Dr Ristad, who recently retired, was one of my favorite doctors of all time. His replacement, Dr…read more Elliott, has been a huge disappointment. Dr. Ristad knew I was almost ready for cataract surgery a year ago. I waited until I was sure it was time and met with Dr. Elliott. Dr. Elliott spent maybe 10 minutes with me. He didn't examine me, nor would he answer my questions. His advice was for me to wait and use my OTC eyedrops more frequently and get my glasses adjusted. Good advice, but these things aren't going to solve my cataract problem. I believe Dr. Elliott doesn't trust his abilities, because he told me that he didn't want to harm me. Why would he say that? Since I met with Dr. Elliott two things have occurred: 1) My eyesight has gotten significantly worse, and 2) I went on two trips where there's snow and sun, which is particularly hard on my eyes. I've since gone to another eye doctor who spent 90 minutes examining my eyes. He said my cataracts are advanced and surgery is definitely warranted. I wanted to avoid writing this review by speaking with a manager at Edina Eye Clinic. I tried twice but was told that it wasn't going to happen.

Dr. Moss was one of the most careless, condescending, and disengaged providers I've ever encountered. He couldn't be bothered to offer even a sliver of basic human decency. No introduction, no explanation, no effort to communicate, just a very cold, rushed, disinterested presence. He ignored questions, gave no useful information. It genuinely felt like he did not even want to be there in the first place. It felt like being an inconvenience rather than a human being in need of care. I truly do not understand how someone this checked out and rude is still allowed to see patients. I've already warned people I care about to avoid this clinic entirely if they are in need of any eye related help. If you're looking for a compassionate ophthalmologist who offers clarity, medical support, or even minimal respect. . look elsewhere. This wasn't care. It was total dismissal. I left more confused and unhopeful about my condition than when I arrived. Train your staff in compassion, communication, and basic human decency. it would go a long way. Patients should never have to feel like they're walking on eggshells. If he can't show up with kindness, why is he in this line of work? Do better.

I started off first grade with a boom. Literally. On the concrete playground of Wilshire Park (Go…read morePandas! LOL!), a notorious bully appeared out of nowhere and punched me in the eye while I waited my turn to ascend the monkey bars. She hit me with such force that it caused schoolyard children, supervising teachers, and nearby murder of crows to make a cacophony of ugly shrieks. (http://bit.ly/1gj0KYN) Later that day, I told my mom about my bully's Balrog punch (http://bit.ly/1bQ3R9y) and she enrolled me in karate. #nationalkarateinroseville Several weeks later, the bruising on my face disappeared; however, the cost of her blow would still be felt decades later. In my early twenties, I developed a cataract. (A cataract is blurred vision that occurs from a damaged lens in the eye.) My ailment was an anomaly -since I wasn't old- that puzzled the head ophthalmologist at Park Nicollet (St. Louis Park)/ leading surgeon at Phillips. Eventually, she determined that my cataract occurred one of two ways: extreme drug use or trauma. I didn't use any drugs, so she deducted that it had to be trauma. (Hence, the realization that it was due to that vicious punch.) I needed surgery, ASAP! Coincidentally, my father, who is 32 years older than me, and within the age range for receiving a cataract, needed surgery as well. My father and I scheduled appointments to go "under the knife" by the same doctor on the same day and place. (First ever father-son duo at Phillips, I might add) Our appointment times were different, of course. My first -and hopefully, only visit- to the Phillips Eye Institute was nothing short of excellent. That's mainly due to the considerate and professional staff. Beginning with the receptionists, they kindly guided me on filling out all of the necessary paperwork and answered all of my questions without any sighs. The nurses? Super awesome, since they clearly articulated how they would help me prepare for the surgery. They also anesthetized me without any hiccups, and when I went under, I was so relaxed that I probably wouldn't have cared if someone slapped me in the face or hijacked and sold my organs on the black market. While drugged up, I recall the surgeon making a minuscule incision on the side of my eye, which immediately caused my vision to become blurry. Right afterwards, though, I saw an array of colors and felt as if I was flying through a rainbow or in warp-speed on the Star Trek Enterprise! (http://bit.ly/1aPrTDA) She then utilized a special operating vacuum to suck out my scarred lens and injected a folded and plastic one, perfectly. Afterwards, I passed out, woke up, and found myself rockin' a not-so-badass eye patch. (See photo.) Several days later, I returned to see my ophthalmologist and had my patch removed. My vision was better than ever! I could now drive at night, read without any problems, and discern between light yellow and white. (Yeah, that's how bad it was.) To this day, my vision rocks! If I ever have an epiphany as to who punched me, I would attempt to find her via Google and then send a message demanding her to pay for my past cataract surgery. However, this will probably never happen. If you or a loved one ever has a cataract, I highly recommend the Phillips Eye Institute! They changed my life!

Wow Mn Eye - Mtka I asked the doctor if a tint would help me see so I could keep my job. The response was well, it is subjective. I asked the doctor if a glare covering would help me see at work, again she said it was subjective. I had to ask point blank if I had the diagnosis of glaucoma after hints. Lastly preparing for another eye doctor visit, while reading her visit summary, the physician stated that she spent a long time talking to me. I couldn't see where, unless "subjective" constitutes having a meaningful conversation. When I asked for help, no options were suggested, no direction given, it was again subjective. It is a big deal when you are in a fight to keep a job so you can have healthcare. I had to problem solve and find that a low vision Physician existed through the internet.

I saw this place had most of the services I need (general practice, allergies, dermatology), so I made the switch. I wanted to go in to get tested for diabetes because I was showing some of the symptoms, it runs in my family and I had not had a physical in years anyways. I figured it wouldn't hurt. So I go into the office and I'm explaining this to the Internal Medicine Dr and she cuts me off and starts asking me some questions. She asks if I'm on birth control and when I had my last pap. I answered her even though I was confused as to what it really had to do with getting tested for diabetes. I guess I figured hey, I'm not a doctor. I'll just paraphrase the rest - basically she continued to lecture me on the dangers of getting pregnant/stds. I explained that I'm 26 years old and that my boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years, we use condoms etc etc. She insisted on me getting a pap smear right then and there. Maybe other ladies are totally cool with spontaneous pap smears and not getting any help with the actual reason they went there but I don't know, it wasn't really my favorite I guess. The reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is that I did end up finding out that I didn't have diabetes. Plus I got the surprise bonus tests to find out I wasn't pregnant and I didn't have STDs or cancer. Hooray!
