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.

Extremely knowledgeable! I left the office with no concerns!

Excellent doctor!!
I developed a retinal tear and was referred by my ophthalmologist the very same day to see Dr. Aaberg at Retina Specialists Cascade office. The entire experience was top-notch. Dr. Aaberg and his staff are very professional and yet very personable and thoughtful. Dr. Aaberg did a wonderful job both in explaining things and in performing the laser surgery on my eye. I would highly recommend him and his office!

I have been seeing Dr. Aaberg for a number of years now. He excels as a physician and diagnostician. He is conservative in his approach, which I value and truly appreciate. He has always taken as much time as I needed to explain complications and procedures. He truly is a compassionate partner with you in the care of your precious eyesight and is outstanding in his field.
