There is no honor greater than that of being an educator. Dr. Shapiro is humbled to hold the title as Director of Aesthetic Surgical Training for the Mayo Clinic Rochester Plastic Surgery Integrated Residency Program, a division of the medical center which is consistently ranked as the best hospital in the nation.

Dr. Shapiro,The Director

In 2016, Dr. Shapiro was recruited by Dr. Samir Mardini (the current Chief of Plastic Surgery at Mayo Clinic Rochester, and a world-renowned microsurgeon and face transplant surgeon) to be the Director of Aesthetic Surgical Training. This decision was based upon Dr. Shapiro’s long and distinguished career, having performed many thousands of meticulously executed cosmetic surgical procedures with consistent and enviable results.

This opportunity allows 5th and 6th year plastic surgery residents to travel from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to our practice for a three month rotation. During this time, Dr. Shapiro educates them on all aspects of cosmetic surgery, including the development of an artistic aesthetic perspective and astute surgical judgment, along with the nuances of patient interactions and care.

In addition to their studies in our private practice, Dr. Shapiro makes several trips a year to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN where he is able to spend time with his residents in a cadaver lab. During these trips, teachings are aided by visualizations and instruction where Dr. Shapiro’s expertise in facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty procedures are able to be practiced first-hand. These studies are what lay the foundation of the aesthetic surgeons of tomorrow. His trips otherwise consist of resident graduations and lectures as a Visiting Professor.

Recipient of the “John E. Woods, Teacher of the Year Award”

Dr. Shapiro is especially honored to have received the “John E. Woods, Teacher of the Year Award” in 2018, an honor given each year by the residents to the plastic surgical instructor that had most impacted their training over the course of the last 12 months.

Giving back to the international community

There are many altrustic opportunities that present themselves through our partnership with the Mayo Clinic. It is with humble honor that Dr. Shapiro is invited to travel yearly with select Mayo Clinic instructors and plastic surgical residents to international countries to treat a high volume of patients with cleft lip, cleft palate and pediatric deformities. During his last trip, Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Mardini and their team were able to operate on more than 45 children. The incredible impact that these acts of kindness have on the children and their entire families cannot be overstated, and the entire experience provides valuable and life-changing experiences for everyone involved.

The teaching position at the Mayo Clinic Rochester Plastic Surgery Integrated Residency Program is a very important aspect of Dr. Shapiro’s life, and he cherishes the relationships and personal bonds that he has forged with residents and attending’s alike, with the ensuing professional collaboration that elevates the entire field of plastic surgery.

Practice Policy Update Regarding COVID-19

Dear Patients:

Your safety is our number one priority. Please know that we join our community in taking advised precautions to limit the spread of the Coronavirus. For the time being we are planning on continuing practice as usual, with some additional precautions.

We have always routinely wiped down our office and patient exam chairs with medical-grade sanitizing wipes. We will expand this to include door knobs, toilet and faucet handles and will have hand-sanitizer available to you at check-in.

No staff will be allowed to come to work with a cough or fever, or if they have had contact with anyone with confirmed Coronavirus. We kindly ask for the same considerations from you. If you have any flu-like symptoms or have recently traveled, please call the office to reschedule your appointment.

We appreciate your flexibility as we will be limiting routine follow-up appointments over the next few weeks and ask patients to not bring friends and family members to their appointments to avoid the amount of patients we have in the office at one time. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please call and let us know.

Sincerely, Daniel Shapiro MD, FACS
