SHEPHERD EYE CENTER Shepherd Eye Center proudly celebrates 50 years of serving the communities of Las Vegas and Henderson. What Dr. John Shepherd started as a solo clinic a half century ago in 1968 has grown to become the largest ophthalmic practice in Nevada, with 16 doctors, 4 offices, and more than 170 employees. From the very beginning, Dr. Shepherd pioneered new techniques and instrumentation that would improve the way cataract surgery was performed. Today Shepherd Eye Center remains at the forefront of technological advancement, providing care using the latest medical techniques and industry developments. The doctors of Shepherd Eye Center have the talent and experience to care for patients of all ages, from children to seniors. Services include routine eye exams as well as the treatment of eye diseases and surgical options for conditions including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, muscle imbalance, cataracts and corneal conditions. Specialists trained in pediatric ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery, and refractive surgery round out
the comprehensive ophthalmology team at Shepherd Eye Center. Whether it’s the front desk staff or the employees assisting the doctors, every member of the Shepherd Eye Center team is given opportunities to gain certifications that help provide the highest level of care for our patients, including Certified Patient Service Specialist, Certified Ophthalmic Technicians, and Certified Ophthalmic Assistants. Each office has an optical shop stocked with glasses and is staffed with experienced opticians and a contact lens specialist ready to help patients find the perfect pair. The Shepherd Eye Surgicenter consists of two operating rooms and performs more cataract surgeries than any other eye practice in the state of Nevada. The surgery center is staffed with highly qualified registered nurses, scrub techs and support staff—and is state-licensed, Medicare-approved, and accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. “We are lucky to have had a leader like Dr. Shepherd set the tone for the practice when it began,” says Steven O. Hansen, MD, FACS, and president of Shepherd Eye Center. “By keeping his vision of always putting the patient first, we have been able to embrace the challenges and opportunities that have presented themselves over the last 50 years and provide compassionate eye care for the whole family.”
