Dr. Shulkin is amazing! He and his staff are professional and courteous but also
Friendly and personable, which is not the usual case with most surgeons. The appointments are prompt and accurate, I have never had to wait beyond my scheduled time to see the doctor. His craftsmanship and skill on my eyes has allowed me to feel pretty again! I am eternally grateful to him and would recommend him to everyone I know. And on a personal note, he is literally “ easy on the eyes!”

From. Y first appointment, Dr. Shulkin and his staff were extremely helpful, professional and comforting as I went through a difficult process . In addition to their excellent customer service, Dr. Shulkin’s skill as a surgeon is amazing. After having a quite large amount of cancerous tissue removed from the eyelid and corner of my right eye, there is virtually no scar, and as fas appearance goes, you cannot even tell that there was a procedure at all. I highly recommend Dr. Shulkin and his staff!

I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Shulkin and his staff. He was extremely thorough, kind and personable. His staff was just as nice and understanding. I had a small procedure done that I had never had done before and they were very kind to me.

This praise and thanks is long overdue. Spring, 2019 I was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma under my left eye. It was an “Oh, $#@&” moment because the tiny spot had been there for many years, missed by my former dematologist and other doctors. My dematologist recommended a Moh’s surgeon and a plastic surgeon (Dr. Zev Shulkin). I met both Doctors prior to the 4/29 Mohs surgery. No one seemed overtly panicked, the visibile diameter of the basal cell was the same as the top of a pencil eraser, maybe a little smaller. I had four Moh’s cuts which left me with a quarter sized hole under my left eye. The Moh’s surgeon was aloof and impersonal, I was just one in a line of people lined up and cut. I knew it was bad when the Moh’s surgeon said he needed to take a photo to send to the Dr. Shulkin immediately (as in, “this is much worse than we thought”). After the last cut, the surgeon did not return to say, “hey, we got clean margins, good luck...”. Nothing. An assistant came in and caulderized the hole on my face and told me I could go. I asked to see the hole with a mirror. The second, “oh, $#@%” moment. At this point I was scared witless, this was far more invasive and involved. I was to go to Dr. Shulkin’s office the afternoon following Moh’s surgery and was scheduled for surgery the following morning at Medical Cities.

When I arrived at Dr. Shulkin‘s office, I was barely holding it together. The first thing I remember was Dr. Shulkin and his staff radiating compassion. They asked me how I was, what happened? At that moment, I just released everything, my fear, my sadness and cried. It was such a human gesture to ask, how are you? When you are going through something unexpectedly traumatic, you just are looking for someone to tell you it is going to be okay. They did.

The following day, before surgery, Dr. Shulkin met with me and my husband and explained the issues with fixing the hole under my eye.

Following surgery, Dr. Shulkin was upbeat. He gave me his telephone number and told me to call anytime, he meant it. Dr. Shulkin called me at home to check up on me. I have had two post-op visits. The plastic surgery was nothing short of remarkable. The tricky part of my surgery is to move enough skin to cover the hole, but not have the “moved skin” in anyway tug on your eye or distort you facial expression.

There you have my experience. My plastic surgery was a complete success. I would like to underscore Dr. Shulkin and his staff’s kindness and compassion, it is the difference between a skilled surgeon and a great surgeon and a decent person. Dr. Shulkin is a doctor who treated me as person with kindness and a patient with skill. Every Doctor and other person who are familiar with the scope of my Moh’s surgery, when they see my face now, say, “you had a great plastic surgeon.” I did. Thank you.

After having cataract surgery everything was fine for about ten days, then I had double vision & kept hoping my eyes would straighten up but this continued for months & was referred to Dr. Shulkin and that was an answer to my prayers. The nicest, smartest & most considerate opthalmologist I've ever met. He said he could fix my eyes & that he WOULD fix them, and he did. I'll forever be grateful for him and his staff is the nicest & friendliest you'd ever hope to meet. Thank you for giving me my life back & I hope anyone who reads the reviews will consider Dr. Shulkin for any eye treatment.

I had double vision whenever I looked up and to the left. It developed when I was 41 years old. I waited for it to go away, but it never did. Dr. Shulkin was able to weaken my inferior oblique muscle and now the double vision is gone. Thank you so much!

Looking for the perfect doctor to do your eyelid lift? Dr. Zev is your doctor. The takes the time to explain everything and patient with answering as many questions and concerns as a patient might have. Surgery was easy and recovery was made easier with all the important information and paperwork to help in recovery. Love the long lasting effects of the perfect eyelid lift. Thank you.

Always on time; no waiting in the reception area. Dr. Shulkin is terrific. I can see so much better after the operation on my upper eye lid. I highly recommend him.
