Eye Associates of Central Minnesota

Such kind and helpful staff. Walked in at 8am without an appointment with an injury. Walked out 1.5hrs later! The doctor even sent me a text with a discount for the prescription needed.

My first experience with Eye Associates Of Central MN & Eye Associates Optical. If you are a germaphobe this is the place for you! Jody is a very pleasant & helpful Receptionist! Has a container for clean pens, and another for pens that have been used & need cleaning! Optometrist Assistant; Ashley, is very detail oriented, and has a delightful personality! She sterilized everything that I had been in contact with, as soon as we were done with each mechanical device! Dr Melanie Thares, OD is also very detail oriented, and pleasant! Each of the above are quite knowledgeable. Communication between; Receptionists, Doctor, and the Associates Optical; Rachel, is excellent! Rachel used diagrams, and charts, to show & explain the difference between options of lense materials, and frame quality.

Went in to talk about light sensitivity after they told me they could help me. The doctor proceeds to gaslight me by saying she can't find a reason for my light sensitivity that I've had since I was born. Didn't even make a recommendation. Total clown show. Thieves. Should file a complaint with the state board. Don't tell me you can help me and then gaslight me. Total negligence.

I went in because I woke up suddenly with blurry Vision that eventually caused eye pain. I normally have perfect vision and never had any issues with my eyes in the past. They ran some tests and tried to say I have dry eyes and an astigmatism. The pain got worse the following day. It’s a good thing I listened to my gut and scheduled an appointment with a different clinic because he found that I have inflammation in my cornea and needed to be prescribed steroid eye drops. If I would have waited and listened to the first clinic then who knows what could have happened. I don’t even know for sure if my vision will return back to normal. If it doesn’t I

When I started wearing contacts at 18 my mother referred me to Eye Surgeons and Physicians. If you were fortunate enough to be a patient there you are aware of the expertise, professionalism and care you experienced at that clinic. Now, at 69, I have found that same level of expertise, professionalism and care at Eye Associates of Central Minnesota. The Doctor and staff are professional, knowledgeable, thorough, patient, friendly and kind. With two emergencies I had, they attended to my needs within an hour. I am most appreciative of their concern and care.
