I think the Doctor, after the three plus years that I have been coming to the Clinic, thinks I know more than I really know. Every few visits it would be very helpful for the Doctor to spend a few minutes going over the treatment and progress or lack therof in correcting the problem. Although I know they would answer any question posed and do understand the basic problem and treatment.

NOTICE: I saw two PHds during my visit. The first was a "fellow." It was clear that she was a student and still learning. My experience with her was not positive. The "Fellow" physician did not want to listen to what I had to say about my symptoms and even responded to me with "that information does't count." When I became frustrated she attempted to address the issue and did offer an apology. After her apology she attempted to tell me her thoughts about my condition which were totally different from Dr. Shakoor's. She went through her explination so quickly that I didn't get half of what she was saying. What I did get was confusing because it didn't match Shakoor's (as I mentioned). Her bedside manner needs serious work. Second physician I saw was WORLD CLASS. Dr. Shakoor is personable, bright, articulate, good sense of humor, caring, and clearly very good at what he does. He spent ample time with my husband and I. Answered all of our questions and ensured that we were walking out of our engagement with him with an understanding of his diagnosis and prognosis. My survey responses are in response to my experience with Shakoor, and not the fellow Phd

My injection in my eye was extremely painful ! I questioned the assistant about doing the drops to deaden my eye, as he did not even wait between them, and he said oh no we use something that reacts instantly. and the provider came in right away and injected my eye. The pain was excruciating !! I told him I have never felt anything in any of my prior injections and this was my 21st one . He asked if I usually had a numbing shot prior to the injection and I said yes. That question should have been asked prior !!! He said oh well we will do that next time and left the room. The assistant stayed in there but the provider showed no compassion whatever !

I had had this same eye examine by another doctor and experienced no pain just pressure. With Dr. Shakpoor I actually had to say ouch and my eye balls were sore for a couple of hours after. It felt like his finger nails were pressing on my skin and eye instead of the pads of his fingers. While he apologized I felt he was heavy handed compared to the other doctor I had seen.

Dr. Shakoor is a very knowledgeable physician. My only complaint is that he is always in such a hurry and doesn't take the time to slow down, and really explain what's going on, why a condition might be occurring, and why a certain treatment plan is occurring. For someone who is dealing with people's vision, one would think a little more time on delivery and explanation might occur. I'm thrilled that he's as brilliant as he is, but he needs to share that with his patients in a consumable way.

Dr. Shakour is very professional and kind. He was very upset that I had waited so long because the clerk who had checked me in neglected to mark me down as having arrived. Both of the times I had to come to the University Clinic resulted in poor experiences for me. If Dr. Shakour had not seen me in the waiting room I would probably still be there waiting.

That made all the difference for us both.
