"Over the years, people have asked me my secret for creating beautiful results. The answer is simple. I listen to all your desires and expectations and take the time to answer all your questions. I help people correct the subtle details Mother Nature didn't provide or that time has taken away. But the best part about my job is seeing the positive effects facial cosmetic surgery can have upon a person's life. It's this type of human contact that keeps me practicing."

Justo, M.D., is featured as a national expert on customized cataract surgery in this indepth article that will answer any question you've ever had about cataract surgery. Check it out and share it!

Experience You Can Rely On 
Dr. Shifrin brings more than a decade of valuable experience to the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center. He cares for a wide range of patients and needs, and has played a vital role in providing pre- and post-operative care for patients following refractive or cataract procedures. He co-manages cases with Medical Director, Emilio M. Justo, M.D. It is Dr. Shifrin's priority to surround every patient with the best possible care at every step.

"Treat your patients the way you want to be treated."
That simple suggestion from Dr. Shifrin's mentors resonated and has become a part of his daily practice. "To me, the meaning of that phrase goes far beyond a successful diagnosis and treatment. It encompasses the clinician's ability to listen, relate and understand your patients' needs and address them accordingly. Being in practice for more than a decade, I continuously strive to create a team oriented approach to my patients' ophthalmic needs. It begins with a comprehensive examination and listening to my patients' concerns. I aim for my patients to clearly  understand their condition prior to leaving my office. I firmly believe that a trusting relationship is a cornerstone to a successful doctor-patient team."

Learning Is A Never-Ending Process
I was privileged to be trained with some of the finest educators and clinicians over the course of my career. Although I feel that I received an excellent and unique education, I continuously strive to further my knowledge base in order to keep up with the latest developments in these ever-evolving fields of ophthalmology and optometry. Being one of the first Board Certified Optometrists in the state of Arizona allows me not only to maintain my current knowledge base but also to stay informed on new developments in the ophthalmic field. I continually meet and exceed the required limits for continuing education and feel that education is the foundation of any successful physician.

It’s All About You
"I am proud to bring a wealth of experience, from serving patients in large to mid-sized hospitals, medical clinics and even in remote overseas medical facilities and submarines, here to the Arizona Eye Institute. The most important thing I have learned in my more than two decades as a clinical optometrist is that while we all have similar anatomical and physiological features, we each have our own unique vision demands and health needs that require individual attention."

Wealth of Experience in Care
Over the years, it has always been my goal to partner education with customized care of each individual, and my experience has given me a wealth of knowledge to treat any vision condition I come across. I spearheaded many programs including the development of the Navy Medicine’s Occupational Therapy vision rehab program. I have provided special and advanced optometrice valuations to diagnose and provide expert consultation to treat everything from routine vision issues, to those involving traumatic brain injury, stroke and even complex neuro-optometry cases.

Proud to be a Veteran
​
One of my proudest achievements has been service to this nation, and earning the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. It has given me a great passion to provide quality care to our nation’s armed forces, and to provide specialty services to our wounded warriors who deserve our commitment to their quality of life. I am the proud founder of the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) / Vision Center of Excellence for the Hospital’s Wounded Warrior Program and have helped develop proper vision care for our brave warriors.
