My wife works for Dr. Vaidya several days a week and she has had nothing but good things to say about him. As a husband...it is absolutely essential to me that my wife is treated well. She was not treated well at her previous employer so the last few years with Dr. Vaidya have been a huge blessing. Having my wife come home tired but happy is a HUGE & welcomed change from her old job, where she would often be emotionally distraught & completely exhausted. Dr. Vaidya treats her with respect and kindness like a valued part of the team. It means the world to me because good men, like Dr. Vaidya, who are exceptional at their work and treat people well... are hard to find nowadays.

- All I can say is that Dr. Vaidya is the best. I had been dealing with an eye condition for several months and had gone to many eye doctors who couldn't diagnose me properly and were providing me with temporary solutions for my problem. Dr. Vaidya, on the the other hand, was a lifesaver. He patiently and thoroughly assessed my history, took the time to explain the problem, and was able to provide my eyes the treatment they so desperately needed! Dr. Vaidya has an easy manner with his patients. I tend to get very anxious around medical procedures, but Dr. Vaidya was able to help me relax with his calm voice and easygoing demeanor.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 moreread lessSadia C.11/20/2013
