his utilization of the latest proven advances in technology and innovations, combined with his unwavering commitment to patient care.

Dr, Shapiro and his wife Lisa have two children, Sophia and Dalton, and are very involved in the community through a variety of charitable causes including the American Heart Association, Home Base Youth Services, Arizona Foundation for Women, Scottsdale Healthcare, Florence Crittenton, and Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS.
