My son needs to see a urologist and was refered to Dr.Shapiro in Sacramento by our regular pediatric doctor. When I called the office today to make an appointment, the lady was really short with me on the phone. She told me I had to call back in two weeks just to set up an appointment. Has anyone gone to him? He is the only pediatric urologist in our area, but I would like to hear what some of you experiences were, good or bad. I've heard they take a really long time to be seen, but also that he is really good. Thanks for your help.

What can I do next?

Dr. Shapiro is the best urologist in California. I work at Sutter memorial as a secretary and i see him alot. my son also had to go to him.. it is a long wait to see him.. but you can get checked in and then go out to dinner or what not and they will call you when your room is ready. its not to bad as long as you are aware you will be waiting at least and hour in a half to see him.. but your son will be seeing the best doctor there is. he really cares about his patients and is always so proud of the work he does. and he is so sweet to the nurses also.. He will explain everything to you that is going on.. if your son has to get surgery you will get a full explanation of what is going on and what he will do during the surgery.. Trust me you don't want to see anyone else but Doctor Shapiro for your son.. your son will be in the best care possibly from a doctor...
That is my advice, experience with him... I have worked (well i'm a secretary at the hospital but i still talk to him) and my son has been his patient. so i have had some experiences with him... Good luck with it all...

I work at a pediatric clinic and we frequently reffer patients to dr. sheppiro and does take a while, but he is one of few ped urologists and the best, and to make another appointment has to be done by your pediatrician other wise you will be eaiting for months. Good luck

My dr went to dr shapiro when he was 4 he is now 10. When he gets really upset the left side of his face droops he thought it could be bells palsy he referred us to an Ear nose throat specialist who said it wasn't bells palsy but didn't know what it is.It still happens and we have never got any answers. My experience with dr shapiro was that he was very short, matter of fact hardly spent any time with us, I feel he has no bedside manner but I have heard from others that he is the best? I hope you get some answers.....T.

I have Kaiser Permanente and I had to see a Urologist when Caydence was a couple months old. The pediatrician set up the appointment for me and the Urologist was very nice, but I can't remember his name. Sorry I'm not much help.
