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!

Well maintained and trendy office, plus they have snacks! LOL. Very happy with this visit and will return for future appointments. P.S. it's customer appreciation week or month.

Uptown Vision is the best. Years ago, I was part owner of optical stores in South Florida. Thus,…read moreI know the good from the bad. 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.

She was physically holding my daughter down for eye drops and I had to demand she andk her to stop. I accidentally saw her today for an eye emergency situation. I was in extreme pain. she didn't care & told me to "open my eye for insurance purposes." She is inappropriate, inadequate. and provides dangerous care. All while repeating that she's been a doctor for "35 years." I left with no instructions, she provided me nothing and my eye has gotten worse, I've been a nurse nearly 20 and have never encountered a physician that talks about herself more.

I've unfortunately given them numerous chances over the past few years and have consistently been…read morefrustrated. The first pair of glasses I bought from them had the completely wrong prescription in them. Then the first time I ordered contacts I got a notification to review my contacts when I hadn't even been told they were ready so I called to verify and they said they weren't in, I stopped by about a week later as I found it odd they weren't in yet and was told by the manager that they were stuck overseas, then two days later got a call that if I didn't come get my contacts right away they were no longer willing to hold them for me. Second time I ordered contacts I decided to have them shipped to maybe avoid confusion, but then got a call that they were waiting for me in store, so I went in and then they proceeded to not be able to find the contacts, an employee and the manager confused looking around and yelling back and forth for about 10 minutes as I waited awkwardly. Then the last time I called to order contacts the manager took my call and when I asked for 6 months worth she proceeded to give me attitude saying last time I ordered contacts she'd explained to me to get a years worth and if I'd just done that instead of 6 months I wouldn't need to be calling again right now. Excuse me? I knew my insurance would re-up and cover more contacts in 6 months when I'd originally called - but I also should not feel like I need to explain that to someone, especially not a manager. Throughout all of this time, any experience in store has been incredibly unprofessional. Employees loudly having personal conversations across the store and ignoring patients. Consistently having difficulties verifying insurance and making it seem like it's the patient's fault. When an employee doesn't know something they just yell back and forth instead of pausing a personal conversation, getting up and coming over to help one another. Unsure if it's lack of training, but it is incredibly frustrating and I've officially given up and won't be returning.

With my once-perfect 20/20 vision bidding adieu, I found myself facing the classic conundrum of aging eyes. Enter Dr. Marcie Nichols, who "lovingly" ushered me into this new spectacle-wearing chapter of my life. Dr. Nichols is not just an optometrist; she's like a vision-whisperer, breaking down the mystique of comprehensive eye exams with remarkable clarity. When life threw the curveball of bariatric surgery at me, she was there, advising me to keep a vigilant eye (pun intended) on any vision changes. Lo and behold, her foresight was spot-on. A mere 8 months later, my eyes decided to remix their capabilities, and thanks to her advice, I didn't dally till my annual check-up to get an updated script. But wait, there's more! The clinic recently welcomed Dr. Beth Mosley, who is nothing short of amazing. Her addition to the team is like the cherry on top of an already delectable eye-care sundae. And let's not forget: this practice is a bastion of female leadership. As a firm supporter of women-led endeavors, their commitment to this ethos adds an extra sparkle to their already stellar services. Perspectives Vision Clinic gets a resounding 5 out of 5 from me--only because my enthusiasm can't stretch the scale to a perfect 10. Here's looking at you, Perspectives!
