I was concerned when I first heard I needed cataract surgery. Then, I met Dr. Shoemaker and his staff. They are so professional, caring, and skilled that I went into surgery last week completely trusting in them in every way. The results were amazing: no pain, no discomfort, just 20/20 vision in that eye. Now, I'm eagerly awaiting cataract surgery on the other eye next week and am expecting equally awesome results! I have gone to many eye doctors over the years, but have never met one that remotely compares to this physician. Center for Sight is the place to go if you want to completely put your trust in your eye doctor/surgeon and his staff. They are highly skilled professionals who will meet all your expectations . . . and go beyond. I never knew seeing clearly - and without corrective lenses - could be so exhilarating! read more

I first met Dr. Shoemaker when I had Medical Assistant students in his office in Venice in the '80's. They were all impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of the office, as well as the expertise of the doctor and how much they learned as part of their externship experience. Naturally, then, as a health care professional, when I was diagnosed with cataracts, the only person I wanted to operate on me was Dr. David Shoemaker. I am more impressed today than I was 20 years ago. From the front desk to the OR, to Dr. Shoemaker himself, everyone puts the best interest of the patient first and makes sure that quality is always in the forefront. I would always recommend Dr. Shoemaker to all of my friends and family. Judy White Harris, RRN,MS read more

First off, my sight wasn't so bad, and Dr. Shoemaker suggested I wait. I did, a bit, but began noticing that my vision was correctable to 20/20. I returned, and Dr. Shoemaker and the staff helped me decide on cataract surgery. The procedures were handled very well, staff was EXTREMELY courteous, and the surgery was done with literally no or very little discomfort. I was nervous at the start, but very relaxed afterwards. There was no difficulty having the procedures and I would heartily recommend Center for Sight. Dick O. read more

The entire staff is well trained and highly professional. The surgery center is well equipped to deal with the many different procedures that occur there. I had cataract surgery and advanced lenses. All procedures were thoroughly and carefully explained. The waiting area is well designed and the staff takes the time to explain the procedure to the caregivers/partners of other, while allowing them to actually view the surgery.. Follow up exam is pretty extensive. I felt very well cared for. Strongly recommend this group. read more
