Ralph Shapiro, MD 15700 37th Avenue North, Plymouth, MN 55446

"This man has saved my life on numerous occasions. He is my guardian angel forever. I am very fortunate to be his patient. ♥️"

"Dr . Shapiro is not taking new patients . Even though my son was seen here from about age 10 to 19 . When he became very ill at 25 he was considered a new patient and can’t see Dr. Shapiro who has history with him . He saw Dr. Rasch to no avail ."

"Comprehensive, thoughtful, thorough and caring. I am so grateful to have him lead my care and be in my life."

"One of the only true Immunologists in MN and they happen to be wonderful Dr's, nurses and administration staff. At the same address but a floor up is Midwest Infusion Center which is where most of Midwest Immunology clients get their infusions. The building is relatively new, the parking lot is big but that building is so busy it can be hard to find a spot. There are only 5 spots dedicated to handicapped parking. The building has handicap access with a sloped sidewalk down to asphalt and there are buttons you press that will open the doors,which have wider entrances (at least that's what it looks like). Front desk staff is good, they remember you quickly and keep you up to date with booking appointments (wait time for 1st appt for me 10 years ago was about 4-5 months out and they are busier now so I would assume they are booking even further out than 5 months) which is important because they are booking out beten 4 and 6 months for an established patient. Nurse Nisha is the Best, very personable, easy to like and gets the job done efficiently with a smile. I saw Kristen Eplund for my first appointment. This first appointment lasted a long time, maybe just about an hour and 15-30 minutes. She goes over your entire health history from birth and she decides which labs to run. She is extremely through and pays attention to evergreen the smallest details. When you come back for your second visit you see a Dr of Immunology who tells you what disease(s) that you have, don't have and/or might have. You can expect this appointment and subsequent appointments to be about an hour and 15 minutes. I have only seen one of the Immunologists - Dr Shapiro. This is one heckuva Dr. - he is literally one of the best Immunologists in the United States. He's out of town frequently giving lectures and he participates in research, so I feel he is on the cutting edge, extremely knowledgeable. He's also so kind, explains everything to you until you understand it, he Likes challenging cases and will work with you to get you better, he likes it when I come up with things we might want to try for treatment, he's just open to any idea. He is always in a good mood, smiling and you can tell that he cares for his patients. The other Dr is Dr Jason Raasch and it's possible there is another Dr now, I can't remember. Even the triage nurse is kind here. She even answers the phone sometimes instead of automatically sending you to voice mail. Overall this clinic is 5+ stars!"
