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 found Dr Shakoor to be very kind with a great sense of humor. I'm especially impressed with his knowledge and great memory. Moran is now out-of-network for me, after having been a patient there for 30 years. Blind in one eye, I'm at risk of losing sight in the other eye. For this reason, I feel it necessary to contact the very best doctor possible regarding problems with my retina.

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.

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. Shakoor is wonderful. He is professional, yet kind and compassionate. He really explains things well, plus he has a kind humor that really puts his patients at ease. I'm so grateful to have a such knowledgeable, caring doctor trying to help me/my vision. Thank you so much, Dr. Shakoor!!

UofU Patient September 12, 2017

good

UofU Patient September 05, 2017

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 will recieve will produce a much better outcome than I could have hoped for in the past. I am very pleased.

UofU Patient August 28, 2017

The doctor was very gentle and very kind to me. I was nervous and the hardest thing was the waiting time.

UofU Patient August 26, 2017

I expressed concern about the clear cover on my left Eye, seeming to be pulling away from the eye, but it was ignored.

UofU Patient August 19, 2017

I am so grateful to Dr. Shakoor! He's been so kind and I love his sense of humor - it was just what I needed in this stressful situation. Thanks to his skill, I also have pretty amazing vision!

UofU Patient August 18, 2017

UofU Patient July 07, 2017

I was treated most professionally and courteously by all the staff who were knowlegeable and very proficient in their treatments and tests.

UofU Patient July 05, 2017

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 June 18, 2017

UofU Patient April 04, 2017

Love Dr. Shakoor! He is pleasant and professional, but also has a sense of humor very similar to mine. He is very caring, and so kind. Dr. LaRochelle is also wonderful. THAT girl can do an eye injection on me ANY time. Such a light touch, and so gentle.

UofU Patient March 29, 2017

Everyone is excellent and the doctors are the very best - Dr. Shakoor is the absolute most fantastic person and doctor in the world. So is doctor Larocelle.

UofU Patient March 28, 2017

I really like Dr Shakoor and am especially drawn to his confidence with my unique condition. I respected the fact he wanted to stay on top of my concerns once and for all making sure I followed up with his recommendations to see the ophthalmologist who is also working with me.

UofU Patient March 27, 2017

Dr Shakoor is fantastic. This is evidenced by how busy the clinic is! But follow up appointments shouldn't take an hour or more.

UofU Patient March 18, 2017

good

UofU Patient March 09, 2017

I received an excellent explanation of my problem and treatment.

UofU Patient March 01, 2017

UofU Patient February 18, 2017

good

UofU Patient February 16, 2017

Again, excellent!

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 February 10, 2017

one of the best doctors I've ever seen made me feel very comfortable and reassured about my condition and his sympathetic understanding for what I was going through

UofU Patient January 04, 2017

Doctor is the best adn I would recommend him to anyone. He is very caring and concerned about my eye health.

UofU Patient January 02, 2017

good

UofU Patient October 29, 2016

Dr. Shakoor was very professional, caring, and informative.

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 October 24, 2016

Dr Shakoor was very careful to let me know what he was doing at all times. Very nice!

UofU Patient October 16, 2016

Dr. Shakoor is the epitome of what a surgeon should be and how doctors should act. There is no greater retinal specialist in Utah than Akbar Shakoor, M.D.

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 October 03, 2016

My provider is really good he is amazing he know what he is doing and I will thank him about taking care of me to be back to my normal vision. Na think I can do for him but my God bless him

Dr Shakoor has to be the best. He has always been very kind and gentle. Along with Nurses and PA's receptionists and all others. They are all the best

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 August 08, 2016

I have the highest regard for Dr. Shakoor and his assistant Amanda Dickey. They are the best. I am so fortunate to receive their care.

UofU Patient July 07, 2016

Dr. Shakoor is very kind. Although my eye condition is quite serious, he manages to reassure me and I left feeling much more hopeful because of the way he explained it and gave me options for treatment.I appreciate his expertise!

UofU Patient July 05, 2016

good

UofU Patient July 03, 2016

Dr Shakur is without a doubt the best physician I have ever seen. he it only is an incredible intellect, he can also communicate incredibly complex clinical conditions to an ordinary person. his personality is amazing. one of the friendliest clinicians I've met, and I've worked in healthcare for 15yrs. just a 10/10 provider

UofU Patient May 29, 2016

It just could not have been a better experience, during a very traumatic and sometimes very painful set of procedures.

UofU Patient May 23, 2016

good

UofU Patient May 11, 2016

The fellow that saw me first was very thorough. Dr. Shakoor seemed very rushed when he saw me. He was nice, but only spent maybe 5 minutes with me.

UofU Patient May 07, 2016

UofU Patient March 21, 2016

Dr. Shakoor and Zimmerman were professional and great at explaining my situation. They made it clear in a way I could understand the next steps in my care.

UofU Patient March 17, 2016

I felt like since you didn't take my insurance , I didn't get taken care as if I had insurance ..

UofU Patient March 11, 2016

He is superb

UofU Patient March 06, 2016

good

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.

UofU Patient March 02, 2016

This shot was very painful. I had not experienced that in the previous two shots.

UofU Patient March 01, 2016

Very kind and responsive. Dr. Shakour explained to me why another medication was used and seemed very concerned about getting my vision as good and he could.

UofU Patient February 16, 2016

Dr. Shakoor is an excellent surgeon.

UofU Patient February 13, 2016

Again, no one explained to me as to what was going on with my vision.

UofU Patient February 12, 2016

Clear and understandable explanations by Dr Shakoor and Dr Bell

UofU Patient February 08, 2016

one of the best doctors and specialists I have been to on this cancer journey. my eye problem wasn't related to cancer but they were so thoughtful encouraging and smart. amazing discussion

UofU Patient February 05, 2016

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. He seems to be conservative in his approach, no "quick fixes" which makes me grateful to know he is personally attending to decisions in my care.

UofU Patient January 30, 2016

Dr Shakoor is very thorough, brilliant, and personable. He offers many words of wisdom.

UofU Patient January 28, 2016

UofU Patient November 11, 2015

Doctor was running behind so couldn't spend to much time--but not a problem

UofU Patient November 10, 2015

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.

I liked the way DR. SHAKOOR explained every thing, very personable. Excellent bed side manners.

UofU Patient September 18, 2015

The medical assistant handed me some bottles but did not tell me what they were or how to use them. Therefore, I have not used them at all. Dr. Shakour is the best.

UofU Patient September 08, 2015

Good

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 August 29, 2015

I've only gone acouple of times. I'm still forming my opinion but so far I think it's positive!!

UofU Patient August 21, 2015

Dr. Shakoor has been so great with my daughter, putting her at ease every step of the way. He is always very open to answering all of my questions, and allowing us to see scans and pictures.

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.

UofU Patient July 05, 2015

Dr. Shakoor is the best.

UofU Patient July 04, 2015

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.

UofU Patient June 24, 2015

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.

UofU Patient June 19, 2015

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.
