:) Click to report rating    7/2/09 5 5 5 Dr. Wallshein is one probably one of the most outstanding physicians I have had the privilege of dealing with. He was comforting and reassuring to me during my procedure, which he explained thoroughly before it happened. His bedside manner is excellent and I feel he is outstanding as a doctor in every way.

:) Click to report rating    4/22/09 5 5 5 I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Wallshein after being examined by his well trained staff. The exam was the most thorough I've had and all the staff are friendly and helpful. There wasn't anything bad to say at all. The office is beautiful and clean. Making the appointment was simple. I was a glaucoma suspect for years. Dr. Wallshein felt that I might have a vitamin deficiency which turned out to be true. My vitamin B12 was horribly low. I felt so much better after being treated. I also had high levels of mercury which was addressed. Nobody in ten years thought to even check this out. I sent the rest of my family there. We are all pleased.

:) Click to report rating    6/23/08 5 5 5 I went to Dr. Wallshein after taking my Mom for cataract surgery. He did an AMAZING job with my Mom's surgery, Dr. Wallsein and his staff did an even MORE AMAZING job fitting me with SYNERGEYES contact lens for Kerataconus. My eye doctor told me there was nothing he could do to improve my vision. Dr. Wallshein proved him wrong!!! I have never seen so well!!! Thank you Dr. Wallshein and Donna. I look at life a whole new way now, and thank you both every day for my amazing eyesight. Nancy Brennan

:) Click to report rating    4/8/08 5 5 5 Dr. Wallshein performed cataract surgery on my only eye. 2 other doctors refused to perform it due to the complexity. He had a team approach and everyone went well. I'm 20/20 in my one eye. I love Dr. Wallshein. He's truly great.

:) Click to report rating    10/7/07 5 5 5 Once I started to lose my vision and needed glasses Dr. Wallshein was highly recommended by a friend and I would now recommend him to anybody. He was very thorough and explained everything very well. I love having a doctor that takes their time with you and is not trying to rush out of the office 2 minutes after they see you. Great person and great doctor.

:) Click to report rating    11/21/06 5 5 Knowing that you need surgery is scary especially when it comes to your eyes. I was very concerned because my first eye that another doctor performed ended up in some complications. One of my friends recommended Dr. Wallshein for cataract surgery and so I went to him. He's quite young but makes up for it in skill, mannerisms and personality. I had my second eye done by Dr. Wallshein and my vision has surpassed my expectations. I was completely comfortable throughout the whole surgery. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to be introduced. Unfortunately, the doctor is no longer taking my insurance, but I plan to see him anyways. The optical shop and optician are great. The staff really care. He has my vote of confidence.

:) Click to report rating    11/15/06 5 5 Being in the medical field I have experienced many different staff, office managers and doctors over the years. Dr Wallshein was referred to me by a friend and is an excellent doctor. Even though his practice is extremely busy , the outstanding staff he has makes your visit more enjoyable. Dr W is the first doctor to find me contacts that I truly enjoy wearing. With top of the line equipment and great knowledge , he is extremely thorough and to the point. Just being there you can tell how much his staff and patients appreciate him and now I know why. I highly recomend him to anyone who is looking for a great physician.

:) Click to report rating    11/15/06 5 5 My internal medicine suspected a serious problem and requested an appointment with Dr. Wallshein that day. Dr. Wallshein made himself available. He agreed and was concerned about my health, admitting me to the hospital for further testing which was confirming his suspicions. I needed an emergent surgery which Dr. Wallshein personally performed and it proved that I had the condition. I started reading on the internet that delay could cause serious vision loss, stroke, and many other adverse conditions which would change my life forever. Basically, he saved my life. I've referred him most of my family that's down here in Florida and they've all been very happy with him.

:) Click to report rating    11/10/06 5 5 My vision was getting progressively worse from my cataracts and I realized I needed an exam. I had seen Dr. Wallshein that diagnosed a cataract. He performed surgery using only drops for anesthesia. The surgery was completely comfortable and finished in just several minutes. He was completely professional in the operating room and has a great mannerism with all the staff. Being awake the whole time, I knew exactly what was going on and Dr. Wallshein gave me complete confidence that things were going to go well. It seemed too smooth...I can see 20/20 again and I feel my life is back to normal. I know my other cataract is developing and when it comes time, I'm going to have Dr. Wallshein perform the surgery. I know I'm in good hands!

:) Click to report rating    11/5/06 5 5 Being able to see well is very important to me. Before I went to Dr. Wallshein, I never had comfortable feeling eyes. I knew they were there and they hurt after reading for a short period of time. I was diagnosed with Dry Eye Syndrome and a misalignment of the eyes. Dr. Wallshein gave me treatments that the 3 other doctors I went to did not. This was the first time I was helped significantly. I also learned that my eyes were not in perfect alignment and that after being made special glasses with prism I finally had the relief I was looking for. I can't believe this is the first time in 10 years that I've felt comfortable with my eyes. His staff, optician and techicians are excellent and I can see they are very happy there. That's always a great sign. I've seen him several times and he's always been on time. Thank you Dr. Wallshein!

:) Click to report rating    10/28/06 5 5 I've been bumped from doctor to doctor with my insurance company and finally I meet a doctor that listens to my medical problems, takes the time to explain thoroughly, and is very knowledgable. He operated on my cataracts with the greatest success. I'm 20/20 in both eyes and I've never been so happy. Dr. Wallshein is a blessing to palm beach county. I'm sorry to see him leave the insurance plan. He will be missed by me and my family greatly.

:) Click to report rating    10/4/06 5 5 I was referred by my family physician. When I called I spoke to very friendly and help staff which is exactly what I met when I first arrived. There is one person just for check in that knows what she's doing. The technicians are the best I've ever met and I've been to atleast 5 others in the area. Dr. Wallshein runs ontime and is superb, but he's very busy. There are always 10 or more people in the waiting room. Despite that he spends all the time I needed each time. He doesn't rush you out the door. His treatment was on the mark--all the other's in the area couldn't figure it out. I'm impressed!
