Finest eye doctor and great staff. Thank you guys. 👌👏 I believe Dr Shakir is the finest eye doctor I’ve ever seen. I had both cataract procedures with him. He is very caring and top notch specialist in his field. We’re sure lucky to have him in our area. I highly recommend him.

Wow wow wow. Sabrina was truly excellent with my mother who has Alzheimer's; she was clear, kind, and patient and made our visit so pleasant. Our time with Dr Perdomo was also fantastic and he took the time to make my mom comfortable and answer all of our questions. I was floored by how great our visit was, truly.
Dr Shakir is simply the best
