UofU Patient
December 17, 2017
Wait to receive comments from care provider was just a little bit longer than necessary. The doctor/resident who administered the injection was the BEST yet. The nurse who preped my eye for the injection was even more efficient than the usual excellent care I usually receive.

Dr. Shakor was exceedingly caring and very knowledgable about my medical conditions.

Dr. Shakoor inspires the confidence that was lacking in the five doctors that attempted to diagnose and treat my eye. I only worry that we found truly professional care in enough time to save my sight.

UofU Patient
September 04, 2017
I was amazed how much things have changed over the last 19 years. I was very pleased with every part of my experience at the center. I was treated very well and I am excited that the treatments.

I was flying out of town after the appt. Due to office's own delay, I was close to missing my flight. Dr made several remarks about how I was cutting it too close. Blamed it all on me.

UofU Patient
July 05, 2017
Dr. Shakoor is always friendly but professional. I trust his overview of the issues I have going. I like the fact that he doesn't push surgery, but allows me to decide when my vision is affecting me enough to make the call regarding surgery.

UofU Patient
June 26, 2017
dr was quick and abrupt. i have seen dr. several times over the years and was informed at this apt. that i had scar tissue on one of eyes.new info to us. dr stated if it caused a problem then surgery could fix it. macular was the same as last apt. 6 months ago. dr then asked if we had any questions and we were not able to respond quickly and he left the room. info was new and no time to process implications, sedation? recovery time etc. of operation if needed. this visit dr. seemed rushed unlike prior visits.

UofU Patient
February 14, 2017
This was my first meeting with Dr. Shakoor who was friendly in greeting me but forgot to introduce himself by name; I felt his examination was very thorough and careful; he gave me clear instructions on how to help him by moving my eyes/gaze. At the end of the examination, he forgot to inform me that everything looked OK and he did not find any additional problems. When I asked him about his conclusions, he was quick to tell me that everything was OK and this relieved my uncertainty and anxiety.

UofU Patient
February 12, 2017
Dr. Shakoor and his staff have taken VERY good care of me!

UofU Patient
October 26, 2016
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.

UofU Patient
October 25, 2016
Doctor provides me hope. He knows my situation very well.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
October 05, 2016
Dr. Shakoor is the best. I have seen him very regularly over the past year, and he delivered news of a necessary surgical procedure to me with kindness, warmth, and a lot of understanding for my trepidation. I have total confidence in trusting my eyes to him, and as a person who has had Type 1 Diabetes for 46 years, knowing I will be having eye issues for the rest of my life, I am very happy that Dr. Shakoor is my Ophthalmologist.

UofU Patient
August 31, 2016
Dr. Shakoor told me he would, his words, take care of me, my condition, monitor it. he also recommended Dr. Christiansen, low vision specialist, to examine my eyes so I can have special glasses made to utilize my sight as best I can. I do intricate sewing, having special glasses would be great.

UofU Patient
August 23, 2016
Dr. Shakoor is an excellentirely physician and he works very hard to make sure the best care is given, but this location is way over-booked and the wait time is very long. The mid-valley location is much better.

UofU Patient
August 14, 2016
On a scale of 1 to 10, Dr. Shakoor is a 15 - I couldn't have asked for a kinder doctor.

UofU Patient
March 04, 2016
What could have been a very scary uncomfortable experience was handled with care and professionalism from the Resident to the Doctor. Again, the nurses were just a bit "cold and stiff" which was unnecessary. But the Resident and the Doctor were excellent.

UofU Patient
March 02, 2016
Dr. Shakoor was only in to see me for a brief moment. He had to go perform an emergency surgery. I was impressed he took a few minutes with me on just a follow-up visit.

Dr. Shakoor was great durng my exam and kept apologizing throughout the exam. He even called over to the main facility to see if another specialist could see me for additional testing the same day.

UofU Patient
February 03, 2016
Dr. Shakoor fills me with confidence when I see him. He always takes time to explain my condition and helps me understand why he is doing what he is doing.

As he was examining my eye, he kept making comments to the resident to document, however he didn't explain to me what he saw.

UofU Patient
November 03, 2015
Dr. Shakoor was excellent! He took the time to answer all of our questions and also to consider with us alternative treatments (if needed) in the future. No further procedure was needed - he is a very gifted surgeon as well as the ultimate professional. I feel very priviledged to be under his care, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

UofU Patient
September 03, 2015
I was a little nervous about a fellow doing my eye injection, and Dr. Shakoor was very willing to do this procedure himself and be very gracious about it.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
August 21, 2015

UofU Patient
July 13, 2015
The doctor was absolutely awesome! I was so very impressed. He was also incredible when we saw each other in the parking lot, not knowing we would share an appointment. It may have been helpful with the PA and NP to have filled out a medical questionnaire ahead of time to save me the pain of wondering whether I needed to tell them my medical history and perceiving some annoyance.

I am glad I went to this clinic, after my experience with another office and Doctor at a different place, DR. Shakoor made me feel that my eye health is important,( I did not feel like a germ under a microscope) I am very happy to be here.

Dr. Shakoor put my daughter at ease during a time when she was very apprehensive. He was kind, caring, and answered every one of her questions. She really thinks he's amazing. As a mom, I appreciated the time he took with her to step by step go through the procedure and tell her the truth, but he also kept telling her how strong she was and how he knew she could handle it. That made all the difference for us both.

I am very happy the doctor was concerned about my hurting arm and he diagnosed it. He called the ER department for me to be seen which possibly saved my hand.
