Dr. Aaker went to Baylor College of Medicine on a full-tuition academic Presidential Scholarship after graduating Phi Beta Kappa and Cum Laude with a physics degree from UCI.  After finishing his medical school, Dr. Aaker was selected to attend the prestigious University of Rochester for his ophthalmology residency.  During his ophthalmology training Dr. Aaker received both patient care and research awards.  He performed advanced research on optics and presented his research at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.  Dr. Aaker also scored a 99 percentile on his Ophthalmology Knowledge Assessment test which still stands as the highest score in his training program.  He was selected to do a fellowship in Refractive surgery, Cornea and External disease of the eye at Washington University in St. Louis, one of the best medical schools in the country and routinely ranked in the top 10 research medical schools.  Dr. Aaker has published in major journals and ophthalmology texts.
