The reviews listed below were collected independently of St. Paul Eye Clinic through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
This provider is trying to see too many patients over the course of the day. I estimate waiting 30 min for this provider to enter the exam room. May value with productivity patient satisfaction.

Aug-2024
Dr. Alex did a great job with my surgery and follow up. He really made a difference for me and I was impressed by him on many levels.
My only suggestion is that Dr. Alex wait for his patient to stop talking before he leaves an exam room. I understand he's on a tight schedule but, I got cut off mid-sentence as the appt ended. It gave me the feeling I was just a number. Prior to that moment, everything was great.
Thanks.

He saved me from eventual blindness. Very kind and friendly doctor. Highly recommended.
Jul-2024
Dr Ringeisen recently changed to a different eye drop for the macular degeneration injections. This was a very wise decision in my opinion. My mother suffered greatly when she had to have her injections. So much so that she didn’t want to continue the treatment any longer. But now with the new eye drops, she is recovering quite comfortably. I am hopeful she will continue with the injections and prolong her vision.
Jul-2024

May-2024
Dr. Ringeisen does not spend enough time on explaining "what to do after the shot and what to expect". I had to ask to get the answer and the response was not satisfactory. I'm planning to switch to a different provider. I even asked a technician, she responded "everything is explained in the handout given during your first visit". I did not think this is a professional response.

My wife and I thought he was very cavalier about my eye problem and surgery was no big deal even though blindness is a side-effect in 1% of cases. Maybe he is a good surgeon but he is not good at making patients feel better.

Dr. Alex Ringeisen, MD is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and fellowship-trained in Vitreoretinal Surgery, VitreoRetinal Surgery, PA, Minneapolis, MN. He earned their medical degree from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, and completed their residency at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
"When it comes to patient care, my goal is to teach patients and their families about vitreoretinal disorders and to have each patient be actively involved in their treatment plan.
As a college student, I traveled to Mexico on a medical mission trip. I was impressed by the immediate impact that eye surgeons could provide to their patients. As a retinal surgeon, I have the privilege of treating the most complex and intellectually stimulating eye disorders."
This provider is trying to see too many patients over the course of the day. I estimate waiting 30 min for this provider to enter the exam room. May value with productivity patient satisfaction.
