I have been a patient at Associated Eye Care for over 20 Years. Dr. Steven Lane has been my…read morephysician through many eye exams, LASIK surgery and cataract surgery. He is a dedicated doctor who is very experienced and knowledgeable. For my most recent appointment this week I saw Dr. Schwartz (spelling?). He was very thorough as well and explained things very clearly. He answered my questions and never seemed rushed. His manner was friendly and concerned. I have found the staff to be welcoming and friendly. The Stillwater office is beautiful. I highly recommend AEC (and have done so many times in the past. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Lane and Dr. Schwartz. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them.

The level of disrespect I encountered today is staggering. I've been an established patient here…read morefor some time, but after this experience, I will never step foot in this office again. I made an honest mistake and showed up for an appointment that wasn't on the books. When I realized my error, I simply asked to quickly schedule a new one. The woman at the desk told me, "Sure, but I need you to step aside so I can check out patients." Excuse me? There were two desk staff members present and only one patient waiting behind me. Instead of the second person helping me or the first person taking thirty seconds to look at a calendar, I was told to move out of the way like I was a disruption. I have never been treated so rudely in all my life. To be told to "step aside" at a business where I am a loyal patient is a slap in the face. They clearly have no regard for patient retention or basic manners. They have officially lost my business permanently. If you want to be respected as a patient, go elsewhere!

I started off first grade with a boom. Literally. On the concrete playground of Wilshire Park (Go…read morePandas! LOL!), a notorious bully appeared out of nowhere and punched me in the eye while I waited my turn to ascend the monkey bars. She hit me with such force that it caused schoolyard children, supervising teachers, and nearby murder of crows to make a cacophony of ugly shrieks. (http://bit.ly/1gj0KYN) Later that day, I told my mom about my bully's Balrog punch (http://bit.ly/1bQ3R9y) and she enrolled me in karate. #nationalkarateinroseville Several weeks later, the bruising on my face disappeared; however, the cost of her blow would still be felt decades later. In my early twenties, I developed a cataract. (A cataract is blurred vision that occurs from a damaged lens in the eye.) My ailment was an anomaly -since I wasn't old- that puzzled the head ophthalmologist at Park Nicollet (St. Louis Park)/ leading surgeon at Phillips. Eventually, she determined that my cataract occurred one of two ways: extreme drug use or trauma. I didn't use any drugs, so she deducted that it had to be trauma. (Hence, the realization that it was due to that vicious punch.) I needed surgery, ASAP! Coincidentally, my father, who is 32 years older than me, and within the age range for receiving a cataract, needed surgery as well. My father and I scheduled appointments to go "under the knife" by the same doctor on the same day and place. (First ever father-son duo at Phillips, I might add) Our appointment times were different, of course. My first -and hopefully, only visit- to the Phillips Eye Institute was nothing short of excellent. That's mainly due to the considerate and professional staff. Beginning with the receptionists, they kindly guided me on filling out all of the necessary paperwork and answered all of my questions without any sighs. The nurses? Super awesome, since they clearly articulated how they would help me prepare for the surgery. They also anesthetized me without any hiccups, and when I went under, I was so relaxed that I probably wouldn't have cared if someone slapped me in the face or hijacked and sold my organs on the black market. While drugged up, I recall the surgeon making a minuscule incision on the side of my eye, which immediately caused my vision to become blurry. Right afterwards, though, I saw an array of colors and felt as if I was flying through a rainbow or in warp-speed on the Star Trek Enterprise! (http://bit.ly/1aPrTDA) She then utilized a special operating vacuum to suck out my scarred lens and injected a folded and plastic one, perfectly. Afterwards, I passed out, woke up, and found myself rockin' a not-so-badass eye patch. (See photo.) Several days later, I returned to see my ophthalmologist and had my patch removed. My vision was better than ever! I could now drive at night, read without any problems, and discern between light yellow and white. (Yeah, that's how bad it was.) To this day, my vision rocks! If I ever have an epiphany as to who punched me, I would attempt to find her via Google and then send a message demanding her to pay for my past cataract surgery. However, this will probably never happen. If you or a loved one ever has a cataract, I highly recommend the Phillips Eye Institute! They changed my life!

Mn Low Vision Dr. Amanda Stoutman actually listened. She genuinely acted and treated me like she…read morecared. Thank you so much! The front office person even met me in the lobby so I wouldn't get lost. It is rare when the whole staff is so customer-centric and you leave feeling better just by how you are treated. Wow Mn Eye - Mtka I asked the doctor if a tint would help me see so I could keep my job. The response was well, it is subjective. I asked the doctor if a glare covering would help me see at work, again she said it was subjective. I had to ask point blank if I had the diagnosis of glaucoma after hints. Lastly preparing for another eye doctor visit, while reading her visit summary, the physician stated that she spent a long time talking to me. I couldn't see where, unless "subjective" constitutes having a meaningful conversation. When I asked for help, no options were suggested, no direction given, it was again subjective. It is a big deal when you are in a fight to keep a job so you can have healthcare. I had to problem solve and find that a low vision Physician existed through the internet. I came to you out of high recommendations and trusting that even if you couldn't help I'd at least get a referral or I don't know, but will find you, someone.
