Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgeable & Compassionate
Dr. Shaking always impresses me with his knowledge & understanding of all the nuances in my treatment of MD. Today he impressed me with his calmness & compassion as well. A mother called, very concerned about her 6 month old baby who was treated by Dr. Shakin for a retinol problem. Even though he was treating me at that moment, he took the call & graciously reassured her regarding her child's treatment. Dr. Shakin continues to impress me during every visit...

The Doc is TOPS but turn over -locatIon EXCESSIVE
The constant is the Doc tops in his field A plus plus plus. Christina at front desk, Patrick, Kenji and Wen excellent. They listen, are cooperative, personable and understanding. The NURSES who bring in the shots also good! Miscellaneous others who do eye exam are problematic. I INSIST they read my chart PRIOR to my entering room as once instructed to do by Supervisor because of several HUGE errors during my 7 Years. I did that immediately yesterday and was argued with. When same supervisor M angrily raised voice siding with her employee vs her instructions to me. I, a younger Senior citizen DEFENDED MYSELF and felt good about not being a doormat, although many oldies areSTATED UNEQUIVOCALLY “do not yell at me, I am the patient”! The Doctor is excellent and I am allergic to so much and get shots “cold turkey 100%” so need to feel secure. I really appreciate have great rapport with some but with others the shot is the easier part of the visit!! In future they will check w Doc!

Personable
We had a great experience from start to end. Mary really made a lasting impact and experience she was very personable and caring. She expressed empathy and went above and beyond to not only do her job but more. She made my grandfather feel comfortable and listened to his concerns. She really was amazing! Katia (hope I spelled her name correctly) was also very kind, she was very attentive and had no issues at all guiding my grandfather into the chair for his visit. She jumped gun and helped right away thank you. All of the staff was very nice and friendly. We had a quick 5min with Dr. Shakin however, he was also really pleasant wish the rest of the office staff that came into the room mentioned there names.

This is probably the best doctor’s office I have ever been to! I had an emergency and they gave me an appointment right away. Everything from the check in and intake to the treatment was perfectly organized. The staff nurses and doctor were so kind and caring even though they were extremely busy. I would highly recommend them.
