Dr. Salon is very nice however, I feel that the doctor is not forthcoming with information about my eyes. I have to ask about my progress if I know the right questions I probably know the answers. I would like him to talk to me face to face I don’t want to look at the back of his head.

Dr. Shakin is an excellent doctor who really cares for patients. I’ve seen him since June 2018 who detected something in my right eye which is under control. He also highly recommended me a Surgeon Cataracts who is great and caring for his patients. I definitely recommend both.
