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.

My experience with Dr. Jaben from start to finish was exceptional. His entire staff is friendly, polite as well as professional ensuring the needs of his patient always come first. My cataract surgery was flawless and pain free & trust me I was so neurotic prior to the operation everyone around me including Dr. Jaben put me completely at ease for which I'll be forever grateful. He is top notch at what he does and I firmly believe you can put your entire trust in him. I had a tremendous experience.

I highly recommend Dr. Jaben for Cataract surgery. He did both my eyes a couple years ago and I’ve had no problems. Very impressed with him and his staff.

Deciding to undergo an elective procedure where you will have holes lasered into your eyes as well as lenses implanted is no small decision. It will not only be expensive, but you'll absolutely want a doctor you can trust. Dr. Scott Jaben is exactly that doctor. I visited Dr. Jaben to explore my options for vision correction. Dr. Jaben let me know that I wasn't a good candidate for LASIK because of my extreme nearsightedness. However, he did present Toric ICL as an option. That procedure involves implanting permanent contact lenses in your eyes. While the procedure can sound a bit scary, Dr. Jaben and his assistant Karon were able to clearly and easily describe the entire process, answer all my questions, and make me feel at ease about moving forward with the process. From the consultation, to the iridotomy, to the procedure, to the recovery, I knew I was in good hands. I would recommend Dr. Jaben and Karon to anyone interested in exploring corrective vision procedures!

I had the Refractive Lens Exchange surgery done by Dr. Jaben in November. I had really poor eyesight, and I was having many problems with the new, really thin contacts. I looked into Lasik and was disqualified. I was told about the RLE surgery and first decided against it because it would be elective and, therefore, not covered by insurance. The next day I decided I pay money for a whole lot of things that I don't even need so why not pay for something as important as my eyes! The surgery was uncomfortable--but not painful, and Dr. Jaben and all involved were wonderful. I did have problems seeing large "halos" for a long time, which affected my night driving. Others that I know who had RLE didn't have this issue, but I did (maybe because my eyesight was so bad). Because the lenses are tri-focal there are halos, but now they are small, and I have no issue with night driving. It was expensive but well worth it! I can see with no glasses or contacts! I highly recommend RLE and Dr. Jaben!

I had both lens in my eyes replaced by Dr. Jaben. I was almost blind. It was really bad. He recommended the Restor IOL multi focus lens. After I came out of surgery I could see very clearly! I do not have to wear glasses now! I love them! Dr. Jaben did an excellent job. It was painless and I feel I was blessed to have him as my doctor. His nurse was awesome too! He was the best! I am very grateful for him, and his nurse to say the least

20-20 in 2020. Dr. Jaben and his staff were everything you could ask for: thorough, professional, comforting, and overall excellent procedure. They gave me the confidence to finally get this done and improve my lifestyle. My regular eye-doctor’s comment on my one week post-op checkup said it all: “I love seeing his work, your procedure was impeccably done”. Thank you so much!

Traveled 4 hours for Dr. Jaben's services. I am a future military pilot that wanted the best of the best, and I got it with Dr. Jaben. Had Lasik procedure and my vision went from 20/400 to 20/20 in 10 minutes. Great care. He took the time to make sure I understood the procedure, made sure all of my questions were answered and explained the plan of care following the surgery. He was worth every minute of the drive. Excellent provider.

I recently had cataract surgery in one eye and I am scheduled for surgery on the other eye in a week. Dr. Jaben is very knowledgeable and did an outstanding job with my surgery. I had the Tri-Focal lens implant and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I was very nervous prior to the surgery but Dr. Jaben stopped by and spoke with me, which made a world of difference. I could not have asked for better treatment from his staff. I highly recommend Dr. Jaben and his staff for anyone considering cataract surgery.

Dr. Jaben is very thorough. He took his time educating me prior to my procedure; including a very thorough review of risks and my personal likelihood of experiencing negative outcomes. During the procedure he explained everything happening; which helped me remain calm. Post-op was more of the same: education and a review of what to expect. This level of care, patience and reassurance is rare. Of course, the fact that my surgery was successful is critical as well! I highly recommend Dr. Jaben.

I had LASIK performed with Dr. Jaben on 7/19/2019 and the experience was fantastic. Dr. Jaben and his staff were amazing. They answered all my questions and were incredibly professional. Dr. Jaben was fantastic talking me through the entire procedure before, during, and afterwards. I appreciated him even taking the time to wish my wife a happy anniversary after my procedure was performed on our anniversary. My only disappointment about the process is that I didn't get it done earlier. I went from around 20/400 to 20/15 overnight. When I took my glasses off before going into the procedure it was hard to imagine that I wouldn't need them any more but the results are amazing! Thank you Dr. Jaben for allowing me to see better than I have ever been able to see.

Been going to Dr. Jaben for 14 years. He did my LASIK 14 years ago. I was so pleased with the results and have enjoyed being eyeglass free. When I developed cataracts there was no question that I would have Dr. Scott Jaben do my surgery. I had both eyes done May 2019 and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Jaben explained to me that having LASIK and then moving onto cataract surgery could pose some minor risk around focusing etc. but I’m happy to say I have none of those issues except for minor halos and he is truly the best!!

I have worn glasses/contacts since 1st grade. I was extremely near-sighted w/ contact powers being -10.5 and -9.5. Daily struggles of having to put on contacts to apply make-up, scrambling for my glasses before getting out of bed, ensuring I ordered my dailies before running out were all a pain. And there have been a few occasions I have forgotten extra contacts and/or my glasses on trips.I considered ICL for years.My research led me to Dr. Jaben. Throughout the entire process he and his wonderful staff kept me informed and were forthcoming with risks and how they would be mitigated. I did not experience any significant side effects except the occasional halos around lights. I have no challenges with driving, including at night. I use reading glasses for menus and other items. They do not have a cure for presbyopia - the farsightedness caused by ageing; however, I was informed prior to surgery of this. I'm eternally grateful for Dr. Jaben and his staff for improving my quality of life.
