Doctor Shazly answered my questions, and he explained them to me in lay terms. He explained the tests results that were taken that day, and compared them to my last visit, as well as other visits in previous years. I am very concerned about my eyes, and my whole body. What I look for in any doctor that I see is to explain test results to me in a manner that I can understand, and what I can look for to occur, or if I need more tests or if I should do something else. All doctors don't do that. Dr Shazly does.

I deeply appreciate and trust the knowledge base of the physicians I am entrusted to. Dr. Shazley was clear and concise regarding and confirming the options available to me at this time with this progressive disease. He offered suggested behaviors that that could help improve daily activities and made his expertise is available if there were any additional problems. He recommended my glasses not have bifocals.
