The reviews listed below were collected independently of Minnesota Eye Consultants through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Friendly and upbeat demeanor. Appears always in a hurry. It would be nice if he spent a little more calm time with me during pre and post surgery review. Overall feel confident with his knowledge and skills so glad I got him

Very disappointing visit. After going through all the examination components I was told that he did not want to do the cataract surgery and I needed to start all over again with Dr. Harten. . When I had my initial consult with Dr. Hobbs, I had asked her if I needed to go back to Dr. Harten and she said no any other surgeons could do cataract surgery. Having intacts was not a big deal.

Took time to explain and answer questions. Very impartial with advice on proceeding with operation. Actually convinced me to postpone!

This was the recent visit in Minnetonka for visual field test. The tech did excellent and she explained more during this test than any other has done in the past. Made me feel a little better during it. Tell her thank you please.
