Specialty Eye Care for Every Species
The staff here is incredible. The front workers/techs are helpful and kind, and the veterinarians are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They took the extra time to answer any questions about our dog’s diagnosis and treatment plan, and they made sure we understood everything before we left. They took excellent care of our 15 y/o girl, and she now has two healthy ulcer free eyes because of them!
Thank you to the staff for the amazing care we received here !!! ❤️

The team at Animal Eye Associate is first class. The entire team at the front desk is friendly and efficient. The vet assistant are great with all the animals and demonstrate an attention to detail that translates into great care. The veterinarians are well schooled experienced and prescribe the right treatment the first time. They have cared for two of my dogs over 5 years and I would go no other place.
What a great and compassionate business and organization here. Sadly, I've had to take one of our fur babies here three times. Every time we received. Excellent to Superior service. Was able to diagnose and treat very effectively.
Do Unto Others Assistance Dogs wants to thank you for your participation in the 2025 ACVO / Epicur Service Dog eye exams! Your staff and doctors were wonderful with our pups - TOBY and SPARTACUS both say "2 paws up!"
We have been thankful customers of Animal Eye Associates for 15 years. Dr Heidi Denis, Mindy, Heather, and Megan have been wonderful with the care of our pets and we give them our highest recommendation!
Be aware of the recheck scam! Our first visit was okay, although the doctor never showed up, as they’re still doing drop off appointments like during COVID. We were charged $250 for the exam itself, and we did tear test, tonometry exam, and fluorescein exam that are included in the $250 exam. HOWEVER, the recheck was ridiculously expensive. we were told to come back for a recheck in 6 weeks. Usually a recheck with a specialist is much cheaper, which they claimed the recheck is only $150, but every test costs extra. We ended up paying $150 for the recheck and then $80 for a tear test. Which means the recheck is more expensive than the initial comprehensive exam. They only took my dog into the room for literally 3 mins. I absolutely don’t have a positive feeling about the recheck. Three minutes is probably enough for a tear test, however, I was also charged $150 for the doctor’s professional exam, which i don’t believe he did that. And I still didn’t see the doctor this time. I will not recommend this place.
Excellent physicians that truly care about your pets eyes! The cost can be rather high, but one would expect that from any specialist!
Avoid at all costs!!
This place quoted me $1300 for a double entropion eye surgery for my cat. I was VERY clear what his condition was, his health, his medical history and prior specialist appointments.
Additionally, despite sharing his medical records from another specialist in advance of his apt and confirming they had no concerns, they asked me to come in so they can take a look at him, I agree as I understand it’s their policy.
JUST FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAT WAS $250. To reconfirm what his medical records already said!!!
On top of that, the quote changed DRASTICALLY from $1300 to $2300. even though they told me that the $1300 included EVERYTHING, the apt, the bloodwork, the surgery, and the post care.
So absolutely appalled by this place, their poor communication and obvious price gouging.

Simply the best of the best. Our Alibi was diagnosed over the summer with diabetes which brought on Cataracts, she went blind very quickly. At only 7 years old, we hoped she may have some hope for her future. Animal Eye Associates completed her initial exam saying she was a good candidate for surgery to correct her vision.....they were right!
Surgery completed and 1 week later, Alibi has healed quite well and can see again!!!
The entire staff, from answering the phones to the surgeons, were professional, personable, and treated us with compassion and care.
Highly Recommend!

These doctors & techs literally saved my dogs life & my sanity. My little pup had an accident where he lost eye sight immediately, and they were able to get him in only 12 hours later to not only diagnose & treat, but also work with him & me as we adjust to his new lifestyle.
We unfortunately had to have surgery to remove an eye, and due to the flawless job of the team here, he healed quickly, smoothly, and it solved all his pain problems. Very happy with this staff of experts, and will continue to recommend them for all your pets eye needs; whatever they may be!
Thank you Animal Eye Associates for everything, we are so grateful!

He has taken care of my girl's eyes for 11 years. What a blessing he did surgery on them at 2 years old and has been taking care of them. They are almost 13 year old sisters from the same litter. They could not see when they were born and were given the gift of sight after surgery. Thank you, they have been living an amazing life! Blessed for caring talented people.
Everyone was so helpful and able to get my Poodle in quickly for his eye discomfort. I called Friday and he was in Monday for an appointment and was in surgery Tuesday for ectopic cilia. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable and Dr. Villar was very thorough with explaining the procedure to me and checking all of his eyelids to make sure there wasn’t anything else bothering him. I am thankful that my Cooper is going to be feeling a lot better now. Thank you so much.
