Was told I needed cataract surgery in both eyes. They were scheduled, but had to make a $1000.00…read moredown payment. Then I was told I had met my deductible so I was covered 100%. Had both eye surgeries , now 9 months later I'm getting a statement that I still owe more money. Have talked to my insurance and the insurance commissioner, can't do anything about. I believe I have been doubled charged for my 2 surgeries.

I contacted Dakota Eye through an online questionnaire. I knew I was developing cataracts but…read moredidn't know if they were bad enough to justify surgery yet. I just knew I was tired of not seeing well, even with my glasses. Someone called almost immediately to set up an appointment. After a bunch of tests Dr. Mollman told me I do need cataract surgery and since I also had astigmatism I would benefit from Toric lenses if I chose to go that route. I did decide to go with the Toric lenses so now 3 weeks later, after wearing glasses for 50 years + I have 20/20 vision in both eyes & only use "cheaters" to read small print. Sometimes professionalism and efficiency get in the way of "bedside manner", but Dr Mollman and all the nurses and supporting staff at both clinics and the Surgery Center are all very good at what they do but are also very caring and considerate.

I honestly don't know where to begin. Dr. Patzman is incredible to work with. Being the only vision…read moretherapist in the Bismarck area I was thrilled when I found her. I was also thrilled that she has given me hope in correcting my eyes to give me binocular vision. Every other place I've gone to has turned me away and said I was past the age where my vision could be corrected. (I am nearing 30). Taya uses modern technology and provides additional home exercise to work with me and it is making a dramatic difference! I would recommend Dr. Patzman to anyone seeking quality care and a second opinion when it comes to vision therapy.

I played phone tag with your practice manager for a couple of days until I finally gave up. Apparently this is your idea of "reaching out". I'm still dissatisfied, and I had to visit a different optometrist to correct my contact lens RX and get treatment for my dry eyes. Again, don't visit this office for your next eye appointment. There are much better optometrists in town and you can buy glasses and contacts online for much cheaper and much less of a hassle. Save your money and find a doctor who will treat you with respect.

Purchased a pair of bifocal eyeglasses that are unwearable after two adjustments from Nationwide,…read moreand another adjustment attempt from another optician. The bifocal portion of the lens continually interferes with my distance vision. With no faith in Nationwide's optical staff ability, rude reactions/obvious lack of interest to my requests for adjustments, or to help resolve the problem with my new glasses, I received another eye exam elsewhere, and purchased a replacement rx glasses online at nearly one-third the price for the glasses I paid at Nationwide. Researching various online rx eyeglass business proved helpful to assist me with choosing another provider to purchase eyeglasses I can actually use. Worth looking into online choices for glasses. The site I selected offers a 14-day period to review and return the glasses if dissatisfied. My daughter posted a review of Nationwide whose marketing did reach out to her. After responding to their communication, no other attempt to reach us was made. The glasses totalled over $300 which is a loss for me.
