Save your money. If your goal is to get a JAK inhibitor, you may not need to travel to see this specialist. A local dermatologist may be able to discuss and prescribe the same medications.
I scheduled this consultation expecting a comprehensive evaluation of my alopecia areata and a detailed discussion of the different treatment options available. Instead, my experience was that the visit was largely focused on recommending a JAK inhibitor from the start, and I was given a sample medication. While some risks and benefits were discussed, I do not recall a discussion of certain serious warnings that are included in the prescribing information… cancer !
First, I think it is very unfair to give a bad review to a doctor because he doesn’t take insurance or his office staff are not very efficient!!!Secondly, Reviews should be for the doctor itself. How much knowledge he has and how efficiently he was able to address the patient’s issue!!Lastly, this doctor is very knowledgeable and experienced. As a patient, that is ALL I need to know.

I met Dr Shapiro for a consult today What a nice doctor. Funny intelligent and knows everything about hair loss even to counting the hairs on my head. I will start his treatment and see him again in November. The office staff was so nice. I am claustrophobic and the office manager rode down on the elevator with me Who even does that Well she did. Wonderful office. I am very thankful.
