Dr Shaken is very thorough. He explains everything in layman's terms
Dr. Shakin truly treats his patients like family. He’s not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but he also prioritizes your well-being, never recommending surgery solely for financial reasons. You can trust him completely.

It was my first visit to Dr. Shakin office. I have to say I was very impressed how organized, professional, and courteous the staff was. Dr. Shakin took his time to answer any of my questions or concerns. The office was very clean and modern. He will be my retina specialist from this point on and I would recommend him to my family or colleagues.
Dr. Shakin is great.
