Nearly 6 years ago Dr. Shamie operated on both of my eyes for cataracts. In addition to removing the cataracts she placed lenses in both eyes. I am pleased to let you know that my most recent examination by Dr. Shamie's office indicated that I still have 20/20 vision and am reading perfectly without the assistance of any reading glasses. As someone who has worn glasses for nearly 60 years, the extraordinary professionalism of Dr. Shamie and each of her coworkers combined with outstanding results is evidence of one of the best decisions I have ever made.

amazing doctor. more amazing results. highly recommend! i can see 15/20 out of one eye now! thank you Dr Hura

Seeing is believing! What a difference clearer vision is, how I wish I had done this much sooner. I waited close to a year to finally make up my mind to have this procedure. Research upon research and a deteriorating eyesight with worsening cataract formation was the final blow. But I’m glad the long research landed on the most beautiful experience under the hands of Dr Neda Shamie who I cannot thank enough for this renewed vision. Just two days after the first eye surgery the clarity is unbelievable, I can appreciate everything better! The flowers around are more vibrant, the shows on TV gets more exciting to watch, even the food seems to be tastier and more delicious! A state of the art experience under the best doctor and staff to guide you from educating you about the procedures all the way to post surgery and care spells professionalism! I cannot wait for the next eye to be corrected, I am excited!!

I had EVO ICL procedure with Dr. Hura and the process was very seamless. I am very happy with the results and Dr. Hura and the Vision Institute’s Care in helping me achieve a better life and vision without the need of glasses or contact lenses.

I had refractive lens exchange (RLE) in both eyes with Dr. Shamie at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute, and the experience exceeded all of my expectations. Dr. Shamie is not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring and detail-oriented. She made me feel comfortable and confident from day one, taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The staff and surgical team were just as impressive—professional, organized, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. The procedure itself was quick and smooth, and I felt well taken care of every step of the way. My vision improvement has been amazing, and it’s honestly life-changing to no longer depend on glasses or contacts. I’m so thankful for the care I received and the results I’ve achieved. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie and the entire team to anyone considering vision correction—they are exceptional.

The most amazing place for your eyes! I'm so happy that I came here and decided to choose them for my Cataract and Lens Implantation Surgery. At the age of 46 years old, I unfortunately got hit with congenital cataracts in my left eye. I was suppose to go to Kaiser and just do it with my insurance. But just like most places there was no personal comfort and care like a place like the Vision Institute. After much research and second opinion after 3rd or more I made a visit to this place months ago. Right away I was seen, cared for like no other. The first lady I dealt with asked me so many valuable questions, and assured my presence there was important as it should be. I felt safe and comfortable right away. I met Dr. Hura for the first time that day and I was relieved to know he also was extremely helpful and amazing to answer my questions and share the right information to make me feel at home. The 2nd visit was to dilatate, do measurements, and get me ready for a possible surgery. That day was even better, being cared for and treated like a human being would want felt great. My worries of eye vision lost or any other things was going down. The Surgery Day at Specialty Surgical Center was even better, the Nurses, the Anesthesia specialist, the O.R. Nurse, Surgical tech, and the Recovery Nurse were all patient with me, and made me feel at home again. Made me feel safe and communicated with me always. Surgery was completed and I did not feel any pain or discomfort. Just a little anxiety on my end. Went home rested, for the first 2 days I stayed home and just relaxed and could tell my vision get better every day. Eye drops, and just rest made it hard to do as an active person I am. But day 3 I went back to work with ease and now after about a week and a half. My vision is on the last 3rd base with a homerun in the horizon! My vision is much more clearer then ever, day by day it's only gotten better! I am so extremely happy and after being overwhelmed with what could happen or what can I can't do. It's safe to say that I'm glad I made the right decision and even if I had to pay out of pocket. The price is worth it! You can't put a price on the Best Quality, and most importantly our own health! OUR EYES! I'm looking forward to the next 2 and half weeks and complete my 30 days after surgery to be ready to tackle life again. I surely will decide to do the right eye next in the coming months. SUPER THANK YOU TO DR. HURA! The Staff of the Vision Institute for always answering my calls with sincerity and care. Thank you to the awesome people at the Specialty Surgical Center for caring and being comforting before, during and after my surgery! You are all God Send and I'm forever grateful for this experience! Much Love and Take Care Always! -Rommel / Small Paws Cremations

I recently had my EVO ICL surgery with Dr. Shamie, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From my first consultation to surgery day and follow-ups, Dr. Shamie and the entire team at the institute and surgical center were exceptional. They were patient, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease every step of the way. Everyone I encountered was incredibly kind and professional. Dr. Shamie took the time to explain everything so clearly and patiently, answering every question I had. I felt completely at ease leading up to the surgery, during pre-op, and post-op, all because of the level of care and reassurance from Dr. Shamie and the team. From a very young age, I relied on glasses due to a high prescription, later switching to contacts. The constant back and forth, the cost, the migraines, and the dry eyes became overwhelming. I reached a point where I simply couldn’t continue that way. ICL truly changed my life in a way that’s hard to put into words. Immediately after surgery, I could already see better than I ever could without my glasses—and by day two, I had 20/20 vision. I always knew my own face with glasses on, and contacts always felt like an extra layer. For the first time in my life, I can see myself for what I am, bare, with no glasses or contacts, just me. This has been so refreshing. Dr. Shamie gave me a new sense of clarity that I will forever be grateful for. Thank you a million times! I feel incredibly thankful for the care I received and HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shamie. This has truly been a life-changing experience.

Wonderful experience Everyone at the Vision Institute was very polite and informative.

I cannot recommend Dr. Shamie and her team highly enough for cataract correction and lens replacement surgery. As a younger patient (45 years old), I admittedly was nervous but my experience was seamless, defined by thoughtful and professional care at every stage - from the initial preparation and surgical planning through the attentive aftercare. I now have the ability to see clearly across all distances with vision now better than 20/20; a level of clarity I haven’t experienced in decades. I am forever grateful for the skill and compassion Dr. Shamie brought to my case. If you are considering this procedure or find yourself in a similar situation, you are undoubtedly in the best possible hands.

Very professional organization across every aspect of evaluation and surgery.

My name is Theresa. I had my first cataract surgery on March 17 and my second cataract surgery on March 19. I had the most amazing surgeon Dr. Neda Shamie. She was very caring and professional. Everyone at the surgical center also were very kind and concerned. The surgery went very well and after my first visit back at Dr. Shamie`s office, my eye site for reading was 20/20. . I can’t say enough for my experience with Dr. Shamie and all who were involved. I am 92 years old and I feel like I have been reborn with new eyes

Loved the visits and warm visits and feeling comfortable to ask questions. Constant communication via text and phone calls were needed reminders when days are filled with so much to do. When going to do the procedure, the surgery location was great and all personnel were also reassuring. Meeting Dr. Hura for both surgergies was also comforting. Now after all the waiting......so amazed to know that I can see colors and appreciate all there is to see. Thank you very much!

Dr. Shamie and everyone at this office are just fantastic. I felt so comfortable and heard from my first appointment, and Dr. Shamie even got to the bottom of an eye issue I’d been facing that many other doctors weren’t able to identify. I came to her for ICL and we eased into it to make sure all my other eye issues were addressed, and her thoughtfulness during that process made me feel so safe going into the ICL procedure. Dr. Shamie takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions you have, and her warmth and genuine care made me feel like I could put full trust in her expertise. Can’t recommend this office and Dr. Shamie enough!!

I don’t even know how to properly thank Dr. Neda Shamie. This surgery truly changed my life. I had -8 vision for over 20 years. By the time I turned 50, I couldn’t wear contacts anymore, and my glasses were so strong they gave me headaches. Everyday life and work had become very difficult. To be honest, the idea of putting a lens inside my eye was scary. But from the very first consultation, I knew I could trust her. What impressed me the most was how thorough and fast everything was. She took the time to answer every single concern I had — and responded quickly. Also, something no other doctor ever told me: she immediately identified that I had eyelash mites causing my dry eye issues. Instead of rushing into surgery, she treated that first for 6 weeks before proceeding. That level of care and accuracy gave me so much confidence. The entire experience — from consultation to surgery to follow-up — was excellent. Her staff is kind, professional, and very responsive. Of course, I was nervous on the day of surgery, but I felt completely safe in her hands. And after the procedure, my vision improved day by day. Now, just 3 weeks later, my vision is incredibly clear (20/10), and that uncomfortable feeling in my eyes is almost completely gone. I can honestly say — the world looks beautiful in a way I’ve never experienced before. If you are struggling with your vision and considering ICL, I truly, truly recommend Dr. Neda Shamie and her team.

I had LASIK done by Dr Shamie and I cannot stress enough how amazing her, and everyone's care was at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. I was an ideal candidate for LASIK and unfortunately during the procedure it became apparent to Dr Shamie that i had a somewhat rare condition called EBMD. There was no testing anyone could have done to know this in advance but broad strokes it meant that my recovery was going to take much longer. Through it all the team at MSHRVI was unbelievably kind and attentive. Their were extremely accommodating to extra appointments to assuage any concerns I may have had and despite it all, i still ended up with 20/15 vision in each eye! I have said this before and I'll say it again, even if i had known about EBMD before hand, I still would have gone through with the procedure as long as I knew Dr Shamie and her team were the ones caring for me. This is the only facility in Los Angeles I ever tell people to go to, stop shopping around and go here, it was an excellent experience! And if you have a side effect like mine, I know it can be scary, but be patient and kind and it will get better!

The absolute best. Highly recommend. Everyone is very friendly and an expert in their field wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!

Really wonderful group. So professional and so nice.

Great patient attention and care to detail - and most important, great treatment (six people in my family have had eye surgery here and all very very happy

Amazing customer service! Dr Hura was wonderful and caring! Would definitely recommend!!!

Incredibly kind, professional and accommodating. I had no problems before or after my surgery. Dr. Shamie was fantastic not only as a doctor bu also as a person. She and her staff made me feel comfortable and safe throughout the process. She loves her staff and her staff loves her, which should tell you all you need to know about the level of team work involved. Glad I went with them.

Great results

I midway through the process having had both of my corneas done by Dr. Shamie. That went very well and I’m very pleased with the office and with Dr. Shamie. Now I go onto Dr. Hura For the cataracts. Looking forward to that everything has been great so far. It’s now a year later and I’ve had the light adjusting lenses installed by Dr. Hura. This is a transformational experience in my life. I went from 60 years of wearing glasses to no need for glasses and I had pretty bum eyesight. I’ve had an amazing experience and I can only recommend both Dr. Shamie and Dr. Hura with the highest degree of thanks and gratitude for what they’ve done for my eyes.

I’m about a month out from my EVO ICL procedure, and I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. I originally came in for a LASIK consultation, and from that very first appointment, Dr. Shamie and her team were incredible. Thoughtful, thorough, and extremely patient. It turned out I wasn’t a great candidate for LASIK due to dryness, and I really appreciated how intentional Dr. Shamie was in prioritizing the long-term health of my eyes rather than pushing me toward a procedure that might not be the best fit. She introduced me to EVO ICL as an alternative, and took the time to walk me through everything, the differences, the benefits, and what to realistically expect. I felt completely informed and confident in my decision because of her expertise and how clearly she explained every step. On the day of the procedure, I felt at ease from the moment I walked into the surgery center. The entire process was seamless, quick, and incredibly well-run. Dr. Shamie was with me every step of the way, which made such a difference. What’s still amazing to me is that I could see clearly the same day. After wearing glasses for most of my life, it felt surreal. Now, one month later, my vision is great and everything has been smooth. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Shamie and her team. The entire experience, from consultation to procedure to follow-up, was exceptional.

Having. DMEK surgery has been the best decision for me. Dr Shamie is warm and assuring. I feel completely confident that I am in. very good hands.

I had excellent care from my first evaluation through my cataract surgeries

Dr. Shamie and her staff are excellent. She has been my trusted doctor for 12 years and I travel a distance to see her because she is the best. Thank you, Dr. Shamie!

Absolutely fabulous! I had my lenses replaced with the multi-focal lens and my vision couldn’t be better. The procedure takes no time at all and recovery is next to nothing. Dr. Hura is amazing! I am so glad that my daughter (who had lasik here) sent me in their direction. Thank you, thank you to all of the wonderful staff for their professionalism and kindness!! You are the BEST!

In Dr.Shamie I found the rare qualities of a highly skilled & vastly experienced surgeon who demonstrates warmth, patience, genuine care and the uncanny ability to understand her patient’s needs. Dr.Shamie & her medical team have created an exemplary ‘high touch’ medical practice. My experience with the entire process of assessment, surgery, & post surgery unfolded perfectly & exceeded all expectations. With heartfelt gratitude, Eduardo Escobar.

I had an amazing experience with my ICL surgery with Dr. Hura and the entire team. From the very beginning, everything was explained thoroughly, which really helped ease any nerves I had going into the procedure. The surgery itself was smooth, and I was honestly surprised by how minimal the downtime was. Recovery was much easier than I expected, and I was able to get back to my routine quickly. What stood out the most was how comfortable and cared for I felt throughout the entire process. Dr. Hura and the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and supportive every step of the way. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone considering vision correction surgery!

Initially I was nervous about LASIK, because I only have one set of eyes and I didn’t know how risky it was. But I’d wondered about it for a long time, so I asked chatGPT where do famous people go to do their LASIK. I figured if a person can afford to go anywhere, where would they go? I found that many go to Maloney-Shamie-Hura, which gave me a sense of trust. And, wonderfully, I found the price of LASIK here is not much different than other places. Im super glad I chose here. The experience was great overall. The staff were so kind to me and Dr. Hura corrected my vision to better than I’ve ever had. I see better now than I did with glasses. The recovery process was really smooth. ************** I think LASIK was the right choice for me, but I recommend thinking carefully about whether you want LASIK or PRK—PRK has a longer recovery time but carries a lower risk of flap-related complications down the line, and may be better suited to you if you do contact sports, are in the military, or otherwise are at risk of getting hit hard on your eyeball. Maloney-Shamie-Hura offers both LASIK and PRK and they explained to me the different consideration with each. ************** Shout out to Sandy, Shane, and Dr. Woo for popping in to say hello during each visit. I really felt at home, in a way I did not anticipate. And shout out to Emily, Erica, Phoebe, and Luis as well for making me feel welcome. And of course, a huge thank you to Dr. Hura for being so awesome and doing the operation. Cheers!

Excellent service, very professional, and state of the art equipment. While they may be a little more expensive than others, the extra cost is well worth it. It is great not having to wear glasses.

Dr,Shamie compare to the competition is way above par, for one thing immediately when you meet her, their is a warmth, a readiness to connect that is showing in her eyes. You feel already in good hands...that has been. a very determinant reason in choosing this doctor. You can readily tell that she loved her work, she is relaxed, and her staff also is in tune with her.My cataract surgeries were a eye opening success!..To me she is more than a doctor she is a true healer, because a true healer will alchemise its love for her work with this ardent desire to heal its patients.

I very much appreciated the thoroughness of the exams the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute conducted before determining what would be the best procedure for vision correction for me. The in depth explanation of their reasoning, the realistic setting of expectations, and and the excellent communications during and after the procedure demonstrated their commitment to achieving the highest level of service at each step in the process. Moreover, the kind, caring demeanor of each member of their staff further reflected their commitment to making their patients feel cared for. Easily the most impressive practice I’ve encountered.

Dr Shamie and all the staff are amazing. From initial consultation to surgery and post-op visits all have been good. My vision is so clear after cataract surgery and upgraded lenses, can’t thank them enough and it’s only been 3 weeks.

I’m very grateful to Dr. Arjan Hura and the entire team for their professionalism and care. The surgery went perfectly, and the results exceeded my expectations. Thanks to them, I can now see the world much clearer and better than before. I’m truly happy that I trusted my eyes to such skilled professionals.

Absolutely exceptional. Dr Hura was so thorough and kind and informative. The procedure was quick and I felt taken care of before and after

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.

Great and warm service. Clear directions. Patient in explaining things. Highly satisfied with results

Dr. Shamie did great work on my cataract surgery and she helped me to choose the right lens for me. and now I felt I got my 19 year-old vision back.. thanks to Dr. Shamie.

Very caring staff at every level

It was really well prepared. Lots of important eye related measures were taken. Dr Shamie ultimately made the decision of which lens would be used and that was that. There was a lot of paperwork to read and understand but the nerves I had were not needed at all, it went very smoothly. I am looking forward to my first night drive which was the main reason for me to do the operation ,. 1 think it will go very well. And I won’t be saying “ I can’t read that sign.” Wow That will be very cool,. Thank you so much Dr Shamie .J Bisset, I will definitely check

From my first office visit for evaluation to the completion of my cataract surgery, every person associated with Maloney-Shamie-Hura was very understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Dr. Hura,who did my surgery, was excellent — I had no discomfort and I am so pleased to be able to see so much better now.

Dr Samie and her staff were fantastic. From the first appt in January, 2026, which was very complete in 2.5 hrs. My surgery was 2 weeks later and it was GREAT! They took me in the laser room and removed my astigmatism and then in the surgery they put in a tauric lense. The result the next day, I could read the smallest line on the eye chart! I no longer need glasses. I am thrilled

Dr. Shamie is spectacular.

Dr. Hura and his entire team was excellent and the experience was well beyond my expectations from first appointment, to surgery and all follow-ups. I could not recommend them more highly to anyone entrusting the care and safety of their eyes to a remarkably competent team.

Dr. Shamie is spectacular !!

I had EVO ICL surgery at Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very first consultation, the staff made me feel informed, calm, and genuinely cared for. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions without rushing me. The procedure itself was smooth and much quicker than I expected. The team was professional, reassuring, and incredibly efficient. Recovery was also easier than I anticipated, and my vision improvement has been amazing. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my quality of life.

easy in, easy out aftercare with my optomitrist

I had a great experience and I can see clearly now. Dr Hura and Team are wonderful, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Thanks Dr. Hura & Team. God bless!

Great experience, Dr. Shamie is the best cataract surgeon.

Amazing experience at Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. Dr. Shamie is so nice and professional. The staff is friendly and patient, and they made the whole process smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Dr Hura, Dr. Barnes and the staff were super efficient & caring. Impressive customer service. I highly recommend

This was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The office is very organized, the staff are friendly and professional and Dr Shamie is what every doctor should be. Could not be happier with the whole process.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hura. From start to finish, he went way above and beyond. I needed my cataract surgery done before an upcoming trip, and he went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and make it happen. That alone meant so much to me. What really sets him apart, though, is how genuinely kind and communicative he is. I was pretty nervous, and Dr. Hura personally called me the day before the procedure and again after to check in, explain everything, and make sure I was okay. That level of care is rare and made a huge difference for me. He is incredibly patient, compassionate, and clearly best-in-class at what he does. I felt completely taken care of every step of the way and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re looking for an eye surgeon you can truly trust, I would recommend Dr. Hura to anyone without hesitation.

I had such a fantastic experience at this institute. The doctors and staff were very professional and endearing.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. My mother was well taken care of. Both the staff and Dr Shamie were very clear, professional, and helpful. I highly recommend!

Dr Shamie is awesome! She is so dedicated and her personal follow-up to check on you after the surgery is impressive. I had cataract surgery with the multi focal lens replacement and the results are amazing. I can’t believe that I not only see distance, but can read fine print without reading glasses. It is life changing. I highly recommend Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute.

Every aspect of this experience, from the initial comprehensive eye exam to the cataract surgery to the after-care examination, was handled with sensitivity, great care, and utmost professionalism.

Wonderful doctors. Very personable and professional. They explained everything so clearly. Easy surgery and now I can see perfectly without glasses for driving and tv.

From the initial eye exam through the cataract surgery and follow up care, everything was thoughtfully, sensitively, and professionally attended to. A remarkable experience!

Great service and amazing results. Dr Shamie and her staff created a world-class experience from start to finish. I will be doing another procedure without hesitation.

Amazing experience. Everyone was extremely professional. Explained everything clearly. Offices are very nice. Processes quick and painless Highly recommend

Wow what a great experience I had with Dr Shamie. I came in for the initial consultation and she gave me my several options to fix my vision. After a thorough conversation and testing I elected to do the Evo ICL option. We were able to schedule a convenient time for me right away. The surgery went amazing and the next day I had 20/15 vision. Thank you soooo much for changing my life for the better.

I got lasik yesterday and I’m sitting here looking around the room, everything perfectly clear, thinking about how incredible it is that lasik technology exists. I had such an incredible experience with Dr. Hura and the entire staff here, I could not have even imagined a better and more comfortable experience going through the lasik procedure. Thank you to the whole office for caring so much about your patients. I can’t believe I can see clearly now 🥰

I cannot state how patient, professional, and calming Dr. Shamie is. I did a LASIK procedure under her, and as someone with a phobia for anything touching my eyes, Dr. Shamie was extremely patient and cooperative with me while doing the procedure. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking to do LASIK or other eye procedures.

My experience was excellent. Dr. Shamie exceeded my expectations and my vision is all that she said it would be. Also my interaction with everyone at the office was exceptional.

easy, painless lens replacement surgery for lifetime of 20/20 vision, and great patient care. Highly recommend!

I went to this office because I had a bad case of dry eye and none of the three ophthalmologists I had seen for my blurry vision had come up with a solution. They just told me to use eye drops, which didn’t help. A good friend recommended Dr. Maloney, and out of desperation I went. At the very first visit they told what was causing the dry eye, and they had a cure for it. I had been trying to find a solution for three years! It was not rocket science, so I don’t know why they are the only doctors who were able to diagnose it. I’m so grateful to them for this.The medication for the condition is very expensive, but they connected me with a foundation that provides money for certain medications and l didn’t have to pay anything for it. After that I felt l could trust them, so I moved forward with the second cataract surgery with them. My first cataract surgery had not ended well and I was so afraid to move on with the second eye, so I had put it off for over a year. I am happy to report that this surgery has had a very good result and this time I can see much better. I can even read street signs now! Thank you to all the doctors and technicians I saw at this practice.

From start to finish, my experience with the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute was amazing. Dr. Hura is great, very knowledgeable and explained the whole process and after care in great detail. The actual procedure took maybe 10 mins? And voila! I’ve had glasses since I was 7 and I don’t remember ever having clear vision like I do now. My fiancée also had his eye surgery here but with Dr. Shamie last year. We both LOVE the result!

Efficient, professional, friendly, on time

I opted for the lower cost manual (not laser) cataract surgery. But the quality of the experience was top shelf, from Dr. Shamie's surgical skills to the front office and follow ups with other medical personnel at the office. Everyone is good at their job and they put you at ease. I highly recommend.

I recently had ICL surgery performed by Dr. Hura at the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. For years—since middle school—I have been dependent on prescription glasses, and the daily habit of needing them felt permanent. Just one week after my procedure, I can confidently say that my vision is better than 20/20! The entire experience, from the consultation to the post-op care, was exceptional. Dr. Hura and the entire team were professional, reassuring, and clearly experts in their field. Getting rid of my glasses or wearing contacts daily is a huge relief, and I couldn't be happier with the freedom and clarity my new vision provides. If you are considering ICL or any vision correction surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Hura and the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute. This has been a truly life-changing decision!

I would like to say that my experience at this amazing establishment begin with their front desk! I can tell you that they are so professional and kind at the same time. They greet you with a smile and they continue to work for you in every way they can. Then I would like to tell you about the technicians who took care of my eyes and made all the necessary computations in regards to stigmatisms, cataracts clouds, and everything else you could think of.! From that position, I met with two more doctors to discuss what needs to be done treatment wise and also what I could afford to have done that would make sense. At this point, I met the incredible DOCTOR HURA. He is such a winner not just because he is a fantastic surgeon and DOCTOR, but because his bedside manners are so superior to so many other doctors that I have met. He greeted me with a smile he kept that same attitude all the way through the examination and made me feel very comfortable that what was about to happen Would be the best for my eyes. As I prepared for the next two surgeries each I divided by two weeks of rest I felt more and more comfortable. At that point I met DOCTOR HURA at the surgical center in Beverly Hills the specialty surgical center. They are on Wilshire Boulevard and they are an amazing group of people. I can only tell you that the combination between technicians doctors the surgery center. The recovery area was so amazing that I look forward to not just the first surgery, but my second surgery. These people are so wonderful so fantastic and most of all so human about what they do, I will tell you that if you have any eye problem and I don’t care where you live please go see them. Take the time to meet with him. Remember, this is your eyes. its your life and it’s something that counts so very much. These people ,these doctors ,these technicians, the front desk are the best in the business and I will tell you I will recommend them in any way I can Please, if you’re thinking about having any surgery done the surgical center of Maloney and HURA are the absolute best. My DOCTOR was DOCTOR HURA and I will recommend him to everyone that I can ! I hope that this helps people out there to understand the value of not just a great facility, but the value of making sure your eyes turn out right when it’s all done. God bless you all stay safe stay strong and stay healthy

Overall, 5/5 stars. I am very pleased with how easy the process was from start to finish. How well explained each step of the process was and the staff is as professional as they come. My vision fell on the more mild side and had astigmatism in both eyes. But still met the requirements for LASIK. The surgery itself wasn’t very long in duration. The recovery process was pretty simple. And very little to no pain. Mostly the dry eyes feeling after I wake up and sometimes throughout the day. But as my eyes healed the dry eye feeling occurs less. After wearing contacts for 20+ years, I am very pleased with the results and only wish that I had LASIK years ago. Dr. Hura was great and very knowledgeable. He made himself available for any questions throughout the process and even after while I was recovering. If anyone is looking for the best vision institute on the west coast. This one is it.

I recently had PRK Surgery preformed by Dr. Hura and let me just say my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner! The staff was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring throughout the process. They took the time to explain every step and answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable before, during and after the procedure. They even called me at home after my surgery just to check on me and make sure I was recovering well. That personal touch meant a lot and showed how much they truly care about their patients.

From my very first visit to the office, I was incredibly impressed by the personal service and the thorough, detailed explanation of the multifocal artificial lens procedure. Every step was clearly outlined, and I felt completely supported and informed from the beginning. During the surgery itself, I felt safe and at ease, thanks to the professionalism, precision, and calm reassurance of Dr. Shamie and her team. The entire process was seamless, and I knew I was in the best hands. The post-operative appointments have been just as exceptional. The level of care, attention, and follow-through has truly exceeded my expectations. Each visit has reinforced how committed the Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute is to patient well-being and long-term success. Choosing multifocal lenses was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my quality of life. My vision has improved dramatically, and I am genuinely grateful for the expertise and compassion of the entire team. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can’t say enough about how happy I am with Dr. Shamie and all of the team. Extraordinary kindness Thank you so much. David K

#1 Dr Shamie is the absolute best. She is beyond expert in this field.. do your research and I challenge you to find someone you feel more comfortable with (or better yet just trust this review as I trusted several of my closest friends who referred me). Not only is she the most qualified dr you will find, but she is also the sweetest ❤️🫶🏻. #2 the procedure is easier than you can possibly imagine. Even after my closest friends who referred me walked me through the process, I still had butterflies. On the whole spectrum of how easy or scary it was going to be, the procedure was so easy that it did not even register within those initial expectations. 30 seconds on each eye, few minutes for the whole process, felt zero discomfort and so secure in Dr Shamie’s hands. Dont think about it any longer, just book your appt and do it!

I have needed vision correction since grade school and am a lifelong mono vision contact lens wearer. When I was informed by my optometrist that I needed to move forward with cataract surgery in both eyes, I was quite nervous about potential surgical problems or a vision result that would have me back in glasses or contacts post-surgery. After careful research, I settled on Dr. Neda Shamie to perform the surgeries. She and her team provided great pre-operative counseling and thoroughly prepared me for the surgery process itself and the post-operative care routine. The surgeries and recovery period both went as expected and were a positive experience. I can say without reservation that I now see better in both eyes than I did with the best correction I could achieve pre-surgery with contacts, and I do not even need to use reading glasses now with books or at the computer. She is a physician who is available to patiently address your concerns, truly cares about you as a person, and aims to provide her patients with the best possible results.

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Shamie at the Maloney-Shamie Eye Institute. She is incredibly caring, patient, and informative every step of the way. I felt completely comfortable and confident in her hands, and my surgery went perfectly. She made sure I understood the process, answered all my questions, and truly went above and beyond to make me feel supported. I’m extremely grateful for her expertise and compassion. Highly recommended!

Wonderful and easy experience. Prep time took 3 times as long as the procedure. The staff, doctors and med techs were the best. Highly recommend if you are searching for a place to have your procedure.

Dr. Shamie was referred to us by our optometrist for a cataract evaluation, and our entire experience from start to finish has been exceptional. When we first called to schedule an appointment, the phone was answered immediately by Courtney, who was extremely helpful and professional. When we arrived at the clinic, we were greeted with a smile by two staff members. Check-in was easy, and we didn’t wait long before my husband was called back. My husband mentioned that at least six team members evaluated his eyes before he met Dr. Shamie. She was very down-to-earth, took time to explain everything thoroughly, and provided options along with a booklet about cataracts. After the consultation, we were told that someone would reach out to schedule the surgery. Scheduling was smooth and stress-free thanks to Tanya, the surgical coordinator. My husband had cataract surgery on each eye one week apart, and he cannot praise Dr. Shamie enough for her professionalism, knowledge, and excellent patient care. We were especially impressed that Dr. Shamie personally messaged us the afternoon after surgery with her direct number, reviewing discharge instructions and important warning signs to watch for. This is how healthcare should be; clear communication, compassion, and guidance that helps patients feel confident and informed, especially when facing something as nerve-wracking as surgery. We highly recommend Dr. Shamie. She is truly one of the best in her profession.

From consultation to post-surgery, the care at MSH was exceptional. Each member of the staff was welcoming and eager to answer all my questions. Dr. Shamie was absolutely fantastic! Procedure was quick and the results were immediate. For anyone considering LASIK, I would highly recommend Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute

Dr. Neda Shamie did great by me. After consulting with her I knew that I was in capable hands, and I was. I am very grateful to her! Also, her very efficient team, including nonmedical personnel from MSHVI to SSC-BH, was very patient with me. Thank you, all, very much!

While still adjusting to my recently placed multifocal lenses, I'm daring to say, I feel bolder and like my vision, sharper. I feel renewed (at age 3/4 of a century)! I am very thankful to Dr. Shamie for calming my apprehension, assuring me that cataract surgery Is safe and most importantly, for her expert skill. I am very grateful to her. My gratitude extends to her entire team, including nonmedical personnel. Thank you, all, very much!

I can not say enough, perfect all around. Thanks so much

Had the best experience! Everyone was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Shamie. You are in great hands with her and her team.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. From the first communication to the post-operative care, it's been amazing. Had my EVO ICL two weeks ago and am beyond glad I did it. I considered doctors in my home state and nationwide before landing on Dr. Shamie. There is no one better. Everyone was fantastic -- Dr. Shamie, Dr. Barnes, Dr. Woo, Dr. Park, Seth, Luis, Sandy, Brenda, the front desk team! All were perfect. Normally you go to a practice for the Doctor only, while amazing, it's all the staff too here that made the difference. You can tell Dr. Shamie cares about the patient experience in all aspects. I have recommended her to everyone. Worth the travel and the wait to find the best doctor!
