StarStarStarStarStar Excellent service and attention to details  —    (Patient since Tue Mar 05 00:00:00 MST 2013)

The staff at the clinic did an awesome job making me feel comfortable that they are doing everything they can to keep me safe during the reopening after the stay at home order was lifted. They made sure they did not have to many patients waiting so you could social distance. They took patient temperatures before entering the building. They wore masks and asked that patients do as well. They also made sure they disinfected any equipment or glasses before and after they were touched.

I love Dr. Bush. She is very professional & personable. She truly cares about my eye health.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Thu Nov 14 00:00:00 MST 2019)

Everything was very good up to picking new frames. Dr. Bush was excellent and explained things and took the time needed for me. The optical department left something to be desired for me. I need titanium or plastic frames because of allergies. There was a very very limited amount of titanium frames. While the lady helping me did her best she did not appear to be informed on frames and money of the other 3 ladies in that area seemed to want to leave their computers to offer any assistance, although one did offer a few words if help. That part of my appointment was very disappointing.

The team was able to get my daughter in at the last minute even though we were new customers. They did a great job helping us find "the glasses" and we're very knowledgeable about our coverage for add-ons. My son and I will be back in a few weeks and I know to expect a great experience!

I owe Elk River Eye Clinic a big thanks and would recommend them to anyone. I was not a patient of theirs. I had a piece of metal stuck in my eye, which my doctor couldn't remove.

StarStarStarStarStar Excellent Experience  —    (Patient since Thu Feb 28 00:00:00 MST 2019)

Everyone I met there was very pleasant and professional. I liked seeing Dr. Bush. She took the time to go over everything and had suggestions on how to treat my dry eye issue. They have a large selection of beautiful frames to choose from and I enjoyed working with Trina while picking out my new glasses. She is fun, very friendly and helpful. Overall my experience was excellent and I will continue to go there in the future.


StarStarStarStarStar Reassured about a potential eye problem —    (Patient since Fri Aug 19 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

I went in with an issue that was potentially a little frightening with having flashes and floaters in my eye. After having some tests, I was assured that all was well. Dr Hess explained what was going on, and he gave me a hand out to explain further. I appreciate the team at Elk River Eye Clinic. The staff is always helpful and kind.

I have been lax in going to get an eye exam for the whole of my adult life so far, but I finally admitted I should go this year. Well from the first person to greet me when I walked in to the moment I left I was greeted by really friendly, relatable people. I’m definitely glad I decided to go here for my first “adult” eye exam.

I looked at some frames, but selection is limited, and I didn't really have the time to spend looking. I live in Andover, so the likeliness of me going back to Elk River for frames, when I would drive by several other locations between, probably won't happen. I will always go to Elk River for the Dr visit. I love the office environment, cleanliness and new Dr is fantastic.

I have been coming here for 30 plus years. I absolutely do not have any thing bad to say about Elk River Eye Clinic. From the receptionist to the technicians, and of course Dr. Hess best service ever. The techs are so understanding and very patient. Dr. Hess answers my questions and explains things in terms that I can understand. I have always been treated with kindness and respect.

I was very pleased with Dr. Bush. It was my first time seeing her and I have complete confidence in her. And I worked with two opticians in selecting sunglasses. I have worked with Sherry before and she is always great, but the other was also helpful. (Sorry I don't remember her name.)

I have complete confidence in Dr. Hess. The exam is more comprehensive than I have received in the past. He is qualified to follow all my eye conditions so that travel is not required to go to Coon Rapids,MN or Blaine, MN. He takes time to explain, listen and understand my concerns. I have referred him to my friends who feel the same way.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Tue May 02 00:00:00 MDT 2017)

It was all really quite comfortable for me. The technicians and optometrist were quite well behaved and competent. I purchased some "retro" (mid '50's-60's) looking frames at a decent price. My own preferences, and definition of "retro," run a bit older than theirs (art deco/Bauhaus: 1920's-'30's), but that's probably just me.

Really nice office and friendly staff. I didn't purchase glasses because I didn't need any, but I did visit with the opticians. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. Randi has adjusted my glasses before and did a super job. I was disappointed though when I visited your web site to learn about your office and staff, the opticians were not listed. Nor the friendly receptionist.

My family are new patients at Elk River Eye Clinic and we are very pleased with the customer service and professionalism of the clinic! Dr. Hess was very thorough and willing to answer all of my questions. Sherry and Julie were so great to work with in picking out our glasses also. It was nice to have such excellent customer service from people who truly care and want their customers to be happy! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone! Becky Smith

I was happy with everything about my visit. I thought Dr Hess did a good job of explaining the cyst on my eyelid and gave me good information about a possible follow up with an opthamology surgeon. The exam was good and I also thought the retinal exam with the woman was good. I looked at some glasses afterward and received good help there too.

I was being fitted for glasses when another person brought me the pair of contact to try, I must have left them, because I looked everywhere for them. When I called back to the clinic, they basically said to bad, and wouldn't do anything to help me. How can I buy contacts, if I can't try them?


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Tue Nov 15 00:00:00 MST 2011)

I got into the 1st area very quickly but I was very disappointed that I had to wait over 30 minutes to see the doctor that took less than 5 minutes.


StarStarStarStarStar Good experience —    (Patient since Wed Jan 30 00:00:00 MST 2013)

the folks I talked to and who helped me were first rate. My exam was complete, painless and informative. I will be back when I need new glasses again.

Thank you for taking time to answer my many questions about the opti-map and my prescription. I am always curious to know more and appreciate the doctor taking time with me. Always treated very well, friendly staff. Thank you. And I did get my contacts at ERE, just couldn't change my response to the last question. Thanks.

I had a burst blood vessel in my eye which alarmed me & my husband. I called the clinic that morning & they got me in for an appointment that same day and I got a thorough exam & definitely some peace of mind!

StarStarStarStarStar Great Experience —    (Patient since Mon Feb 13 00:00:00 MST 2012)

I have seen Dr. Hoffard for over thirty years. I have entrusted him with my eye care for all those years, and I will continue to do so. I always feel so comfortable and important, not just a number, at the Elk River Eye Clinic. Thank you so much. Keith Quammen


StarStarStarStarNo Star One small concern/suggestion —    (Patient since Tue Mar 13 00:00:00 MDT 2012)

My visit was great. The only issue was no one was at the front desk when I came in and I waited about 5 minutes before someone came out. Maybe have a door chime sound when the door opens to know to check the front. Otherwise, excellent as usual.


StarStarStarStarStar Great doc and staff - you won't be disappointed! —    (Patient since Tue Oct 07 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

Everyone is very friendly and attentive - you're acknowledged right away and never have to wait long - they're like a well-oiled machine! I can't imagine a better eye clinic/staff, so I would highly recommend them.

StarStarNo StarNo StarNo Star Poor sales tactics —    (Patient since Wed Feb 10 00:00:00 MST 2016)

After picking my frame and showing to the sales person so she could record the model, she told me there is a place to pick a discount (10-30%) from a bin. She also told me my frames come with clip on sun shades. During the fitting I was refused both because "these deals do not pertain to my frames." I was told they would, so lesson learned.


StarStarStarStarStar Great staff! —    (Patient since Wed Nov 14 00:00:00 MST 2012)

The staff was very friendly and we knowledgeable! We came in and had our 2 little boys with and the staff was great with them! They understood that boys will be boys and helped keep them entertained while we had our eye exam and picked out glasses! This is a huge plus in a moms eyes! So thank you!!


StarStarStarStarStar Wrong chart —    (Patient since Mon Nov 03 00:00:00 MST 2014)

I had my appointment and was told that my Rx had changed quite a bit. Afterwards I noticed that the name on the paper work was not my name. They will be sending me my Rx because they needed to fix the paperwork. I hope my doctor received the correct patient name when he was sent my exam results!

this is one of the places on my place of employment where I can get safety glasses. ironically you don't accept Cigna ins. so my co-pay was more than I expected.so unless you can find a way to accept Cigna , this will probably be my last visit.

The cost of the frame was quite high. Glass prescription turned out very good.


StarStarStarStarNo Star 4 stars —    (Patient since Fri Apr 22 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

My eyes were dilated and it was difficult to see so I did not look at glasses. I wish there were drops to un-dilate eyes before leaving the clinic.


StarStarStarStarStar Elk River Eye Clinic —    (Patient since Mon Jun 06 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

I purchased the same basic glasses for less than half that I was quoted from Elk River Eye Clinic. You are either really over charging your customer or you need to do a much better job of negotiating with your vendors. Either way I can't justify the extra cost because everyone is nice.


StarStarStarNo StarNo Star Customer Service —    (Patient since Fri Sep 27 00:00:00 MDT 2013)

I was happy with the appointment, but the phone conversation with the receptionist, Kelly, before the appointment was very poor costumer service. Tone of voice, lack of understanding my needs, and unfriendly response was not best practice for a receptionist in a customer service field of work. Everyone at Elk River Eye Clinic has been a pleasure to work with, but this one phone call has provided a different impact on my experience.


StarStarStarStarStar Excellent Service —    (Patient since Tue Jun 23 00:00:00 MDT 2015)

As a new patient, I felt the staff was very friendly and helpful in helping me find the right new glasses for me. Dr. Hess was very professional and explained things clearly to my understanding! Thank You


StarStarStarStarStar Competent staff —    (Patient since Tue Oct 18 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

This facility gives you a very complete exam, makes the patient comfortable, and explains the condition of your eyes in understandable terms. They also have some neat artwork in their hallways.

StarStarStarStarNo Star Yearly check-up —    (Patient since Mon Mar 21 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

My experience is always pretty good at your clinic. One thing you need to inform people of is that if you wear contact lenses, there is an additional $79 charge. That's a pretty expensive surprise after the exam. Let people know when they check in, or before, what the cost to them is going to be.

I live in St. Michael and the only reason I was brought to Elk River Eye Clinic is due to the restrictions from my insurance company. I was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, nice facility, advanced technology and the way I was treated. Now I am more than happy to make the drive to Elk River for eye appointments. Thanks!

I feel I always have Doctor Hoffard's full attention when He sees me.

In the past I have resisted ordering glasses from Elk River Eye Clinic because of cost. I decided to order this appointment. The staff was wonderful and easy to work with and I was ok with price even though I still felt like it was a touch high. My experience was very pleasant.

StarStarStarStarStar Great service, terrible documents —    (Patient since Wed Dec 10 00:00:00 MST 2014)

The people and the service are great. However, Their medical history forms are not good: They have too small of a font, especially for an eye patient! They dont leave enough room to enter the requested data, and they ask you to use erasable ink on a plastic form. Left-handed people are almost guaranteed to smear the whole thing. Some of the questions seem poorly thought out as well. What is the use of asking me if I have ever had a headache? I would expect every person on the planet to answer yes.


StarStarStarStarStar Excellent experience! —    (Patient since Tue Jul 24 00:00:00 MDT 2012)

Perfect appointment! As for question #5: I work for a lens manufacturer; so I have the best glasses/lens source I can get.

StarStarStarStarStar Pat Hovanetz survey —    (Patient since Thu Oct 30 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

I really liked the doctor who gave my exam. I think the resulting prescription will be very accurate. I had a lot of good advice in my selection of glasses as well. All in all, a very good experience.


StarStarStarStarStar Glasses Bonnie —    (Patient since Thu Sep 15 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

I liked the glasses picked out not sure if there are in my budget yet . Randi was most helpful with helping pick them out.

StarStarStarStarStar Lisa Whiting —    (Patient since Fri Oct 03 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

Number 5 didn't really apply for me I plan on coming in at a later date for glasses. I am just having a hard time deciding on style. Thanks!


StarStarStarStarStar Dr. Hess —    (Patient since Mon Sep 22 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

Dr.Hess was great and made me aware of what my eyes were doing. Great service :)


StarStarStarStarStar ? —    (Patient since Mon Jun 13 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

The doctor put drops in my eyes and left the room. Mi heard him next door giving another exam, and waited and waited for his return. I don't know exactly how long I waited, but I know it was too long. I spoke with someone at the desk, got my prescription, and left. After all that, the doctor was still with someone else.


StarStarStarStarStar Excellent servive —    (Patient since Mon Mar 21 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

Great place. All the staff and Dr. Hoffard are such professional and nice people.


StarStarStarStarStar My Visit  —    (Patient since Mon Aug 15 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

I didn't need new glasses, so purchase was needed!


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 MDT 2012)

I didn't select any glasses because I did t like any of the styles


StarStarStarStarStar Good Dr., very poor glasses value —    (Patient since Fri Nov 11 00:00:00 MST 2011)

Dr. Hess is very good. The only reason that I didn't get my glasses through you is because the last pair I bought from you were very expensive and did not work for me. I needed progressive lenses and the assistant there should have known that the lenses I picked were too small for that type of lense. I brought the glasses back several times telling staff that I could not see and they said that they were the right prescription and there wasn't anything they could do. So after this last visit I was going to get another pair of glasses and I told them about my last situation. Do you think they offered me a discount - no! I went and ordered my glasses somewhere else and saved 40% over your cost with digital progressive lenses. That is huge and you need to look into giving discounts and extending your service to include other discount vision plans.


StarStarStarStarStar Great clinic!! —    (Patient since Fri Sep 05 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

Visit appt was great and went well. #5 above, should have a response to indicate decision not to by glasses and/or not needed.

As always, I had a wonderful exam done by a group of excellent, professional individuals. It's nice to have such a good clinic, and such good people in the area. I always look forward to visiting the clinic!

StarStarStarStarStar Pleasant to work with —    (Patient since Fri Mar 28 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

This was my second time to Elk River Eye Clinic and was able to get an appointment right away as I had a concern which was great. Appreciate all the help and answering of my questions.

StarStarStarStarStar Quick —    (Patient since Mon Jun 16 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

Dr. Hoffard was able to get me in quickly and check out my eyes. Fortunately there was nothing seriously wrong and they were able to put me at ease.

StarStarStarStarStar Tim Franke Survey —    (Patient since Fri Jun 14 00:00:00 MDT 2013)

My issue was I paid $39 to get so e type of scan so I didn't need drops to dilate eyes. Doctor had wrong patient on computer so he put drops in. Then realized he didn't need to do this, so the rest of the afternoon I had eyes dilated and didn't need to. Was changed for this, thought that was bad customer service


StarStarStarStarNo Star Lens fitting —    (Patient since Mon Mar 21 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

I think it would be VERY helpful, and professional, to let people know that there is a charge, and how much, for a contact lens fitting. People need to have the option to decline a fitting if they don't feel it necessary.


StarStarStarStarStar Eye Clinic —    (Patient since Thu Jan 12 00:00:00 MST 2012)

Great Staff! Always helpful


StarStarStarStarStar After cataract —    (Patient since Mon Sep 19 00:00:00 MDT 2011)

It took quite a while to have my old prescription sunglasses changed to a new sunglasses without a prescription in them. It seemed like the woman helping me didn't understand the computer system for ordering. Very pleased with the rest of my experience there.


StarStarStarStarStar Exam —    (Patient since Mon May 20 00:00:00 MDT 2013)

Didn't need glasses or contacts. Had LASIK 2 years ago


StarStarStarStarNo Star Great Place —    (Patient since Wed May 21 00:00:00 MDT 2014)

This is a great place and was extremely satisfied with the staff and Dr. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is I have nva insurance for glasses and contacts and you do not accept that insurance.


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Tue Dec 17 00:00:00 MST 2013)

The Dr. and the staff here are so friendly and concerned about my eye care. This is my new clinic where I get personalized treatment every time I walk thru the door. Thank you. Tom Bitzer Tha

I was the only person in the your asablishment when I arrived for my appointment , after I finished my paper work, I still had to wait a good fifteen minutes before I was seen by the doctor. I thought that sucked. Everything else was excellent .
