Oh, and of course, it doesn't hurt that his office is so high-tech!  I love the ipads at check-in.  In short, Dr. Vaidya is by far the best opthamologist out there (and I have been to many!).  Definitely check out his practice.  You won't regret it! read less

When i finally became disgusted and decided to jump off the assembly line of care I was receiving, I found Dr. Vaidya.  What a difference in terms of treatment and respect.  Get off the assembly line and schedule an appointment.  You will be pleased.

His office is very high tech - he uses ipads at check in!

He takes his time with everyone and genuinely is concerned about their well-being.

If you would like a boutique-style experience that few can match, make sure you stop by Dr. Vaidya's ophthalmology/retina practice. read less

Dr Vaidya did a comprehensive exam and determined that I was very low risk, which provided a peace of mind. He is a great doctor who is informative and thorough in is explanations.

They were very responsive during scheduling and questions. read less

First class experience.

Friendly staff. Complete and thorough examination. Very nice doctor.

Dr Vaidya is outstanding.  I have a problem missed by another physician that he is successful treating.  Totally comfortable with him. Retna problem, he is the doctor to see.
