I really Dr. Rand’s patients with my little eight-year-old boy. He did an excellent job with him. Little people can kind of be intimidated by all the gadgets, very professional and took his time with us very much appreciated.!

He takes the time to hear me to examine me and to diagnose me and I wouldn’t wanna go to anyone else. His bedside manner is excellent.

Worst experience I’ve ever had there. Absolutely treated us different and terribly once he found out we are Medicaid. In fact he was so condescending and out right dismissive that we will no longer be going to Dakota Eye. It’s unfortunate since we’ve been there 15 years. 0/5

Efficient & Great Service
Dr. Ranun is excellent! He is friendly, gives a thorough exam, and is to the point. I appreciated the quick, yet comprehensive, appointment.
