Found Dr. Van Aldred to be very straightforward and professional. Although I was afraid I was developing macular degeneration, he reassured me that my vision problem was due to past cataraact surgery and that I will need YAG surgery.
Dr. Aldred did a very thorough direct examination of my eyes. I left feeling so relieved.
Some things to keep in mind about Dr. Aldred: He is a retina and vitreous specialist. If you have a retina tear, which can lead to a detached retina, you need emergency care. If you have a detached retina, you need extremely fast emergency care.
Should you have to languish in the waiting room or if Dr. Aldred exits the exam room suddenly, he is most likely going to help save someone's vision.
I had a retinal tear repaired about 12 years ago and still have good vision, thanks to emergency laser treatment.
Dr. Aldred wears operating scrubs, so he is at the ready. He is able to see patients for general eye concerns, I think his main focus has to be saving people's sight if they come in with retinal tears or detached retinas.
