Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2023
I can not say enough good things about Dr. Shepps and his team. I was referred to Dr. Shepps by my friend who, (and her family) have been patients of Dr. Shepps for about 30 years! I had cataract surgery and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Shepps and his entire team were professional, well organized and very caring. Dr. Shepps and Dr. Tan are both compassionate and attentive. They spent ample time to answers all of my questions and the results are amazing! The entire team is very efficient and knowledgeable. The wait time was less than five minutes. Keep up the great work!!
