Text messages are sent prior to every appointment and if pre.paperwork can be completed, you will obtain it in advance which helps speed up the process when you arrive. A big shout out to Dr. Quick who I consulted with due to needing cataract surgery. She was extremely knowledgeable, comforting, gentle and kind. Dr. Quick helped me learn what my options were and made herself available to me even after our appointment showing complete professionalism. As eyes are a big deal, every patient wants to know that they are in good hands and Dr. Quick is one of those people.

Even tho he asks you if any questions, he gets annoyed when you do ask as he just wants out of the room! Reception desk staff ignores patients waiting in line to be checked in. They are too busy chit chatting! And then are rude when they finally do acknowledge you. Billing practices VERY sketchy at this clinic! You go in for one thing but they charge for another or multiple things you didn't even have done. Had pre authorization done in advance to make sure exam covered and then tried to bill for a non preauthorized exam! Good try people! Busted! Called my ins company and they flagged the claim so it got paid probably! You deserve better eye care than this place could ever offer so please do NOT waste your time going here! You will be EXTREMELY disappointed so don't bother! They are NOT worth your time. I will definitely be going elsewhere in the future!

I feel he should have taken more time to really examine and find out why the double vision as well as dry eye symptoms. He gave me prisms in the glasess prescription in addition to a otc antihistamine drops. If you don't have problem eyes, this would be like going to an optometrist not an opthamologist. Huge difference. I came here just for complex eye problems but got the service like i went into a Walmart. I've made another appt with Health Partners to do the same exam.

It turned out to be the worst medical experience of my life. The provider caused me significant pain and when I flinched from the needle in my eye, instead of perhaps adding more numbing drops he had his burly male assistant hold me down against my will, despite my repeated requests to stop. It was an absolute nightmare. He kept telling me I was doing fine, despite the fact that I clearly was not. It was a total disregard for my comfort, wellbeing and clearly stated wishes for him to stop. It felt like an assault, not a medical procedure. Run, do not walk, away from this practice.

Don't have much to say as I'm not the patient. Everyone seems very friendly. Comfortable chairs.read more

It was that time of year again.. time to get an eye and contacts exam and buy new everything. I…read morealways dread this because my prescription is so awful and changes every year, so I always need a new contact prescription and new glasses. On top of that, I hate wearing glasses because even after paying extra for the thinner lens, my lenses are so thick that I look ridiculous wearing them. This year was different. My insurance changed so I looked for a new eye care place near our home in Maplewood. I came across this location and chose it because they had Saturday hours and good deals through my insurance. My eye exam was quick and painless, and I came out with a new glasses and contacts prescription. I went to pick our glasses. Instead of searching through a ton of mediocre frames and waiting in line for what seems forever to get someone to assist you, I was helped quickly by someone that understands my style and need for a frame that goes well with my thick lenses. She walked me through all of my options and got me the cheapest set of the best glasses possible (anti reflective, thinner lenses, the whole 9 yards). After ordering them, I was led to the counter where I also ordered contacts and was given a rebate form to send in once I received them. A week later, my contacts arrived at my home and less than two weeks later, my glasses arrived. They are amazing! For literally years, probably 15 to give perspective, I've only worn glasses at night because I hate how I couldn't see as well with them and how bad they looked on me. Now I wear them whenever my eyes are tired or just for fun! It's so nice to be able to give my eyes a break, especially when I work overnights or long hours in the hospital. I highly recommend this place. They have a huge selection of awesome glasses, service is quick and painful, and the staff are all super nice and eager to help. So glad I came here!

In the past, I have not bought my contacts through the clinic. This year I took their price sheet home and checked on prices elsewhere and decided to purchase contacts through the clinic. When I called to order them, suddenly, the price was over $50 more. WOW! I went to the clinic to ask about this and was told that it was a "mistake." They seemed unwilling to honor their original price. Maybe it is a "mistake" or maybe it's a "Bait & Switch" ploy. I'd like to think it's the former, but my trust in the clinic has been shaken.
