This review is mostly to provide an update on Dr. Shahon. She is an excellent doctor who I am SOOO disappointed to have lost access to, as she now works for the Phoenix Indian Medical Center and is no longer in private practice. If she ever returns to private practice, I'll beat a path to her door immediately!

I went to see Dr. Shahon because I am diabetic. I had a very thorough examination and was given a prescription for glasses. I see better than I have for 15 years! I also liked that she didn't rush and was interested in me as a person.

Dr. Shahon is probably the most intelligent doctor I've ever met. She is caring, brilliant and really helps deal with her patients needs. I have had dry eye problems forever and finally I went to Dr. Shahon for help. SHE IS A LIFE SAVER! I would recommend her to anyone I know, you won't be disappointed

I saw Dr. Shahon for my problems with dry eye. I had seen other opthalmologists in the past and did not find their treatments effective. Dr. Shahon spent a lot of time asking questions and explaining my condition. Her treatments have been very effective and I'm very happy with her care.

I saw Dr. Shahon for a second opinion after being told I needed cataract surgery. She prescribed new glasses and told me that she will check me in one year unless the glasses are not sufficient. I see extremely well with the new prescription and avoided unnecessary surgery!

I was recently seen by Dr. Shahon for eye pain. She spent a lot of time talking to me and examining me. I was very relieved and felt that she really cared. I would highly recommend her.
