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.

A History of Quality and Caring Eye Care
My husband and I have seen Dr. Arey for years and have been very impressed with his knowledge, professional attitude and skill as an eye surgeon. He has performed cataract surgery on us both with good results. His office staff is efficient, pleasant and helpful. We highly recommend this physician.

Excellent Care in Professional & Friendly Setting
I found Dr. Arey in an effort to access more skilled eye care with a higher-level of service where I'd be treated with greater respect. My new patient visit certainly delivered on these goals and was far beyond expectations. The staff were friendly, professional and never rushed my visit. They and Dr. Arey took the time to understand my vision history in depth, discuss all my concerns, and make sure I was comfortable with changes to my prescriptions. Dr. Arey was meticulous in reviewing all my eye conditions and helping me understand what we needed to monitor moving forward. This was the best and most comprehensive vision exam I've ever experienced. I would highly recommend Dr. Arey and his team.

Thrilled with Dr Arey
After a bad experience with my first cataract surgery (previous doctor), I waited nearly a year to seek out a new doctor. A friend recommended Dr. Arey. On the first visit Dr. Arey made me feel confident In his care. I was impressed with the extra time he took to throughly understand and explain my prior experience. He took the time to research my reaction to the previous lens and calculated the best option. Post surgery I had no discomfort or complications and 20/20 vision. Wish I found Dr. Arey earlier!

I had a wonderful all around experience with Dr. Arey. He is so professional and yet caring in his approach and takes his time in answering one's questions. I felt secure and cared for by his staff as I was in the pre-op area waiting for my surgery. My surgery was done flawlessly. All his staff could not be more helpful. I believed the reviews and I was not disappointed.

Outstanding Ophthalmologist
Dr. Arey exhibited great tenacity in healing my husband's stubborn eye infection. Most appreciated was his arranging to meet my husband in an ER on a Thanksgiving morning in order to supply a necessary compounding prescription. Dr. Arey is my ophthalmologist as well and he is thorough and caring and identifies issues other providers miss. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Arey is AWESOME
Dr. Arey was one of my Mother’s favorite specialist Doctor. His caring nature showed through so brightly when I received an unexpected sympathy card from him after she passed. He’s the only Doctor I know that would take the time to write a message of sympathy and mail. He’s also shown to be an excellent doctor in his specialty . He helped her with some cloudiness on her cataracts on her last visit to him. I recommend Dr. Arey very highly to anyone needing outstanding medical care. Thank you Dr. Arey for being the kindest Doctor in the world ! Kelli P. For Alta C.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr Arey for many years and would not ever consider going anywhere else. Dr Arey is very caring, patient and attentive. He monitors my glaucoma very closely and most recently did very successful cataract surgery on my husband. He always makes time to see me if I have a concern. Office staff is very efficient, kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Arey.
