I had once thought this place to be the best in Siouxland for eye care because the Dunes has good…read morequality in all aspects. However, to say I had a good time for this particular visit is far from the truth. I've had Lasik, mind you, so I don't have much to my prescription. But I needed the Rx to order contacts online. After making me wait 10 minutes and me visibly getting annoyed, asking when I'll be seen, they make me wait another 5 until the doctor sees me. The doctor himself was nice, gave good information. But afterwards at check out I had to wait. And wait. And wait. For the doctor to do what? Send over my Rx from the other room? I wrote down my email so they could send it because I couldn't wait longer. The WHOLE DAY PASSES and still nothing. I paid 100 dollars for these tests for the *SOLE* reason to get this Rx and I don't get it. I call again the next day to complain and they claim they didn't have my email. Bullshit. Get out of here with that crap. There's only a limited amount of people in that office so accountability cannot be an issue. Only after threatening a chargeback did they finally email me my prescription. After getting a snarky front desk lady. Lovely. Either this place had a bad day, or they're running things poorly. Regardless, no customer likes to be at the receiving end of that incompetence. This place can kick the fattest rocks.

Needed a last minute contact fitting and Dr. O'Neal was able to get me in this last Friday morning…read more The staff was very professional, new patient check in was a breeze. The tech was very nice and got all of the pre-work done with no problem. The technology at Dune Eye Consultants is fantastic. Everything seemed state of the art. We took images of the back of the eye without having to dilate. Dr. O'Neal was very considerate when we were testing my vision. I would definitely recommend going here if you need any sort of eye check up. I know I'll be back!

Dr. Alison Tendler, MD, Whitney, and Katelyn all eloquently provide a thorough pre-procedure…read moreappropriateness-evaluation visual acuity and eye health examination, by precisely using state-of-the-art laboratory-grade optical examination equipment in an opulent office, and they also explain the refractive-lens-exchange eye-surgery procedure, to correct patients' presbyopia conditions, such that the patients generally won't need to wear either corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses or use vision-correction eye drops any longer, for most routine daily tasks that require near-range, mid-range, and distant vision, if the Alcon Panoptix tri-focal implanted replacement lenses are chosen. They also answer patients' questions, explain available financing options of 6 months to 5 years, some interest-free, and provide an accurate itemized overall cost of the procedure, including the implanted lenses, and answer questions regarding insurance coverage, if applicable, pursuant to the presence or absence of any medically-significant cataracts that have, or have not, yet developed in the patients' natural eye lenses. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Tendler is well-educated, truly passionate about the intricate science of vision, and provides the personable individual attention that all vision correction patients should appreciate. She also knows how to manually, with her own vision and experienced judgment, identify whether or not the patient has yet developed cataracts in their natural eye lenses. This attention to all the details and the understanding of the patients' adaptations to the nuances of the procedure, before the procedure is done, makes it easy to readily recommend the Art Vision to anyone, and people should also appreciate a refined specialty business of this high of quality being readily available in a rural-area city the size of Sioux Falls. It's also appreciated in today's fast-paced society to see this quality level of care for individual patients. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The second surgery was done in Sioux Falls at Opthalmology Limited. I was diagnosed with Wet MD this August & have had eye injections done by Dr. Thomas. The last two injections have been done in Mitchell at the Mabee Eye Clinic. The appointments are run like a well oiled clock. Yesterday, I left at 11:50 from work, had the scan, eye test & injection. I was back at work at 12:30. Great professionals and staff!

And then, on top of that, they tend to "try out" new non-formulary treatments (read expensive and not covered) without any real discussion with the patients. I wouldn't be surprised if there were financial incentives between the pharmacy sales representatives and clinics to push those instead of less expensive options that work as well. And their financial people seem to have difficulty with communication. They struggle getting even simple pre-authorizations and seem offended if you call with even a simple question. I'll be going to Vance Thompson in the future.
