Most amazing experience I've had at a medical office practice, surgery center and follow up. The results are amazing, and Dr. Shamie and her staff are world-class. If you need anything for your eyes....do yourself a favor and get to Dr. Shamie!!

Dr. Shamie is absolutely phenomenal. She performed cornea transplants on both my eyes in 2020 (2 separate surgeries, 6 months apart). She has such a loving and caring nature and she's meticulous about her work. I've had several doctors examine my eyes and they've all commented about the beauty and precision of her work. And my vision improved significantly. For decades, I wore painful rigid gas permeable hard contact lenses that caused constant irritation and anxiety. My vision was very poor and I could not see without the painful lenses. After the surgery, I could see almost perfectly with no lenses or glasses at all. My quality of life improved greatly as I was no longer reliant on lenses to operate my life. Now, 5 years later, my vision is still strong and stable. I am so glad I chose Dr. Shamie and I highly endorse the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute!

Dr. Hura, the entire office reception staff and surgical team functions as a wonderful caring cohesive unit, with each member contributing their expertise to ensure excellent care. From pre-operative planning through post-operative recovery, they maintain seamless communication, excellent professional care and collaboration, providing patients with safe, attentive, and coordinated treatment every step of the way.” Loved the results, I can see things so clearly and the multi-lens were a great choice eliminating the use of glasses completely!!

Dr. Shamie is an excellent choice for cataract surgery. The pre-surgery consult was thorough. Her office is amazingly well organized, and everyone I interacted with was so pleasant. Dr. Shamie answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The experience at the surgery center was the same. I felt very well taken care of and my referring eye doc said my results are great!

It's been four months since my LASIK surgery with Dr. Hura, and I could not be more happy with both the results of the surgery, and also the experience leading up to it. Dr. Hura and his team made me comfortable and gave me reassuring advice leading up to my procedure, and the results have been fantastic. I can see again! (20/15 vision now, per my tests.) Thank you to the team for all of their help. I would recommend them to anyone else in the LA area that is looking to transform their vision and move towards a clearer life.

Professional and friendly service.

20/20 VISION for distance and 20/20 VISION for reading - this is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! I don’t even know where to begin. All I knew was that I couldn’t see. I was scared because my vision was getting worse. I knew my vision was bad, but I didn’t know how bad it was. I finally realized it was time to see an ophthalmologist, and I went to see Dr. Shamie for a consultation. I learned that not only was I extremely nearsighted, but I also had a cataract at just 55 years old. With a prescription of -7, I couldn’t even see the big “E” on the eye chart. Hard to believe, but I didn’t wear glasses or contacts. My nighttime driving had become dangerous because of the glare from oncoming headlights. Reading was embarrassing, I had to hold things inches from my face, or I would have to take a picture and then zoom in. Dr. Shamie walked me through all my options and ultimately recommended a multifocal lens so I could remain glasses free, just as I had always been. The day of surgery was surprisingly easy. Even though I was scared and nervous, the team walked me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable. The moment I left surgery, my world changed. Even with my eye dilated, I could see!!! I could read street signs on the drive home that I hadn’t been able to see in years. I was in disbelief the whole way home. Now, just one week later, I’m seeing 20/20 at distance and 20/20 up close. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen this clearly in my entire life. It’s truly life-changing. A heartfelt thank you to the incredibly talented Dr. Shamie and the entire team, specifically Wanda, Marlen, Dr. Park, and Dr. Barnes, for making this journey seamless every step of the way. The best way to describe my vision now is that it’s sharper and stronger. I now have a bionic eye just like the Six Million Dollar Man. P.s. On my way home,I received a text from Dr. Shamie with a personalized video of her walking me though my aftercare instructions. That kind of care is truly top-notch.

I was fearful at the thought of getting my cataracts done, because I had previous eye surgery many years ago. I found the office very calming and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Shamie discovered a lesion on my cornea that was missed by others and fixed the problem. It has been three weeks since surgery and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Dr. Neda Shamie MD because she is an excellent eye surgeon.

Dr. Hura is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and straightforward, which immediately put me at ease. My cataract procedure took less than 10 minutes per eye, and the results are truly amazing. Dr. Hura is very thorough, efficient, and honest and the support staff are outstanding. The whole process was seamless and worry free. I would highly recommend Dr. Hura and the entire team at The Vision Institute!

Where do I even start? I'm a U.S. Marine and have been stuck wearing contacts for about 10 years. Glasses never worked for me, and in the field I'd constantly deal with eye infections because of unhygienic conditions. It wasn't sustainable for my health or my wallet. The idea of waking up and seeing clearly without fumbling for contacts felt like a dream -- so I finally decided to pursue LASIK. When I started researching, I knew I wanted two things: the newest technology and a doctor I could trust. I looked into Wavelight Plus LASIK and learned not every practice offers it since it requires a big investment. That narrowed the field. Then came the hard part: finding the right surgeon in LA, where Instagram is full of "celebrity" eye doctors. I met with a few of those offices and hated the high-pressure, money-driven vibe. One even wanted to charge $350 just for a consult, with no refund if I wasn't a candidate. It felt wrong. A friend recommended Dr. Hura, calling him "the best in the game." From my very first call, I knew this place was different. The staff was genuinely kind, not pushy. Scheduling was simple, NO CONSULTATION FEE! At my consultation, multiple staff members greeted me, offered me snack, and actually made me feel comfortable -- a total contrast from my other experiences. I spoke with Dr. Hura directly, which other offices wouldn't even allow. He was down-to-earth, patient with all my detailed questions, and confident without being dismissive. Pricing was also more reasonable than the "big name" places I'd visited, especially given they use the newest Wavelight Plus Lasik platform. Luis, the financial manager, walked me through everything and even offered complimentary Uber rides if needed. It was five-star service all the way. Surgery day came, and Dr. Hura made it easy. He talked to me throughout the procedure, calming my nerves. At one point he asked me, "What's your favorite thing to do when you come back from deployment?" I told him my tradition was to hit In-N-Out, and he even asked what my go-to order was. Ten minutes later, surgery was over -- no pain at all. The next day at my follow-up, I was shocked. After the exam, Dr. Hura walked in holding two In-N-Out bags -- with my exact order from the day before. He told me he appreciated my service and wanted to send me off right before I went overseas. That level of thoughtfulness floored me. It's honestly the top ten kindest things someone has ever done for me, and it showed how much he truly listens and cares about his patients. And it didn't stop there. The office also surprised me with a really nice Hydro Flask gift bag, -- super useful btw. It might sound small, but after months of dealing with cold, transactional LASIK offices, this kind of care and attention to detail stands out. Everyone in that office -- from reception to the optometrists, to Luis, to Dr. Hura himself -- genuinely seems to love what they do, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. The aftercare has been just as excellent. I had his personal number in case I needed anything (which I did -- he immediately sent a new prescription when I lost one of my drops). The office is upbeat, the team is warm, and the follow-up schedule is thorough (1 week, 3 months, 6 months). Knowing I can always reach out directly if something comes up gives me real peace of mind. It's been a month now, and my vision is crystal clear -- better than I imagined. No more infections, no more contacts, no more hassle. I feel like a new man. Being able to wake up and see the world sharply every day has completely changed my life. Dr. Hura and his team run one of the most professional, genuine, and patient-centered practices I've ever experienced in medicine. From start to finish, it was world-class care mixed with a very human touch. If you're considering LASIK, do your research like I did -- but save yourself the stress and go see Dr. Hura. You'll be glad you did, and you'll probably walk away with not just great vision but also a story you'll tell for the rest of your life.

Dr. Shamie performed cataract surgery in both my eyes with Toric lens (high prescription, mono vision and astigmatism) a week apart 3 weeks ago. She came highly recommended by both my optometrists and retina specialist. Her office conducted a thorough exam during consult, and her surgery coordinating team was very helpful. Dr. Shamie met with me immediately before the procedure to provide assurance. The surgeries were quick and painless. Couple hours after both surgeries Dr. texted me, and responded promptly, from her personal !! cell to make sure I was OK. The surgery center was clean, professional. The pre and post op teams and surgery nurse were all top notch. The improvement in my vision was almost immediate. Can’t believe colors were bright white instead of vintage yellow. My vision was 20/20 a week after the second surgery. I’m still getting used to being able to see when I wake up, in the middle of night and night driving without having to wear contacts or glasses after 50+ yrs. Based on my personal experience and results, I’d highly recommend Dr. Shamie.

Dr Hura did an excellent job with the Lens Replacement Surgery I had done. I appreciated his thoroughness and extra steps to make sure the surgery was right for my eye sight and eye condition. Excellent doctor and wonderful person. I’m thrilled with the results.

Had LASIK with Dr. Shamie a week ago and couldn’t be any happier! I’ve been raving about my experience to friends and coworkers all week. The whole experience from the consultation, pre-op, surgery, and post-op has been so smooth thanks to the whole team at Maloney Shamie Hura. Luis helped coordinate rides to and from surgery and answered all my questions so quickly. All the technicians, the front desk team, and doctors I’ve encountered were so helpful, kind and friendly. I was nervous walking into the operating room on surgery day but everyone on the team made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. Dr. Shamie talked me through the whole procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole time. Her professionalism and calm demeanor made me feel like I was in good hands every step of the way. Highly recommend and so glad I went with Dr. Shamie and her team!

I can't say enough about how great my experience has been. From beginning to end, everyone involved has been professional and the level of care I have received can only be described as exceptional. Dr. Hura is not only skilled but a really nice guy. After wearing glasses for 40 years, I woke up the day after surgery with 20/20 vision. Thank you Dr. Hura.

I recently had ICL surgery at Maloney-Shamie Hura Vision, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the very first consultation, the staff made me feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. Every step of the process was explained thoroughly, and I always felt like my questions were taken seriously. On surgery day, Dr. Hura and the team were incredible—calm, professional, and reassuring. The procedure itself was quick and surprisingly smooth. Recovery was easier than I expected, and the results have been life-changing. Waking up and seeing clearly without glasses or contacts still feels unreal! Beyond the excellent medical care, what stood out to me was how genuinely kind and supportive everyone was, from the front desk to the surgical staff. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you feel safe and cared for.

She’s great . Would recommend her with no hesitation .

The office was stylish and modern, quite beautiful. Everyone there was friendly and helpful and reassuring. Special shout-out to Dr. Hura for explaining the procedure thoroughly, handling the surgery with kid gloves and being available for any questions and concerns afterward. After 55 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, now I don’t need either! Excellent experience!

Overall excellent! From my initial visit with the staff explaining everything and then meeting Dr. Shamie who explained my situation, my options and what i would experience during my process of cataract surgery. She made me feel comfortable and she was caring besides being extremely knowledgeable in her field! Post op care was excellent with the technicians and Dr. Barnes!

Dr. Shamie performed my EVO ICL procedure about 3 weeks ago, and it was without a doubt the most positive medical experience I've ever had. From the first consultation, all staff and medical professionals were welcoming, clear, knowledgeable, and so supportive. I was able to meet directly with Dr. Shamie at my initial appointment, and she spent significant time with me to talk about my options, potential considerations, and answering my questions. I had not even heard of EVO ICL before my first appointment, but felt completely comfortable with moving forward with Dr. Shamie's recommendation based on her informed and clear explanation of the procedure and its pros and cons (which were highly specific to my personal experience). The lead up to the procedure was also seamless, and again, every single professional at all parts of the process was amazing. It's clear that Dr. Shamie hires, retains and uplifts the best people in this specialty. My actual procedure went flawlessly, and I felt totally confident at all times. My recovery was extremely simple, and I was already seeing at 20/20 and 20/15 on the day after my procedure. I had excellent post-procedure care. I first needed glasses in Kindergarten and began using contacts in middle school. All my life, my poor vision has been, at best, a daily chore to manage, and at worst, a significant impediment. This procedure has been truly life changing, and I can say for sure that my experience with Dr. Shamie is a major reason why this has been so positive for me. I would refer her to anyone looking to explore their vision correction options and can't speak highly enough of her.

I had PRK done in both eyes with Dr Hura and I cannot express how wonderful the experience was. He and the team of nurses and technicians were extremely professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Every question was answered thoroughly and they made the process seamless. At all points I felt confident in their ability and reassured that my vision would turn out alright. I now have 20/15 vision and it is INCREDIBLE!

From the moment I walked into Maloney Shamie Hura Vision Institute, I felt incredibly welcomed. Not just as a patient, but like part of a family. The kindness and warmth from the entire team made the whole experience so much better than I ever expected. Dr. Shamie is truly the best. She made me feel completely comfortable before, throughout, and after the procedure. Her calm and caring approach really put me at ease. Dr. Wu was also amazing. Her professionalism and warmth were so appreciated, and I felt in the best hands the entire time. A huge thank you to Sandy, Wanda, and Luis. They were absolutely incredible and helped me every step of the way. Their support and friendliness made the process smooth and even enjoyable. If you’re thinking about vision correction, this is the place to go. The care, the people, the results, everything was beyond five stars. Absolutely recommend to anyone. 20 out of 10 experience.

Am thankful and extremely happy for the great results on my right eye lens replacement with Dr Hura, I highly recommend them.

Loved my experience with the team and couldn't be happier with my Lasik results - life changing! Dr Hura communicated every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable during the (fast!) procedure. I was impressed by the care he took with me every step of the way and can't recommend him enough. Thank you Dr. Hura!

Dr Shamie is excellent, he explains everything upfront and is happy to answer any questions. He is very good at what he does. Everyone who works there is top notch!

Dr Hura excellent knowledge in this field....very personable. Office staff very friendly and efficient. Hihj;y recommend them.

I don't know if I am capable of expressing the wonderful life changing experience I had with Dr. Shamie and the entire staff at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Institute, and the Specialty Surgical Center where my cataract surgery was performed. From the time I first arrived upon the referral of the Manhattan Beach Vision Center, thru the surgeries, and post op visits (at Manhattan Beach Vision...), my wife and I were absolutely astounded at the level of talent, professionalism, efficiency and service we received. The published information I received before my visit was extremely helpful and allowed us to prepare the questions we had. Their entire operation and staff should be the model for all businesses, not just a medical office. Upon my arrival, I was fully apprised of my diagnosis (cataracts, and the degree thereof), my options, my and their expectations, possible risks, my pre-op needs and my post-op needs. I was contacted REGULARLY with text reminders of what I needed to do and when. After this visit, my call-in questions were answered immediately or within 1 hour if some research was needed. Amazing. I felt comfortable, confident and assured, that I was getting the best treatment available. I apologize for not mentioning the many staff members by name as it would not be fair to leave one out inadvertently. (Tanya was my mine contact and lifeline in but everyone was absolutely attentive) They were all wonderful and caring. I even had a post op text from Dr. Shamie from her personal line telling me how things went and what to expect!!! The bottom line is that my astigmatism was corrected, the dull film of the cataracts is gone allowing me to enjoy the vibrance of daily colors I had not seen in years, and my uncorrected vison is better than it was with the contact lenses I was wearing. My only problem is that after wearing glasses or contacts since I was 3, after 70 years, I still feel the need to take my contacts out before I go to sleep!! :) I absolutely recommend them without reservation and cannot thank them enough for this new and unprecedented vision I now enjoy.

Loved Dr. Shamie and all of the staff here! Everyone made sure I was comfortable and I’m very happy with my lasik surgery results. Would recommend!

All the exams and care from surgery to preliminary visits were handled by wonderful mostly women staff. They all seemed expert and cared about your comfort and were transparent. Dr. Was very honest and forthright with all the info and opinions about which procedure was best choice.

I cannot express enough how wonderful and talented Dr. Shamie is. Who would have thought that getting a cataract would be a life changing event in a good way. My vision is now unbelievable - it's like I am in my 20's again. The experience was incredibly easy and the book they provided was invaluable. I went into the surgery unafraid because i was informed. I recommend people read the book in their waiting room. I was working only a few hours after surgery (probably not recommended). Get the multifocal! I can read and see distance. It is THE BEST.

Excellent experience

Great surgery experience. Fast recovery. Would recommend Dr Hura

Absolutely Life-Changing Experience - Dr. Neda Shamie Is amazing! After wearing glasses for over 40 years and struggling with rapidly worsening vision due to cataracts over the last five years, I found Dr. Neda Shamie--and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. On Dr. Shamie's expert recommendation, I chose the PanOptix trifocal lens. I just completed cataract surgery in both eyes (one week apart). The entire experience, from consultation through recovery, was flawless. I had never had surgery before. Thanks to Dr. Shamie and her incredible team, my concerns vanished quickly. The staff at the surgical center was warm, professional, and efficient--it was surprisingly easy and, believe it or not, even enjoyable. The results have been nothing short of miraculous. Less than a day after my second surgery, my vision tested at 20/15--a dramatic improvement from my previous best-corrected vision of less than 20/40. I don't believe I previously would have passed a DMV vision test. I now see the world with a clarity and crispness that I can only describe as 4K HD. I haven't seen this clearly in decades, and I no longer need glasses at all--for distance, intermediate, or reading. At my follow-up appointment, my regular eye doctor described Dr. Shamie's work as "masterful," saying she precisely nailed the lens placement in both eyes. I couldn't agree more. Initially, I leaned toward a more conservative option, but I'm incredibly glad I trusted Dr. Shamie's guidance. The trifocal lens was the perfect choice for me, and I'm grateful for her deep expertise and confidence in recommending it. Dr. Shamie is not only a brilliant surgeon but also a warm and reassuring presence throughout the entire process. I now enthusiastically recommend her to anyone considering cataract surgery or in need of world-class ophthalmologic care. She changed my life--and I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you Dr. Shamie!

Great service and coordination among different areas.

Having ICL surgery has been the most liberating experience in my life. Dr.Hura is an excellent surgeon. I had my very very high myopia corrected to 20/15 vision. I went into the consultation for Lasik or PRK but Dr.Hura explained that the best way forward (longevity of improved vision, minimal risks given the topology & thickness of my eyes) was ICL. He gave me a very detailed explanation of all of the procedures and why ICL was the best choice based on my high myopia & the condition of my eyes. I didn't know about ICL before the consultation. The surgeons at the Mahony clinic wrote a great book about various vision correction procedures. I left the consultation with a copy & I felt very well informed about my options. He even answered some questions I had after the consultation & before the procedure. On the day of the surgery, Dr.Hura explained the process ahead of me & what exactly he was going to do. The surgical experience was surreal. His prep/ operating room/ post bedside manner was very kind & appreciated. I could see during the surgery as he set the implants. It was only the dilated eyes hampering my focus for the first 48 hours. I could return to remote work after the dilation wore off and I could resume normal/active activities a week post op. My surfings never been better with the extra confidence & clarity in the water. There was no extra mental adjustment for driving/catching waves. The staff at the MSH Institute are also top notch & helped me navigate the needful documentation, scheduling & communication related to the procedure prep, procedure & after care/check ups. They're aces. Can't recommend ICL, this place & Dr.Hura enough.

I’m two days post-op from first cataract surgery performed by Dr. Shamie, and the results and whole experience have been amazing. Dr. Shamie and her team provided not just medical expertise, but also the much needed reassurance and nurturing that I needed. The procedure and after-care were both flawless, and I’m gearing up for the same procedure on eye two. My trust in Dr. Shamie is so well deserved. Thanks so much! Julie in Pasadena, Ca.

I had cataract surgery 3 weeks ago by doctor Hura. It was one of the best things I did for myself. Very Clear distance vision. As I wore contact lenses for many years. I am very grateful to doctor Hura and his team. Very knowledgeable and friendly team. I am so happy. Jean Connelly

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the entire team at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Center for the outstanding care they provided to my son, Zack. He recently underwent the latest laser treatment, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Dr. Hura, who performed the procedure, was amazing thorough, compassionate, and attentive. His follow-ups showed genuine care, making sure my son was comfortable and happy at every step. We also had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Shamie during follow-up visits, and she was equally wonderful warm, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. The entire staff was welcoming and made us feel at home, which meant so much when approaching what seemed like a scary procedure. Thanks to their expertise and kindness, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and positive journey. Most importantly, they gave my son the gift of seeing the world in a clear way—literally! The results have been life-changing for him, and he is absolutely delighted. Thank you for changing his world for the better. Highly recommend! Sid obied

Absolutely outstanding cataract care from start to finish at Mahoney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute! Every single staff member I met—the front team, the technicians, and the doctors—was knowledgeable, 100% attentive, and genuinely kind. Every interaction felt like it was truly all about me. Dr. Neda Shamie (my surgeon) and Dr. Kristine Park (post-op/adjustments) were exceptional. The initial consult was thorough. I chose the Light Adjustable Lens procedure and the results are pretty life-changing for me. (No more white-knuckle driving. Who knew?!) I was fully prepped for every step, never kept waiting, and always felt I was in expert hands. I began totally freaked out and ended wishing I’d done it sooner. Five stars - no ‘…except…’. Bonus stars for the surgical center. It was pristine, well-staffed, had a great support team, and was conveniently close to home.

Dr. Shamie and the excellent team behind her may not be magicians but it sure seems like it. One day your eyesight is off and the next day ( we'll maybe next couple of weeks) it's brilliant! Had the best Optometrist, Dr. Woo, who ushered through the adjustments with skill and great care. Can't give them higher marks than this.

This office is AMAZING - everyone and everything there is top notch! My friend had Lasik surgery there several years ago and since he is a doctor, I trusted his recommendation for myself. From the zoom consultation... pre-op exams...day of surgery and follow-up...everyone was incredibly professional and friendly and efficient. I meet with Dr. Shamie twice and had my surgery with Dr. Hura - I would 100% trust / recommend either of them to anyone. I was nervous but I felt very confident I was in skilled hands. My distance vision is perfect - I don't have to wear contacts ever again. My night driving vision is great - which was not with my contacts. As I have heard others say - I just wish I had done it sooner! Lasik so definitely worth it and this is the place!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, smooth and easy experience

Thank you so very much Maloney-Shamie-Hara Vision Institute🙏 Especially *Arjan Hura, MD you are Amazing🙏😇 After ICL surgery I started the new life🤩

Amazing team. Expertise with kindness. Medical science. High tech. Prompt, responsive, conscientious. Dedicated. Patient. Every good thing!

I feel truly blessed that I was able to work with Dr Shamie and Dr. Barnes and the entire staff The entire journey from both surgery and Lasik eye treatment turned out to be an exciting and wonderful experience. You’re all true heroes thank you so much for taking such good care of my eyes. PS you’re all my new best friends. Thank you very much.

Best decision ever

The results of my cataract surgery with multifocal lens, with Dr Shamie, have far exceeded my expectations. I am seeing better than 20/20 and I wake up every day to the clearest Vision I’ve ever known!

Dr Shamie is an artist. All I can say is “wow”. Everyone from the front office to Dr Park to the staff at the surgery center couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. With such an important decision to have ANY eye procedure I felt confident right from the start. Vision is amazing. After the UV adjustable cataract procedure I’m seeing between than I ever have. No complications at all (thank goodness) and couldn’t be happier.

My experience with getting the LAL lenses was excellent and I am very pleased with my results. I no longer need glasses for near or distant vision. It was well worth the time going in for adjustments to customize my vision. Everyone was very professional and helpful!

Results exceeded my expectations. Multi focal lenses enable me to read at 20/12 and see intermediate and distant vision at 20/20 with both eyes. Entire experience flawless with highly skilled and compassionate Dr Neda Shamie and office staff.

The Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute runs a well-oiled machine. I was referred here for my keratoconus and from the second of my virtual consult to the last follow up post my second crosslinking surgery, the entire team has been nothing but professional, caring, and responsive. The front desk team always greeted me with a smile (I felt like I lived in the office for a bit, ha), Holly was amazing in preparing me with all the documents and made sure I understood all the financials, and Emily was exceptional-- she was so patient with all my questions, and was really comforting during both my surgeries. While I didn't see Dr. Shamie much, she had excellent bedside manners. A very special thank you to Dr. Barnes, who always took as much time as I needed at EVERY appointment-- I never felt rushed and felt like I could always ask my questions without being on a time limit. I think that's incredibly rare to find these days, and I am so appreciative on the level of service received from her. It's bittersweet that I won't be back as all my follow ups are now completed, but I am beyond appreciative for the personalized care I received here. I highly recommend their office.

Great experience with cataract surgery from start to finish with Dr. Hura and staff. I am thrilled the result and highly recommend this practice for eye care.

It was so seamless. Everyone around was careful and put you at ease. I would recommend them to everyone. Now I am seeing things so well its crazy. Thank Dr Shamie

Got lasik and couldnt be happier. Dr. Hura and his team got me to 20/15 vision and every single person I interacted with made the entire process extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this institution! I wish I had more stars to give.

I’m incredibly thankful for the amazing staff and doctors at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Shamie on June 2nd and was thrilled to find out that I qualified for EVO ICL. This was the best news I could’ve hoped for, especially knowing there was finally a solution for someone with -15+ vision like mine. From that moment on, the entire team was incredibly thorough and supportive. They ensured I was fully cleared by a retina specialist before moving forward with the procedure. Everything went smoothly, and I truly felt I was in the best hands. On the day of surgery, I was extremely nervous and worried about the pain but to my surprise, the procedure was painless. Even better, I could see immediately at my follow-up appointment. I was told I might achieve 20/30 vision at best, but to my amazement, I’m already seeing 20/25, and I’m only one week post-surgery. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Shamie for doing such an incredible job. The quality of my life has improved tremendously. No more thick glasses, no more contacts AND I see better than ever, and my eyes feel the best they’ve ever felt. In just one month, my life has completely changed for the better. Thank you again to the wonderful staff for making the process so smooth and for helping everything happen so quickly.

Robert, Erica, Blanca, Harris and, of course, Vincenza are so awesome for my initial consult. I’m looking forward to moving on with Dr Shamie and am hoping for the best

Very pleasant experience with Dr. Hura. He showed fellow compassion and he genuinely cared about me. He always made sure I was comfortable and explained everything patiently. The staff was also very caring and attentive. Would recommend to anyone 100%.

Maloney-Shamie-Hura was recommended by my optometrist for vision correction. He said he trusted them because they turn people away if they don't think you'll get good results - which is exactly what everyone should be looking for when considering a surgery like this! I went for a consult with Dr. Maloney in January of this year, and with my prescription being as high as it is, I was recommended EVO ICL surgery with Dr. Hura versus one of the laser solutions. I didn't know anything about the EVO ICL option before it was recommended, but went home, did some research, and Dr. Hura took the time to have an additional consult with me to answer all my questions. Going into the surgery in April, I felt well informed and I wasn't at all nervous. The surgery was quick, easy, and painless, and my vision was 20/20 in one eye, and 20/15 in the other 3 hours after surgery. Surgery was on a Friday and I was back at work on Monday with no issues. By my 1 week check-in I was 20/13 in both eyes. A few weeks after surgery I had some minor concern with one eye, and the office was quick to respond to my query about it, had me come in immediately, and did a full and thorough evaluation to make sure everything was ok. Dr. Hura and team are highly skilled, caring, and responsive, and I'm very happy with the results. Would recommend to anyone considering vision correction!

I have always had terrible vision and truly could not see a thing without contacts or glasses. Dr Hura was so patient, thorough and professional. He carefully answered each of my questions until I was confident with my choice to have ICL surgery. My vision is better then perfect now an it has been absolutely life changing for me! I couldn’t possibly be more grateful to Dr Hura and his team. Thank you Dr Hura. I could not recommend him highly enough!

Dr. Hura did such an amazing job and was so great to work with. He answered all of my questions, was super supportive, and I’ve been loving the results of my LASIK! I’d call this experience I quite luxury but I haven’t shut up about it!

Dr Shamie is excellent and the entire staff is very supportive and excellent. This is a first class establishment

My experience was amazing, I would recommend Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Center and Dr Hura to anyone wanting corrective surgery. I had ICL surgery and it’s been completely life changing.

wow. these guys are amazing. so professional from start to finish. i would definitely recommend them to anyone considering eye surgery. they are the best!!!!!

After I met with Dr Shamie for consultation, everything went smoothly with procedure and post-op. I am so thankful that Dr Shamie made my vision 20/20 after cataract was removed. The Surgery Center staff were also efficient and friendly which eased my nerves. I would highly recommend Dr Shamie. Thank you for my great eye sight.

I recently had cataract removal and multi focal lenses implanted in both my eyes. I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care I received; from my initial consultation to the surgical procedure. I was always listened to and my concerns were answered with respect and kindness. If you are considering this procedure, this is the group you want to entrust your vision to. Mrs J

I had cataract surgery done by Dr Shamie. My usual ophthalmology practice did not explain their surgical procedures so I felt uncomfortable scheduling with them. In contrast, Dr Shamie’s office provides a booklet and access to multiple videos explaining everything, including lens choices. They run a very efficient practice and obviously value patient time, so I never had to wait for any appointment. The surgical center is also well-run, with very nice staff. I highly recommend this practice! AND - my vision is great!

I’ve had poor vision always but can’t tolerate glasses. I tried contacts to no avail. At my yearly eye checkup my optometrist (Dr Matthew Matsuzaki the best) told me I had cataracts and suggested Dr Maloney and associates. I did a consultation with Dr Hura in Pasadena and 1 month later I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. They do the procedure 1 eye at a time two weeks apart. It Ionly takes about 90 minutes from the time you arrive until the time you leave. No actual pain and recovery to better vision is anlmost overnight. The only downside is that the surgery center is in Beverley Hills but it’s totally worth it. The entire staff was professional , very friendly and answered all my questions. Thank you Dr Hura et.al. You have given me a new lease on life. ✝️☮️

Dr. Shamie was an incredible cataract surgeon and so personable too! Her office, the surgery center and all Drs and staff involved were top notch. This was the easiest surgery with the best results possible and no pain! I never thought I could have 20/15 vision after 4 eye surgeries in my right eye! Very highly recommended. Thanks so much for allowing me the best vision ever and being able to give up glasses!!

I had a great experience with Dr. Hura. I got PRK surgery, as I was not a candidate for LASIK. He was very supportive and kind throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions and made me feel very safe. My results have been incredible. 10/10, would recommend Dr. Hura and the procedure to anyone interested. I am so grateful for the smooth experience I had and amazing results- I can now wake up and see perfectly!

Thorough education, professional, very friendly. I had a great experience and love my new eyes!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my LASIK experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with a level of organization, professionalism, and warmth that instantly put me at ease. Every member of the team, carried themselves with grace and genuine care. It felt more like being welcomed into a serene retreat than a medical office. The entire process was impeccably timely; there was never a moment of uncertainty or waiting. I was guided through each step with calm, reassuring voices and clear explanations. What could have been a nerve-wracking experience turned into one of the smoothest, most comforting medical appointments I’ve ever had. Before I knew it, the procedure was over, and I was already marveling at how seamless the entire day had felt. It’s rare to encounter service so thoughtful, efficient, and kind (particularly in a clinical setting)and it deserves to be recognized. I am endlessly grateful for the extraordinary care I received and wholeheartedly recommend the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute to anyone considering LASIK. It’s not just about seeing clearly, it’s about feeling seen, cared for, and completely at peace throughout the process. Thank you Dr.Maloney & Team!

Extremely professional - but friendly and welcoming- Office is tidy and parking available - i would recommend to friends and family- Very pleased with results.

Excellent ! I found the staff professional, respectful, thorough, caring and skilled. I still can’t believe my vision is so good after the cataract surgery ( after 60 years in glasses/ contacts ). It’s life changing! I have already recommended a dear friend who is scheduling her’s soon.

10/10 would recommend. Dr Hura was awesome.

Very impressed with the treatment that I received. My cataract and implant of lense went very smoothly. Recovery was much easier than I expected. Vision is incredible. It went so smoothly that I will probably have my other eye done sooner rather than later.

Dr. Hura is absolutely the best! I had RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) surgery and now enjoy perfect vision. Dr. Hura and his team were caring, professional, and attentive every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Hura — many thanks to you and your amazing staff!

Dr. Hura is a first class eye surgeon and he genuinely cares about providing the best possible outcome for his patients. He’s also kind and reachable at any time during the laser adjustment period. My lens replacement surgery and laser adjustments far exceeded my expectations. I now have perfect vision and no longer have to wear glasses! I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Hura and his whole team at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I have already recommended two friends who were also delighted with their results and will keep recommending him to others. Thank you Dr. Hura!!

I wish I had done the ICL procedures years before I did! Dr Hura was patient to answer all questions in the consultation and pre-op. The procedure was quick and I found it to be painless. In follow up, he reached out numerous times for a welfare check. High regards for Maloney-Shamie-Hura Institute and the ICL procedure.

Dr. Hura and his staff were amazing. The experience was top notch and I would recommend to anyone who wants to get corrective surgery. They were professional and calm, which helped me relax. My optometrist is blown away with the results as well!

Very happy with the results of my PRK surgery - Dr. Hura was professional and efficient, my nurse was compassionate and helpful, the staff were all wonderful and accomodating. I should have done this years ago.

Couldn't have been treated better by MD...in addition to a stellar staff. Amazing recovery. No pain; no difficulty at all. the only thing I would consider changing would have my vision made for close up. Having to use "readers" so much of the time is a big pain.

Changed my life forever! Thoroughly consulted on the right operation for my needs, smooth and safe operation, and diligent follow-ups. Would recommend for anyone looking to ditch contacts and glasses!

I was excited to get lasik surgery and I was advised to get a second consultation with Dr. Hura, and I am beyond thankful I did! Not only was the consultation very thorough they performed all the testing needed using their advance technology. Dr. Hura, and his excellent expertise, was able to catch a major issue that would affect my eyes is the future that would not make me a candidate for lasik however, I would be a candidate for PRK. The instant trust I felt!!!! I proceeded with my PRK surgery at the Maloney-Shamie- Hura vision Institute!! From start to finish the team was very welcoming, caring, and went over what to expect along the after care, as often as I asked ( I was nervous to forget). I also knew I was in excellent hands of Dr. Hura. The Surgery was fast and painless. I am still into my recovery phase and thankful Dr. Hura made himself available to answer any after care questions I would have. I would strongly recommend Dr. Hura to anyone looking to have corrected eye surgery. I also know Dr. Shamie and Dr. Maloney are amazing to work with as well!! Thank you so much Dr. Hura and Team!!! -Branndi C

Amazing service. Really took the time to answer any questions and make you feel comfortable about LASIK. Follow up was also great

From my first appointment to my follow-ups after surgery I felt totally at ease and confident with this team. I am blind in one eye so it was extremely important for me to have my cataract surgery done by the best possible physician. And it was. Dr. Shamie is, indeed.

I could not have hoped for a better outcome so far! If you need cataract surgery I recommend Dr. Shamie without any reservations whatsoever. Within an hour or so after the surgeries I could see perfectly without glasses!
