As always I experienced a very professional and friendly visit for my annual eye exam. The crew moved me quickly through the required tests etc. prior to seeing Dr. Eric.. Then as usual the doctor was friendly, professional and efficient while examining my eyes. His knowledge and expertise continue to maintain my eyesight that was almost lost about 30 years ago. I have been blessed to have Dr. Eric to care for my eyes through a long series of laser treatments and eye procedures. He’s the BEST!Patient Submitted Review

IDr Shakin explained clearly, and in detail, the condition of my AMD, and the effectiveness of the shots. The shots into my eyes were given with almost no pain. It is due to going to this practice for the past ten years or more that my wet AMD was diagnosed at almost the earliest possible moment in each eye.rater8 Verified Patient
