Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thorough, scientific and very pleasant!
One of the rare instances in which a doctor takes the time to perform all needed tests. He has excellent people skills and makes you feel at ease. Goes above and beyond to make sure patient understands.

Amazing work and support
Doctor Shuster and his team have seen me now for a few years. Today, once again, they were amazing. Each person I met was very efficient and precise. They were very clear for the information shared. They were professional in the interaction, but also sweet and supportive. Doctor Shuster explained where I stand, as well as what I can expect for the future when I asked the question. His answers made me feel I'm in good hands. That personal attention Doctor Shuster and his team are giving me now for a few years show me that I'm not just a patient, but I'm their patient. I don't need to be pampered, I traveled a lot and I'm used to different cultural habits and ways to communication, but the service provided by this team is absolutely excellent. They really stand out for their professionalism and their kindness. Doctor Shuster , thank you so much. Claire Heyndrickx Gaydos

Years ago I sought your expert care in Orlando (Princeton). Due to distance, a personal visit is not practical, rather I seek a recommendation for PEO (YAG) here in Maryland. As always, your professional wisdom is highly regarded.

Dr Jerry Shuster is very professional, responsible and trustful. I saw him last on March 1st, 2019. From washing his hands thoroughly to examining my eyes precisely, explaining and discussing my case patiently and clearly, every detail shows his experiences and professionalism. While staying in some other states for nearly 20 years b4 coming to Florida, I have seen doctors in New York, New Jersey, California and Pennsylvania. Today, I'd like to say: East, west, Dr Shuster is the best.

I met Dr Shuster at a critical time. I had glaucoma surgery on my left eye in NJ, done by another doctor. After this surgery, I was in danger of completely losing my left eye. Dr Shuster's skills, knowledge and compassion saved and stabilized my left eye. After months of working to save my left eye, Dr Shuster performed a successful glaucoma surgery on my right eye. The surgery went so well that the vision in my right eye was significantly improved the next day. Dr Shuster is very kind and pati

I came to Dr. Shuster after a glaucoma surgery another doctor did for me in NJ. My NJ doctor installed a shunt that was LEAKING. The pressure in my eye was extremelly low. I was very worried that I would loose all sight in my eye. Dr. Shuster was able to control the pressure and stop the leakage. Thanks to Dr. Shuster, my surgery site is healed and my vision is back to where I can read and even drive. Thank you so much for saving my eye!
