I had severe cataracts in both eyes and had been told that while I was a candidate for cataract…read moresurgery that they didn't want to raise my expectations too high. On my first visit , I found everyone in the office to be very helpful. The technicians I saw and doctor cunningham were very kind and caring and helpful in explaining what they were doing , and what the outcome could be. Doctor hancock was equally professional and very caring. After cataract surgery on both eyes, I am now able to see as well as before.I lost my sight. Thanks to the lord and to doctor cunningham and his wonderful office and staff. On a scale of 12 ten I give them a twenty. Thank you.

I will not return to this practice. I should have left them last year when they hung me out to dry…read morein 110-degree heat. My appointment was for 12:30. When I got there, the office was locked, with a note on the door saying they were closed for lunch between 12 and I, with no visible inside activity. I gave them one more chance this year, only find a major problem this week when I received a final notice with a final payment due, but no proof of service, or backup information. I went to the Guadalupe office on 7/27/26 and was told they could not help with the situation, because it was not their problem. It belonged to their off-site billing section. I was told to contact corporate in Dallas by phone to resolve this matter. When I asked for a statement showing services provided, they said they do not have that information in their office. What? It is all in Dallas. The final notice came without my receiving any statement or billing or service information, either by mail or email. They added insult to injury when they sent an email wishing me Happy Birthday. So, no advance notice of any amount due, and no list of services provided prior to the late notice. I was told that everything is handled by corporate. What happened to the old medical practices where they were responsive to their patients? Is it all to the point of major corporations?

Being 85 years old and having multiple vision problems, I have visited my fair share of eye…read moredoctors. I've come across doctors who were very short with me, inaccurate with their diagnosis, and just excessively rude. On one occasion my daughter had taken me to a retina specialist (Dr. Matthew Ziemianski). Now, I am not one to say negative things about others but this doctor had the worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met. After a THREE HOUR wait (In an almost empty lobby) and only a 5 minute evaluation, I had left furious, and my daughter had to hold back her tears. I suffer from macular degeneration and my daughter had asked Dr. Ziemianski if he thought surgery would be an option to improve my vision, and he had basically responded with, "You have to deal with the fact that she's too old, nothing will help her at this point, but she'll probably die before she goes completely blind." After that horrible experience I almost wanted to never to visit another eye doctor again. However, a family friend insisted that we see Dr. VanBuren of Phoenix Ophthalmologists. So I agreed. To begin with, the wait time was (at most) 10 minutes. The tech, Jennifer, who did my exam prior to the doctor seeing me was beyond wonderful! Our friend had told their office about the horrible experience I had with Ziemanski and it was as if she was going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She was very sweet and very effective and answered any questions (politely and patiently) that I asked. When Dr. VanBuren came in to see me he, too, was very kind when suggesting what options I might be able to take. (He even apologized about Ziemianski's harsh remarks). Over all, in all my years of eye doctors visits, Phoenix Ophthalmologists has the absolute best staff of technicians and doctors. Very friendly, kind and clearly there to help make your day (and life) better. Thank you for the wonderful experience! I will definitely be back for any and all vision related needs! (And thank you to my granddaughter for typing this out for me.)

Dr Van Buren is caring knowledgeable and personable. Office staff is friendly and efficient…read more Highly recommend .

I like to come to this clinic and meeting with very beautiful and courteous front Lady, Maricella…read more I came twice to the Clinic at 16st for my father (Yahya Sie). My father have AMD on both eyes. Dr. Shabari has been taking care of my father. Dr. Shabari is the most awesome Dr that I have ever meet. She is "very passionate" AND she is "full of compassion". You can tell from her gentle voice and her talk and her action. She is very approachable and personable. She explain very well. She went over the picture taken by heat staff. The staff are also very friendly. This is the best "clinic" that I ever met in Arizona. This clinic is specialized in Retina. and I believe they have 3 doctors. The one that I met is Dr. Shabari. She is an Indian decent and very smart. i feel comfortable to trust my father retina treatment to her and her clinic. The clinic is very clean and managed super well. There are NOT too much patients; People are treat as human with respect. The waiting time is not long. The parking at 16st is good, plenty of space. the restrooms are clean. The office looks very modern. Life is short, It is always best to have Dr that care about you. And you will 100 % get it from Dr. Shabari and her staff. I am Asian and we are very well educated and respectful person. With "PhD degree". We are "pro-live" and we "love Family". You can feel the family like environment with Dr. Shabari and Clinic. Dr. Shabari has the talent for that. NOT all Dr has it. Dr. Shabari has the Heart for her patient. Thanks for the existence of this clinic in our beautiful Arizona !

This review is based strictly on my two experiences bringing my elderly father to this office…read more Our previous visit was for a retina check and took 3 1/2 hours. I was there long enough to walk the parking lot and get 10,000 steps while I waited. I hoped that was an unusually bad day, but unfortunately today's experience was much of the same. Today, my dad had a 7:00 AM appointment--the first appointment of the day--for an injection in his eye. His eye was numbed shortly after we arrived, and then he was left sitting in the procedure room waiting. By 7:52, the doctor still had not performed the injection. He came in, administered additional numbing drops, said he would be back, and left again. My dad later told me that the injection was painful. I am not a doctor, so I can't say whether the long wait had anything to do with that, but as his daughter, of course it makes me question whether the original numbing medication was still adequately effective after sitting there for so long. During the wait, at least five medical assistants came in and out of his procedure room to access medication from a refrigerator. No knocking, just opening the door and coming in. I was also told I needed to put on a mask because this was a procedure room, yet the employees repeatedly entering the room were not wearing masks. If a refrigerator is accessed that frequently by staff, perhaps a patient's procedure room isn't the best place for it. What bothers me most, though, is the lack of consideration for elderly patients and the people responsible for getting them to these appointments. Many elderly patients can't simply drive themselves here, sit for several hours and drive themselves home. They depend on their children, spouses or caregivers for transportation. Those people have jobs, families and other responsibilities. Expecting a routine appointment to regularly take 2-3+ hours puts an unnecessary burden on both the patient and the person caring for them. I understand that doctors get behind. Emergencies happen. I don't expect a medical office to run perfectly on schedule every single day. But when our last appointment took 3 1/2 hours and today's 7:00 AM first appointment of the day involved this much waiting, it becomes difficult to view it as an occasional delay. It's also frustrating to read so many other reviews describing similar experiences. When the same concern is repeatedly mentioned by patients, you would hope the practice would recognize it and make an effort to improve. I'm not writing this because I expect special treatment. I simply believe elderly patients--and the family members who take responsibility for getting them to their medical care--deserve better consideration for their time, better communication while they're waiting, and a more organized experience.
