Dr. Kelly really listens! She offers options and explains how and why they might help. I have extreme sensitivity to light but also have droopy lids. I asked if a second lid lift would help. She said No. That would let even more light inPatient Submitted Review

I was fortunate to get a “next day” appointment in the Eagan office with Dr Kelly and I was seen very timely, I was able to explain what I was feeling and Dr Kelly listened to my report and explained exactly what the situation is and how best to treat it. I received very thorough care instructions including guidance on using the medicated drops, how often, and for how many days. Dr Kelly even took time to explain what next steps would be if this initial treatment plan didn’t fully resolve my problem. I left with excellent information and a clear understanding of my duties for the next week! Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and very helpful! Great office front to back!Patient Submitted Review
