Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I've been going to Dr. Aaby since I was a kid. I have a severe astigmatism and I need prism for my lenses. He gets it on the dot every time. For people without difficult eyes getting glasses isn't a problem.. For me, it's very complicated... I didn't know how complicated it was til I couldn't afford the cost of going to him and the glasses... Down on my luck I tried other places.. They proceeded to screw up my glasses many times. If you have a difficult prescription I recommend staying with Dr. Aaby.. He will definitely get it right for you.

Referred by our Peditrican (who is exceptional) for an evaluation. My son has a known medical problem with his eyes. Dr. Aaby was unprofessional, dismissive, and did not explain his exam results, other than providing a stronger prescription. I still dont know what my sons vision is, which we need for his IEP. HORRIBLE experience. we will never go there again. (the office staff was great, Dr. Abby should take note and learn from them)

Very caring. Extremely knowledgeable, he explained everything both before and after. He called the day of surgery to make sure everything was okay.

Would not recommend. My child went undiagnosed with an eye condition any layman could spot. It was a traumatic first appointment and we felt like he was just annoyed with my child crying and rushed us out the door insisting nothing was wrong. Gave him a 2nd chance and went back again and still he said it was nothing abnormal. Ended up going elsewhere and we got a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
