1st time patient, referred by Dr. G. Taub, regarding Retinal concerns due to eye Flashes. Dr. Shakin and his staff made certain my pupils were fully dilated. It took several tries, but he was very patient and thorough. Me, too.
I did NOT feel rushed. My concerns were heard, examined, and addressed. Looking forward to NEXT visit. Thank you to the front desk team member that handled my initial intake and secured my records from Dr. Fox, office. All around good first visit experience! And, I’m okay., which was even better news! Thank you. Cheers!
