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.

Dr. Rudd and his office are the best
Recently had Lasik at Aurora Lasik. They were the best. The staff were great, super helpful, able to answer any question. Customer service was a 10 out of 10. The. procedure was super easy and fast. I was able to see better before I left the office. I’d recommend them to anyone.

No Regrets, Just Do it!
I am very pleased with the service and care I received from Dr. Rudd and his staff. They were all kind and very thorough. I felt comfortable preparing for Lasik surgery and all through the surgery Dr. Rudd spoke to me to keep me calm and aware of what was happening, which relaxed me further. I would highly recommend their services.

I went to a consultation at another place that wasn't a good fit and it seemed like they were just pushing patients out the door. I wanted a second opinion and couldn't be happier to have found Aurora Lasik. They are extremely welcoming and personable making your patient experience incredible from start to end, following their motto to a T. There is little to no wait time ever, Dr. Triebold and Dr.Rudd are always ready for you, always happy to see you, and guides you through the process informing you of each step along the way and making you feel the utmost comfortable. I couldn't have had a better experience, especially with such a big life change for me. The procedure went just as expected, as I said they walk you through everything leaving no doubt in your mind and are right there to support you doing the healing process. I highly recommend Aurora LAISK for any eye care need that they are able to do, their facility is also always clean and very aesthetic.

This is an amazing place to have your LASIK done. The initial consultation was very informative. They answered all my questions and gave lots of information. The day of surgery I was nervous but they put me at ease. My vision is great and recovery is going well. I don’t regret anything at all and I’m so happy that I decided to do my surgery at Aurora LASIK.

I cannot say enough good things about Aurora Lasik. I've been terrified to get Lasik for YEARS but finally decided to take the plunge this year. From my first consult to my post-op appointments, I always felt extremely cared for and safe. All the staff members are so kind and truly cared about making you feel comfortable. I'm so glad I was able to interact with several different people. Dr. Rudd, Nicole, Chanteria, Krystle, Melissa, Emily... if I forgot anyone, my apologies. You all were amazing! I went from having HORRIBLE vision and astigmatism to being able to see 20/20 with 24 hours. THANK YOU!

I had a unique situation with my eyes and I am very pleased on how they turned out. The process was a lot easier than I imagined. They did a great job making me feel comfortable during the process. I’m a person that doesn’t do well with anything around my eyes and they found a way for me to feel relaxed and have a successful surgery. Thank you Dr. Rudd and your amazing staff! I also wanted to thank Dr. Tosland for referring me to such a great team to help me see without my glasses!

Dr.Rudd and his entire team are amazing and professional. They go above and beyond to make sure your questions are answered and you are completely at ease. I am 60 years old and had Refractive Lens Exchange with results being better vision than I have had my entire life. With my Multi Focal Lenses I have close AND far vision 20/15. What a great service to provide for people. Highly recommend Dr. Rudd!! Bob Howitz

From the time of googling eye surgery clinics in the area Aurora came into view as the clear choice. The consultation was free and easy. Prices were competitive even with the bigger clinics in Seattle which made the choice even easier.Staff was very friendly and customer service was definitely a number 1 priority. Dr Rudd’s has been very professional and courteous throughout the entire process. Couldn’t be happier with the results after only a week. Thank you Aurora Lasik

Dr. Ruddreplaced my lense in my right eye with a Kamra lense. Based on my age and vision I was trying to achieve the ability to read without glasses. It took some time to get it right as it was a new technology. He was very patient with me and I with him to get it right. We did and now I am 65 and reading without glasses. Thank you Dr. Rudd
