Amazing service, people, and institute. I really enjoyed my time there! Surgery went smoothly and well. Love it!!

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!

Very professional experience. I highly recommend. You will be pleased with your results.

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.

Couldn’t have been nicer, more professional, or more excellent at their medical practice. Dr Hura performed an ICL on both of my eyes and it’s one of the best decisions I ever made; absolutely life-altering in the most beneficial and rewarding way.

Every call I made was professional answered. I was treated respectfully when I visited. The intake/front desk staff was always kind. All doctors and technicians show empathy and are competent. I am pleased with the treatment every time I’ve visited.

Efficient, warm, available, great surgeons!

The whole process is so quick and easy, but extremely effective and frankly life-changing! I went from having to rely on glasses for the past 15 years to be able to see 20/15 since! Dr. Hura, the nurses, and all the staff members have been so friendly and supportive, much gratitude and appreciation to them all!

Everything was fine very professionally. Very good experience.

Administrative staff were pleasant and very helpful. Pre-op staff kind and thoughtful which calmed my nervousness. Surgery was perfect, completely painless and no pain days after surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Shamie.

Everyone who works there is extremely kind and helpful.

Everything went smoothly - no problems

I felt well cared for and in skilled hands throughout the procedure. Everyone was professional yet friendly.

The procedure went very well and improved the reading acuity in the eye. The staff were very attentive and organized.

Dr. Shamie was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I was extremely nervous and she really calmed me down and reassured me the morning of my surgery. The procedure was life changing for me. I’ve never seen better! The nurses and staff at the surgery center were also amazing and very patient. From my first visit to my post op care, I would rate a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5.

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.

The personal care, professionalism, and the superb results are a testament to the excellence of the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I have referred friends to Dr. Neda Shamie who are scheduled for surgery at this institute.

Best service by far

Excellent service great results excellent staff

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.

Dr Shamie seems top notch as a doctor and has a wonderful personality/bedside manner. Her staff was superb, as well

My experience was great, except when they quoted the price they did not make it clear that it was for just ONE eye. 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.

I was disappointed by lack of interest in long term follow-up. the

The LAL implant procedure was a phenomenal success, Dr. Hura and team are superb.Wish I had done my right eye with Dr. Hura at MM. Nearly 20/20 and can read fine print with no glasses!

Professional, patient & satisfying. If you need anything regarding your eyes, this is the place to be! From the moment you check in at reception to when you leave, you feel comfortable.

Extremely well-planned patient experience, friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely office. Oh, and excellent results!

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.

I had ICL surgery with Dr. Shamie and it has been one of the best experiences and quality of care I have received. From initial consultation to post-op visits, Dr. Shamie and all staff have been attentive, kind, and just phenomenal. I am a very anxious person, but the level of care and attention I received from Dr. Shamie and staff assuaged my fears, answered all questions, and my procedure went smoothly and effectively. I am absolutely enjoying vision and life without glasses or contacts and could not be more grateful to Dr. Shamie and all at Maloney-Shamie Institute!

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.

Dr. Shamie and the Vision Institute staff are professional, organized and provide expert care through entire cataract and laser surgical process. In developing my plan, I had the upmost confidence in Dr. Shamie's recommendation. The pre surgery information was excellent and post procedure followup has been good. I have already recommended Vision Institute to a few of my colleagues.

A great experience from beginning to end. Everything was explained thoroughly, and there was no pressure or effort to up-sale procedures or products. Dr. Shamie and her team were great! Having your eyes operated on is always freightening and risky, but the team mitigated those risks and put me at ease. My eye is recovering great with perfectly restored vision.

Excellent facility. I had my PRK done earlier this year and have nothing but positive things to say about the facility and the staff. I’ve already recommended them to others.

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.

My cataract surgery experience was the best it could be.

Excellent from the first appointment through the surgeries and follow-up. Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough

Simply The Best!

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.

It was excellent

I can see much better than before

The very best care!!!! Answered all my questions completely. My surgery could not have gone more smoothly.
