Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The fact, unlike some 'eye specialists' he and his staff took the time to do a proper examination. Afterwards then took the time to explain everything and discuss options.

Took time to ask and address any concerns.
Minnesota Eye institute is by far the best source to treat any eye issues. From initial consult through surgeries and post op follow-ups, each visit you leave knowing they have your eye health as their top priority. Highly recommend.

He explained clearly what is causing my issue with my eye in a clear and concise manner and I understood what he explained. Didn’t push me to make a decision on treatment but made his recommendation. Very caring doctor

Excellent visit. Very little waiting time. The associates were professional and very polite and friendly. Vic and Marie were very nice. Dr. G. was very professional, thorough. He was very communicative. He really worked to explain what was going on, and wanted to be sure I understood. He explained things more than I have ever understood them before!
