My husband and I visited St. Paul Eye Clinic yesterday. From the phone call to schedule to the goodby at the front desk, again, everything went smoothly. Friendly and competent staff, clean and well staffed in the waiting area. The eye care team was thorough and compassionate. Most of the work is done by a trained professional prior to seeing Dr. Horkey. Dr. is an amazing professional. I feel very lucky to have him taking care of my vision needs. He fixed my cataracts a year ago. And my visit with him was wonderful, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Horkey and the other doctors. Don’t forget to bring your sunglasses.Patient Submitted Review

Kayla was amazing. She took time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions above and beyond. She was personable, knowledgeable and kind. I was very happy that she read my chart prior to the exam, which rarely happens. I was even more excited that she took time with me knowing she likely hat other patients waiting for her, but made me feel like a priority. Of all the many years I've been going to this location, she has been the best person there!Patient Submitted Review
