Dr. Shaaf is excellent. Have had two cataract surgeries and both went well. He explained what would be done very clearly and answered all my questions. The office staff is outstanding. Very professional and caring. Shaaf Eye Center, Apr-2025, WebMD

The Doctor is simply AWESOME! I have been seeing him since he did my cataract surgery and it’s been nothing less than FANTASTIC!!!!! Shaaf Eye Center, Apr-2025, Google

I have been a patient of Dr. Shaaf’s for many years. He did my cataract surgery several years ago and a post surgery laser procedure. I see him for yearly eye check-ups and feel very confident in the care he gives my eyes. His staff is very professional too. Shaaf Eye Center, Apr-2025, WebMD

Dr. Prendiville recently performed cataract surgery for me. I went to him because he was the only doctor in the Valley to use Light Adjustable Lens, and I really didn’t want to drive to LA. (He did have a 4.9 rating on Google with a lot of reviews, so I felt pretty comfortable going to him). We discussed options and he explained everything in a way I could understand. I left with printouts and he sent me videos about the procedure. He is conservative and calculated in his approach. For instance, I wanted an adjustment sooner and he explained why we should wait. At every turn, he asks me what my goals for sight are. He asks me lots of questions and he patiently answers all of mine! I couldn’t be happier with a treatment provider! Thank you Dr Prendiville. Shaaf Eye Center, Mar-2025, Google

I am seeing everything in HD mode after my cataract surgery in both eyes! One was really bad, the other eye was of minor improvement, but extremely happy getting me back to 20/30 in each eye! Shaaf Eye Center, Feb-2025, Vitals
