Unprofessional, dismissive, and zero aftercare. Left with permanent damage. I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Dr. Aaker. After dealing with a persistent eye issue, I was rushed into an invasive surgery with him. He spent almost no time with me before or after the procedure, treating me like an assembly-line inconvenience rather than a patient. Worse yet, he completely failed to provide basic aftercare instructions or ensure I had a follow-up appointment scheduled to check on my healing. When the surgery failed and the exact same issue returned a year later, his attitude was entirely unprofessional and dismissive. Instead of investigating why his procedure didn't work, he seemed openly annoyed that I had to return for the same problem, showing a complete lack of accountability and treating my recurring symptoms as if they were my fault. He then proceeded to perform the exact same surgery a second time, which ultimately left my eye even more damaged. Because of his rushed care and complete lack of proper post-operative tracking, I am now left with permanent scar tissue damage and chronic inflammation in my eyelid that I am having to see a different specialist to correct. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for a surgeon who provides standard medical aftercare, stands by their work, and treats patients with basic respect.

Response from the ownerThank you for the great review, Cheryll!Dr Aaker and his most professional team gave me vision I have never known in my life! The surgical team accommodated my needs for added immune protection with non-judgmental careful attention to detail and managed my surgery with efficiency in a comforting manner.
