The reviews listed below were collected independently of Northwest Eye through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Doctor Heersink was a spectacular healthcare provider. She provided clear, concise explanations of the exam and results in future testing possibly needed. She was very thorough and took the time to listen to any questions I had and answer them fully. I could not have been more pleased with the exam today..

I was seen 45 minutes late for an 8:45 am appointment. Went for a skin tab on my eyelid (I made it very clear and I assumed it was written down when I made the appointment) and she wanted to do a full vision exam which I had the week before at another clinic. She said she “had to do her job”. I asked her if she could just take care of skin tab and she said she couldn’t, asked me if I wanted to cancel this appointment I said yes). The she said she needed to refer me to another doctor at the clinic for the skin tab. I’m having it taken care of elsewhere.

Dr. Heersink was very professional, thorough, and personable. This was my first time meeting her, and I was confident in her knowledge, the way that she interacted with me and performed her evaluation.

Disappointed with this visit. Long wait to be called in to the doctor after doctor had been standing in the hall chatting with other employees for 15-20 minutes. Then she had 3 patients stacked up in exam rooms waiting to see her. I was number 3, last to be seen. When she came in she did not explain my condition to me very well and suggested surgery would remove the cyst. When she tried to look in my eyes she said my eyes were not dilated so she couldn’t examine them today- I could have the drops put in now and wait longer or come back another day to do it all over again. After talking to the office manager about my frustrating experience SHE explained more to me about my eye condition than the doctor did. Not cool
