. He is very good at his job he explains his treatment
A very caring doctor. Recommend highly.
Always professional and caring. And everyone is wonderful and make you comfortable
Takes time to explain things thoroughly. Very kind
Great Doctor!
I sat in the exam chair waiting for the doctor to see me for a half an hour. There wasn't many patients in the exam rooms so I don't know why I had to wait so long. It takes way to long every visit, at least an hour or more. Wasted time.
Patient, caring, explained my condition and corrective procedure well and answered all my questions. Awesome experience
Listens to what I say and explains everything. Caring and gentle.
He is the best
Dr. Shakin is very knowledgeable in his field. We trusted his judgement and expertise. He examines our sons eyes with confidence and as quickly as possible!
