I will absolutely recommend Dr.Shimmel. He is an excellent specialist and human being. I am an ER nurse, always on the run. When I was 30th years old, I lost my vision on my right eye. It happened when I was working. I was scared I was going to be blind for the rest of my life. I thought I was going to loose everything I had…my career, my job, my new house. I really felt hopeless. However, Dr. Shimmel was able to reassure me that everything was going to be fine. That I was going to have my vision back. He cares about the well being of his patients. He explained the whole procedure very calmly and answered all my questions. The surgery was a success, It’s been almost 10 yrs, and he still great. Thanks to Dr. Shimmel I got my life back.

Great, thorough and wonderful physician. My mother had retinal issues and we were very worried. He calmed all our fears and helped her vision. I can't thank him enough!
