Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I found Dr. Shein after becoming extremely dissatisfied with another doctor in Lihue who refused to take time to answer my questions regarding my eye surgery. Lucky break for me! Dr. Shein is a compassionate doctor who listens and takes time to reassure her patients. My surgery went so well I was amazed! Mahalo Dr. Shein. I am so happy with my vision and your wonderful care.

If we could give Dr. Shein a 10 Star, we would, she is an excellent surgeon and cares about her patients. Our cataract surgery went very well, it was a very positive experience. The staff at the Eye Care Center were welcoming and efficient. Several friends also see Dr. Shein, and all of them say the same thing, she"s the BEST!

I never want to go to anyone else. Knows her stuff but gives off such a 'nurturing' impression that you trust her with something as delicate as your eye.
