Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance. Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit. 

Prescriptions and refills for established patients of Dr. Shapiro are routinely issued during our regular office hours (see above). You can make your request by calling our office at (941) 365-0655. No refills are issued during the evenings, weekends, or holidays, as the doctors do not have access to your medical records during those times. It is helpful to anticipate your refill needs to avoid an interruption in your medication therapy.
