In a word: SUPERB!!…read more Some background: for many years I saw an optometrist in downtown Minneapolis on Marquette Avenue - and an old but wise eye doctor! He used old lenses that he pulled from a case to check vision, but had new equipment to check for eye pressure too - the best of both worlds. More than anything else, he was friendly and genuinely concerned about my vision and me as a patient and I was saddened when he retired. The past several years I've opted for the corporate giants for exams, but this year I decided to look for a real private practice and found one right down the street! I'm adding all of this because I was so surprised by how much Dr Tyler reminded me of that optometrist! Dr. Tyler did a great job with his exam and he spent a chunk of time with me. His effort to answer questions and explain what he found in the exam was way over and above what I've gotten used to the past years - like I said: Superb!! I'd recommend him to anyone that wants a better and more thorough experience, who appreciates quality care, and who enjoys a great "bedside" (chair-side) manner!

Five years ago, I wrote a review of Dr. Jamison and her team on Google and now I have an…read moreopportunity to leave a review here as well. Last year I got new glasses and sunglasses and had a blast picking them out with the team. Unfortunately, the sunglasses didn't work as well as I had hoped and the team was very helpful in trying to fix the situation, in the end I ended up going back to my old pair for the rest of the year. I saw Dr. Jamison on Friday May 22 and first thing I said to her was boy you are here late on a Friday and she said, "If you are going to be open on a Friday, I better do it right." "Because I know how my patients like Friday appointments and I am not always able to be here on a Friday, so I'm going to make it count." I greatly appreciate her philosophy on that. Anyways back to my sunglasses, I told her what happened to the last pair, and she was genuinely bothered that they did not work out. She looked back at the manufacturing of my original pair and said we are going to get me the right ones this time. My prescription had changed enough where this was needed, and she also indicated she wasn't sure what was causing the change; however, she gave me some advice for my health that I could do to make sure things didn't get worse for some reason. Dr. Jamison and her team as per their standard went above and beyond to make sure this new pair of sunglasses would rival my original pair with more flare to them to fit my personality. Because of this and because of the diagnostic machines especially the Optos machine I have the healthy vision I do and the Optos machine saved my husband's vision because she was able to diagnosis a Retinal Detachment and get him in to see "the best of the best" right away on a Friday morning. It's not about the money with Dr. Jamison and her team, it's about you, the person, the individual and your family and what it is that you need and want to look and to feel your best. Their Gold Standard is the reason they are part of my foundational team of healthcare providers and always will be.

The new technician was very nice; she did a whole bunch of tests, photos, took pressure in my eyes, etc. Then Dr. Vang comes in, and he is also very nice and thorough. He dilates and examined my eyes. After the appointment, I was checking out, when another front desk person (NOBODY at the clinic wears name tags) told me that my balance is $39.62. When I asked him why I am being charged for a "free annual eye exam", he said that "we took a photo of your eyes so you don't have to be dilated". I said that I WAS dilated by 2 sets of eye drops. That person, Brad (I had to ask for his name as he was VERY rude and frustrated, for some reason), throws the papers, goes back to speak with the doctor, and comes back, saying that "he needed to do both photos and dilation". When I asked for a reason for that, he said that he does not know, he will check, and that he is not going "to fight with you". Then he reverses the charges because of their mistake, and, without any apologies, hands the papers back to me. NO EXPLANATIONS, NO APOLOGIES, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would have given this place a 1 star, but because of the rest of the staff that were nice, I am giving a 3/5. I am not going to that place again: Brad, don't be a Brat; even if you have a bad day, do not take it out on patients. Maybe, this job is stressful for him.

Uptown Vision is honest, corrects any lab errors (which is unbelievably common and the bane of every optical business), and offers better prices than the chain stores. In fact, Uptown Vision's prices beat almost everyone in the Twin Cities. Becca, the manager, is a fashion maven who knows what's in style and what fits your face. I am too particular, especially about tints, and Uptown Vision carefully reviews my color choices and shading percentages. Their frame selection is au courant, and they offer Blackfin, Masunaga, Andy Wolf, Maui Jim, and Dita, amongst others. Their optometrist is empathetic, listens, and thorough, plus Uptown Vision accepts most insurance policies. Trust me, it's the way to go in the Twin Cities.

Sure there's a more technical name for it, but I won't bore you with the details. So, R.F.E. means they have to contour map the surface of my eyes every few years and I have to see a doctor who looks at the picture and makes thoughtful noises. At one point they told me that it could be degenerative and I might have to have a corneal transplant. The corneas would come from either a pig or a dead person, both sounded AWESOME. So imagine my disappointment when they told me a few years ago that my eyes had stabilized. My hope of being featured on some sort of horror movie where I see dead people or start squealing like a pig were dashed (yes I know those stories have been done). Truth be told, I was leaning towards the pig eyes. I imagined how having an inhuman glare might work to my advantage! Anyways, I get to keep my messed up corneas and this place has been keeping me in glasses and seeing pretty well. This year they put me in some medical contacts that corrected my vision to almost 20/20. For me, this is like walking around seeing the world in HD after watching it on an old 1970s console TV like the one your Grandparents had. It's great! The staff and Doctors have been great to work with. Even though they use a bunch of fancy words, they are willing to dumb things down so this dim wit can understand! Quite nice of them! So, if you ever get R.F.E. or just need a great eye Doctor, check this place out.

I grew up in Minnesota and saw Dr. Viker all throughout my adolescent years. I didn't realize how…read morelucky I was to be put under such great care until I moved to the East Coast, where I have been jumping around to different optometrists, seemingly every year. I can confidently say that Dr. Viker and Dr. Gustafson are the best optometrists I have ever seen. While many optometrists these days spend 15 minutes max with you -- placing value on efficiency and getting as many patients in and out of the door as possible -- both Dr. Viker and Dr. Gustafson put the patient first, taking the time to not only get your prescription right but also get a good understanding of the lifestyle factors that may be affecting your vision. Moreover, I've had preventive tests done at this practice that optometrists at other practices haven't even offered to me (e.g., that dreaded air puff test). Another thing that's great about Drs. Viker and Gustafson is that they love getting to know their patients personally. When I moved to the East Coast in 2011, I started seeing optometrists nearer to where I lived instead of waiting to get my eye exams done while visiting my parents on vacation. However, circumstances were such that I ended up needing to see Dr. Viker again in 2017, when I was home for the holidays. If you can believe it, after 6 long years, Dr. Viker not only personally recognized me but also remembered some of the things I told her back in 2011! What truly puts The Eye Doctors on top, however, is their commitment to customer service. In 2017, I ended up getting a faulty pair of glasses that -- due to a perfect storm of factors -- could not be returned to the lab and redone for me. It was a terrible circumstance in which I was out nearly $100 with prescription glasses that I could not use. However, even though much of the responsibility lay at the hands of the opticians who helped me with my order, Dr. Viker made the decision to reimburse me for the cost of the glasses out of the company budget. Given that the optometrist and optician practices are separate, Dr. Viker totally didn't have to do this, which made the gesture all the more meaningful to me. All in all, if you are living in the Twin Cities area, do yourself a favor and become a patient of Dr. Viker or Dr. Gustafson. You won't regret it.
