I was "legally blind" due to cataracts. Dr. Kelly did a MAGNIFICENT JOB of removing the cataract on my left eye and replacing my lens! My vision is now 20/25 in my left eye! She will be doing surgery to remove the cataract on my right eye and replacing that lens soon. I am EXCITED to be able to see clearly again! No wonder Dr. Alla Kelly is rated as a "TOP DOCTOR" in Minnesota!

I had to leave and didn’t get to see her. I waited for 1 and 1/2 hours. I had another appointment to get to so had to leave. I feel that is way too long to wait and it is a pattern every time I see her.

The process is very fluid. They have so many people to help move the process forward of fixing people's eyes. We're grateful) for the attention they pay to everyone's eye circumstances.

I chose ophthalmology because it gave me the ability to help patients both in the clinical and surgical settings. As a medical student, I had the opportunity to observe eye surgery and it gave me a better understanding of the anatomy of the eye, which I still find absolutely fascinating.
Now, as a practitioner, providing the highest quality of care for my patients is one of my best qualities, which requires patience, excellent surgical skill, and great communication skills. By collaborating together, I help patients understand what is happening with their eyes and give them the confidence of knowing they are in good hands for their eye care.
I especially enjoy being able to make a drastic difference in a patient’s quality of life by performing cataract and corneal surgery (for which I have sub-specialty training), and guiding them through the process before, during, and after.
