Dr. Shapira unlocked my jaw and eliminated 80% of my severe TMJ pain by the end of the first visit. I've been to many doctors and never, before or since, have I been so positively impacted by a doctor. He is kind, funny, and absolutely enthralled with his work. You can tell that he cares deeply about the outcome of each of his patients. Since the first visit I've flown back to Dr. Shapira's office several times. My wife and I agree that it's the best money we've ever spent.

At the first visit I could instantly tell he had superior knowledge about my issues than other doctors I met with previously. He was open and honest about my condition, the long treatment

I don't know where my health would be without Dr. Shapira. I have been a TMJ patient for 20 years. I had no idea that TMJ treatment can effect your sinus, sleep, and migraine health as well. Dr. Shapira has been a lifesaver for me more times than I can count. This past January we started DNA treatment which stands for Day and Night Appliance. The improvement I'm already feeling is incredible! I wear this new, comfortable appliance 12 hours a day-basically after dinner and while I sleep. It is expanding my upper and lower jaw which is going to correct my TMJ, open my breathing passages, and greatly
