Sofia Shapiro, MD

Meet Sofia Shapiro, MD


With nearly two decades of experience practicing internal medicine in South Orange and the neighboring Essex County communities, it has been my privilege to build a personal bond with many of my patients. One of the most valuable resources I have as a physician is the time I can spend with you - enabling me to deliver optimal care tailored to your needs. Through trust and understanding, I hope to become a better advocate for your current and future health in my MDVIP-affiliated practice.

My style is deliberate and warm and my approach comprehensive and thorough. Beyond managing illness, I am passionate about designing wellness care that emphasizes cardiovascular health and preventive medicine. As a female physician, I also have a strong interest in women’s health.

Over the years, I have developed close, professional relationships with many local specialists that share the same philosophy as me. My affiliation with Saint Barnabas Medical Center further expands this network for meeting your unique needs. Through proactive and integrative practices, my goal is to maximize your health and wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Journey To Health

from Jimmie L in NJ • March 28, 2020
Dr. Shapiro cares about her patient's health. I was on blood pressure and cholesterol medication. She coached me on how to change my eating habits, exercise and lose weight. I listen to everything she advised me to do and now I am off all medications. This journey to good health definitely a positive one.

Dear Dr Shapiro

from Michele in NJ • March 10, 2020
I was a patient of Dr. Shapiro for some time. However when she joined MDVIP I decided to change doctors. I missed her so much i had to return. She is amazingly knowledgeable on most issues. She stays on top of all my specialists so she has a complete picture of my health. But more than that, even before MDVIP, Dr. Shapiro really knows her patients and all that affects them.

I am very fortunate to be part of her MDVIP practice.

from Barbara • October 14, 2019
I was a patient of Dr. Shapiro before she joined MDVIP and have always found her to be compassionate and thorough. She has helped me find Specialists for gastrointestinal issues, knee pain, and, most recently, she referred me to a Urogynecologist to address long-standing urological issues. In each case, the Specialist resolved my issue. Dr. Shapiro stayed on top of my case throughout. I had a Read more...
