Cataract and Advanced Lenses Testimonials
The procedure went very well and improved the reading acuity in the eye. The staff were very attentive and organized.
I had cataract surgery on both eyes by Dr, Hura. Everything went beyond my expectations. The original exam, the scheduling, the procedure, and the follow up. Dr Hura texted me the day of my surgery to make sure I was feeling OK after the surgery. Everyone was very professional and friendly.
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

He texted me in the evening to see how I was and texted me back within minutes when I had a few questions ..the whole team there are compassionate and easily reached when I had any questions .. Very caring staff .. I always felt like I was in the best of hands …
Excellent from the first appointment through the surgeries and follow-up. Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough
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.
I strongly recommend Dr. Hura for cataract surgery. I have macular degeneration in both eyes and my cataracts were making my vision so bad I feared I was going blind. Dr. Hura recently performed cataract surgeries on both my eyes, and the surgeries were so successful that after wearing glasses and contact lenses for 70 years, I no longer require any correction at all for distance. I still require reading glasses, but that is only because the lens options available to me were limited by my macular degeneration. I am thrilled with the results of my surgeries and I will recommend Dr. Hura any chance I get.
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. Hura and the staff at Malone-Shamir Vision Institute were professional and caring. My mom required special care and attention because she is 89 and has dementia. Dr. Hura performed cataract surgery on both eyes and repaired my mom’s damaged eyes. She walked gingerly because she couldn’t see and had trouble seeing food on her plate. Within a week my mom could see much better and her eyes looked clearer and healthier. The staff also were incredibly warm and helpful. I highly recommend to anyone who needs cataract surgery!!!
The personal care, professionalism, and the superb results are a testament to the excellence of the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I have referred friends to Dr. Neda Shamie who are scheduled for surgery at this institute.
It was amazing how easy it was!! The nurses are very competent as well as empathetic. I was terrified before my first visit as my mother had lost sight in one eye, and came in with my blood pressure very high. The nurse calmed me down and helped me breathe. It was a piece of cake from there on. I have already recommended Dr. Shamie to others planning cataract surgery.
Professional, patient & satisfying.
"If you need anything regarding your eyes, this is the place to be!
"From the moment you check in at reception to when you leave, you feel comfortable.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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 felt well cared for and in skilled hands throughout the procedure. Everyone was professional yet friendly.
Excellent service great results excellent staff
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!!
A wonderful experience and well worth the drive from Pasadena. This is the premier eye surgeon in Southern California. Neda Shamie and her team are truly warm and exceptional professionals. If you’re considering cataract or more complex eye surgery this is the place to go.
I had cataract surgery and it could not have gone any better. Not only did they take care of the cataracts I also had lens replacement and no longer need glasses or contacts. My vision before the surgery was -550. Now I am 20/20 and 20/15.
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.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"
It was an awesome experience. Fantastic customer service and Tanya was the greatest. Dr. Shamie is a great surgeon and caring doctor. Loved Loved the entire experience. ❤️
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.
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.
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.
Great! Perfect! I can see again and the experience was easy, painless, and transformative. Dr. Shamie is amazing.
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.
The staff at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute were so kind and professional. They made my experience with two laser cataract surgeries very comfortable. I especially loved Dr. Hura who is outstanding. I highly recommend him if you need cataract removal surgery.
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.
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!
I am so utterly happy with my experience with Dr. Shamie and her team of doctors and staff at Maloney-Shamie-Hura 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
My experience with Dr. Neda Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura 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.
Dr. Shame was fabulous, personable, caring, and the results of my cataract surgeries are transformative. I'd give her six stars if I could.
My cataract surgery experience was the best it could be.
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.
The very best care!!!! Answered all my questions completely. My surgery could not have gone more smoothly.
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.
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.
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!
Sincerest gratitude to Dr.Hura and all the Staff at Maloney-Shamie Vision Center, including the Surgery Center Staff. All were professionally excellent as well as kind and supportive through my two cataract surgeries. My vision is now excellent and I felt like I was in great hands throughout. Dr. Hura, you are amazing, thank you so much!
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.
Extremely well-planned patient experience, friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely office. Oh, and excellent results!
Efficiently run office. Knowledgeable staff. Dr. Hura was great. My cataract replacement process went smoothly.
The LAL implant procedure was a phenomenal success, Dr. Hura and team are superb.Wish I had done my right eye with Dr. Hura at MM. Nearly 20/20 and can read fine print with no glasses!
Professional, personable & all around great experience from check in to surgery.
"Dr. Hura and Dr. Smith are exceptional
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.
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.
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.
I was disappointed by lack of interest in long term follow-up. the
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.
Very professional experience. I highly recommend. You will be pleased with your results.
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.
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.
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!
"5+ Stars to Dr Shamie and her staff for ALL aspects of initial consultation, evaluation of cataracts, preoperative 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. "
"Top notch staff and doctors. Always very professional. I was educated and well informed throughout the process. I always felt completely heard and understood and my questions were always answered. During the surgery Dr. Hura continually reassured me that "I was doing great" and that everything was going perfectly. I felt that the doctors and staff who do this day in and day out never took my concerns lightly or for granted. My case was as important to them as it was to me. The results of my cataract surgery far exceeded my expectations."
"The staff are amazing and Dr. Hura did a great job on my cataract surgery. I highly recommend their office! I can see out of my left eye now, 20/20."
"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!"
"Everyone in the office from the reception to all the technicians and the doctors were so awesome and all of them put me at ease at such a traumatic moment for me. Dr. Hura was so caring and so knowledgeable, and I easily knew all will be well; and I relaxed. I am truly grateful to everyone and feel so fortunate I had my cataracts surgery … each time I gaze at such a clear world now I thank the technology and the expertise of your office."
"This practice is thorough, well organized, and very easy to deal with. They explained things clearly and patiently and were responsive when something unexpected happened between my initial exam and the surgery. Dr Hura did a fine job on the cataract surgery, and recovery was painless, uneventful, and proceeded exactly as they predicted it would. "
"What an amazing place this is! Very thorough, knowledgeable, and so helpful! I was really unsure of having cataract surgery - the thought of someone or something cutting my eyes is really scary - but the team there, especially Wanda, as well as Dr. Shamie herself, made me feel such at ease to the point that I can't wait for the surgery! All questions were answered, a ton of tests done so that there were no surprises in the procedure, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to Dr. Cooper for the recommendation!"
"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."
"Dr Shamie did my operation and initial evaluation. It was a complete success in every sense of the word. I had a very complex cataract removed and it went perfectly. I felt no pain, no discomfort (except for the IV, of course) either before-during-or- after. I can see very well (I still need glasses, or course), I no complaints now one-week later, and tears almost came to my eyes as I was able to see so well the colors and details I had never seen before. Thank you, Dr. Shamie."
"Dr Neda Shamie performed a cornea transplant and cataract replacement. In my left eye a year and a half ago. The initial results were fabulous. Dr Shamie was my hero. It's a long healing process, with removal of stitches, a few at a time. After the first two removals, the vision wasn't as great, and then I had an episode of rejecting the transplant! Dr. Shamie got me through the rejection, and then the next removal of stitches dramatically improved my vision in hours, and it has stayed amazingly good, 20/25! Dr. Shamie is a miracle worker. She's still my hero!"
"Dr. Neda Shamie of the Maloney Shamie Vision Institute is without question the best. This easily tossed around phrase is meant for doctors like Neda Shamie. I have Keratoconus in both eyes and unable to wear glasses and have worn contacts since I was 12 years old. Dr. Shamie took my very complicated eye case several years ago and her primary goal was to get me the "best vision possible". I required a corneal transplant in my left eye and a year and a half of very careful, patient after care. I then had cataract surgery and Dr. Shamie inserted a toric lens in my eye and I now no longer wear contacts and have 20-30 vision, with the possibility of improvement over the coming weeks! She will perform cataract surgery on my right eye soon and I will not have to wear contacts at all. For someone like me who's worn contacts almost my whole like, this is miraculous. Dr. Shamie and everyone at the Maloney Shamie Vision Institute were nothing short of wonderful. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is the kindest, attentive, most thoughtful doctor. She's a Goddess!"
"The procedure went so well, I was playing cards with friends the same afternoon I had cataract surgery. I had to call my dermatologist the next day as I saw things on my skin I had never seen before. Amazing what great eyesight can do. Oh, and after the surgery, my husband looked so much older!"
"I had nothing but an excellent experience at The Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. A well-trained staff and the handout information and articles were very helpful in getting me prepared for my surgery. I am very happy I made the decision to let Dr. Maloney perform my cataract surgery. I am looking forward to have the other eye done."
"I have been remiss in not letting you know how very wonderful my experience was with your office when I had my two cataract surgeries. I now have 20/20 vision in one eye (right) and 20/40 in the left eye (probably because of the asymmetric astigmatism in the left eye). The evaluation was extensive and thorough; I think my eyes were measured in ways they had never been before. The surgery center was as pleasant and efficient as surgery centers can be. The anesthesiologists were very competent—in fact, I hardly remember the surgery at all! Again, thanks ever so much. After wearing glasses for over 50 years, I still reach for them in the mornings—until I realize I can see quite well."
"I had the cataract surgery done about 2 years ago. Everything went great during the procedure and through the healing process as well. The surgery was quick; the healing process was also quick. The best part was being able to see all the little details I had been missing my whole life."
"I've had both my cataract surgeries done through your office and in both cases I was impressed and delighted by the quality of care I received at every step of the procedure. Your staff was thorough, provided answers to all my questions and gave me written materials that helped me understand the procedure. Follow-up calls and visits were prompt and thorough, and I found that every member of your staff with whom I had any interaction was both professionally competent and personally helpful. As you may recall, my first contact with your office was when my wife had her LASIK procedure several years earlier, and I was so impressed with her results and the attention given to her care that I never even considered going anywhere else when it came to having my cataracts removed. The results have been life-altering; I only rarely need reading glasses, and my life—at least as far as vision goes—has returned to the unencumbered state of my youth. As you might guess, I would recommend you—and have recommended you—enthusiastically to anyone considering cataract or LASIK procedures. As regards the post-op healing process, the only part that was even remotely onerous was the application of eye drops, because I had never had to use them before. That said, in a couple of days, I had mastered it, and it was not a big deal at all. I followed your clearly defined instructions to the letter, and have had complete success. When it comes to health care professionals, both from the perspective of care and outcome, I consider MVI to be the Rolls-Royce standard by which all others should be judged."
"My experience with Dr Maloney's office was a terrific experience and the results were better than I expected. I had both eyes done and now for the first time in 50 years, I am not wearing glasses. The follow up after my cataract surgery was excellent."
"My cataract surgery was done in 2009 over the course of 7 months simply because I could not make up my mind whether I wanted both eyes the same or one long and one short. I ended up going with the long and short decision, and I also decided to pay the extra for the higher grade lenses with the wider range. The results were far better than I expected. I no longer need glasses for anything, not even reading. My eyes now can adjust through the ranges of vision smoothly so that I see perfectly while doing projects or repairs around the house or working with my computer or cell phone. My long range vision is the best it has ever been. I have great night vision and I no longer have the flaring halo around lights at night. The operation itself was a very easy and took very little time. The amount of medication for the procedure was perfect. I felt no pain or anxiety during the entire time. The staff was very friendly and professional. I was totally satisfied with this experience. The healing was easier and quicker then when I had the LASIK procedure years ago. I had very little to no pain to speak of. I did take a while to get used to both eyes working together, but once they synchronized, I was amazed at how well I was able to see. I highly recommend paying the extra for the high grade lenses, even though they were not covered by my insurance and were out of pocket for me, they were well worth the additional cost. My vision is excellent, and the care and attention given at Maloney Vision were superior."
"Dear Dr. Maloney and Staff, My father was the inspiration for us seeking the BEST Physician who we could trust with one of greatest gifts God has given us — our eyes. Unfortunately, my father was on an HMO Health Plan and his request to see an eye specialist was delayed and caused him his eye sight in one eye. Dad's brother also lost his vision when he was in his late 70's. So you can see why we were very concerned about my eye sight and could we trust a doctor. Of course, we did much research on selecting a Doctor. Even though the expense was above the other Doctors, we felt very confident that Dr. Maloney would be able to correct my complicated vision. Dr. Maloney was the most kind and knowledgeable eye surgeon that we have met. We felt comfortable in his response to our nervous questions. The day of surgery to remove the cataract was nervous for us. However, there was no pain and an awful lot to gain. It was amazing to be able to see so crystal clear and resume all my daily activities. I wake up daily and should thank God daily for Dr. Maloney's assistance in providing me with clear vision. No more headaches after I wake up in the morning. I did have a slight clouding in the lens capsule after the cataract removal, but Dr. Maloney adjusted my vision with the laser which was painless and improved the vision. The appointment desk staff are always so pleasant and accommodating. When you arrive for appointments a patient is greeted warmly and the scheduling is outstanding. We would strongly recommend Dr. Maloney for complicated and normal cataract procedures. God bless you Dr. Maloney. Sincerely,"
"The cataract procedure I had a couple of years ago was the easiest medical procedure I have had done. The recovery time was basically zero. As soon as I came out of the surgery center, I could read the street signs which were blurry before. I had no pain or discomfort either during the procedure or afterwards. The first night I had to wear the protective plastic cover over my eye which was no big deal. Eye drops afterwards were easy to handle. I trust Dr. Maloney with my eyes since he did a lasik procedure on both of my eyes over 10 years ago which was a success. When it is time to do my second eye, I will definitely have Dr. Maloney do the procedure."
"I had a prism situation – left eye; and, short vision in my right. I was having quadruple vision of tail lights at night, and, even with glasses, I did not feel comfortable driving. Dr. Maloney gave me Mono-vision without glasses. I'm now seeing 20/15 for distance and can read the smallest print on the hand eye chart, so I do not need reading glasses. It doesn't get any better. Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute made me feel most comfortable about considering a cataract procedure and being able to perform. This was accomplished by 3 examination and procedure recommendations, two with excellent technicians and the third with Dr. Maloney, a doctor with the best resume I have ever seen. More impressive, he's the guy that has patents on 4 surgical machines that other doctors use to do the procedure. What more could you ask for? Please, please give my contact information to any prospective patient. I'm happy to help Dr. Maloney bring such joy and satisfaction to other people as he did for me."
"After having both eyes done, a whole new world appeared. I now have perfect distance vision without glasses and just use reading glasses. I had pretty much stopped reading for entertainment but it's a delight once again. As to the surgery and "recovery"—it's as if it never happened. No pain of any kind. Awake from surgery and read the signs across the room. When I arrived at home I put on reading glasses and read the box scores in the paper!!! My daughter had laser surgery years ago with Dr. Maloney and when I told her of my impending need for cataract surgery she said "Go to Dr. Maloney and make sure HE does the surgery." That was best advice ever. Dr. Maloney is the leader in the field and very comforting throughout the experience. An easier, more rewarding experience could not be imagined. Thanks Doc for giving me my eyes back!!!"
"When people ask about my cataract procedure, I tell them that my experience from the beginning to the end was exceptional. I also advise them to look no further if they were to have any vision corrective procedures. Every staff member and doctors are to be commended for their professionalism and just plain good "people skills". The Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute is clearly (in my eyes) the benchmark in the industry. I usually don't take the time to endorse any products or service but because my experience was so positive, I feel an obligation to express my thanks. P.S. - My only complaint is that my golf game has not gotten any better. As a matter of fact, I now clearly see all of my bad shots!"
