Great experience. Staff was wonderful and caring. Dr. Park did A perfect job on my eye. Everyone involved made me feel very comfortable.

I've done all of my eye exams here since being a kid and they have the best doctors and care. After careful consideration, I decided LASIK was the best option for me. Dr. Park and his team were extremely thorough in the multiple appointments prior to the surgery and presented my options for patient care. The ease in scheduling, medical experience and my personal experience were all of the reasons why I chose to go with Associated Eye Care for LASIK and will return for future care.

Didn't have an appointment but issue with my eye. The staff was able to get me in to see Dr. She examined my eye and suggested drops. If it still was bother some make and appointment and come back

Associated Eye Care Clinic is very professional. From the minute you walk through their front door they treat you with respect. Everyone there wants to make they discover accurate information concerning your eyes.

I waited a month to get into the Stillwater location, and a few days before my appointment, I received a reminder email which had switched my appointment to the Hugo location without informing or asking me. I had waited a month for this appointment because I specifically wanted the Stillwater location. When I called, they could not fix it and had no explanation.

I have used Associated Eye Care as my primary optometrist for several years. I was pretty disappointed with my last experience. I scheduled an appointment and was billed $286 for an eye care visit. I waited for my insurance to go through, but got concerned once I got a collections notice. Despite my insurance not changing and their website saying they accept Medica, Associated Eye Care decided to stop accepting my insurance, but did not mention this when I scheduled my appointment or when I gave them my insurance card upon check-in. Additionally, I told them I have dry eyes.

They charged me $60 per eye for a tear osmolarity test to confirm I have dry eyes, but didn't do anything about it. So I guess I just paid $120 for a doctor to tell me I have dry eyes--something I already knew. Overall, I think the employees here are just as much sales people as they are doctors. Keep that in mind when they try to sell you lasik or a test you probably don't need. Luckily I can't cry about the bill because my tear osmolarity is so high.
