Shafer Vision Institute - Brian M. Shafer, MD | Cataract and LASIK Philadelphia

"Dr. Shafer and his staff were just amazing. I have never felt so at ease from my initial consultation through my surgery. He thoroughly explained every step in my cataract surgery and sent me a series of videos of what to expect from pre-op to post-op. The results of my surgery were just amazing. It’s like someone turned the lights on. I couldn’t be more thankful. I would recommend Dr. Shafer to all of my friends and family."

"This was my first visit to this specialist. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful starting at the front desk. Even the emails I got prior for instructions. Dr. Shafer is a very good listener. And he was able to explain my situation very clearly. I really felt like I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend this office."

"My cataract surgery with Dr. Brian Shafer was a symphony of care and expertise! From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. He is not just a surgeon, he is a patient educator, meticulously explaining every step of the procedure, risks included. No question was too small. His breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm made for a lively exchange. Dr. Shafer truly listened, ensuring I felt informed and empowered every step of the way. The surgery itself was a blur (in the best possible way!). With skill and precision, Dr. Shafer restored the world to vibrant focus. But the magic didn't stop there. His post-operative care was equally exceptional, with prompt follow-ups, clear instructions, and a genuine interest in my recovery. It's not just about seeing clearly again, though that is a miracle. Dr. Shafer's dedication, empathy, and unwavering commitment to my well-being made this entire experience a testament to the highest standards of medical care, and a sincere pleasure. If you are facing cataract surgery, look no further than Dr. Brian Shafer. He's not just a surgeon, he's an artist. Five stars, hands down (6 if it were possible)! Bonus points: His team is fantastic too! From the friendly front desk staff to the knowledgeable and efficient medical staff, every interaction was positive and supportive. It truly felt like a team effort, putting my needs at the center of everything."

"Dr. Shafer and his staff are truly peerless in every respect!! Excellent care, always cheerfully available. The moment I stepped into his office I knew this was going to be a great experience. I had cataract surgery and stent for glaucoma in both eyes. Dr. Shafer did a beautiful job. A truly miraculous experience to suddenly have my young eyes return to my not very young self. Thank you Dr. Shafer! Thank you Megan and Liz. I have come to think of you as family."
