This is the best and most talented eye surgeon you could ever want! My husband had eye surgery with Dr Shane and I know another gal that had the same surgery with another doctor. My husband had to be face down for a week the other patient was not told to do that he had a full recovery the other patient with the other doctor is now blind in that eye. In addition she's married to another fabulous eye doctor who has been caring for my mother in Sarasota who is 97 with macular degeneration and... she's still able to drive her electric wheelchair! These two physicians in Sarasota County are top shelf Dr Anita Shane in Venice and Dr Shane in Sarasota they are in my opinion a blessing to our community and we are so lucky to have them! Rev.

Venice Retina is the place to go with any eye problems. The staff is friendly and very informative. Dr. Shane did a comprehensive checkup for my issues and she is very professional and explained things in detail. I did not feel rushed at all. I already recommended someone to this practice.

Being that I was on vacation in Florida from the northeast, I called Venice Retina, because I had a problem with my eye. They got me an appointment, as soon as, I called them. The professionalism shown by Dr. Anita Shane and staff would have me use them as my doctor, if I lived in Florida. I highly recommend Venice Retina.

Very efficient staff, including receptionist, technician and doctor. I was referred to another doctor after Venice Retina diagnosed cataracts in both eyes - they set up that appointment for me in minutes while I was in their office.

I'll highly recommend Dr. Shane! I am new to the area and initially liked Dr. Shane's experience at Rice University in bi-engineering in Houston, at Baylor Medical, and even more so her experience at Bascom Palmer Eye Institue in Miami. Her explanation of my eye conditions was very clear and undestandable. And she stayed to answer my several other questions, very helpful. Her staff was outstanding. Technical staff Emma and Hanna were both courteous and efficient in getting my preliminary... tests done. And the front desk staff were courteous and helpful. In general a great experience for me and my eyes! Thanks Venice Retina!read more

Due to a recent medical condition and relocatiing here from Boston I needed to connect with an opthamologist. My husband found Dr. Shane online. My experience was outstanding, from the entry staff to the technicians to the doctor herself. They took time and care and the doctor explained everything in detail. She has a wonderful caring way in how she addresses patients and puts them at ease.They have the latest technology and I cannot say enough about my experience, coming from Boston where... we have expert medical services this tops my past experiences!! I highly recommend Venice Retina and will continue to have my care at this location.read more
