I highly recommend Venice Retina. Dr. Anita Shane, MD is Wonderful. I have been going since 2025. My yearly follow-up visit was in September of 2026 I was seen by Gabriel Dib, NP who was great. Both explain everything very well after all testing is complete, very thorough. The front desk staff is very nice and professional. The technicians who administer the tests that need to be completed are very nice and professional.

Dr. Shane impressed me with her ability to explain throughly and simply my issue so that I could understand. The simple treatment is working. She spent enough time to answer my questions. Everyone in the office seemed very professional, kind, and knowledgeable.
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! 04.13.26 Had my annual review today and Dr. Share and staff again did an outstanind job.. Sami the vision tech did a good job on my pre-exam preparation and Visual Field Test. Dr. Anita found a couple of items that needed review and referred me to a specialist for that next step. I apprecoiate all her effort in working to have me see the best possible. Thank you all at Venice Retina!
