Very professional and friendly and understanding. Knowledgeable. Thanks again!
Listened and answered my questions
There was no communication. No greeting at all. No comment about how much or if my perscription had changed. Showed no interest in my concern that neither of my two glasses from Ocala Eye worked for reading/desk work. She said often people taje off their glasses to read! But the ALL the other Tech.s were SUPER. Caring and very professional. And Brandi wss so patient and courteous, bending over backward to help me find frames that worked for me.
Very professional, very detailed in exam and results -will request her for my next appointment. Thank you Deema
excellent.
Very nice. I was confused when I was told a form would get completed for the dmv but then she didn’t fill the form out until another test was completed although I was told that eye glasses weren’t needed. If I’m told one thing but then another thing happens opposite of what I’m told that causes confusion. But other than that I found this doctor to be professional and very courteous.
Gracious and thorough
Clear concise and thorough exam.
Dr. Shaath was professional and thorough. My surgery was very successful and my overall experience was impressive.
