Retina Care Consultants
3906 S Tamiami Trail,
Sarasota, FL

We went to another retina specialist and found Dr. Shane’s office to be so much more professional, in every way! The wait time was minimal, the staff was very clean and knowledgeable, and experience, for my mother was excellent… I would highly recommend this retina office over some of the other ones in Sarasota

I stumbled upon Dr. Shane's office via Google search. I was looking for a 3rd opinion on a retinal issue I was uncertain about. The doctor that gave a 2nd opinion (which was suggested by another doctor that gave my 1st opinion due to uncertainty) recommended outpatient surgery which I wasn't too keen on carrying out because my eyesight was perfect (no corrective lenses) and I am not symptomatic. Reading about Dr. Shane, I learned of his residency at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and decided that he will be my best bet on making a well informed decision. I contacted the practice, explained the situation, and was told that Dr. Shane would like to see me as soon as possible. The practice is superb. It has a professional and friendly atmosphere. The staff I interacted with were all wonderful. Examination was prompt and carried out with a delicate touch. I received an opinion not only from Dr. Shane, but from an assisting opthalmologist/retinal specialist as well. The result of their inspection brought me great relief as surgery was not recommended due to it being unnecessary in my case at this point in time. Direct, clear and concise language was used to explain: the situation, what I need to watch out for, and options I can choose to implement now or later down the road at my own discretion which allowed me to feel in control. In the end, Dr.Shane is there if and when I need him which is comforting. I am grateful for discovering Dr. Shane and his practice. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his staff for anyone plagued with any anxiety spawned from uncertainty.

I appreciate that this practice saw me even though I was not their patient. I was turned away by others. I am an out-of-state visitor on vacation and was experiencing a potential retina emergency. I called on a Saturday and their answering service got me in touch with them and they made me an appointment first thing Monday morning. I appreciate that they set my mind at ease in case I did need an emergency procedure done.
