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.

Don’t know. Can’t get past the front desk to make an appointment. On hold for 20 minutes. Unacceptable and unprofessional.

Super Doc
Dr. Shulkin came highly recommended by my regular Ophthalmologist for blepharoplasty. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in great hands. I had read about so many bad results that can happen with this surgery, and he assured me while he had to be careful with my eyes, everything would be fine. He was right. The results are awesome. Dr. Shulkin is encouraging, enthusiastic, is recognized by his peers as highly skilled, and he cares about his patients. He even thanked me for allowing him to help correct my eyelids. How many surgeons have ever thanked 'you?' I can confidently recommend him to anyone who may need his care.

Very skilled surgeon-highly recommended by peers.
I was referred to Dr. Shulkin by my general practitioner, my ophthalmologist, and the plastic surgeon that put me in the position of needing Dr. Shulkin's skills. I made the mistake of using a plastic surgeon that specializes in breast augmentation to do my upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery (eyelids).I developed a severe case of ectropion along with uncontrollable tearing in my lower eyelids after this initial surgery. Dr Shulkin agreed to take on the case of repairing my eyes and he was amazing in his approach and his patience in fixing my problem. This was not an easy fix and it involved a complicated surgical procedure on his part. My eyes look fantastic and and no more tearing. I can't say enough about how skilled and thoughtful he is as a surgeon, plus he is a good person with great patient communication skills.

Did a good job on excess skin on upper eyelids
I sort of envisioned this as a relatively simple procedure but one that had me worried if too much skin was removed. But it went very smoothly and I was very satisfied with the results.

Top Eye Surgeon
Dr. Shulkin was very detailed, professional and an expert on eyes. I had upper/lower eyelid surgery and the results were phenomenal. His precision and perception of what would look best was perfect. No scars and short recovery time.

Excellent Care - Thyroid Eye Disease
I became a patient of Dr. Shulkin's in January 2022 when I was diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease. I have been extremely pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Shulkin. After a thorough eye exam he took the time to explain what was happening with my eyes, talked about the different courses of treatment available to me and answered all my questions. His expertise and clinical judgment is excellent. He and his office staff are courteous, professional and responsive. After completing an 8-month course of treatment all of my symptoms have resolved and my vision is great. I'm so glad I was referred to Dr. Shulkin.

I had been putting off corrective surgery for a couple of years. Eventually I went to see Dr Shulkin. He performed surgery to correct my double vision..My problem was corrected immediately without any pain or discomfort. On my post op visit I learned that there was not even a scar. I cannot highly recommend Dr Shulkin enough.

This Dr and staff are incredible!! I have suffered with Thyroid Eye Disease for over 4 years. During my first visit with Dr. Shulkin he immediately knew what I suffered from and what my treatment should be. He recommended Tepezza as my course of action and after only 3 infusions my eyesight and double vision have improved tremendously. I truly believe that Dr. Shulkin is an amazing and caring physician and I’m truly grateful to be under his care
