Dr. Shaikh was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous that there was a major problem with my eye. Not only did she immediately put me at ease, but she was so kind and knowledgeable. She performed the tests comfortably and explained what was going on. Thankfully it wasn't anything serious. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a retinal specialist! Also, everyone I interacted with from check to check out, x-ryas, intake, everything, each person was wonderful!
