The reviews listed below were collected independently of VitreoRetinal Consultants through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Doctor Shakin is “ as Good as it gets “. He is Competent beyond belief - this gentleman knows his stuff. He isn’t merely “ just doing a job “. His interest and the love of his Profession shows through by how much he knows in this field . He’s the Best of the Best. He takes the time in a gentle manner to explain things and when I didn’t understand something, he again took the time by using different examples. I’ve been and still am a Health professional doing what I love to do for a little over 50 years and I’ve never come across anyone as wonderful as Dr. Jeffrey Shakin in the Health Professions.
