This was my first visit, but I found her to be very thorough and inquisitive as trying to find out what the root cause of my concerns are looking forward to getting a resolution to this issue
Very capable, smart and thorough
Very good Dr and she's through and takes the time to let you ask the questions you wank .there should be more people like her
Knowledgeable, thorough and efficient, yet personable with me as a patient. Also, the practice operation is well organized.
Excellent to work with. Professional, efficient and personable. Her support team are terrific to work with. Many thanks.
Dr Shaath was kind and answered my questions. However, although I had a 905 appointment it was 945 before I was called back to begin my treatment. Not okay.
She answered my questions and was friendly.
Very good eye exam!
Very informative about what was happening to my eye, She answered all of my questions and was very thorough with the exam. Highly recommend Ocala Eye and all of their doctors.
She didn’t review my records that were sent. My other doctor showed me ultrasound pics on computer screens and pointed out how my eyes are pre-symptomatic of glaucoma. This doctor was friendly but quick to send me off. Seemed unconcerned. Told me my eyes are fine. I’ve had 4 other specialists over the past 10 years tell me otherwise. She asked me why I was there?? She did not look at my records that were sent which the receptionist confirmed were received. I am disappointed in the lack of attentive healthcare from this doctor.
