Reviews

"Dr Wallshein has always explained very thoroughly any examination. He walked me through a melanoma removal procedure 10 years ago, performed the plastic surgery after the extraction of a temple melanoma by an excellent surgeon he recommended, discovered a mole on my optic nerve and has done cataract surgery on my husband. I would go to no one else. During my last visit the assistant that worked with me said he was the best doctor she has ever worked for. If you find him a bit distant, or have to wait a long time, just remember he sees a lot of patients and he is 100% worth your time and your eyes! He and the office staff are there for you."
