| Dr.
Elaine Shapiro was brought up in New York City on Pelham
Parkway in the Bronx. She attended Queens College. She was
accepted in podiatry school after completing only 3 years
of college. Following the years of study at the California
College of Podiatric Medicine, she attended an externship
in surgical residency at Northlake Illinois.
Her goal from almost the first day of podiatry school was
to attend a residency, which was considered in the late
'70's, as the finest surgical program in the United States;
i.e. Northlake Community Hospital, Northlake, Illinois.

After
completing her surgical residency at Northlake, she was
given an opportunity in 1982 to join a practice in Tucson
with a Pediatrician who had heard of her work in Illinois.
In 1989 she decided to become a sole practitioner and opened
an office on the northwest side of Tucson in the Ina Medical
and Dental Plaza.
In 1991, Dr. Elaine Shapiro became Board Certified in Podiatric
Surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, the
most highly recognized board in podiatric surgery. During
the same year she became a Fellow of the American College
of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. |

Dr. Shapiro was one of the first to be certified in laser
surgery,as well as the heel spur procedure: Endoscopic plantarfasicotomy.
As a result, Dr. Shaprio observes many surgeons who wish
to perform these types of modalities at local hospitals
in Tucson. She was also asked to be chairman of the laser
department of podiatric surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital
for the Laser Centers of America.
