Professional, Friendly, and genuinely cares about her patients. Perfect experience. Thank you!
Been seeing doctors for years begging my to use distance glasses and suddenly with blurred vision I’m 20/20?
Great visit!
The initial eye exam and the Dr. examination were very thorough. The only downside to the visit weas the 20+ minute wait for the initial exam and the 20+ minute wait to see the doctor. What should have been a 1 hour eye exam visit turned into over 2 hours. All the Ocala Eye personnel I interfaced with were professional and courteous.
Explained the findings in a manner I could understand. Easy to talk to.
On time, thorough, pleasant and very affordable in a modern hi tech office!
She was very personable and comforting. I especially liked how she took time to thoroughly examine my eye and to explain to me what she was doing.
Dr Shaath was patient and listened carefully. She was very helpful in making me feel that my condition was not serous and with patients would resolve.
She is very thorough and professional.
I thought I was scheduled for a tear duck surgery analysis, she doesn't do the surgery, gave me a card a doctor in Gainesville. Cost me $ 35.00 for nothing plus my time.
