This doctor is wonderful!. I took my Mom to him every month for several years. When my own retina problem started about 3 years ago, I went straight to Dr. J. Shaken. He has always been friendly, informative and answers all questions. For anyone who needs shots in their eyes but are worried/scared, go see Dr Shaken- he is very gentle, no pain at all and it’s over in seconds!
