Advanced Eye Care Center

Advanced Eye Care is top notch! The doctors and staff are incredible. They truly care about their patients. They spend the necessary time with you and they always follow up when you call the office with a question. They made an exception for me to have surgery on a day that Dr. Shaffron does not do them. Incredible people and God bless him! They work hand in hand with my Retina surgeon and are always on the same page. Advanced is the only place I would recommend to anyone in the metroplex. They took great care of me! Thank you, Advanced Eye Care team! You are the best! Will

I I’m very pleased as I walked out of there with my yearly eye check up, all staff was very clear and professional. I felt verycomfortable with Dr. Ackerman’s explanations. My experience at the optical department was extraordinary! Violet went a step above and beyond to make sure I picked the right glasses for my needs, comfort, and liking. That was a long and hard decision since it was my first pair of glasses I have ever picked. I am sure my investment is very much worth it, and I feel very happy with my selection. Thanks to the detailed help of the optical department.

Great service from Drs and staff. Organized, efficient, pleasant, good communication at all levels, excellent cataract surgery skills, (Dr. Eckhart) , latest equipment. As a retired physician I know what to look for, this practice is medically first rate. Building is a little old, but I want substance not glitz.

Absolutely loved my experience. The staff was very nice. I just switched to them after being with the same Opthalmologist for over 10 years. I was nervous, however, I had no second guessing upon leaving my appointment. I actually had more detailed information. My husband will changing to them as well.

I've continued to go to AEC since they successfully diagnosed a torn retnia years ago, but I'm finally done. It's bad enough that you have to wait hours from your appointment time to actually see a doctor, but this last time I was convinced to get glasses that would "make your compuer work great". I was told buy the doctor I had 90 days for any corrections. I maked the day on the calender, but they just weren't working for me. I went back today, and was told "sorry - we only offer that for 30 days..." I spent over $500 on those lens. I supplied the frames. I left - Never to return. Absolutely unconscionable.

My experience at Advanced Eye Care Center of Denton was great. They are very responsive and were able to get me in the next day. The Doctor I saw was skilled and very caring. I do plan on going in for my follow up visits and am looking forward to it.

I have been attending Advanced Eye Care for over 10 years. What I find incredibly important are three things. One is their complete attention when seeing both the staff and one’s doctor. Two, while there can be a wait sometimes, one can be sure it is not out of laziness nor disrespect from any of the staff for they are working long days with a variety of patients. Some patients have few issues with their eyes and others are quite serious. And while the doctors make time for each client and their particular issues, it is impossible for the doctor to know if the issues have subsided or gotten worse since their last visit. In my experience, a schedule is not set in stone, but it is an improvised guide that can change throughout the day based on us, “the patients) & their needs. So while waiting can be frustrating; I take it as a signal of deep caring for each individual and their ever evolving needs in present time. Finally, I have had such good care there that my eyes are functioning so much better that I as a 71 year old woman I no longer have to go twice a year. This is due to having great individual care and sometimes longer appointments like when my discovered a hole in my retina; or the time he noticed my short optic nerve; or realized one eye needed extreme liquid immediately. In conclusion, it is my experience that the doctors and staff there are kind people with deep expertise, particularly my doctor, Dr Shafron or one of the staff Mary. What a humane and experienced and staff member. He is a doctor who not only is intellectual about his work, but goes out of his way to educate a patient about their issue, if they want to know. Sometimes and as a person who has anxiety, I dread going because of potential, new issues that could arise. However if I must see an eye doctor, Advanced Eye Care is the place and best choice for me. Even in the waiting rooms, if one is friendly to the patients they are nice, supportive and conversational. Don’t hesitate to go there because the doctors and staff are busy, individually minded and educationally supportive to patients and their issues. You could miss an opportunity for great care and comfort leading to a more healthy life for your eyes and for you!

Great staff! Everyone has been very pleasant and professional. Dr Ackerman explained all the test results but was just as interested in what I was experiencing. He did the cataract surgery on both my eyes and it has made a big difference. i am so glad I had the surgery and just as glad I put my trust (and my eyes!) to Dr Ackerman.

Violet Garcia at the optical center at Advanced Eye Care was an excellent help today! There was a problem that we didn’t have the prescription for contacts from the doctor while at the store trying to order the contacts. She trace d down the manager and then the doctor in order to be able to email me my prescription! I was so upset to not have received the contacts prescription at the time of my appointment but she truly went above and beyond to be able to email it to me so I could order my contacts! Amazing courtesy and competency! My hero!

Dr. Ackerman and the staff are friendly and attentive. They answered my questions about cataract surgery and calmed any anxiety I may have had. I had both eyes done two weeks apart, and was surprised by how easy it was. My only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner!
