More about Dr. Andrew Aker, OD

Dr. Aker grew up in the Southwest culture of Tucson, AZ.

He has spent the past several years practicing in the Portland area and is a member of the Oregon Optometric Physicians Association.

Snowboarding, basketball, art, and music production take up the rest of his time.

Quick and professional, and happy to go into some depth about the technicalities of my particular correction upon request (as well as do some followup getting in touch with another clinic). Didn't love the frame choices, but I don't know how typical their selection/pricing are.
He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. He was also good at explaining the process he used and was quite thorough with the exam. The regular office staff were also polite and quick to help.
Great establishment.
