Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic Reviews ( 250 )

  1. Everyone who worked on me was courteous, explained and question I had in detail, explained what they were doing in detail and everyone was smiling.

  2. Had visited to determine what the issue was that didn’t allow me to have LASIK performed. Was impressed when I was shown the pictures of my eyes, so I could see for myself.

  3. I would highly recommend this place to everyone in need of eye care. The staff has always been very professional in their care of my eyes and answering my questions.

  4. Charges you a 40 dollar “contact maintenance fee” if you look into getting contacts and you don’t order them through there. Unbelievable. And they don’t tell you about it.

  5. Very happy with my visit to Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic and with Dr Vieth. I have a strong family history of eye problems and Dr Vieth reassured me that my eyes look healthy!

  6. I had an appointment with Dr Kristine Lambert and was very pleased by her thorough exam and explanations of what she was looking for and finding. I highly recommend her!

  7. Gf had eye surgery and Had to wait almost 1 hour just for a work excuse which they messed up with the date we called the day before and they said they would have it ready to go the next day needless to say we get there nothing was ready …

  8. They were very professional, prompt with the time, and answered questions that I had. Will be very happy to continue being a patient of Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic. Jim Biesterveld

  11. Generations of family members have been seeing Dr Hofer at Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic for years. He simply is the best, most caring doctor you could ask for!

  12. Just a Number… I arrived early, only to find out they allowed other people that had appointments scheduled after mine to go in front of me (found this out when I asked about my wait). After 1/2 hour they saw me but ran me through so fast …

  13. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. They specialize in everything that could go wrong with your eyes, have amazing employees, are caring, and go the extra mile to make sure every avenue is covered in making sure your sight is at close to perfect as possible. I can’t say enough great things!

  14. Dr. Vieth is very good and knows his stuff. The staff for eyeglasses and contact pick up is another story. I hope I never have to deal with that type of customer service again. Very disappointing and not helpful.

  15. I would highly recommend Dr Lang. And his staff. He has restored my sight in one of my eyes. I have complet confidence in the work Dr Lang and his staff do. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU.

  16. The people who work there are so friendly and thorough in the eye exams and in helping pick out glasses! We will definitely keep going there for our eye exams!

  20. My wait time was about 10 minutes, the technician and nurse were polite and efficient and the doctor spent adequate time doing the exam and answering my questions. This has been my experience at multiple appointments.

  21. Finally an eye Dr. who understood my Entropian. I had been treated at another facility and spent 3 years in misery. Dr Jarecki understood the problem immediately. Surgery is scheduled. Thank God!

  22. Chippawa Valley Eye Clinic is a great place for eye care. Staff are accommodating and well trained. Doctor appointments are punctual. Doctors are highly educated and skilled for routine procedures and delicate surgery. Patients are …

  31. I have used the services of a few of the doctors at the clinic. Most recently I have used the services of Dr. Buntrock & his team. They are a top notch professional team. Dr. Buntrock’s treatment of my ongoing retinal problems has made …

  32. The staff at Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic are top notch. They treat you with respect and kindness. Thank you Dr. Harvey for the gift of sight. There is no doubt how much you care about each and every patient that you treat.

  39. Have always had positive experiences with doctor but the front desk/billing leaves a lot to be desired. Have gone here every year for nearly 10 years now (sometimes more than once/year) and they have yet to process insurance correctly. The excuse “new people at front desk” is given every time.

  40. Everyone at the clinic was professional, efficient, and friendly. My procedure was quick and painless, I was in and out very quickly and the doctor was friendly and informative.

  41. While on a road trip back through where I grew up, I had some issues with my eyes and pulled in here as I was stopping for coffee next door. Jodee at the front desk was so helpful and able to get me in shortly. The nurse before I saw the …

  42. Dr. Vieth and the rest of the staff did a great job, especially in light of the fire at their facility and being in a borrowed location. I was treated great and was given all pertinent information as my exam proceeded. Highly recommend!

  43. Mt appointment with Dr. Hofer, as all my appointments with Dr. Dow were, was excellent. He provides information on my eye health and treatments and answers all my questions thoroughly. I have complete confidence in him and appreciate the efficiency and friendliness of all staff.

    Thank you Dr. Harvey and thank you to his surgical staff for the great care and …

  52. These are very nice folks. The day I was there they were running a little behind but considering what is happening with the pandemic, it is not anything to be bothered by. The medical assistant that we saw had an incredibly good sense of humor and was very fast and efficient at what she did.

  53. The staff at Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Hofer is not only an excellent physician, he is very friendly and personal as well. I don’t ever feel rushed, he thoroughly answers any questions I have, and I truly believe that he cares about me as a person and a patient.

  60. I’ve been using Chippewa Valley Eye Clinic for probably 40 + years and my experience with them is not be super. I get results and never had to worry about my requests going unanswered. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing eye care. Remember you only have one set of eyes to treat them the best you can with CVEC.

  61. The temporary clinic is a very nice facility and the staff is very courteous and helpful. I was seen and finished in short time. Physician is very personable as well! Tho my exam was sometimes difficult I had an enjoyable experience due to interaction with everyone!

  62. Wouldn’t even give this place 1 star. I went to call to set up an appointment because of a dog attack and the lady on the phone asked if I can hold, I said “yes, of course.” I proceeded to wait 7+ minutes.. then I realized the clinic closed …
