The staff is so warm and friendly, the pediatrician and pediatricians assistant are so knowledgeable that I learn something new every time I come.

Even when we needed after hours support they are always right there to call you back And give you the direction and guidance that you need. If you are looking for a pediatrician in Portsmith hands-down they are the ones.

First time meeting him, Dr. Shapiro rolled in and ripped into his staff about the music. I cheerily…read moredefended "Oh, I love AC/DC". Shapiro then complained about his office space. I told him I thought it was nice and he explained that he is moving. Then he condescendingly said, "Oh, you are very red. Do you know what that is?" Staying friendly and positive, "Yes..." He retorts, "Oh, well you seem like the type of person who is going to tell me how to do my job." He went into doing tests like "push against my arm", etc. I was having trouble following his verbal instruction (I'm a visual learner). I joked, "I'm red, so I am bad at following directions." He said, "I know". He dragged me into a different room for scans, XRays, and tests. I explained that I have a very high deductible insurance and am nervous about extraneous costs. He was very salesy. He told me if I enrolled in one of his made up programs he could fix me over a year. He adjusted me for like 1 minute in a 45 min appointment. Dr. Shapiro is very unprofessional and has a holier-than-thou attitude. Very narcissistic. I hope his young staff members and patients also realize they deserve to be treated better. Buh bye.

Between the receptionist and the provider, there is a severe lack of basic customer service and patient empathy. My primary care provider, Sarah Boyatsis, was condescending and judgmental during our appointments. At one point, she actually became visibly frustrated with me for not remembering specific lab results--information that I, as the patient, was looking to her to explain. The administrative side is equally disappointing. I called to get clarity on a medical charge that I believed should have been covered under preventative care. Instead of help, the receptionist was rude and dismissive. When I asked for a follow-up call for more detail, she backtracked and told me to 'just pay the bill' because anyone else would tell me the same thing. People visit a doctor for care and support, but here I felt like an inconvenience. If you value clear communication and a respectful environment, I suggest looking elsewhere.
