Dr.Shamie made this procedure a breeze. She is so good at what she does!!
All's I can say is , "I can see clearly now the days have past, I see all obstacles in my way"
Excellent results!!! Dr. Shamie, Dr. Li, the anesthesiologists, and all the technicians and nurses were extremely pleasant and professional!!! All in all, a very successful experience!!! Follow-up after surgery is also very good!!
I had ICL surgery with Dr. Shamie and it has been one of the best experiences and quality of care I have received. From initial consultation to post-op visits, Dr. Shamie and all staff have been attentive, kind, and just phenomenal. I am a very anxious person, but the level of care and attention I received from Dr. Shamie and staff assuaged my fears, answered all questions, and my procedure went smoothly and effectively. I am absolutely enjoying vision and life without glasses or contacts and could not be more grateful to Dr. Shamie and all at Maloney-Shamie Institute!
Dr. Shamie performed my cataract surgeries with LAL (light adjustable lens). I could drive, use computer monitors and phones without glasses shortly after the lock-ins.
Now, 3 months past the final lock-ins - and 2 days after my second post lock-in follow-up at my longtime optometrist office - my visions have further improved (from my first post lock-in follow-up a month ago). With the monovision (as opposed to multifocal), my left eye's target was 20/20 (for distance) and my right eye's was -1.50 (for computer monitors). My visual acuity hits those marks.
Unlike the online forums or subs re cataract surgeries, Yelp reviews do not detail individual clinical outcomes. I would like to reinforce the following:
1) There was no pressure upselling the LAL;
2) Dr. Shamie and her team were knowledgeable and thorough in addressing every question/concern throughout the process AND keeping my optometrist informed;
3) Dr. Shamie and her team were understanding and flexible when I changed my mind about the targets;
4) There was no pressure to rush the lock-ins.
Dr. Shamie is a first rate surgeon. The team from their front desk, surgical coordinators, billing to optometrists and technicians is super organized and competent. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Shamie was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I was extremely nervous and she really calmed me down and reassured me the morning of my surgery. The procedure was life changing for me. I’ve never seen better! The nurses and staff at the surgery center were also amazing and very patient. From my first visit to my post op care, I would rate a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5.
The procedure went very well and improved the reading acuity in the eye. The staff were very attentive and organized.
Very happy with my experience here. The support staff was very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful in preparing me for the surgery. Dr Shamie was actively engaged in determining which of the procedures was best for my needs, and took great care the day of the surgery. I highly recommend her and this institute to anyone who is considering cataract surgery.
Professional and efficient and very attentive to my specific eyes’ needs! Thank you, Dr. Shamie!
Excellent facility. I had my PRK done earlier this year and have nothing but positive things to say about the facility and the staff. I’ve already recommended them to others.
You get a fantastic, 5 start review from me. Everyone was wonderful and more than met my expectations. Dr Shamie gave me great care and the team at the surgicenter was professional, efficient and kind. My multifocal lenses are doing well 3 weeks postoperative and I’m very pleased.
I highly recommend Dr Shamie and her team!
Thank you
Dr. Shame was fabulous, personable, caring, and the results of my cataract surgeries are transformative. I'd give her six stars if I could.
Very professional and nice office. Phone calls are answered quickly. Email instructions are given, information on procedure (booklet) was mailed to me ahead of appointment.
Evaluation, testing and recommendations of procedure were given during first visit. Scheduling was easy, procedure was great, staff was good and Dr. Shamie is a caring and excellent doctor. I am done with contact lenses and glasses.
After procedure follow up visits were arranged by the Vision institute with a doctor in my area and it was very convenient.
Dr. Shamie was highly recommended to me and I will recommend her.
Dr. Shamie was very helpful in steering me toward the right surgery, and lens, and helping me feel confident and comfortable with my choices. Surgery with her was painless, quick, and super effective. I'm so excited about the sight I now have in my right eye. I had a cataract, and astigmatism, and wanted correction for near, computer, and distance. I got it all! And am so glad I got referred to Dr. Shamie. She is modest, but an excellent surgeon. She has a great team and collaborative relationships with the optometrists who refer her to their clients. You can't go wrong here!
Unbelievably fantastic experience with my catheracts surgery stopped wearing my glasses after a couple of days and the progress has been exceptional. Every step of the way each and every person I came into contact with went above and beyond. Thank you for such great work and results.
Before surgery, the Maloney-Shamie team did extensive testing of my current vision problems. Dr Shamie and I then had a long and detailed discussion of what my goals for corrective surgery were. Being a visual artist, I had very specific considerations. Finally, the surgery itself provided a life changing improvement in my vision. I can't recommend Dr Shamie and her team highly enough. They are truly superb by any measure!
The team at Maloney-Shamie made me feel so comfortable with and informed about my procedure. They stayed in touch both before and after to ensure everything went well — it was the best experience!
Dr. Shamie performed laser cataract surgery on both of my eyes about one month apart, as well as two, concurrent, glaucoma procedures in each. The evaluation, procedures, follow-ups, and outcomes were excellent. All visits were handled in a very timely and professional manner. I found Dr. Shamie to be very genuine and caring. I would highly recommend her and the institute.
I'm absolutely thrilled with my LASIK experience at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute! Dr. Shamie is a true expert in her field, and her skill and the use of cutting-edge technology have given me perfect vision. The staff was welcoming and professional, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. My recovery was quick and smooth, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie to anyone considering vision correction. Thank you for changing my life!
Maloney-Shamie is a personally and professionally excellent experience. The staff is most accommodating.
Certainly, the crowning jewel is Neda Shamie, the surgeon with the platinum hands and matching personality.
I was referred to Dr. Shamie by my eye doctor for LASIK and could not be happier with with the whole experience. Everyone in the office was incredibly kind and I never felt like I had to repeat myself, my eye history, or my chart to the doctor and nurses as new folks saw me. Everyone was up to date and on the same page throughout. I also really appreciate the diligence Dr. Shamie and team put into making sure I was doing the procedure that was the best fit for me. I didnt feel like I was being rushed into making a decision or pushed in any particular direction. On the day of the surgery itself, I felt like I was in the best hands. The team went above and beyond to make sure I was incredibly comfortable and knew what was going to happen through each stage. And I'm incredibly happy with the results! Would highly recommend Dr Shamie to anyone considering LASIK or any eye procedure.
An excellent experience and outcome.
Most professional and attentive staff.
The crowning jewel is Neda Shamie, a surgeon with platinum hands and personality to match!
I had been seeing a leading ophthalmologist in Long Beach, but wanted a second opinion, and was referred to Dr. Shamie.
EVERYTHING about the experience with Dr. Shamie and her staff was superlative: professional, caring and expert.
Most importantly, after having my cornea polished, cataracts removed and lenses inserted, I no longer need glasses, after 65 years depending on them. And with both the surgeries, and the recovery, there was zero discomfort. It was a breeze.
I feel very lucky that I ended up getting new eyesight from Dr. Shamie and her staff.
I had the cataracts in both of my eyes replaced by Dr. Shamie and she was an absolute delight. She was very thorough and attentive to my needs and concerns and answered all of my questions. On the day of the surgery she checked in before and after the surgery and the day after the surgery. The staff at the surgery center were all very friendly and professional. They too answered any questions and took very good care of me before and after the surgery, both days. The surgery center even called later in the day to check in on me. I felt that the entire experience made me feel so comfortable and at ease I had no qualms about going back the next week to do the second eye. In fact, I couldn't wait!
From my initial consultation with Dr. Shamie and the team to waking up from surgery, everything went perfectly! There were no surprises and I was totally at ease with the entire process. I would recommend Dr. Shamie to anyone who is considering cataract surgery.
I recently had my LASIK surgery performed by Dr. Shamie, and I couldn't be happier with the results, the entire experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Shamie made me feel incredibly safe and well-informed about the procedure. Very professional and I felt very comfortable she did not rush me before or after surgery.
The procedure itself was quicker and smoother than I anticipated! Dr. Shamie was very reassuring explaining each step as we went along, which really helped calm my nerves. The clinic staff was also fantastic specifically the girl with the curls she was fantastic. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name!
Now, just a week after the surgery, I'm so happy to report that I have 20/15 vision, better than I hoped for! I've experienced no side effects, which speaks volumes about Dr. Shamie's expertise!!
For anyone considering LASIK I can't recommend Dr. Shamie enough. It's been just a week, but this surgery has already improved my quality of life tremendously. Thank you, Dr. Shamie for such a positive and life-changing experience!
Dr. Shamie and staff were great. Did a good job on all explanations and prep for the procedure. Results of actual procedure exceeded my expectations - I can see so clearly again!!
Dr. Shamie and the Vision Institute staff are professional, organized and provide expert care through entire cataract and laser surgical process. In developing my plan, I had the upmost confidence in Dr. Shamie's recommendation. The pre surgery information was excellent and post procedure followup has been good. I have already recommended Vision Institute to a few of my colleagues.
The very best care!!!! Answered all my questions completely. My surgery could not have gone more smoothly.
I recently had a PRK procedure with Dr. Shamie and her team. Throughout the entire process they were kind, caring, and made sure I understood each step throughly. The procedure itself couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and I felt very cared for and well informed both before and after. My vision has never been better, and I couldn’t be more thankful!
My experience with Dr Shamie was wonderful. She is very professional and at the same time very kindhearted. Her office has the latest and greatest technology and equipment to test every aspect of your eye health. Both she and her staff make you feel comfortable and confident in her skill as a surgeon. As a senior citizen, I did not yet have fully developed cataracts but wanted to explore the possibility of improving my vision. I was able to have lens replace surgery and now have 20/20 vision which gives me freedom from wearing glasses. I would highly recommend Dr Shamie.
Administrative staff were pleasant and very helpful. Pre-op staff kind and thoughtful which calmed my nervousness. Surgery was perfect, completely painless and no pain days after surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Shamie.
I have received care from Maloney-Shamie for the last 30 years, starting with LASIK surgery in the mid-1990s and cataract surgery earlier this year. Dr. Shamie and her team were flawless in their care where they installed my new lenses, which have me back to driving at night with better vision than I've had in 15+ years. Thank you for 3 decades and counting of care. -Richard I.
Where to even begin! I was referred to Dr. Shamie for my LASIK, and I am currently one day post-op. I can already say this was the best treatment I've ever had. Everyone involved in making this happen has been such a huge help and blessing. Literally everyone I have come across in this office.
What truly stands out is how personalized they make this experience. I can’t believe how much they genuinely care about every detail, constantly asking if there's anything they can do to make it more comfortable. It was hard for me to hide my excitement at the prospect of getting LASIK with others, and the fact that these hero rockstars go day in and day out providing these life-changing procedures—while still being able to join in the enthusiasm and remaining so courteous and supportive—is truly remarkable. The amazing work done at this office is nothing short of extraordinary, and I can't recommend them enough!!
So absolutely satisfied with my experience getting Lasik with Dr. Shamie! I initially scheduled a consultation with the clinic but was so impressed and comforted throughout that we did the Lasik the same day. The procedure was only 12 minutes and truely painless. Such a great team and an amazing Dr. whom I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.
An amazing experience from start to finish. Dr. Shamie came highly recommended by my optometrist. The doctor and her office were professional and informative and most importantly, my surgery was successful. Eye surgery can be a scary proposition but Dr. Shamie's knowledge, experience and confidence allowed me to feel assured that i had chosen the best doctor for me.
Expert care. Office works like a well-designed, honed, and well oiled machine. Office personnel, medical technicians and staff are courteous, knowledgeable, and effective at performing their jobs. Went from 20/150 - 20/350 to 20/20-20/20 in 10 minutes. No complaints.
Dr. Shamie and Dr. Barnes were incredible. Having light adjustable lenses with my cataract surgery restored my eye sight back to 20/20, where it was after I had Lasik surgery in 2007.
Attentive and informative staff, answered any questions I had, even when I probably was repeating myself. Procedure for me was very comfortable and of course the most important, I can see with a better clarity, both colors and vision.
Well let me start with DR.SHAMIE. She is absolutely a beautiful and an amazing woman. I am an extremely nervous person so, she took her time to explain everything in detail and made me feel absolutely safe in her hands. Now her staff… Wow amazing as well. Everyone was very friendly and patient with me and also made me feel absolutely comfortable…Both offices are also super clean…I would highly recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute for eye surgery… surgery done was Multifocal RLE, first eye 4/11/24, second eye 4/18/24… painless and only a few hours of down time… no insurance covers this type of surgery, however they have a reasonable payment plan to anyone who needs it… I hope this helps anyone thinking about eye surgery who is tired of wearing prescription glasses 24/7… DR.SHAMIE, I love you and all your staff… Thank you everyone…
Dr. Shamie performed the cataract surgery on my left eye a little over two weeks ago. The experience was relaxed and extremely efficient. And the results are wonderful. No pain, no discomfort, no post-operative issues. Optimal clarity of vision was achieved very shortly after the procedure. I am totally satisfied.
Dr. Neda Shamie is an excellent ophthalmologist with a confident steady hand. She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She is also a very approachable and caring doctor. She not only focused on the surgery but also checked on me before and after to see how I was doing make sure I was comfortable and doing well.
I had cataract surgery and never had any pain. The next day, my eye was healed. My vision is so much clearer than before.
Dr. Shamie has a wonderful, competent, and respectful staff who guide patients through the steps with little to no waiting. The office is clean, well organized, well laid out, and welcoming. The office staff made me feel welcomed and valued.
The book they sent to me before my appointment is well written and informative and gave me a good idea about what to expect before the surgery.
I highly recommend Dr. Shamie for anyone considering or needing cataract surgery.
I had worn glasses since I was 9 years old, and after years of wanting to get LASIK I finally did it! After consulting with my optometrist he referred me to Dr. Maloney and Dr. Shamie, who I came to find out are some of the top eye surgeons in the country. I made my appointment with Dr. Shamie, and I'm so glad I did. Her and her team were AMAZING from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety about the procedure. They were very knowledgeable and very kind. If you are thinking about having LASIK I strongly recommend Dr. Shamie and her team. There are not enough words to describe the immense joy I feel, being able to wake up and see is something I never thought possible for me. Dr. Shamie makes dreams come true!
Also, as a woman, having a team of women helping to make my dreams a reality was AWESOME! Girl power all the way :D
A great experience from beginning to end. Everything was explained thoroughly, and there was no pressure or effort to up-sale procedures or products. Dr. Shamie and her team were great! Having your eyes operated on is always freightening and risky, but the team mitigated those risks and put me at ease. My eye is recovering great with perfectly restored vision.
As a photographer I was very sensitive to having any type of surgery on my eyes. Dr. Shamie took extended time with we to explain every step and answer every question I had.
The surgery went extremely smoothly and Dr. Shamie's bedside manner is very reassuring and comforting. Her team is top notch, also.
Dr. Shamie is truly an artist, so much so during the 'day after surgery follow up' my optometrist could barely tell I had the surgery.
My vision is 100% improved and I am seeing the world in the true colors of my youth.
One shock was the next day I was seeing so clearly, I didn't realize I had so many wrinkles in my face.
It is impossible to thank Dr. Shamie and her team enough..they have changed my life.
Craig Mohr, Professor of Photography.
First class, state of the art. I am so impressed with the entire practice and especially Dr Shamie. She recommended a new, light adjustable lens for my cataract surgery, since I had lasix in the past. The staff is friendly, expert and attentive. Dr Shamie is extremely knowledgeable and went out of her way to make me comfortable with my treatment. The cost was comparable to other surgeons. Even though it was a bit farther for me, the drive was worth it. Don't compromise with your eyes, go to the best.
My experience with Dr. Shamie and her team was excellent. After a lifetime of having to wear glasses and finally having cataract surgeries with light adjustable lens implantations, my vision is better than I can ever remember. Dr. Shamie and everyone who was involved in the entire process were professional, efficient, kind, and so patient in answering questions and guiding me through the painless process. I'd definitely recommend others to them.
The personal care, professionalism, and the superb results are a testament to the excellence of the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I have referred friends to Dr. Neda Shamie who are scheduled for surgery at this institute.
My experience with Dr. Neda Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute was nothing short of excellence. Her professional staff was impressive but not as impressive as she herself is and her dedication to her patience. She is a superlative physician and surgeon as well as the most charming and thoughtful of individuals. Aside from having a complete package detailing everything a prospective patient would want or need to know handed to them upon leaving her office after the first consult and exam, her staff prepares you in detail for the surgical procedure you will undergo and everything you need to do and know in writing. The surgical staff - all women - and all impressive, efficient, thoughtful and helpful, prepared me for the surgery. Unlike many male doctors, she stopped by to say hello and to assure me prior to the anesthesia being administered. They made sure I had someone pick me up after the procedure and gave me written instructions in a packet along with eyedrops I was to use for 4 weeks. Most impressive of all however was that Dr. Shame sent me a text divulging her cellphone number in case I had a problem and included a link to a video of instructions that I could watch at my leisure - and not lose, since it was on my iPhone. And I could review it when I had a question or issue. Moreover, a few weeks after the surgery she actually sent me a thank you letter!!! What surgeon ever explains anything on a video for the patient and then sends a thank you letter? In my 80 years, I've never encountered such an exceptional medical professional who is as thoughtful and respectful of her patients as Dr. Shamie. I will soon be scheduling my second cataract surgery with her.
Every call I made was professional answered. I was treated respectfully when I visited. The intake/front desk staff was always kind. All doctors and technicians show empathy and are competent. I am pleased with the treatment every time I’ve visited.
Very professional yet very personal attention. I never felt rushed and my questions were answered. The staff was friendly. I loved when I heard Dr Shamie said in an online video that she treats each patient as if we were family, I felt that especially when at the surgical center. She explained and gave comfort to put me at ease.
Dr Shamie is wonderful. The care I received prior to surgery, during surgery and afterwards was a breeze. Everyone was not only professional but extremely kind. I have already referred people to her.
Great! Perfect! I can see again and the experience was easy, painless, and transformative. Dr. Shamie is amazing.
Love Dr. Shamie and her team. Extremely competent, responsive, and friendly regarding medical questions, billing questions, and surgery. I felt very confident that I had been referred to the right surgeon and then was pleasantly surprised that she also had super competent and helpful staff as well. One of the best-run healthcare organizations I have experienced. And don't forget Dr. Shamie is an extremely good surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie and her team.
I am so utterly happy with my experience with Dr. Shamie and her team of doctors and staff at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. Dr. Shamie is extremely competent, communicative, and easy to work with. And my surgery went extremely. And her team was the same: responsive, eager to help (from medical questions to billing questions etc). One of the best heathcare practices I have ever experienced. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie and her team.
I had cataract surgery with Dr. Shamie and I could not be more pleased with the results. The choice of lens turned out to be better than I imagined. I can read my phone, computer, TV and further without glasses. I occasionally use +2 "cheaters" if print is very small or in dim light. For all practical purposes, I no longer need to wear glasses every day. The operation was quick, painless and gave me instant results.
The admitting staff was polite and friendly. I only had to wait 5 minutes before being called back.
The entire staff asking questions and getting me ready for surgery were very efficientband fast. The anesthesiologist explained everything to me and was very polite.
The most amazing part was receiving a personal text from Dr Shamie. She wanted to know how I was feeling and she stated the surgery went well.
The best part, I have 20/20 vision in that eye after the surgery. I can hardly wait for them to correct the other eye.
Maloney-Shamie are so awesome. Dr. Shamie did my light adjustable lens implants and the whole process was effortless. The following appointments for adjustments was equally as fantastic!
This is the only office for your eye needs. I had LASIK eye surgery 25 years ago and it was fantastic…life changing. Recently I need cataract surgery and it was also easy and my eyesight is wonderful. Never trust anyone else with your eyes.
I am in the medical field and I just want to say that everything step of the process (from making the appointments to the actual procedure) was wonderful. I felt like a VIP the whole time. The only thing I regret is not having lasik done sooner. I am so thrilled with my results and 100% recommend Dr. Shamie. She made me feel calm and confident in her abilities.
I can’t thank Dr. Shamie and her team enough for the best LASIK experience ever!! From the consult down to the procedure and the after care, the process was the smoothest I’ve ever had at a medical facility. Even though I was initially nervous for the procedure, Dr. Shamie talked me through it the whole way, and even sent me a follow up text after the initial four hour recovery period, to see how I was doing. I would honestly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to get LASIK for themselves. You won’t regret it at all! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. SHAMIE!!! :)
I love the results from my refractive lens exchange. During my initial consultations, Dr. Shamie listened to my concerns carefully and was thoughtful and specific in her recommendations. After a thorough review of my situation, she was confident I would be able to get rid of my glasses, and she was correct! The facilities and entire staff are first-class, and the out-patient procedures were professional and pain-free. With my new multifocus lenses, I haven't worn glasses since the surgery. My only regret is not having done this years ago. Thank you, Dr. Shamie!
My relationship with Dr. Shamie began in 2019 when my local Optometrist referred me to her to have my cataracts removed. I needed laser cataract removal as I have Fuch‘s Corneal Dystrophy and Dr. Shamie is a renowned cataract, LASIK, and corneal surgeon. The cataracts were removed and the whole experience was exceptional. Dr. Shamie also evaluated my Fuch’s and corresponded with my Optometrist to watch the progress of the Fuch’s. This year I was referred back to Dr. Shamie and she said it was time for a partial cornea transplant. The transplant was conducted at the Surgery Center and went well. I will have the other cornea transplant later this year.
Dr. Shamie and her office staff are very competent. Everything went smoothly and I was treated very well. The surgery center was also an excellent experience and I felt well cared for.
Every interaction I have had over the years have been only positive and I would recommend Dr. Shamie.
Many of the positive reviews seem to be from people who had Lasik surgery, and it seems that patients are generally very happy with their Lasik surgeries. I didn't have Lasik surgery so I can't comment on that. I had cataract surgeries. In short, Dr. Hura was wonderful. He did some preliminary procedures on me and personally followed up to ask how I was doing afterwards. Unfortunately, because of scheduling issues I could not have Dr. Hura perform my cataract surgeries, so Dr. Shamie did them. I'm sorry to say that she did not measure up to Dr. Hura. There is too much to get into here, but here's just one example: during one of my cataract surgeries, while I was anxiously lying on the table waiting for the procedure to start, Dr. Shamie talked across the top of my body to her assistant and had her assistant 1) Schedule a massage appointment for her and 2) Schedule a lunch date for her. I thought this was extremely unprofessional. As for the cataract surgeries themselves, Dr. Shamie seemed to take much less time and care with the second one (the "massage and lunch day") and I am having continuing problems with that eye six months later. I have had to go to at least 15 appointments with optometrists, other ophthalmologists, and a retina specialist, all with no resolution. I haven't been able to work at the computer for more than 15 minutes at a time without getting nauseous. I can't do my job and I am about to go out of business. I got the distinct feeling from Dr. Shamie that I don't fit her demographic of a celebrity whose photo she can hang on her wall and post on her website. I hope your experience is better than mine.
Totally impressed by Dr. Shamie and the entire practice. After a bad experience with another surgeon elsewhere on my first eye, I went to see Dr Shamie, and so thankful I found her! She suggested we use a new, light adjustable lens for my cataract surgery. If you have had lasix in the past this is definitely an option you should consider. The flares around lights is now almost totally gone and my vision is perfect. Get a few opinions but get your surgery at Maloney Shamie, don’t compromise with your eyes - get the best! Grateful for the entire staff and the wonderful experience, they saved my vision!
Dr Shamie seems top notch as a doctor and has a wonderful personality/bedside manner. Her staff was superb, as well
At only 53 years old, I, unfortunately had to have surgery to remove cataracts in each eye. Fortunately, I found Dr Shamie to do my surgery. It went extremely well, and she and her staff were superb. I ended up doing a monovision technique, so I occasionally need reading glasses for small print or in poorly lit areas, but my distance vision is fantastic, and I'm no longer dependent on glasses to do things like drive safely.
I was nervous about undergoing the EVO-ICL surgery however I felt I was in the most capable hands when deciding on Dr. Shamie as my surgeon, and I am so grateful that I did. Dr. Shamie is a remarkable provider. I was blown away by her warmth throughout the consultation, surgery and post op. She was clear in her explanation of the surgery and answered my many questions about it. From my first interaction with Dr. Shamie I felt that she deeply and genuinely cared about me as a patient. I appreciated that her team was in touch with me both before and after my surgery. The surgery itself went seamlessly and painlessly. I am so happy that I moved forward with the EVO-ICL, it has been life changing, especially given my extremely high prescription.
Excellent from the first appointment through the surgeries and follow-up. Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough
SIMPLY THE BEST! Quality of Care. Excellence and Expertise. Tgorough and Compassionate. Caring and Kind. Knowledgeable and Cutting Edge. THE BEST DOCTORS OF 2024
I recently underwent eye surgery performed by Dr. Neda Shamie, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Shamie and her team exhibited a level of professionalism and dedication that truly set them apart.
First and foremost, Dr. Shamie provided exceptional care and attention. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and address my concerns or questions, putting me at ease from the beginning. Her expertise and confidence instilled a sense of trust, which was further reinforced by the seamless execution of the surgery.
Throughout the process, Dr. Shamie and her staff demonstrated a genuine commitment to my well-being. Moreover, I am delighted with the results of the surgery. Dr. Shamie not only achieved the desired outcome but exceeded my expectations. The improvement in my vision has been nothing short of remarkable, greatly enhancing my quality of life. I am immensely grateful for her skill and expertise, and I am thrilled with the results of my surgery. Thanks again Dr. Shamie!
It was an awesome experience. Fantastic customer service a d Tanya was the greatest. Dr. Shamie is a great surgeon and caring doctor. Loved Loved the entire experience. ❤️

Very happy with my experience here. The support staff was very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful in preparing me for the surgery. Dr Shamie was actively engaged in determining which of the procedures was best for my needs, and took great care the day of the surgery. I highly recommend her and this institute to anyone who is considering cataract surgery.

Professional and efficient and very attentive to my specific eyes’ needs! Thank you, Dr. Shamie!
Dr. Shamie has been the most caring and detail-oriented physician I have ever encountered. I cannot thank her enough for restoring my vision .
At age 67, my cataracts were so severe and brittle that I could no longer procrastinate and postpone surgery. After undergoing oncology treatment for a rare blood cancer, the side effects of high doses of prednisone had caused extreme clouding in both eyes and driving and reading was becoming more difficult. I had been terribly near sighted since childhood and had worn glasses since third grade and contacts since the age of 16. My cataracts were so severe that I could only see the big E on the eye chart without my contacts. And even then it was blurry. I had been delaying having surgery because I didn’t want to have to choose between wearing reading glasses or alternatively, distance glasses, after cataract surgery. I wanted perfect vision and my local doctors offered no such alternative. My local optometrist, however, referred me Dr. Neda Shamie for evaluation for the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) procedure. It was touted as a way to achieve the perfect vision I was seeking, allowing me to see close up, mid-range and far away without glasses. I made an appointment to travel to Los Angeles, met with Dr. Shamie, found out that despite my extreme near-sightedness, I was qualified for the LAL procedure. Two words: Life Changing! Dr. Shamie was incredible as my surgeon, as was Dr Kristin Barnes, who provided pre and post op care. The office staff and assistants were personable, helpful, and went out of their way to work around my busy schedule. Although the LAL procedure requires about a month’s worth of follow-up visits to tweak the vision in each eye to perfection, and of course the need to wear U/V glasses during that time to protect the eyes, it was well worth it. I can see better than before, with 20/15 distance vision and 20/20 close up vision. I do not need reading glasses to read a book, a menu, or my iPhone; my computer (mid-range) vision is awesome without correction; and I can see perfectly to drive the LA freeways. For the first time in memory, I wake up and I can see! Sometimes I just laugh to myself when I first wake up and start fumbling in a stupor to find my glasses, then I realize, oh yeah, I CAN SEE! I have to pinch myself. Dr. Shamie has the best bedside manner you can ask for. She listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, treated me with respect, she was so kind on the day of surgery making sure to chat and reassure me as we prepared, she called me after the surgery, and handled my subsequent check ups with friendly professionalism. The cataract surgery itself was efficient, painless and I walked out of the surgery center feeling incredible. I had zero complications. Dr. Shamie is so very experienced, confident in her abilities, and will immediately put you at ease. After surgery, Dr. Barnes worked patiently with me over the following weeks to ensure that the post op light adjustments customized my vision, achieving what was ultimately better than perfect vision, and we did not lock down the lens adjustments until I was completely satisfied. I looked forward to seeing her at every visit. If you have been putting off surgery out of fear or concern for having to choose vision or lens options, go see Dr. Shamie. She will honestly evaluate your eye health and recommend the right procedure for you. Her technical skill is the best, she is caring and compassionate, and your life will be changed for the better. Don’t be misled into thinking that only rich people or celebrities will be treated well at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I am a working professional and felt right at home. You will receive attentive, personalized care from Dr. Shamie and your life (and vision) will never be the same. Enjoy your new and improved view of the world! Thank you Dr. Shamie and Dr. Barnes!
At age 67, my cataracts were so severe and brittle that I could no longer procrastinate and postpone surgery. After undergoing oncology treatment for a rare blood cancer, the side effects of high doses of prednisone had caused extreme clouding in both eyes and driving and reading was becoming more difficult. I had been terribly near sighted since childhood and had worn glasses since third grade and contacts since the age of 16. My cataracts were so severe that I could only see the big E on the eye chart without my contacts. And even then it was blurry.

Couldnt be a more friendly and competent staff. Dr. Shamie was terrific. Thanks to all of them.
If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. I had cataract surgery, performed by Dr. Shamie, two months ago and could not be happier. The practice was a pleasure to deal with. All my appointments started on time. The staff answered all my questions and spent as much time with me as I needed to get answers and make decisions about the type of lens to receive. They provided a lot of education around eyes and cataracts and vision which was what I needed.
Friendly, efficient, excellent care!
Everything went well . I was impressed with how efficient, thoughtful and caring all of the professionals and office staff demonstrated before and after the surgery .
I could not have had a better experience with my two cataract surgeries at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. The care was excellent from the first pre-op visit through the surgeries to the post-op visits. The results were life-changing and I highly recommend them!
Dr Shamie & the entire Staff & process was Amazing. Staff is Courteous, thorough to every detail,and clean. TEN PLUS !!!
This was the nicest most professional group ! They go above and beyond to provide the best experience one could ask for. I highly recommend them in every way. You won't be disappointed if you go to them. I appreciate the entire team, and cannot say enough positive things about them. I am so grateful I went to them.
I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I am a teacher and in terms of my experience, literally every person who works here gets an A +++. Superb! Friendly, competent , professional, warm and kind. I highly recommend them!!! I'm so grateful I went to them . My treatment and results are phenomenon. Thank you to everyone there! Jane Abbott
The entire process from check in was flawless. Everyone was so nice and made you feel comfortable and relaxed prior to the surgery. I was amazed how quick the procedure was and Dr Shamie is amazing. I would recommend Maloney/Shamie to anyone and have told my friends and family.
Great easy experience! Awesome
My pre-surgery appointment with Dr. Shamie was comprehensive and I felt that I was in good hands for my cataract procedure(s). Both surgeries at the Surgery Center were attended by an incredible staff which was well-trained and both surgeries were successful. Dr. Shamie is an accomplished surgeon and I felt that I had the best care available.
I considered a number of experienced ophthalmologists for a cataract procedure. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Shamie because of the high level of organization within her practice. Everyone, including the front office staff, the optical technicians, and her staff optometrist, was working together to assist her on my case. When I needed specific information about the details of my procedure, I was able to speak with someone who could explain things in sufficient detail. This gave me a great deal of confidence going into surgery. Note that without any prompting, they immediately organized post-surgical appointments with my local optometrist. This made the overall process much simpler for me. The procedure went well and I am quite happy with the resulting vision improvement. I would recommend Dr. Shamie and her team to anyone considering this type of surgery.
My experience with Dr Shami for my Cataract was great. I am amazed by the quality of my eyesight post surgery, so much so, that I have recommended her to 2 of my work mates
This was one of the best experiences I've had when it comes to my healthcare professionals. Dr. Shamie is a godsend, and it's evident how much her positive energy has influenced the culture and the overall team within this institute. I highly recommend this vision institute.
Very well run operation at the clinic and surgery center. Friendly, competent staff who puts the patient first. i will return for cataract surgey on my second eye.
It was an extraordinary experience. I have always wanted not to wear glasses and Dr. Shamie and her staff made that possible . I will be eternally grateful to them.
I had cataract surgery in both eyes and because I chose laser surgery, Dr. Shamie also addressed my L& R astigmatism. I cannot express how astonishing the positive difference in my sight is! I can see details and read with so much greater ease! I was actually giddy in my ophthalmologist’s follow up appointment. I haven’t seen so well in decades! The surgery itself went absolutely smoothly and the two different anesthesiologists were great. Twilight of the gods. Dr. Shamie was reassuring and expert. I felt very confident. The nurses in the surgery center were perfect. Each one was gentle and extraordinarily competent. I can’t say enough about how grateful I feel to have had this procedure under Dr. Shamie’s hands in such a kind and steady center.
Dr. Shamie is the most caring physician I have ever known. Her staff is amazingly kind and professional.
Very good people and honest Doctors. They said they couldn’t proceed ahead based on my situation and refunded my consultation fee as they weren’t able to help me out. I have nothing but prayers and respect for such great people in this industry. May they keep thriving and be number one always (ameen).
I was very pleased with Maloney_Shamie Vision Institute. Neda Shamie performed cataract surgery on my right eye and it turned out to be very successful. The work she did prior to the surgery and her surgical expertise made the surgery successful. The support people at the institute were very thorough and pleasant.
I'd like to thank Dr. Shamie for the wonderful cataract surgery she performed on my right eye. Colors are much more vivid now and my eyesight has improved to 20-20 in that eye! I couldn't be more pleased.
Wonderful guidance, insight, recommendations and procedural outcomes. The staff performed with enthusiastic professionalism matched only by their manners and courtesy.
Amazing doctor and staff. Very professional and courteous. Highly recommend
Incredibly professional, answered all my questions, and really made me feel at ease during the whole process.
Everything is extremely well run at Maloney-Shamie. The office is beautiful, the staff is really nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. They address any questions and concerns right away and with patience. The surgery itself was totally painless and short and I never felt any discomfort after either surgery (I had a lense replacement in both eyes) Clearly Dr. Shamie is one of the best in her field by a lot - you will feel very well cared for and supported through the whole event. And now when I wake up in the morning - I can SEE!!! So! You can't beat that!
Great staff. Great attention to my issues. Did not keep me waiting. My surgeries were uneventful. Everyone cared! Love them.
Great job, very communicative and a great process start to finish.
The staff at Meloney-Shamie was superb in making their tests, measurements and preparations for cataract surgery easy and comfortable. This may echo the vibe of Dr. Shamie's leadership. The confidence I gained in consultations with Dr. Shamie carried through the cataract surgery she later completed with model professionalism and philanthropy. My much improved vision is a happy result, but the process, which might have been nervous, was a rewarding human experience.
Caring, compassionate, personal, established a high confidence level.
Outstanding experience. Dr Shamie and her entire staff are wonderful to work with.
Dr. Shamie is an outstanding corneal specialist. Unfortunately if you're considering LASIK -you should only go to the best. She was the only dr. in California to diagnosis an eye condition I have (Keratoconus) which has contributed to an irregular astigmatism & makes me a poor candidate for LASIK. All other opthalmalogists I met with were willing to do the procedure -unaware of the likely complications I'd face over time. She is several cuts above the rest.
The professionalism, care and attention to detail exhibited by MSVC staff is refreshingly impressive and much appreciated. The whole process of my cataract surgery was done in a thorough and effective manner. I especially appreciate Dr. Shamie checking in on me prior to surgery. Additionally, she was very meticulous and thoughtful in operating my eye for which I’m grateful. Kudos to the MSVC team for excellent care and services. Keep up the good work!
Great staff, super efficient, and informative. Very high quality of care and they were knowledgeable enough to answer all my questions. Highly recommend Dr. Shamie!
Amazing team! Dr Shamie is a top notch surgeon and knows her stuff. I was nervous going into surgery but the whole team walked me through the process and what to expect during surgery. Within 4 hours after surgery I had 20/20 vision. If you are considering lasik there is no better choice than Dr. Shamie. Thank you again!!
Dr Shamie and her whole crew were amazing they were complete professionals and my results I consider a miracle !!!
Super easy, friendly and informative staff. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend, from first exam to completion of both cataract eye surgeries. Top notch all the way!!! Dr. Shamie really cares about her patients...And the people at the surgical center were exceptional!
Professional. Excellent communication and follow-through every step of the way.
Highly recommend to anyone!
My cataract surgeries were done by Dr. Shamie six months ago, she did a great job! I am happy with the results! Thanks! Dr. Shamie and the entire staffs are knowledgeable and professional!
The staff was very professional and friendly. I had cataract surgery and Dr. Shamie did the surgery. I must admit I was scared to have it done but Dr. Shamie made me feel at ease. She explained all the different lenses and also explained the pros and cons of each lens. I would recommend Dr Shamie to anyone who needs cataract surgery.
I had cataract surgery with laser by Dr. Shamie. The process was smooth, relaxing and everyone was caring and professional. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie for cataract surgery.
Efficient, great communication, friendly and a really good experience!
Dr. Shamie is awesome. I went to see quite a few top rated specialists in the LA area for cataract surgery but I feel like Shamie is the best. She is very passionate about her work. Compared to her, the other doctors I met with seemed like they were just phoning it in. One of the things she did that impressed me, and I'm super grateful for, is that she managed to successfully place an "Extended Depth of Focus" (EDOF) Lens in my left eye when every other specialist said they would never attempt it because my left cornea was too thin. All the experts I consulted with said they would only put a monofocal in my left eye, which means I would be dependent on glasses for reading or distance. However, Shamie opted for the Vivity EDOF IOL, and she pulled it off! ...Now I don't need glasses at all. I can see 20/20 distance and also read my phone just fine. My near vision is very functional...Yet, it was a process to get there. She told me before my left eye surgery that she may not hit the target on the first surgery because my particular issue would be highly unpredictable and she may need to replace the IOL with a different refractive power. Well, that's what happened. After the first surgery, my distance vision was overshot with no intermediate or reading vision. So, we waited a few months and re-did the surgery with a different power Vivity lens. The 2nd surgery in my left eye was a great success. I have excellent reading vision with very close to 20/20 distance. It was totally worth it to go through 2 surgeries on my left eye to get this result and never have to deal with glasses again. I think this was a bold, and very caring move on her part to try to get the best result possible for me because she could have been complacent or apathetic like the other doctors and just told me to forget about an EDOF and just stuck me with a monofocal because it would be easier for her, but she didn't! ...She didn't want to settle for that, even after I originally requested the "Light Adjustable Lens" monofocal because the other doctors had already convinced me that the LAL was my best option. However, she said no, and recommended the Vivity, which in the end, yielded me a much better result than the LAL could have. ...And I didn't have to pay a dime for that 2nd surgery. Also, when Dr. Shamie did the 2nd surgery on my left eye she also performed a Reverse Optic Capture because after my 1st surgery I had significant Negative Dysphotopsia "ND". Now the "ND" is very much reduced and tolerable. It pops in once in a while but most of the time it is not noticeable. She also did a successful Yag Capsulotomy on my left eye. My right eye surgery went absolutely perfectly with distance hitting 20/15 and very good reading as well. So everything went as good as humanly possible. Nothing will ever be perfect but I think I got very lucky finding Dr.Shamie. She doesn't just seek an adequate result, she seeks a "Masterpiece", her words :) I see better now than I ever have in my entire life. A real life changer. I can't thank Dr. Shamie enough. The whole office is very well staffed, very professional and nice. The post op specialist I had, Dr. Luu, who did all my follow ups is fantastic. And my thanks to Luis, Jasmine, Vildi and the rest of the great staff. The initial consultation was more expensive than the other consultations I had but it also seemed more extensive and thorough than the others. If you have insurance, then the cost makes no difference. My highest recommendation for this outfit.
It was a good experience from start to finish. They are very professional and great at their job. I now see better than I ever have before. Thank you.
Dr. Shamie is simply the best!
I am so pleased with the results of my successful cataract surgeries! I fully recommend Dr. Shamie and her staff, all of whom are competent, welcoming and respectful. Dr. Shamie is very caring and had my confidence with the decisions we made.
My cataract surgery with Dr. Shamie was a fantastic experience! Her office staff is exceptional – competent, professional, courteous, and friendly -- and she has a great personality and bedside manner. Although my visits with her were brief, I never felt rushed, and I felt that we became friends. Her manner instilled confidence and put me at ease. I was nonetheless a bit nervous on the day of my first surgery, but the surgery staff was very good and very friendly. Before the surgery, Dr. Shamie stopped by and addressed me by my nickname which eased my concerns. The surgery itself was done in 10-15 minutes, and Dr. Shamie took the time to tell me that things had gone well. In fact, the results were amazing! My vision was a little blurry after surgery but improved during the day. By the next morning, I was seeing 20-20, something I hadn’t done in many years, even with glasses. Now I can sit on our back porch and see birds, even tiny hummingbirds, that I could only hear before, and my distance vision is crystal clear. I very highly recommend Dr. Shamie if you are considering eye surgery.
I knew I was in safe, skilled, experienced hands. The office, staff, and patient experience were all top-notch. They were able to correct my vision even though it was too nearsighted for LASIK to be a good idea. A week and a half after surgery, after 31 years unable to function without glasses or contacts, I have 20/15 vision in both eyes.
Dr. Shamie and the whole team were amazing. I had such poor vision, LASIK wasn’t a responsible option— but they had a great solution and now I see 20/15 in both eyes.
One of the best medical experiences I’ve ever had… professional, caring, and dedicated staff, and Doctor Shamie is truly an artist and an expert at her craft! Gratitude for you all!
Staff was uniformly courteous and professional. Very impressed, and if I needed laser cataract surgery on my left eye, which I currently do not, I would use them without hesitation.
The office and surgical center run smoothly, they're communicative and upfront and make it easy. They're clearly very experienced and do a lot of these, but it's not crowded and they don't treat you like a number. They do a super thorough workup. Before, I couldn't do anything without glasses or contacts, but my lenses were so thick, they got in the way of almost everything. I came in wanting LASIK, but my vision was too bad for LASIK to be a good idea. They had a procedure for me that worked. A week and a half later, I have 20/15 vision in both eyes. I avoided doing this for years because I wanted to find the right surgeon. Finding Dr. Shamie is the best thing that could have happened for me.
Wonderful! Fast and painless!!
Dr. Shamie is fantastic. She and her staff made me feel so comfortable, prepared and cared for. These are experts in their field and excellent at their jobs. Thank you!
MY EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT!!! EVERYONE AT MALONEY-SHAMIE WAS GREAT AND HELPFUL. THE SURGICAL CENTER THEY USE WAS ALSO GREAT.
Dr. Shamie provided excellent care in the initial consult, selection of the lens, the procedure itself, and in following up to make sure everything went well. The results in improving vision were outstanding.
Excellent outcome… Dr.Shamie restored my vision to 20/20 and the whole procedure went perfectly
One month of incredible brightness! Vivid colors and summer white vs winter white all pop out with clarity. Dr. Shamie spells out ones options with no hard sell. Today a friend consulted with her ... we all have the option to enhance our daily life with clear eyes.
Professional, friendly and caring staff. This was the best decision I made in my life. I truly appreciate Dr. Shamie for excellent job.
Dr Shamie is so nice, personable and caring. The staff is very professional and efficient. Imagine the doctor calling you the evening after the operation. The operation went very well. They keep you informed about all the way through the procedure. Great follow up. All the assistants were excellent specially Wanda who was so thorough in explaining and answering all of our questions with patience and smile. Communication for me is critical when dealing with doctors that's where Dr Shamie and her staff come up to the top of my list. I will recommend them to everyone.
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Shamie. The morning after my Refractive Lens surgery my eyesight was 20/15! Before my surgery my glass prescription was 7.5/8 diopters. This was a life game changer. So happy I went with Dr. Shamie. Not only did she do a great job, but she was $10,000 cheaper than another well known eye surgeon.
Went to Dr Shamie because of a friends great review and was glad that I did. Everyone was patient and kind. Answered all of my concerns.
I believe that Dr. Shamie and her team deserve the highest possible recommendation. The results of her advice, and most importantly surgery, significantly exceeded my expectations. Dr. Shamie’s pre-op advice was clearly, patiently and compassionately articulated and she assuaged my considerable anxiety for what I believed to be a high-risk procedure. My vision hasn’t been this good since I was 16 years old. If you are considering similar surgery, you owe it to yourself to consider her as your surgeon.
The staff was very friendly and efficient. I was sent a book and materials about cataracts before my first appt. so I could educate myself about what to expected through the whole process. That made me comfortable. My results with Dr Shamie are perfect and I am very appreciative of her expertise.
I am not only inspired via my vision, but I make my living designing and creating couture gowns. Capturing line and color and then translating that through fabrics and form can only be enhanced when I seek the ultimate nuance of tone, line, and shape. That's when these gifts become transferable to reality. Yes, I was nervous, but Dr. Shamie and her staff and team are not only at the height of their game, but lovely, charming people, too. It's a wonderful combination to feel safe with a widely recognized, highly skilled doctor, but giving kind, thoughtful information prior to, during, and upon completion of the procedure was an unexpected pleasure. I felt treasured as a client. I discovered I was born with mono-vision. With Dr. Shamie's skills 'brought them into focus'. Watch out World!
I would highly recommend Dr Maloney & Shamie vison eye institute . They are amazing they did not only correct me my eye vision, they brought life back to me. Thank you, Dr. Maloney & Dr. Shamie
A very complete process from beginning to the end I was personally comfortable with the information provided and always had a feeling that I would be well taken care of through the surgery to replace the cataract damaged lenses with my choice of replacement lenses
It was very nice. Fast, thorough, and professional with a nice friendly staff. I’m very glad that you helped me!!
Every step was well explained and the process was very professional. Everyone was friendly and helpful. And, most importantly, I can see perfectly now!
Excellent, professional, compassionate care
Attentive, professional staff and same care by Dr Shamie. Had cataracts removed & light adjustable corrective lenses. 20/20 vision with no glasses or contacts, hopefully for the rest of my life.
I had a great LASIK experience with Dr. Shamie. The team answered all of my questions at my consultation and made me feel comfortable. There was good communication in the lead up to my surgery. Day of surgery, the whole team did a great job. Would highly recommend! I’m 2 weeks out now with no side effects and great vision.
Excellent in all ways. Thrilled with the results!!
What a positve experince and easy procedure. I am so happy with the entire experiance from the moment it started until it was completed. I would recomend Dr. Shammie to anyone, and this comes from someone who doesnt usally make recomendations
I am happy to share my cataract surgery experience under the care of Dr. Neda Shamie. My optometrist had advised me that cataracts in both eyes were the reason that new prescriptions were no longer effective. She referred me to the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. My first impression of the office was how efficient, but calm it was. They provided literature outlining various choices of lenses as replacements. I studied the options and spoke with friends who had undergone cataract surgery. My decision was to go with "extended range" distance lenses for both eyes and to rely on "readers" for close up work - like crossword puzzles. Your choices may be more or less complex. Surgery day was a model of quiet efficiency. Despite patients being wheeled along to different work stations as an assembly line, I always felt well-taken care of and in the very best of hands. The whole procedure from check-in to check-out took a couple hours. The first procedure on my left eye was so smooth, I was totally relaxed going in for my right eye a month later. I am male, retired, age 77, have my share of health issues, but remain an avid cyclist. Also, do NOT see the 1929 film "Un Chien Andalou" by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel.
Very efficient leading up to & including the quick & painless cataract surgery itself. Back doing pretty much everything back to normal by the next day. Even got a follow up call from the Dr Shamie herself
I’m very happy with the outcome. Everyone was kind, courteous and quite helpful. I would definitely recommend Maloney and Shamie to my friends, family and colleagues.
Most professional and curtest staff and always helpful. Dr. Shamir is fabulous and a true pro
Very professional and excellent service! Highly recommended!
Dr. Shamie was able to squeeze me in for LASIK on short notice and everything was great! Loved the helpful staff and I couldn't be happier with the results
Fantastic experience, could not be happier. Every person I came in contact with was professional, knowledgeable, and very nice.
I am thrilled with the results of my lense replacement surgery by Dr. Shamie a few months ago. Dr. Shamie had a very calming and supportive approach to me as her patient. Her surgical skills were outstanding and impressive. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie. I also recommend Dr. Maloney. I had lense replacement on my left eye for reading and Lasik surgery on my right eyefor distance in 2013. He was amazing. I am still very happy with the results of this surgery. I have not needed to wear corrective eye glasses since 2013. I recommend that you trust in both Dr. Shamie and Dr. Maloney for your eye care and surgery.
Dr. Shamie and her team were the best! So glad I got it done <3
Very efficient, but willing to spend the time necessary to provide the best outcome. Opted to go with the light adjustable lenses and during the adjustment visits was not satisfied with the early results. The team opted to have me check out some different options which required additional sessions at no additional cost. They took the time to make the lenses work well for me. I highly recommend Malone-Shammie!
Outstanding physicians and support staff. Extremely efficient and caring. Among the finest experiences I’ve had anywhere as a patient.
The entire experience went extremely well. They set my expectations and then lived up to them. I sought them out because I had a rapidly advancing cataract as a result of a detached retina repair. It was so fantastic to complete my journey with my 20-20 vision back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had a cataract replacement surgery. Incredible service! Never waited. They remembered my name every visit. The process was explained so thoroughly. Outcome was amazing! I would highly recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute.
I am a dentist, so as you can imagine, doing lens replacements is a very big deal since my livelihood depends on it. I can not stress how professionally, efficiently and painless my experience Was with Dr. Shamie and her staff. They are absolutely the best. They are highly recommended.
Great experience from the start to the finish, highly recommend Maloney-Shamie. Dr Shamie is a superior physician
My experience was great. I tell my friends about it. Very nice team, extremely professional the office and the surgery location. Dr. Shamie is so experienced and she is a good person that really care. I thank the Vision Center for taking such a good care of me. Best Samuel
Professional, outstanding, personal, courteous..
Dr. Shamie is an extremely gifted surgeon who changed my life. My vision is so good I feel almost reborn. Just miraculous. I am sorry I put it off for as long as I did. My anxiety was unwarranted as I experienced no pain and the recovery was almost immediate. Thank you!!!!
Excellent from the original consultation through surgery and post surgery care.
I had the best surgeon, Dr Neda Shamie and her staff are superb and highly competent and professional. Love my new eyes after cataract surgery.
From beginning to end, everything went very smoothly. The experience was far less stressful than I had anticipated and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that I had crystal clear vision immediately after the surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Shamie!
I had a very good experience here everyone was very professional and my cataract surgery went very well and my vision is much improved.
Dr Shamie and the entire staff was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this Vision Institute to everyone. I am very happy with the result and extremely amaze how easy they made the procedure for me.
I should have done this before. It is changing my life. Now I can see colors bright colors ! An easy surgery with great rewards You did great all the way
Dr Shamie did an awesome job! It was so easy and the recovery was so fast! She was very organized and made sure to check everything before performing cataract surgery!
Very professional and welcoming office. I was seen promptly, the procedures were explained and the doctors are all quite personable and friendly
I needed cataract surgery and wanted the premium (multi-focal) lens, not covered by Medicare and which only a few opthomologists can perform. Dr. Shamie is a superb surgeon, very empathic, as is her entire office. Very professional, always on-time. The surgery was totally painless as was the recovery. Throwing away all my glasses forever! Highest recommendation!
Dr. Shamie is amazing! I felt I was in good hands. I don’t hesitate to recommend her to my friends.
Except for the copay for the surgical center, the information and timeline provided by your staff prepared me well as to what to expect
Experience with Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute was literally the best! Dr. Shamie and all of the staff provided outstanding service. Every staff person who I interacted with was efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They all communicated clearly and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. I highly recommend!!!
My mom got cataract surgery several weeks ago and she’s doing great! Dr. Shamie and team are top-notch professionals. From consultation to surgery to postoperative care, we always felt that we were in great hands. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the whole experience! Dr. Shamie is a consummate eye surgeon, and her reputation precedes her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing cataract surgery and/or vision enhancement.
I started going to the Maloney Vision Institute 20 years ago when I finally decided to get Lasik surgery. I did my research and the best around was Dr. Maloney. Through the years I have taken my Mother in to have her cataract surgeries and my husband had lasik surgery as well. As the years progressed, he has also had his cataract surgery here. Now after the best and most successful service time and again, I chose Dr. Shamie for my Cataract surgery. She did not disappoint. My vision is crystal clear and I couldn’t be happier. If you want the Best, the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute is the only place to trust your vision.
All appointments were timely and without delay. Staff was courteous, friendly and efficient. Dr. Shamie was thorough and conservative in her assessment. The surgery was painless, quick and with near instant results. Best of all, I can see better now, without any glasses or contacts, than I have in 30 years. Kudos to the entire group. Money well spent.
Everything in life happens for a reason. If it had not been for the pandemic, I wouldn't have met my new Optometrist Dr.Matsuda who after realizing I had cataracts, sent me to Dr.Shamie. This Optomologist is just absolutely wonderful!!! My cataracts were headed to the danger zone & night driving was just about out of the question. So very thankful for this beautiful soul. The procedure is quick & painless & my vision is 20/20 now with everything so bright, new & clear! Don't know why I waited so long. Highly recommended!!!👁👁
Outstanding surgery on my eye. Had it done at UCLA and I was in crying pain for two months. Could never see right out of it. Dr. Shamie fixed it when I thought it was impossible.
I had cataract surgery on both eyes recently. The process was easy, result was fantastic. I can see much better now. Great vision institution for all your eye care need.
Dr. Shamie is an awesome surgeon and her staff members are great. I had a very uneventful procedure and the results were even better than I expected.
Was very pleased with the care and results of a recent cataract surgery. All pre-op appoints were informative and thorough since there are several surgery options, clarity of options is important. The surgery was efficient and post op care was very good. Very pleased with the results.
Excellent experience. Great doctor. Friendly, knowledgable staff.
Absolutely perfect in every aspect, every way, every detail....Dr. Neda Shamie and Team are flawless and beyond all expectations!
Well… first of all, this is not my first surgery with Dr.Shamie (2016 DMEKs) but it is my first experience with the new office/practice. Appointments are prompt, organized and informative. I first set a surgery date for several months out to coincide with my new Medicare status but had to change it, twice. No problem. I had questions; easy answers. Plenty of clear paperwork, follow up emails and phone calls to make sure I was prepared and there were no surprises. The day of surgery, Dr.Shamie made her usual rounds to say hello and reassure me of a good outcome. After surgery, I experienced some bright white flashing and called in on a Saturday. The only glitch was when the paperwork said I could get in touch with someone 24/7 by calling the listed phone number…however when I called, the recording said to leave a message and they’d call back during regular business hours. I left a message and waited. No call back. Did that a few times then, feeling desperate, I found a chat box on the website and sent a message that way… finally I got a call back. It was just in time to drive out to the office from Pasadena before Saturday hours were over. Come to find out there was a technology glitch with the answering service. Then, good news, the flashing wasn’t serious and I went home relieved and seeing 20/15 with my new IOL! Yay! I’m a raving fan!
It's like a miracle. I have been extremely nearsighted all of my life. Then my night sight deteriorated. After surgery I can see better than I ever have.
Professional, personable, and skilled - handled all the details and follow up appointments scheduled and provided clear pre and post op instructions. Most of all, they suggested the right plan for my situation and the results were life changing.
I am so pleased with the results of my procedures. Everyone I came in contact with acted in a courteous and professional manner. Thank you Dr. Shamie!
Everyone at Maloney Shamie Institute was great. The staff there was great at explaining the process for the cataract surgery. Even Dr Shamie took the time to call me to say how the cataract surgery went into the late evening. I would highly recommend to anybody needing this type of surgery. THANKS DR SHAMIE!!!
Dr Shamie is a really good surgeon and a nice person. She made me feel comfortable throughout the process and communication was open and two way always. I highly recommend their services.
I had cataract surgery done. The entire experience was flawless. From the pre-op appointments to the surgery. From the reception staff to all the professionals who walked me through the examinations, and finally the surgery team. Dr. Shamie is amazing, with a very light touch. If you are considering cataract surgery, look no further than Dr. Shamie.
Everything went extremely good from the person who checked me till the end of the process. The staff is amazing and so helpful. My vision is wonderful and I can’t wait to do my other eye. It couldn’t have gone any better.
July 2022 was my second experience with Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute, having had Lasix surgery by Dr. Maloney in 2008. What a blessing it was to be able to see without contacts or glasses. However, as my eyes aged, I developed cataracts and was wearing reading glasses once again. I went to see Dr. Shamie for cataract surgery and was reassured by her calm demeanor in explaining the surgical procedure in detail as well as my options for the various types of implantable lenses. I chose the lenses that have a prescription for close-up vision in one eye and distance vision in the other. In the interim between the consultation and the surgery, I found the staff to be very responsive to the questions I asked or emailed. The procedures themselves (each eye, a week apart) took place at a Beverly Hills Surgery center where I found the nurses, techs and anesthesiologists to be efficient and professional. Within a day of each surgery, my eyes seemed totally recovered and I could read without glasses. Overall, my experience with Maloney-Shamie Vision was very positive and I recommend this practice without reservation.
My ophthalmologist advised me that I needed cataract surgery on both eyes and recommended Dr Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. All of my appointments and other contact with Dr Shamie and the staff at the Institute were professional and friendly. All of my questions were answered regarding the options for a replacement lens. The first surgery went well and it's been less than a week since the surgery on my other eye. I can now see as well as I could with my last pair of glasses and I'm told that my sight will continue to improve over the next few weeks as my eyes heal completely. I'm very pleased with my surgery results and my experience with the Institute. I would definitely recommend both Dr. Shamie and the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute.
excellent. Everyone was very pleasant and polite, while the surgery itself was successful.
Dr. Shamie did my Mother's cataract surgery. The procedure was done so quickly, painlessly, and beautifully. My Mother can't stop saying how clear her vision is post cataract surgery. She said last time she saw this clearly was probably when she was in high school. The staffs at Moloney-Shamie vision Institute are absolutely amazing! They are so patient and caring. We felt like we were really being cared for. The staffs at the surgical center were super friendly and nice too! Over all an excellent experience! I would recommend all of my friends and family to Maloney-Shamie Vision.
Extremely professional office and operation. I was very happy with the pre-surgery visit and the surgery itself. I cannot believe how much better my vision is. And, the colors! Wow!!!
I went in for corrective vision procedure. It was a highly emotional experience as I have very poor vision and I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. The care and kindness of each employee was above and beyond. They were so thorough in explaining every step along the way so there was no surprises- I don't think I've ever experienced such great care and service in a doctors office setting. Specifically, Ben was so welcoming and took great care of me prior to seeing Dr. Shamie. He was thoughtful and got to know my family history and prepared by reading all of my information before my appointment (he even remembered my Sons name and knew all of my concerns for procedure.) it was so comforting. No complications in and out promptly and healing well. So thrilled with my experience.
My husband first went to Dr. Maloney many years ago after a bad Lasik experience and Dr. Maloney saved his vision. He has had all his eye treatments since done at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. When I discovered I had cataracts I only trusted this office to do my procedure. From the moment we walked into the office we treated kindly and professionally. Dr. Shamie preformed my surgery and she was wonderful. My vision is great, I couldn't be happier. I will be going back for my other eye to be done. I highly recommend the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institue.
My cataract surgery went very well. Seeing 20/20 out of my left eye. Wish I could do the right eye now. Dr. Shamie and her entire staff were very professional and provided top notch service the entire process. Thank you all!!!
Very competent staff and doctors, very efficient and friendly!
The staff and Dr. Shamie were very professional, kind, and caring.
Excellent staff, efficient process, remarkable results.
The best experience anyone could have, with me being very cautions and nervous I was made to feel extremely comfortable with everything being explained to me with precise details and then carried out exactly as planned with caring and professionalism. Great Job!!!!!!
Totally excellent!
Dr Shamie and staff were amazing. Was a little nervous when I first went in. The fact that someone working on my eye. But once I spoke with each member of her staff, my nerves were at easy. Would refer them to family and friends.
Amazing staff and couldn’t be happier with the results. Best around.
My office exam experience was very thorough, and the staff and Dr. Shamie clearly explained what the procedure entailed. I was also given a lot of printed info and booklets to read which further explained the cataract removal and lens replacement procedures. The actual surgery is fairly simple and fast. Upon arrival at the surgery center, I had a few more papers to sign, drops put in my eye, an IV started and off I went. Nice to just be able to leave your clothes on and be able to walk out of the surgery center with no eye bandages. Dr. Shamie called me the evening after my surgeries to see how I was feeling. The next day after each surgery I went back to their office to have a check-up. I had also set up the portal with their office to be able to ask any questions and were promptly answered. I would highly recommend contacting Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute for your cataract procedures. A first-class experience for me!!!
Best possible experience ever. Dr. Shamie is beyond a consummate professional. Excellent bedside manner with just right balance of caring/kindness and directness. Immediately impressed withTanya Rivers phone and e-mail communication setting up double cataract exam and surgery. Brenda Villacorta’s intake interview in the most beautiful medical facility I’ve visited. You feel better just walking in the place as the lovely and fastidious Tiffany greets you and Jasmine sets appointments. Dr. Barnes and Dr. Park and Bens post op care continues to be patient, thorough and so caring. It was a great experience and I felt so safe.
It was a great experience! Your staff and Dr Shamie took time to answer my questions and explained what to expect. The procedure was smooth and went by in a flash. It amazes me how quickly I could see clearly again. I especially appreciate Dr Shamie's time and attention before, during and weeks after checking on my well being. Thank you , thank you, I would recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute 100%!!
"One of the top five surgeries I've ever seen," commented my optometrist the day after Dr. Shamie operated on my second eye for cataract and lens replacement. He knew how truly bad my eyesight was. The day after Dr. Shamie operated on my first eye, I was seeing without glasses, now a week later even 20/20. I didn't realize how compromised my vision, even my life, was. If you are hesitating, don't. Just think of the extra years of good vision Dr. Shamie can give you.
Perfect 👍🏼
Super professional. Extensive exam. Options for treatment. Quick and painless at the surgery center. No complications. Outstanding results.
The best ever! 20/20 vision after cataract surgery. Dr Shamie is the best!
Professional, expert care. Highly recommended without reservation.
Extremely thorough (more than 2 hour) exam at the well-organized office by pleasant, well-trained staff, who were in uniform. Lots of diagnostic equipment led to a choice between three options. No pushback by choosing just about the least expensive option. The two surgeries at a surgery center were separated by a week. Each took about 1.5 hours, including initial paperwork, procedure (very quick) and recovery. Follow-up after each surgery at the main office. An unexpected but much appreciated call in the evening by Dr. Shamie to check on me. I'm thrilled with the results.
I saw Dr. Maloney 30 years ago when he diagnosed an unusual cornea disease in my eyes. Recently I returned to him for cataracts and was privileged to be served by Drs. Shamie and Barnes. What a remarkable tag team of brilliant physicians who not only went the extra mile to ensure the health of my eyes, but knew how to deal with peculiarities of my surgery. I cannot praise the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute enough. I recommend them to anyone needing vision care and correction!
So impressed with the Incredible care and service I received. The entire staff was wonderful and helpful every visit and throughout my recovery. My surgeon Dr Shamie answered all my questions and made my surgery a smooth and stress free experience.
EXCELLENT Doctor Shamie and staff🙏
After six months and four procedures, healing and patience, marvelous Dr. Shamie, with the assistance of the Institute's gracious team of Optometrists, Techs and Staff have given me the gift of better and amazing sight (2 cornea polishings, 2 cataract removal-lens replacements). Clarity and definition of detail are beyond comprehension. I have worn glasses-thick as bottles-since 18 months and have never seen as well as now and with so much contrast and depth. Colors, light, and the beauty of humans, nature's flora and fauna are nuanced and even spectacular. Thank you for enhancing my life journey.
Very professional in removing my cataracts. I can see again! And there were no problems and no pain.
Dr. Shamie is top of the game, from the office to staff to surgical facility. I would highly recommend Dr. Shamie. Thank you for taking care of me.
Wonderful.....quick & easy...recovery fabulous.... Warmed blankets first class. Staff incredible & personable. Dr. Shamie...skilled 7 considerate.. I was floored with the evening check up call ! I am grateful for such great skill !
All were professional and very caring
I couldn't have asked for a more professional office staff, and a more compassionate and skilled surgeon as Dr. Shamie.
Every part of my experience, and my wife's was nothing less than perfect. The office staff and Dr. Shamey are the best there is. I wouldn't go anywhere else
Very experienced, neat, precise and follow up with herself calling in the same evening after the surgery.
Was a great experience. Really made a difference with my vision.
I had cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr. Shamie and her staff were so great from start to finish. Very courteous and helpful. I would recommend her group for any eye surgery.
I would highly recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. Every person I have been in contact with has been professional, caring and supportive.
Everyone there was very nice and caring. I did lasik and had 20/20 vision after just a couple hours.
Great individualized personal attention and no rush. Took time to explain things in as much detail as I wanted. Everything scheduling wise and surgery itself went smoothly and I was surrounded with super attentive caring medical professionals. Best part. NO MORE GLASSES!!!!
Wonderful all around. From start to finish I was treated with friendliness and respect. Everything about my situation was explained with clarity. My options were outlined (pros and cons individualized to my situation). I was so impressed.....and, post surgery, I'm even more impressed. Thank you!
Maximum professionalism, great bedside manner, kind & gentle and best of all wonderful results!
First rate staff. Dr. Ishighly skilled. I asked my primary optometrist to send me to the best in the world and she did
My experience at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute was in every respect first rate and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I’m enjoying the best vision of my life and realizing many fine details of the world around me that I hadn’t noticed before my surgery. Dr. Shamie was terrific and I’m SO thankful.
My experience was great . From the moment I entered the institute till the moment I left clinic where I had my surgery. Everybody was nice , helpful . Specially Dr Neda. Thank you all so much.
Dr. Shamie and her team were absolutely terrific. They were very professional and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They thoroughly examined my eyes and recommended PRK for me which was perfect because that was my original decision. On the day of the procedure, they examined my eyes again to ensure everything is good and helped me relax. Before I knew it, it was done in less than 10 minutes. Dr Shamie also gave me her number so that I could text her if I felt something was wrong and I appreciated the post-op support they have provided.
Quality of life, in my mind’s eye, is directly correlated to how good your vision may be. We are blessed to have wonderful vision, when it is working right, and at a constant diminution in the quality of life when it is not working right.We all appreciate how sensitive our eyes are in so it is with a great amount of trust and confidence, that I recommend Dr. Shamie for her skill, expertise, knowledge, accomplishments and flawless technique. She is the best of the best, of this I have no doubt..
First of all everyone in the office was so nice. This is the nicest medical office I have ever been too! What made me choose Dr. Shamir is that she is a female doctor in which made me feel so comfortable and relaxed during our virtual consult. Talking to her was like talking to a friend. The process was so easy! I was able to get all of my questions answered during the virtual consult and learned I could be fast tracked in which when I did go into the office for the in person consult and if everything was fine I would be able to get the procedure the same day! Everything went so fast and smoothly. There was little wait time in the office and I was in and out within 2 hours (which included all the tests and procedure)! Would definitely recommend this office and Dr. Shamir to anyone that is thinking of getting LASIK. Also Ben was so kind! He made me feel so calm and explained everything.
Surprisingly! An amazing experience for a person who has been dependent on glasses all their life. Everything went so smoothly from my evaluation to my surgery. I felt comfortable in all the surroundings in which the procedure took place. The follow through from the doctor and the staff was outstanding. I "LOVE" seeing.
Everyone was awesome and very caring and professional. Recommend to everyone.
It seemed from the start that they wanted me to have the best experience and get the best vision adjustment they could give. The office worked with me on payment plans and surgery schedules to make it easier for me which I appreciated. I am seeing my local doctor for after care (who recommended Dr. Shamie). One of the incisions in my first eye did not seem to close up immediately and Dr Shamie stayed in constant contact with my local doctor to help coordinate follow up and how to handle. She.has also called me at home several times to check in and is still working with my local doctor to consult with her on how the remaining inflammation is being cared for and ensure that all is going well. My surgery was recent so still a few follow ups to go but I feel like I am getting the best care and will continue to until everything is thoroughly healed. Thank you to all.
All personnel were informative and caring. The examination offices and the surgery were attractive and comfortable. My questions were answered and all procedures fully explained. And the cataract surgery was amazing! It was fast. Doctors and staff were caring and efficient. And I am amazed at the results! My vision is clear. No glasses needed for tv or driving or daily activities. My experience has indeed been four star!
I had one of those Too Good To Be True experiences here. Everything was quite literally perfect. The staff were all unbelievably helpful and accommodating. Dr Shamie did a masterful job with my lasik surgery. As almost everybody says, my only regret is that I waited as long as I did and didn't get it done sooner. 100/10 if you are thinking about lasik call them ASAP. GO GO GO
The best decision I could have made for myself and the best money spent on myself. I couldn't be more ecstatic to have 20:15 vision. I have been wearing glasses and contacts for over 15 years and all I kept asking myself is why I waited this long. No more buying glasses and contacts for me. I love my new and perfect vision!!! From the first consult to the day 1 post op visit at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute has been an amazing experience. Dr. Shamie answered all my questions and the office staff was always available by text or email to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. The procedure was so quick and Dr. Shamie was there to talk you through the whole process. I never felt like I was just a number but rather a very well cared for patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Shamie to any of my friends and relatives!!!
Excellent, personalized service. Dr. Shamie is the very best, and the outcome far exceeded my expectations.
My experience at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute was outstanding. Lovely office, great staff, and excellent doctors. Dr. Shamie in particular was amazing and far exceeded my expectations. She took time to impart knowledge, discuss procedure options, and during surgery, made sure to provide support and information all throughout the procedure. Would highly recommend!
Very nice. Very detailed. Very quick. Very clean. They also accommodated my 1-day post-op since my optometrist wasn't in that day. Couldn't be happier.
The Dr was amazing and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend her. It was one of the easiest surgeries I have had.
Dr. Shamie performed PRK surgery on me in late July. I was not a candidate for LASIK due to my thin cornea layer. Dr. Shamie was open and honest during her diagnosis and recommendation. I did not feel pressured to have the procedure. Her tech staff, and intern Doctor, were very supportive in explaining the process and results. I did feel that the front desk could use a bit more training in bedside manner and courtesy. One woman was a bit off putting. If it were not for Dr. Shamie’s warm demeanor and stellar reputation as well as her clinical staff, I may have gone elsewhere.
I was referred to Dr. Shamie for cataract surgery. Being a senior person I am very set in what I expect from a doctor. Believe me, Dr. Shamie and her entire staff more than met my expectations. I cannot express enough how Dr. Shamie has such a wonderful "bed-side" manner from the time she first examines you until the actual procedure. It is very hard to find doctors that have "bed-side" manners but this doctor is wonderful. Thank you.
From the moment I arrived everyone was friendly, professional and informative - That made me relax, which made me feel safe in their care. Dr. Shamie was amazing. She called me the next day to check up on me - That is rare and so is she.
They are very knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased. I drove 100 miles to use their services.
From the beginning till the end i Always got informed for the steps to come, very pleasant,after the surgery I Always got contacted from Dr. Shamie about the my wellbeing, thank you again for the new view, no caterac feel like 20/20 ,Alex
The office runs like a well oiled machine. Very efficient with an engaged and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Shamie could not have been better. She was terrific to work with. Kind, intelligent and available for questions every step of the way. The result was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Likely one of the best experiences I could’ve asked for. Made an appointment for my consultation, preemptively scheduled my surgery for later in the day. No real time to think, go in and get it done. Getting Lasik done was faster than getting a tire change on your car.
I highly recommend Dr. Shamie for anyone considering cataract surgery. The Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute did a great job in preparing me for my surgery and Dr. Shamie texted me to check if there were any post-op problems. My optometrist was surprised that Dr. Shamie was able to achieve a 20/20 result since my vision had a high prescription. Thanks Dr. Shamie. This office may not be one of the cheapest opinions but definitely one of the best.
Spectacular experience no pain during or after cataract surgery I can see much better more colorful and clear after cataract surgery they even gave me free eyedrops to take home so I wouldn’t have to drag myself to a pharmacy after having surgery unlike UCLA where I had a very rough experience and my eye hurt for six months after the surgery there and was several thousand dollars more
Shamie was such an amazing doctor. I went in being so nervous and she put me at ease. She walked me through the entire Lasik procedure the week before and then during the actual procedure she made sure I was comfortable and spoke the entire time to me. It's almost been a month out from the procedure and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm so glad I found them.
WOW! This could not have been a better experience for me. I have always been really terrified to touch or go anywhere near my eyes, even eye drops were impossible for me so I have been wearing glasses exclusively with no contacts since 2nd grade. When I went in for my consultation at Maloney-Shamie, they made me feel so comfortable and reassured me with the whole process. The day of LASIK they eased my fears (the sedative helped lol) and the whole thing was over with super quickly, with Dr. Shamie talking me through it the entire way. They made one of my biggest fears something I could overcome and now I have literally perfect vision. I even got a message from Dr. Shamie that same night to check in and make sure I was doing okay. I cannot recommend them enough, if you've been thinking about LASIK but have been out off by your fears -- I highly recommend taking the leap to at least get a consultation. I can guarantee you will not regret it!!
I found out 6 years ago that a had Fuchs Dystrophy. I had no idea what is was and was referred to Dr. Shamie . She was wonderful in the way she explained it detailing that it is hereditary and shows up as we age. She explained how I had the beginning stages and I wouldn't need her services for another 5 or 6 years. Fast forward 6 years and I can't tell you what a difference in my eyesight. The procedure to correct this is called DMEK. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and I am so pleased with the result. Everyone from the office to the Surgical center were kind and calming. I have already scheduled my other eye for DMEK and can't wait to have clear focused eyes again. I would recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute for All vision challenges.
Wonderful experience! Needed cataracts removed. All concerns and questions answered during consultation. Dr. Shamie presented various options for IOL and reviewed pros and cons based on my specific eye issues. Actual procedure went very smoothly and my vision is now absolutely amazing.

All of the nurses, doctors and staff were very pleasant and helpful. During the procedure I felt very safe because there was a lot of communication about what was going on and reassurance during the process. And I highly recommend Dr. Shamie and this vision institute. My recovery was easy and quick and I’m so happy I finally can see so well.
I had my first eye surgery a week ago, so I cannot elaborate much on the results as my vision is still adjusting. However, Dr. Shamie is very caring and made me feel well taken cared of. Her anesthesiologist is also amazing and makes you feel really safe. I appreciate Dr. Shamie personally calling me the day after my surgery and the following day. I totally recommend Malone- Shamie Institute for your Vision needs.
Best experience! It was clear from the first time I set foot into the office that this was a top notch practice, one with the best quality and patient experience. I trusted them implicitly and can now see perfectly without contacts or glasses. Thank you!
I have seen both Dr. Maloney and Dr. Shamie and I was very happy and trusting of their opinions and treatment. All of their staff were on time, efficient, nice and very professional. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute and wouldn't go anywhere else for my eye health.
My Lasik Eye Surgery Experience Was Beyond Expectation Starting From The Customer Service To The Surgery Procedure. Everyone Is Very Friendly & Professional.I Definitely Felt Very At Ease Going Into Surgery. When It Comes To Something Very Delicate As Your Eyes You Definitely Want To Get The Best Of The Best & I Have Definitely Recommended Dr. Shamie And The Institute . She Was Great Usually With Any Dr. They Just Go In & Do Their Job & That’s It. Not With Her, She Kindly Walked Me Through Every Step Before, During & After Procedure. She was Very Encouraging During The Surgery & Helping Me Feel At Ease Letting Me Know Everything Was Going Perfect. Overall It Was An Amazing Experience Wish I Would’ve Done It Sooner. Thank You So much.
Very well run and advanced office. The drs and all of the staff answered all of my questions and were available to speak when I called in after my procedure.
I just had the best experience and most successful cataract surgery done by Dr Shamie! Everything from the first appointment through my last post op exam was done professionally and with my comfort in mind! Both the technician and Dr Shamie explained the different choices I had for the success I was looking for. I choose pan optics and within 24 hours of the first surgery I was reading and driving without my glasses. After the second surgery (performed 1week apart) I was using my IPAD with no glasses. I’m now glasses free! I can’t say enough about how satisfied and thrilled I am with my new vision! I would recommend Dr. Shamie to anyone wanting to improve their eyesight due to cataracts!

EVERYONE I ENCOUNTERED FROM FIRST DAY CONSULTATION TO FOLLOW UP, THOUGH THE FOLLOWING DAY/WA HELPFUL AND PLEASANT..MY SURGERY WENT VEEY SWIFTLY AND ON BEING EXCUSED ..IT WAS COMFORTING AND (NECESSAY ) TO BE ACCOMPANIED.
I was given all the information to decide what I needed. The operation process was great as I had no pain and great sight immediately. I would highly recommend them in all aspects of the operation. It is wonderful to get full sight back so easily. I am enjoying colors and shapes I haven’t seen in years. Thanks to them for such great results.
It's been a few weeks since my procedure and everything is looking really good. They were really professional and helpful throughout the process, the surgeon is the one you get to meet during your assessment which is reassuring to know that they're seeing your results and speaking with you prior to operating on you. I've been to other places where you wouldn't even meet the surgeon until they're about to operate on you. Dr. Shamie was amazing and even made sure to reach out afterwards to make sure you're doing okay, and is there to answer any questions you have. The only down side is - for a place that's charging quite a lot they only validate parking the day of your procedure and won't do so for the next day / follow ups. It would have been nice to not have to worry about that especially when you come in early the next morning for a check up while still having blurry vision. the garage is SUPER expensive.
My experience at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute was a very positve one. As a healthcare professional for over 30 years I know how a medical practice should function. One of the first things I recognized was a very well organized patient flow from the time I entered the front desk, throughout all the testing, interaction with Dr. Shamie and finally check out. The wait times were very short. The surgical center had the same feel as the office, a well oiled machine. I performed an in depth study of physcians performing cataract surgery before I chose The Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. They ended up being #1 on my list. The outcome of my surgeries was proof that Dr. Shamie has an extremely high skill set and in addition has a great bedside manner.
Wonderful care. Very thoughtful treatment plan. Extremely professional.
How far above outstanding can get? It's beyond that. I have a serious illness for 50 years and have seen many specialists. Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute is by far the best. I had a two month crying painful recovery from a cornea replacement doctor from UCLA. He just said I couldn't tolerate pain well despite numerous joint fusions and replacements. Instead of a cornea replacement, Maloney-Shamie advised a two minute in office procedure. It worked! Now I don't need the cornea replacement. I love them!
I hesitated for so long because we spend life listening to other people’s opinions what if? To much! I would spend $600-900 in designer frames then then another 800 to put my prescription in all to look sharp try doing that for 8 different pairs add it and it don’t come Close!! I could actually see now my nose is not itching this Dam mask is no longer fogging my vision. This was so quick and so easy I’ve already recommended all my friends if your checking for reviews this is the place I’m not getting paid I’m just grateful thank you the worse part was having to update my face unlock on the phone 😂 it didn’t recognize me.
I had right-eye DMEK with Dr. Shamie, and my wife had both of her cataract surgeries with her. She is a consummate professional with superb surgical technique as well as a warm and caring bedside manner. We are fortunate indeed to be within easy driving distance. We'd be hopping on a plane otherwise, Dr. Shamie is just that good. Especially for a Fuchs patient as I am.
Due to Covid, my cataract surgery was delayed until this month. My first appointment was in March, so, surgeries were delayed and was told they would call and schedule when things were open. I did not hear from them by September. I called to hear that surgeries were back since May. My file fell through the cracks. Dr Shamie called me directly to apologize for this. I appreciated this and went ahead with the surgery this month. I was thrilled with how it all went at the surgery center and the results of the surgery!. Everyone was efficient, professional and kind. I recommend Dr Shamie and the Specialty Surgery Center.
I honestly cannot say enough about the level of expertise and gracious service that Dr. Shamie and her whole office and medical team provide. I had two DMEK surgeries and one cataract surgery, so I have plenty of experience to refer to. Dr. Shamie is passionate about her work. It's not just a job, it's her calling, and you can feel that as she listens carefully and brings her full attention as she treats you and addresses any and all questions or concerns along the way. And her team operates like an olympic relay team, with smooth transitions and strong performances in every role. They're not just good at their jobs, but they're good people with warm hearts and you feel that at every step of the process. You are in good hands with Dr. Shamie and her team of powerful woman!!
Dr. Maloney did lasiks on my eyes about 10 years ago and recently did cataract surgery on my one eye. He has done an excellent job and I'm very grateful!
I was very apprehensive about having corrective corneal replacement surgery (DSEK) having had problems with cataract removal in my left eye. What a success it has been, though. After only one week my eyesight is better than I could have expected. Both my surgeon, Dr. Shamie, and the ophthalmologist, Dr. Vogel, have been professional and positive. Although I don't require the same type of surgery on my other eye, just cataract removal, I am thinking seriously of making the trek to Westwood because I trust them explicitly.
Wow, I couldn't believe how clear I could see right after leaving the surgery center. My distance vision was fantastic and the improvement was huge. It took more than 24 hours for the dilation to go away, so my close up vision took a little while. My post op reports on my vision and eye condition have been excellent. They said they came very close to the target vision they aimed for. Thank you! Mark Wirth
Best decision was to do have Dr. Maloney perform this operation. Great results and great appreciation for the staff’s attitude towards meeting my needs and focusing o. Me as the customer
Dr Shamie is an innovative, skilled, and caring Dr. and Surgeon. I have had 2 very successful cataract surgeries and one corneal transplant, and am very happy to be under her care. I highly recommend her. Her staff is professional and supportive as well.
Dr Shamie of Maloney Vision Institute, is an innovative, skilled eye Surgeon and Physician. After my first appointment with her, I knew I could fully trust her decisions and her treatment of my eye medical needs. In my several years under her care, this has proven to be true. In her medical office, she is welcoming and personable, thorough in her testing and exams, a good listener, and fully explains treatment needed. I am seeing her for Fuch's Disease, and she takes time to further educate me concerning the disease, and available treatments. She excels in personalizing treatment for my current needs, and future needs. Her staff is friendly, professional, and supportive in my care. The appointments never feel hurried. Surgery with Dr Shamie is a privilege. Her passion and skill is legendary in her field. Dr Shamie has performed two cataract surgeries, and recently, one corneal transplant on my eyes. She approaches the surgery with an individualized plan, timed my surgeries to make sure it was best for my condition with Fuch's, and each time was very present to my concerns and fears. In my cataract surgeries she was able to correct my vision as much as she could and works within the confines of the eye disease. As a person who needed glasses to see the clock in the morning, it was a miracle. The corneal surgery was amazing as well, required only 24 hours on my back, and has been successful. Truly, a gift to see without glare, and regain confidence in my vision. Before surgery, she greeted me, during surgery informed me of progress and reassured me, and phoned after surgery to check on me. She followed up with an appointment the next day. When I was diagnosed with this eye disease, I went to the internet and found a very helpful website and blog concerning Fuch's disease. That is where I first heard of her skill, and in the larger world of her profession,she has a wonderful reputation. I am so impressed she regularly lectures and shares her findings in her area of expertise for Doctors and patients. She is dedicated to her field and patients. As a person she is a joy, and is fully present.and it is evident she loves her profession, is passionate about vision, and loves her patients. I am thankful!
I had two cornea transplant attempts from another doctor. I could not see from my eye for over three months! I was so depressed and handicapped all this time. When I found Dr Shamie, read all her reviews, phoned my ophthalmologist and was told she was one of the best. I scheduled an appointment as soon as possible. The minute I walked into Maloney Vision Institute I knew I was in the right place. All the staff, doctors and Neda Shamie made me feel comfortable. I scheduled my surgery with Dr Shamie the next week. The day after surgery when my bandage was removed I had my vision back! Thank you Maloney Vision Institute and Dr Shamie. Dr Shamie is a master surgeon. Thank you, thank you so much! Very greatful, Ellen
Incredible experience and results! From setting my appointment, consultation through surgery and follow-up, Dr. Moloney and his staff provide first class and caring service. Thank you.
The optometrist who referred me to the Maloney Institute said this is where he would send his parents. He was right. Dr. Maloney and staff were amazing!
Great experience from the office visit to having cataract surgery. Dr. Maloney is very thorough with his care and answers any questions. He is always very professional and so is the office staff.
They were generous with information, attentiveness, and of course treatment was superb.
I was very happy with my cataract surgery. It went perfectly, and my eye doctor said Dr. Maloney did excellent work, as usual.
I received the best care possible. I had a partial corneal transplant and it was flawless! Dr. Shamie provided excellent pre-operative information, and post-operative follow-up. Her staff was equally wonderful. I feel blessed that I was referred by my doctor to Dr. Shamie's care and expert services!
The Maloney-Shamie Eye Surgery practice is outstanding.I am now one month post cataract surgery and my vision is excellent. I consulted several other cataract surgery clinics over the last few years but was unimpressed. Then I recently asked my new optometrist for a referral and she immediately recommended the Maloney Shamie practice in Westwood. Booking the appointment was easy and I was seen within a few weeks. The clinic is well managed. The staff are smart, pleasant and work well together. All of my testing was done the same morning and then I met Dr Shamie. She is smart, thoughtful, pleasant,and patient-oriented. She reviewed the test results and answered my questions so clearly. She is the only consultant that actually asked me what I wished to accomplish from the surgery. We then discussed options, costs and potential benefits and side effects. At that point, I realized she would be my surgeon. We booked dates for surgery. The outpatient surgery clinic was very good and all the staff that I met were superb. The sedation was safe, adequate and the surgery was painless. This clinic is a model of how healthcare should be given.
I knew for a few years that I was developing cataracts, but the impact became significant enough this year to motivate me to seek treatment. I scheduled an appointment with a local ophthalmology specialist. I learned from him that the radial keratotomy (RK) procedures I had performed of thirty years ago to correct my nearsightedness was going to present challenges for achieving living glasses free and the increased risk of RK during cataract surgery. He referred me to Dr. Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie Eye Institute (MSVI). I flew into LA for an initial consultation. I was familiar with some of the instruments but there were a host of different tests to better map the deformity of my cornea created from the 8 RK incisions in each eye. At the end of the testing I was able to spend time with Dr. Shamie to discuss the available lens options. Based on my legacy RK, it came down to traditional cataract removal with standard lens, laser cataract removal with standard lens and light adjusted lenses (LAL). RK patients typically require continued reliance on corrective glasses following cataract surgery and I was interested in being glasses free, so the light adjusted lens option was particularly attractive. But for me, the time commitment to complete the series of light treatments to achieve the best outcome was not feasible so I opted for the laser surgery with the standard lens. Dr. Shamie and her staff did an excellent presentation of my options. I was listened to and all my questions were answered. My decision to move forward with Dr. Shamie was primarily driven by her proven and easily recognized dedication to science and the practice of her chosen field. Having been published over fifty times together with her professional accomplishments provided me with significant confidence and comfort of moving forward with her care. Scheduling was a breeze and I totally appreciated the online electronic forms. It's so annoying in these times to have to fill out paper forms that are excruciatingly redundant. All my staff interactions were great. The level of professionalism and friendliness contributed to a near perfect overall experience. Appointment wait times were incredibly short. My surgeries were separated by one day with a post op check-in between and after the second eye. The first eye exceeded all expectations when I woke up the next day and when I learned that I had 20/20 vision in my right eye! The second eye is still settling in, but I haven’t worn glasses for four days! And, oh my the colors and clarity are mind blowing! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. And would encourage anyone in need of her care to check her out with a consultation.
Its been 25 years of wearing contact lenses. During the year 2022, I spent the majority of it wearing eyeglasses due to severe dry eyes. I didn't want to get back into contact lenses due to developing severe dry eyes and can get even worse. I wasn't a candidate for lasik for 2 reasons. My severe myopia and severe dry eyes. I decided on having ICL (implantable collamer lens) at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I am beyond ecstatic with my results done by Dr. Shamie. Words can't express how I feel waking up being able to see clearly.
5+ Stars to Dr Shamie and her staff for ALL aspects of initial consultation, evaluation of cataracts, pre operative care, surgical outcome, and post op follow up. The office is modern and runs on time; the staff is professional and courteous. Dr Shamie is personable, compassionate extremely well trained, and surgically precise. She offers all available state of the art options for safe, effective cataract surgery and lens implants. I could not be happier with the results achieved and am 100% confident in recommending Dr Shamie and her team. Dr. T
Magic to be able to see!!! The institute is wonderful….everyone i spoke with was helpful, professional and very very nice. Dr Shamie is amazing. I felt very well taken care of
Dr. Shamie is absolutely top rate. My vision is excellent, no complications. The process was efficient, professional and comfortable, no pain at any stage. This procedure added many years to my functional life. My most sincere thanks. Jerry Day
One of the most amazing experiences! Pre-Op was simple and everything that would happen was explained very well. Left no questions. Rolled into the OR and literally within 15 minutes I was rolled out back to recovery room. Such kind and gentle folks there. I felt I was in good hands at all times. Thank you!
This is the Rolls Royce of eye surgeries, particularly for premium focal cataract surgery. This multi-lens surgery allows you to correct both near-and far-sightedness, throwing away all glasses forever. But it's not covered by Medicare. My surgery was done by Dr. Shamie-- very professional. The out-patient surgery itself is only 15 min., in their own facility, with follow-up appointments. The entire staff--including optometrist Dr. Luu-- are empathic, always on-time. This surgery was worth every penny!
Dr. Shamie is magnificent. Her touch is delicate and her work precise. I couldn't recommend her more highly
Dr. Shamie, all the doctors, and office staff are excellent! I've had nothing but positive experiences. I highly recommend!!!
Like a miracle. I threw away my driving glasses after the cataract surgery. Dr. Shamie is a terrific surgeon.
I am a very picky with health care providers as I work in healthcare/sciences. Initially I was just going in for a consult, thinking I'd get two opinions and decide, but the care and service here had me locked in and I walked out of there with two eyes lasered. The tech doing all the pre testing was great, told me why each test was needed and how it helped them figure out what would best suit my needs. Dr. Shamie came in and was warm, clear and honest about what laser could and couldn't do for my vision and made me feel confident that if I was going to trust anyone to laser my eyes, she's a good choice. So I did it and believe it was the best investment ever. I feared the possibility of dry eyes because that was my problem with contacts but I followed their recommendations to a T to avoid any period of dryness in the first month and have had no real issues. Occasionally I get dry but nothing like what I experienced with contacts so all in all waking up and seeing clear and not having to deal with contact eye fatigue makes it all worth it to me and I would recommend Dr Shamie and this center for sure.
SO grateful for Dr. Shamie for my perfect vision. I had my lasik procedure a little less than a month ago and my eyes are perfectly healed and seeing great! My eyes were a little on the dry side for a week or two during the healing process (as expected) but now at 4 weeks post op they feel pretty perfect! I just got back from a trip to visit relatives in Texas and I had such a blast boating and swimming in the lake without having to worry about contacts or glasses. So stoked!!!
Exceeded my expectations. My surgeon Dr Shamie and the entire staff provided the highest level of care and service during my surgery and recovery. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. They made my first time having surgery the ideal experience.
What an amazing experience! I've been considering LASIK for a while now and have met with several surgeons over the last few years, and after meeting with Dr. Shamie and all the other amazing team at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute, it was easy to finally pull the trigger and choose Dr. Shamie to perform my LASIK. The entire process from the first initial appointment, the actual procedure (which was so quick, painless, and easy) to the follow up post-op appointments, was amazing. I can't say enough good things and I've already referred a few friends.
Im in my 40s and have wanted to get LASIK for many years. I've worn contacts since I was a teenager. My prescription was quite high , at -5 per eye ( miopia ) . I was referred to this clinic by a friend. From the first consultation I was impressed with the attentiveness and care from Dr. Neda Shamie and her team. The technicians took time to answer every single question I had. I had the surgery on January 27th. I was so nervous on the day of the surgery but Dr Shamie and the girls put me at ease. Dr Shamie has the hands of an angel , she was so gentle during surgery and walked me through the whole procedure while operating on my eyes. The surgery itself lasted about 10 minutes. The recovery wasn't bad either - I dealt with dry eyes / slight blurry visions for a few days but nothing compared to -5 miopia ! I've referred quite a few friends to this clinic and I'm not sure why I didnt do this sooner ! Thank you Dr Neda Shamie for restoring my vision. I highly recommend this clinic if you're considering doing LASIK. The best of the best !
Both my children had went there. My daughter was almost legally blind and thanks to Dr. Shamie she can see without glasses and only needs them to read. My son got lasik. Great follow up with patients. Love you guys!
My bf did his Lasik with Dr Shamie early 2021 and he made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to choose Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute for my Eye Lasik. I did my consultation oct21,2021 and did the surgery same day lol!!! Wonderful staff and extremely skilled and caring surgeon. Dr. Maloney was warm and friendly, and my Lasik took less than 10 mins! I couldn't believe how fast it was! Immediately after it was over, I stood up and could see a significant difference in my vision and only had a little fog in my vision. Recovery was painless, woke up the next morning seeing a brand-new world - it was amazing I was seeing 20/20. Now I am two weeks out and seeing even better. Have some halos at night but I can already tell they are getting better every day. The staff is so sweet and scheduling follow ups is easy with great text reminders. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering Lasik Thank you all so much!

I had a wonderful experience. The office staff are super nice. Dr Shammie polished my corneas and performed cataract surgery on me. I can't recommend her enough. She a fabulous doctor!
Lasik is life-changing... Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute has the latest technology and staff that allowed for my procedure to be stress and anxiety-free. Dr Shamie was very meticulous in her craft!
Highly recommend for LASIK consultation and surgery. Dr. Shamie's staff is incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the procedure. I had a TON of questions and spoke with multiple members of Dr. Shamie's team. All knowledgeable and answered in a way that was understandable. The procedure itself is quick and you'll be in/out in less than a hour. Dr. Shamie has a presence that is inviting and her confidence is palpable. Knocked out when I got home and missed a call from her office checking in on me. When I didn't answer, Dr. Shamie herself texted me to see how I was doing. It's now been ~24 hours since my LASIK and everything is going well. If you've been on the fence about LASIK or Dr. Shamie, then I hope this review helps you take the plunge. Schedule an appointment and "see" firsthand for yourself :)
Dr. Shamie performed a life changing cataract removal and lens implementation flawlessly. Medical doctors staff at the office and surgery center are awesome. Highly recommend
