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.

Thank you!
I believe Dr. Aker was my section leader at my Army unit in 1970.He spoke of finishing his military commitment & then attending med school studying dentistry. I was a HS dropout & he insisted I get my GED before my discharge later that year. Sir, I did get my GED. I also used my GI benefits to get my Bachelors & MBA after my discharge. Hoped one day, I could say. 'Thank you'!SGT Robert M.ike Hakes1st Battalion 68th Armor NCOIC, Battalion comm center.

This practice is nothing like it use to be!!! Stay far away from here. This practice does not care about the health of your eye, only wants your money and does nothing for your eyes. BEWARE!!!

My entire experience at Aker Kasten was outstanding. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Dr. Aker was better that I could have ever hoped for. Most importantly, I am thrilled with my result! Thank you!

Run don't walk away from this clinic.. Accidentally put white out in my eyes one morning when reaching for my eye drops. Called them immediately to be seen and they said wouldn't.because I had a $39 bill that had they had been mailing to an incorrect address.. their mistake..and never tried to reach me by phone. I've been a patient there for over 3 years. They were more concerned about the $39 then me perhaps going bblin! Went next day paid bill still wouldn't see me gave referral. Awful
