"The entire appointment in the ophthalmology department was outstanding!"
- WebMD (Dr. Cole Swiston)"She is now 18 years old. Dr. Shuey performed five corrections over the years. I don't know what to say- We love him! He is not only a skilled surgeon, but he is just a plain humble and nice guy."
- Vitals (Dr. Thomas Shuey)"It's hard to review this doctor since his assistant is actually the one who does the exam... even when the patient communicates the visual is not clear. He comes in and signs off on it."
