Dr. Vaidya and his staff are AMAZING. I called them on a Friday before a holiday weekend and they immediately assured me they would work me in.
Once there, Dr. Vaidya took his time explaining what he believe the issue w/my eye is, however even told me he wanted to consult with a specialist before providing treatment. He took the time to contact the specialist and while she was not able to get me in that day, he gave her my info and told me to call her on that following Tuesday and she would work me in. Since I was leaving his office still unsure of next steps, he was very reassuring that things would be ok and that everything would get figured out.
I find it refreshing that a doctor would take so much time and care with a first time patient. As well as to admit he wanted someone else to look at it to ensure no further inaccurate prognosis.
My experience was exceptional and look forward to working further with him.He is the best of the best as is his staff. read less

It's been a while, where I left the doctors office feeling not rushed. Dr. Valdya is on top of it and my laser surgery was scheduled. His office staff is very friendly. I can't say much more. What else can you ask for? read less

Excellent Doctor and high tech office. The Doctor was thorough and explained things clearly.

Dr. Valdya is caring, thorough and very informative!  Will recommend to my friends, patients and family.

I was having an issue over a holiday week-end, left a message and received a call directly from the doctor. He put me at ease and made room in the schedule for an appointment on the next working day.

He apologized that he was out of town and unable to see me immediately. He gave me a referral to an ER Doc in the event my condition worsened or my concern increased.

I am very impressed by his attentive caring, clear explanations and an encouraging set of next steps. Great "bedside" manner.

Highly recommended. read less

Everything was on time! I feel that doctor really cares about patients. Nice receptionists. Deffenetly will recommend this clinic if someone from my friends need to see retina specialist!!!

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.

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

Great practice with compassionate care and understanding.
The doctor spent time with me and explained everything to me.

First class experience.
Friendly staff. Complete and thorough examination. Very nice doctor.

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

He patiently listened to my concerns (including the ones I had with my previous doctor) and devised a plan that worked for me the first time. I had terrible allergies but his expertise extends beyond that (something about macula care?). Ask him questions, he'll answer them. Present your concerns, he'll listen and understand them

Bonus: high-end check-in service and the ability to set up appointments online. All digital = Me like! read less
