Dr. Patrick Riedel is a board-certified partner of Minnesota Eye Consultants. He is fellowship-trained in the medical and surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts. In addition, he is specifically trained in multiple refractive surgery techniques such as LASIK, PRK, and refractive implant lenses.
Dr. Riedel graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College in 1987 where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He continued his education by attending the University of Minnesota Medical School. While there he received multiple scholarships for merit and was elected to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha honor society in his third year. He served as the president of this organization during his last year of medical school.
After completing an internship year at Hennepin County Medical Center, he then pursued his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Iowa, consistently ranked one of the top five ophthalmology training programs in the nation. He served as chief resident during the last six months of his residency.
Dr. Riedel continued his sub-specialty training, completing glaucoma and cataract surgery fellowships at the University of Utah John Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, and has been in practice since 1998.
As an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Riedel is actively involved in the clinical and surgical education of residents and fellows. He is an instructor in ocular pharmacology at Regions Hospital, and a consultant for the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Minneapolis. He frequently lectures to local and regional ophthalmologists and optometrists and serves as an examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology, the credentialing organization for physicians seeking to practice ophthalmology.
Dr. Riedel has multiple professional affiliations, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, the Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology, and the American Glaucoma Society. He is actively involved in both clinical and surgical research studies and has written book chapters and published research articles.

I especially appreciate Dr. Riedel's careful explanation of what to expect, what the risks and benefits are for different cataract surgeries (which is also in writing), and his confidence that he and the MELSC staff could do their best for me in the path I chose.
Surgery went great with Dr Riedel and so did my follow-up next day with Dr Johnson. Great team at MN Eye Consultants, everyone was super friendly and helpful.
Very caring for his patients.
Caring, friendly and professional doctor.
I have much confidence in his expertise. He is brief, clear and has a tremendous staff who does their job so that doctor can focus his time on what he needs to do.It was obvious to me that he had been informed of needed information before he saw me and was ready to begin his work.
Friendly, kind and listens to what you tell him.
He doesn't waste your time (or his), yet he gives his undivided attention, answers every question and gives you the confidence that you're in the best of hands. Highly recommend.
Loved the entire experience.
Just had procedure this morning
Very thorough. Professional.
