Testimonials
"Dr. Shamie is the best! Three weeks ago (1/24/18), she did both a cornea transplant and cataract repair on my left eye. This is my fourth cornea transplant, second on this eye. This is by far the best experience I've had. Vision is clearing very quickly. I've been to many ophthalmologists over the past 50 years with keratoconos, including very highly respected cornea specialists on both coasts. And my conclusion is that Dr. Shamie is in a league of her own with her knowledge, skills, and compassion. I thank the Divine Intelligence for bringing me to her!"
"I have researched top ophthalmologists specializing in corneal issues and discovered Dr. Shamie. She removed cataracts and implanted new lenses in both of my eyes, and they have both turned out perfectly. Plus, my astigmatism is gone. All while ensuring no damage to my corneas. (Like a couple of other reviewers, I, too, have I have Fuchs’ corneal disease. I’m hoping to never need corneal transplant surgery, and I chose Dr. Shamie because she is one of the top Fuchs’ doctors in the world. If not done with the utmost care, cataract surgery can accelerate the progression of this type of corneal disease and lead to the need for transplants. Corneal specialists make the best cataract surgeons for this very reason!)"
"My wife is also a patient, and we both drive all the way from San Diego to get the top level of expert care that we believe only she can provide. Dr. Shamie is exceptionally charming and personable, generous with her time, a patient and thoughtful listener, follows up to make sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Above all, consistently puts each patient’s vision first."
"Dr. Shamie did my cataract surgery two years ago and I was beyond surprised by the results. I'm a professional tennis player and my eye is now 20/20 perfect vision. I was so happy with the results I'm getting another cataract surgery done next week and I'm looking forward to Dr. Shamie doing it. She's not only one of the best eye doctors but she is also the nicest person you can be around. I highly recommend her expertise with any eye concerns you may have!"
"Dr. Shamie is the best surgeon I have ever had. She has my utmost confidence and I give her my highest recommendation. I came to her after an unsuccessful cataract surgery that caused significant complications with my cornea. Subsequently she has performed a DMEK cornea transplant on each eye. Her approach was conservative-no rush to surgery. Her analysis of my condition was thorough based on state of the art equipment (wish my first cataract surgeon had taken similar care before surgery). She is very abreast of new developments in treatment; her experience and resume are amazing. Every interaction I had in office or in surgery was very patient friendly and focused. She consistently projects confidence in her ability (as she should); she has impacted my life in a very positive way."
