“The front desk staff was lovely, as well as the assistant. She was kind and listened to my concerns. The doctor was a little stern and felt like he was pushing through his client list to get them out of the way. It felt that my concerns were belittled to a degree. That and my prescription was sent to the wrong pharmacy even after confirming.”

About Dr. Aaron LaHoud

Aaron Lahoud, O.D. earned his Doctor of Optometry from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2012 after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Minnesota State University in 2008. With more than 14 years of experience, Dr. Lahoud provides comprehensive eye care for patients of all ages. While studying human biology, he became fascinated by the connection between vision and overall health. He chose optometry because it gives him the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact on people's lives every day, whether helping a child succeed in the classroom, detecting eye disease before it affects vision, or restoring the confidence that comes with seeing clearly. He believes great eye care is about more than improving vision. It is about helping patients live healthier, fuller lives. Dr. Lahoud enjoys caring for patients of all ages and treating a wide variety of eye conditions. He values getting to know his patients and believes every visit is an opportunity to educate, build trust, and help people protect one of their most important senses. Committed to lifelong learning, he stays current with the latest advancements in eye care so his patients receive the best possible treatment. Originally from Minnesota, Dr. Lahoud enjoys an active outdoor lifestyle. In his free time, he can often be found mountain biking, snowboarding, golfing, hiking, playing pickleball, or exploring his interest in permaculture. Above all, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their two young sons.

Dr. LaHoud was very nice and professional, listened to me and provided me with very clear guidance on how to care for several of the conditions I’ve been experiencing. Mary helped me pick out my glasses and ran all my insurance to get me the best price on premium glasses. I wanted to check out frames I had seen at another vendor, but after doing so, I realized that Mary had given me the best bang for my buck, called her, paid over the phone and the order was placed. I should have the new pair in 2 weeks. All in all, a great experience.

I was not seen with the Provider who was assigned at my appt. Which is fine!...But the woman I had was awesome. I would rather give her 5 stars out of 5 then give someone credit that never even seen me for my appt. Very great service from when I walked in to front desk to bring seen all the way to check out. I enjoyed my time there. Would definitely go back again.

Dr. LaHoud was quick and helpful and answered all my questions. There was a bit of a wait after I arrived on time, but the staff were all very helpful and nice.
Verified patient
I felt I had all of Dr. LaHoud attention during my visit. He answered all my questions clearly. I felt he genuinely cared about the well being of my eyes. He took as long as needed. The office overall was good. they have glasses right there and a sales person will answer your insurance and glasses questions. I WILL CONTINUE getting my eye exams with Dr. LaHoud. Notes: - He has a very, very firm handshake. Do not be intimidated by it. - The EyeCare Specialists sales person/office put a hold on my insurance. So, when I went to another store where I usually buy my glasses from, they could not pull my insurance benefits. I had to call EyeCare Specialists for them to remove the hold. This could be more annoying if you plan to buy your glasses online. IMPORTANT: this practice is UNRELATED to Dr. LaHoud. Again, Dr. LaHoud was great and I will continue getting my eye exams from him.
I have suggested this office and Dr. LaHoud to a friend. It was quick, clear and concise. The office staff was also quick kind and very helpful and enthusiastic.
Great experience!

Professional overall. Little interest in how my vision was affected by the lenses provided, though - feedback that vision seemed worse with lens was ignored/downplayed. Staff were pushy on services.
