Dr. Shamie performed cataract surgery via laser with multifocal lens replacement. The left eye surgery occurred 3 weeks ago and the right eye cataract operation was yesterday. I deem all steps of this process to have been excellent, including making the appointment, the initial consultation, and each surgery. Aftercare is being performed by my optometrist, Dr. Hyman. Dr. Shamie's clinic operation is 1st rate - patient focused, customer friendly, timely and efficient. Her practice sent me an 84 page booklet on cataracts and their treatment before the 1st appointment. This was the best patient education I have seen - well worth reading. Dr. Shamie offered clear explanations and she CARES. She did not rush the initial consultation. She inspires confidence. Importantly, my vision is drastically improved. Since these are early days, I expect further improvement as I adjust to the new lens implants. I am a retired clinic director from UCLA Health and I am well aware of what is required to have a well organized practice whose 1st priority is the patient. In this regard, I cannot be more impressed by Dr. Shamie, the support staff, and the entire operation.

The procedure went very smoothly and everyone at the surgery center was extremely kind and courteous. My cataract surgery was a complete success. I experienced no pain and can see clearly and without glasses for the first time in many years. Dr. Hura was so kind.

I’d rate this place 10 stars, if offered. From the moment you enter the office you are greeted by friendly, helpful people in a bright happy setting. All the techs and docs are super, and Dr. Shamie is the nicest lady with super skills. I’m so grateful my optometrist and my GP recommended he to me for my cataract surgeries.

Dr. Shamie is exceptional! After seeing two other doctors for my eye issues, she stood out with her honesty, care, and expertise. She provided multiple cataract surgery options without any pressure and ensured both surgeries were flawless. Thanks to her, I now have perfect 20/20 vision. Highly recommend!

Dr Shamie was both extremely professional and personable making me feel very comfortable with my approaching cataract surgery. I went for the full field of vision lenses and am extremely happy with the results. I was sitting outside at a park and saw an ant on a leaf 6 feet away with a crumb that fell on the ground from our bagels! I've never had such precise vision like this in my life. Every morning I wake up seeing with fantastic clarity, no need for reading glasses ever again. The staff was so nice and helpful starting with Carlos at the front desk to Wanda running eye tests to Dr. Kristine Park who is so amazingly sweet and knowledgeable.. I'm exceptionally satisfied with the amazing results of my extraordinary vision and the spectacular service that they provided me. Way to go!:)

Everyone at Maloney-Shamie is awesome! I needed cataract surgery and I was extremely nervous about it. They all did their best to make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Dr.Hura even texted me after each surgery to see how I was doing! I can’t begin to explain the professionalism, competence, care, and compassion I experienced at Maloney-Shamie. I elected to have mono-vision - so my right (dominant) eye is for distance and my left eye is for close-up. I now have 20/15 vision and no longer need to wear glasses!! I am thrilled with my Maloney-Shamie experience and I highly recommend them if you are looking for the latest in technology as well as wonderful personal experience in vision care.

Dr. Hura is the best doctor! He was informative about the surgery and made me feel I had nothing to worry about. He is smart, friendly and makes you feel there is nothing to be concerned about. The surgery was easy and I was out of the hospital in 90 minutes. If you want to have cataracts or lasik surgery this is one of the best clinics around. Dr. Hura is the best!

I have had a cornea scraping and one cataract surgery so far from Dr. Shamie. Her office is well run with polite helpful staff. Dr. Shamie was good about checking in with me after the procedures.She is friendly, very professional and a straight talker. She is also easily accessible. My husband had a bad experience at UCLA Jules Stein: it was an assembly line and nearly impossible to reach his doctor there. When a complication arose in my eye to be scheduled for cataract surgery, she rightly postponed it until the problem is resolved. The Surgery Specialists facility she uses is very clean, efficient with nice staff. My only suggestion is that standard postoperative care be revised specifically for each patient. My case required slightly different protocol which I didn’t learn about for a week.

I am 62 years old. About a month ago I received Refractive Lens Exchange surgery (RLE) from Dr. Shamie. I was not nervous or anxious in the least especially after reading about her credentials. They are VERY IMPRESSIVE !!! After wearing glasses for 56 years my last prescription was R +6.75 and L +7.25 so I was no longer a candidate for contact lenses and haven’t been for quite some time. Now after having this pain free surgery, I NO LONGER WEAR GLASSES! I can now see crystal clear - even the tiniest print. I can’t even begin to tell you how life changing this has been for me to navigate through life and not being tied to the ugly, heavy and thick glasses I used to wear just a month ago. I am receiving excellent post op care from my optometrist of 20 years and he says I am doing phenomenal and he is very impressed with Dr. Shamie’s skill level. She is like no other. My only regret is not getting the surgery done sooner. If ANYONE is nervous or anxious about getting the surgery done, DONT BE there is nothing to worry about and everything to gain. Not to mention Dr. Shamie and her staff are very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. So if you’re thinking of getting eye surgery done from Dr. Shamie, DO IT, YOU WON’T BE SORRY

Ok - this is an in depth review where I'll go into detail about the whole experience. But overall: I'm so happy I trusted Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute with my Lasik surgery! I went from -0.5 prescription in each eye to 20/15 vision with hardly any pain or complications. I am so glad I did my research and found Dr. Shamie! I was extremely nervous going into this experience, but Dr. Shamie and her team were confident, caring, and extremely professional throughout the entire process. At the intake consultation, they took several in depth scans of my eyes with multiple machines. The process didn't feel rushed, and walking between the rooms, I was able to read on the walls dozens of reviews from celebrities, artists, airforce pilots, and more. I even walked past a woman thanking Dr. Shamie at a post-surgery check-in who said the surgery had changed her life. It felt like I was in the hands of the best of the best. The surgery day was a bit scary for me, but they provided a xanax to help calm my nerves. I should have taken the full dose as I was still so nervous sitting in the surgery room, but it did take the edge off. To be fully honest, the actual sensation of the surgery was not pleasant. It wasn't very painful, but there was a pressure and a really unpleasant sensation that I cannot describe. Dr. Shamie talked me through the whole process and was very encouraging throughout. The actual laser portion of the surgery only took something crazy like 38 seconds. It went by so fast, which I'm grateful for because it was the scariest part for me since I was basically blind with my eyes open. As soon as I sat up from the procedure, I could see clearly!! It was amazing! After the surgery, I did experience some pain and discomfort. the day of the surgery and most of the following day, I had severe halos and haze in my vision. I tried to spend as much time as possible with my eyes closed, and was given an Ambien to take so I could spend the first 4 hours after coming home sleeping and healing with my eyes closed. The following week, every time I woke up I would reach for my glasses, and would be so pleasantly surprised every time I realized I could see. I still find myself reaching to push up glasses that aren't there. The first two weeks, I had to regularly use eye drops to help with the dryness. Now I only do drops like twice a day, sometimes less. Most of the time I am unaware of my eyes, just enjoying the freedom of not having glasses. Occasionally, I will get a sudden eye pain, but only if I have been awake for too long or have been drinking/am a little dehydrated. Overall, I am so, so happy with my experience with Dr. Shamie and the whole team at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I can tell they love what they do and find joy in improving so many people's lives. I love my new eyes!!!

Absolutely amazing. So accommodating, professional, everyone is helpful. The process was so fast I couldn’t believe I could see right away. My left eye didn’t heal properly but they quickly got me back in to fix the flap and ensure I was comfortable. I appreciated the direct check up with me by the doctors and staff. I would recommend to anyone and everyone to get their lasik done here!

I worked with Dr. Hura and had lens replacement. 7 years ago i started struggling with reading small type. Over the years it got progressively worse. I started becoming dependent on readers and had to use them all of the time to read anything. Last month I had the procedure and my short, medium and long range vision is good. The best part is no more glasses! All interactions with the doctors and staff were professional and amazing. They kept me informed of every step in the process and made sure I was comfortable.

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!

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!!

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.

I was very apprehensive about having lens replacement surgery, until I met Dr. Shamie. I appreciated that she could “see” me as a person, to carefully explain the procedure, and answer all my questions. I had both surgeries within a week of each other, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. I felt cared for and cared about by everyone at M-SVI. Thank you.

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.

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.

Based on my recommendation, my husband went through cataract surgery with Dr. Shamie about a month after me. Everything went well with the surgery, however, when he texted her with a question after the surgery, she did not get back to him. A week or so later he sent her an email and she did send him an email response.

My son and I made appointments at Maloney Shamie for LASIK. To our surprise neither one of us were candidates, however, two separate procedures were presented to us. Due to having Radial Keratonmy in the past, I was offered the Refractive Lens Exchange (removing my natural lens and inserting artificial lenses) and my son had the ICL (implant contact lens). We scheduled both of our surgeries on the same day in May 2024. The procedure with Dr. Hura was very easy and fast. He made us feel very comfortable with no pain and discomfort at all. After the procedure and later in the day our vision was a little blurry with halos, that quickly went away. Dr. Hura followed up with text messages on our recovery, which was reassuring and helpful answering our questions. My procedure RLE requires 6 follow up appointments with 2 week intervals, adjusting my vision with light. Both my son and I are extremely happy with our vison and the results. We are very impressed with the doctors and office staff who are always very helpful and accommodating. I would strongly recommend a consultation for your eye sight needs with many different options.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Shame was fabulous, personable, caring, and the results of my cataract surgeries are transformative. I'd give her six stars if I could.

UPDATE - 1 year post-LASIK: It’s been 1 year and 3 weeks since I had LASIK by Dr. Hura and my vision is PERFECT. I moved to Europe shortly after the 3-month mark, and have had my eyes examined again to make sure everything looks okay, and the optometrist had nothing but great things to say. My vision remains even better than 20/20 and I’d recommend LASIK to my family & friends who are on the fence. I still occasionally use eye drops (1-2 times per week, usually right after waking up), but other than that, no issues whatsoever. Thank you (again!) to the fabulous team here. - - - - - - - - - Recently had LASIK by Dr. Hura and could not be more stoked that I did! I went to 3 different places for consultations and Dr. Hura was the only one who suggested I wear my glasses for longer (after showing me why I may not be eligible on my first visit) and then explained his reasoning. He seemed optimistic but cautious, and after 6 more weeks in glasses, showed me what had changed and let me know he was comfortable moving forward with the procedure. No other place gave me that same level of specificity. The procedure itself was quick, painless and one week later, I have 20/20 and feel great! Highly recommend this team and Dr. Hura for LASIK. Thank you all!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 had a very good experience here everyone was very professional and my cataract surgery went very well and my vision is much improved.
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
Very professional and welcoming office. I was seen promptly, the procedures were explained and the doctors are all quite personable and friendly
Thank you very much for taking care for me by Dr. Hula and other staffs. Really appreciate for kindness.
All the staff were always very accommodating and supportive! It was a warm feeling coming into the office everytime
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-Hura 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!!!
Very professional Very transparent Extremely flexible Changed my life I could not be happier
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-Hura Vision Institute is the only place to trust your vision.
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!!!👁👁
Service is great.
Good Service. I'm very happy.
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.
The whole team was so easy to work with and very informative the entire time.
Dr. Shamie is magnificent. Her touch is delicate and her work precise. I couldn't recommend her more highly
The entire office staff were very professional. Dr Hura answered all questions and professional. I am very satisfied. Thank you for my clear vision.
Great doctors. State of the art equipment and absolutely helpful staff. I had a lens replacement surgery and it turned out so perfect. Amazing!
Amazing vision change! No longer need driving glasses. Had final check last Thursday (10/6) with Dr. Matsumoto. Eye pressure now normal. Thanks.
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.
I am an optometrist in Los Angeles and I have been referring patients to Maloney-Shamie Vision institute for a while now. I have seen them take care of a lot of my patients with refractive and cataract surgery. So when I decided that I was ready to have Lasik, I knew I wanted to go to Dr. Maloney. The procedure was super fast and easy! The staff (especially Gaby) was great throughout the process and made me feel very comfortable especially because I get anxious (the sedative definitely helped with that). I was done before I knew it and was able to read the clock on the wall right after the procedure. I went from having a high prescription and wearing glasses or contacts all the time to seeing perfectly without anything on. The only question I had for myself after everything was done was “why didn’t I do this sooner?”. Thank you to Dr. Maloney, Gaby, and the entire office staff for providing such great care.
I have been in glasses or contacts since I was twelve years old. To open my eyes and see clearly near and far thanks to Dr. Maloney and my new mono-vision Lasik’d eyes is a dream come true!!! I couldn’t recommend that wonderful doctor and his caring team more!! I can see!!!
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!!!
Had my LASIK procedure with Dr. Maloney back in May of this year. Thankful and happy I had this procedure done. Highly recommend Dr. Maloney and his practice.
Experience from phone to in office was by far exceptional. Everyone was kind, friendly and really made me feel comfortable and at ease.
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.
Incredible experience! Thank you for making it so easy.
Dr. Shamie, all the doctors, and office staff are excellent! I've had nothing but positive experiences. I highly recommend!!!
Incredible! I can't believe I waited this long to do it. I have been blown away by how perfectly clear my vision has become-both near and far! Dr. Maloney was amazing and his reputation as being the best in the business is well deserved. Thank you so much for giving me something I thought I would never have- a life without glasses or contacts!
Amazing experience. LASIK went perfectly with Dr Maloney. The whole team was fantastic from start to finish.
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.
Best experience of my life, great teamwork, great recommendations by Dr Maloney, they care more about your vision than making money. Thank you to all the staff for making me feel like family.
I had LASIK consultation and surgery here. Process was extremely safe and efficient and professional. Eyes are healing and happy that I finally took the plunge!
By far the best experience I’ve ever had! Dr. Money was amazing from in office to post surgical experience. I felt taken care of by not only Dr.Maloney but by all the staff members whether I was in office or at home. Everyone was able to answer my questions and easily to get in touch with in between all my appointments. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie Institute for your procedure. ICL surgery has been completely life changing for me! I’m no longer a prisoner to my eyes!
I had a great experience with the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I was referred to them by my optometrist for a Lasik consultation. The office was very responsive and got in touch with me quickly after receiving initial info from my optometrist. I ended up not qualifying for Lasik and Dr. Maloney recommended the ICL procedure instead. They were all understanding when I needed time to think about it, and I at no point felt pressured to move forward. After about a month I decided I did want to move forward with the procedure, which required another visit to the office for more measurements. The follow-up was also easy to schedule. At that point, a scheduler got in contact with me to schedule the actual procedure. The next day post-op was scheduled at the same time as the procedure, and the same day post-op was scheduled a few days before the procedure, along with the exact time of the procedure itself. Everyone I talked to at every point always made sure to ask if I had any questions, which was helpful. If I had any questions that came up later, they were also easy to get in touch with. It was reassuring to have multiple post-ops, considering the ICL is a bit more involved than Lasik, and the office runs pretty efficiently so I was able to get in and get out pretty quickly. Overall I would recommend the Vision Institute to anyone who was considering Lasik or the ICL.
Amazing and life changing experience!
I had my PRK lasik eye surgery a week ago. The surgery went great and their team was caring and mindful of how nervous I was. After I got home from the surgery, they called me to check on my condition, and Dr. Maloney texted me so I could have his number in case of an emergency. The following day, I had a virtual meeting with one of the doctors to see how I was doing before I went to their office to get checked. Their team has been great from the very first consultation! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has to have corrective eye surgery.
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!!!
I'm just a few weeks post LASIK and I couldn't be happier with how things have gone. I never wore contacts because of eye sensitivity, and I was pretty nervous about the procedure, but everyone who I saw at the Maloney-Shamie practice was incredibly kind and I'm so glad I trusted my vision to them. I met Dr. Maloney during the initial consult, and though I technically didn't see him on the day of my surgery because of all the eye drops and equipment, his presence in the operating room was very relaxing, and the whole thing was over in what seemed like no time. I ended up having quite a few follow-ups; one with Dr. Barnes and a few with Dr. Luu - both of them were amazing. They were patient with me when I had a little trouble with the band-aid contacts, and took plenty of time to explain the recovery steps as they were happening. I cannot imagine better care than I received from the team at Maloney-Shamie Vision and I would recommend them to anyone considering LASIK.
Dr. Maloney and all of his staff are great and very professional. I was treated as a VIP pt. from the minute I walked in, to the minute I left and walked out feeling very confident in letting Dr. Maloney proceed with my Lasik surgery. I would like to acknowledge the entire staff and mainly Gabby for making me feel comfortable and treating me very professional at all times. Dr. Maloney made me feel at ease and ease and was very compassionate about what I wanted my outcome to be. I would 100% recommend Dr. Maloney and his office to anyone that would like to get Lasik surgery. You will not regret this decision, I promise that. Again, thank you all for helping me make the best decision ever.
Very competent staff and doctors, very efficient and friendly!
The staff and Dr. Shamie were very professional, kind, and caring.
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!!!!!!
Professional, organized, and kind from start to finish. Outstanding experience with Dr. Maloney and his team!
Everything ran smoothly
Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my eyes. They are so sweet here! Everyone in the office was so helpful and kind. Not only did the Lasik correct my vision, but it made it even better than 20/20! I could see perfectly the next day!!! Amazing place:)
Getting Lasik at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute was one of the best decisions of my life. I was extremely near-sighted, but after Lasik I now see better than 20/20!! Getting Lasik (which only takes 11 minutes) has enhanced every aspect of my life: I love waking up in the morning and being able to SEE, I love not having to worry about contacts anymore (putting them in, taking them out, packing them for trips, etc), and I love that I see better now than I ever did with contacts. The team at Maloney-Shamie is incredible: they make you feel SO COMFORTABLE before the procedure, and give you good um... "vitamins" before and after the procedure so you're totally relaxed during the procedure, and able to sleep soundly after the procedure. Lasik doesn't hurt: I literally went in at 4pm on a Thursday, fell asleep when I got home at 6pm, and woke up the next day able to SEE! (I didn't have to take any time off of work - which was awesome!). The team at Maloney-Shamie are kind, have great bedside manner, and make you feel like family. If you're looking to get Lasik, I recommend getting it here (plus a handful of celebrities got their Lasik here, which is pretty cool!)

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
Dr. Maloney and team were excellent. They took amazing care of me throughout the entire process and couldn’t be happier with the results!
Super happy with my experience at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute and with Dr. Maloney. He took great care of me and the Lasik procedure went very smoothly. He even texted afterward from his personal phone to check if I was doing okay. The staff and other optometrists are also super friendly and great. After my initial exam consult, the assistant that I saw earlier emailed me asking if I had any further questions about the procedure, which was very sweet. I was afraid Dr. Maloney would be booked up far in advance but they had openings the following week after my initial consultation which was great. Super easy recovery and great overall experience. Beyond happy to be able to see again!
Got LASIK here with Dr Maloney but had some interactions with Shamie as well. The doctors and staff were friendly, experienced, professional, reassuring.
The whole experience was amazing and totally worth it!
Dr. Maloney and the entire staff at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute are all world-class! My experience from the first LASIK consultation to the post-op care has been nothing but enjoyable. Dr. Maloney is extremely personable, and it's apparent he truly cares for his patients and their health. He even texted later in the day of my surgery to check in on how my recovery was doing, which was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend anyone considering visiting the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute to do so!
Super professional. Extensive exam. Options for treatment. Quick and painless at the surgery center. No complications. Outstanding results.
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.
Was very nervous going in for Lasik, but the entire team made it easy and fast. The entire process was over before I knew it. Highly recommend anyone considering Lasik to go here. Thank you Dr. Maloney!
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.
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.
Good morning staff was so gracios and professional
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.
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.
Very experienced, neat, precise and follow up with herself calling in the same evening after the surgery.
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.
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!
I had 20/15 with contacts. My surgery with Dr. Hura got me to slightly better thatn 20/15 in 24 hours! So grateful.
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.
Pure professionalism, A+ eye surgeon who was our expert of choice, hands down.
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.
Very happy with the service and especially happy with the results.
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.
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.
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!
Waiting time minimal
Dr. Hura was outstanding. I went with PRK due to my lifestyle and he worked with me to understand everything and booked a surgery within a week. Now 3 weeks after surgery, my vision is great and seeing clearly!
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!
Maloney-Shamie vision institute made sure that I was well informed going into LASIK surgery and the process was relatively quick, easy and has been life changing. I did a full day of work the next day with 20/15 vision that keeps improving, and the post op process was simple and easy to follow.
Professional and caring
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!
It's expensive but it was absolutely worth every dollar. I came in with 20/30 vision and walked away with 20/15. The procedure was quick and the recovery was super easy. They were very accommodating, really responsive, and had great "bedside" manner for lack of a better term. Highly recommended.
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.
An incredible experience from start to finish. Dr. Maloney and his entire staff have the utmost level of professionalism and kindness and I felt very taken care of during both my pre-screen and operation, which was done the same day. I've achieved better vision than I had when I was wearing contacts and it was an extremely smooth recovery process. I could not recommend more.
Great place very friendly staff. Super satisfied by the Doctor work. I was able to see right away. Best decision of my life. Definitely life changing to finally be able to see without prescription glasses. Highly recommend.
Great experience from the moment I walked in the door. All the staff and doctors were friendly and knowledgable and made me feel comfortable which is just what you want from medical professionals. Highly recommend!
Great job with Dr Shamie Now I can see better without using glasses.
My ophthalmologist advised me that I needed cataract surgery on both eyes and recommended Dr Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura 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-Hura Vision Institute.
Like a miracle. I threw away my driving glasses after the cataract surgery. Dr. Shamie is a terrific surgeon.
Unbelievable results!! This has been an incredible experience from day one This wasn't my first time trading but honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined. After much loss. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus! They made the entire process so easy and hassle-free! I’m very impressed! I will definitely be referring her to you all. Her Name is Mrs.Helenkaren, best trader from California USA Contact her directly on WhatsApp +1(514)6711429 Email on [email protected]
I had cataract’s removed from both eyes. I had absolutely no problem with either operation. I can read as I did 40 years ago. Thank you Doctor Shamie and your Institute of professionals.
Great experience. Dr. Maloney knows what he's doing and has a great manner.
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.
Best experience of my life.
After doing much research, I recently had Lasik at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I was initially going to have him correct for my nearsightedness. However, after completing thorough exams Dr. Maloney wanted me to see what mono-vision would look like using corrective lenses in my prescription first, during the exam. I am really glad he did. I had misconceptions about mono-vision. After discussing it with him further, I decided I would follow his recommendation and went with mono-vision. I am not disappointed. I don't have to wear readers and my distance vision is clear. Everyone from the front office staff to surgery staff, and Dr. Park, was so supportive and kind. Dr. Maloney was so supportive during surgery. You feel well informed and taken care of by Dr. Maloney's entire team. If you are looking for the best, hands down get your procedure done here.
Far exceeded my already high expectations! I was referred to Dr. Maloney by my wonderful optometrist. The team is exceptional — kind, detailed and efficient! From the virtual consult to the routine correspondence prior to the procedure, I was left wanting for nothing more. The procedure day was seamless. The surgical staff explained everything clearly and were very comforting. Dr. Maloney has an excellent bedside manner and provided reassurance and updates throughout the quick and easy (for me) procedure. The follow up was also exceptional — it included a text and letter from Dr. Maloney. 2 weeks out, I have 20/15 vision and minimal dryness (far better than I anticipated). Referrals already made! One-million thanks!
Amazing and life changing!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!
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-Hura 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.
Wonderful people. Professional, concerned and caring. Most importantly, the cataract surgery was easy and painless. You are treated with respect for your person and your time.
Amazing time, care and experience given by the staff at Maloney. I am thrilled with the before, during and especially aftercare of Dr Maloney and the whole team. Totally worth every penny ! Should have done it sooner!
20/15 VISION! (Better than 20/20!) My sister and I flew in from Vancouver, Canada for Lasik eye surgery with the one and only Dr. Maloney. From the moment you step into this office you feel so special! The entire process was so smooth, seamless, and all fit into a few hours! The eyes are thoroughly checked before the procedure, and everything they have is top quality, of course! The Lasik itself took maybe 10 minutes, and you don’t feel a thing! Dr. Maloney is so gentle, kind, and reassuring during the procedure. He is constantly telling you that you are doing just great. I loved that! After the surgery I could see and even read the clock in front of me WITHOUT GLASSES! The next day we had our checkup in the morning and was on a plane home in the afternoon! With 20/15 vision for the both of us! I really have no words for the staff at this office, they are truly impeccable, amazing, kind, loving people. I will never forget them, and hope to visit them next time I’m in LA. To Wanda, Brenda, Sahar, Branden and anyone else I can’t remember right now — thank you from the bottom of our hearts! And lastly, to Dr. Maloney, I knew for years that if I were to proceed with Lasik, it must be done by you; and I thought RIGHT! You are truly incredible, care so much for your patients, and want them to receive the absolute best vision they can. Like everyone else I wish I had done it sooner! Bless you Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute!
AWESOMELY EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. REALLT TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF ME!! Very HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Excellent staff, efficient process, remarkable results.
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-Hura Vision Institute for your cataract procedures. A first-class experience for me!!!
Very professional and competent
About the experience… If we don’t count the front desk lady … I would said the experience was outstanding. I am very happy with my surgery but I have to say … I thought from my first visit maybe it was me , having wrong conclusion about the lady at the front desk …I never mentioned anything to my family . But even my husband the day that he drove me for the surgery got the impression that the lady at the front desk wasn’t that nice at all. She is a very cold person to be the first impression or image from the place . But of course the experience from the surgeon and the rest o the staff not including the lady at the front desk was amazing ! Dr. Park , Carla , the lady that just left from maternity , the surgeon Maloney . They are all amazing !
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-Hura Vision Institute 100%!!
I LOVE my new eyes! (LOL) & the staff is amazing!!! Highly recommend, I had a very pleasant experience. :)
"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.
I had a wonderful experience at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and were diligent about following up to ensure the procedure went as expected. Highly recommend.
Professional, kind, and caring staff. Support staff created a comfortable environment to help my anxiety prior to surgery. Dr. Maloney was friendly and professional through the process. Texted me that evening after surgery to see how I was feeling. Overall excellent customer service and would recommend this office.
Perfect 👍🏼
The best ever! 20/20 vision after cataract surgery. Dr Shamie is the best!
Professional, expert care. Highly recommended without reservation.
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-Hura Vision Institute enough. I recommend them to anyone needing vision care and correction!
Dr. Maloney was super awesome! He and his staff are fantastic - this was probably the vest experience I've had at a doctor's office. Thank you so much!
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.
Great experience with Dr. Maloney and his team getting Lasik. Highly recommend.
Very professional in removing my cataracts. I can see again! And there were no problems and no pain.

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 !
Absolutely cannot recommend enough! I got LASIK from Dr. Maloney and the whole experience was amazing. Dr. Maloney and his supporting staff made me feel like I was in great hands from the consultation appointment to the surgery to the post-op appointments. I previously had extreme near sightedness (to the point where I couldn't read a book unless it was 6 inches from my face) and I now can see better than 20/20! LASIK and Dr. Maloney have truly changed my life and I cannot thank everyone at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute enough!
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
Excellent, top notch place from start to finish. Got referred by my optometrist. Went for a consult on Tuesday, luckily had an opening and did surgery on Thursday afternoon, woke up Friday morning with 20/15 vision already, and kept improving. The team is extremely skilled with every part of the operation. Surgery was quick and painless. Post-op prescriptions were in a bag for me on the way out. Very clear instructions about everything. Vision is super sharp now, but the improvement in night vision is absolutely insane. Absolutely worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn't go to them years ago.
Experience was amazing! From introduction to surgery, all staff was professional and informative each step of the way. Surgery was very fast, and the results this far (week 4) are amazing. I HIGHLY recommend Malony-Shamie Vision Institute!
