Dr. Wolner, he's a really excellent eye doctor. He does his business right. He knows what he's doing. He's really, really good. I'm glad I have him for an eye doctor. Okay. Thank you very much. Bye.

The only thing that I had trouble with was I send 2 messages last week to request appt but didn't get response so I called for the appt. When I mentioned this, Dr Wolner's nurse could find no evidence that either was received so I'm not sure what happened to those 2 messages.

Dr. Wolner is great. I have been seen by him for over 35 years since he was in private practice.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/8/2026
Dr. Wolner is a doctor that we trust with our eye care and have done so for years. The only reason we had to go elsewhere was because of insurance and now that our insurance has changed, we couldn't run back to him fast enough. He's an asset to your Gundersen Health or Amplify and we highly, highly recommend his eye care. Thank you.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/10/2026
I feel because my insurance paid $300 for a pair of glasses it was not necessary to charge me an additional $326.!

Very friendly personnel this time
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/2/2026
The Dr definitely knew what he was talking about.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/30/2026
The person that checked me in was very rude, initially told to to have a seat because she didn't have time for me. After my appointment I went to go look at glasses and she refused to look at my current frames and straighten them. I chose to take my prescription and order online. The ophthalmologist is fantastic if he did have such a rude team he would glow like he should!!

Very good doctor
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/28/2026
We came in for an exam, and we had ti wait until the next day to pick out glasses, which im glad we did wait because apparently our insurance wouldn't cover her glasses. I was told over the phone you excepted state insurance. After the exam we just left they didn't tell us to go to front desk and get paper work. We were told nothing, until the next day when we showed up to pick out glasses and was told they didn't except the insurance for glasses.

No perfect score given because no one is perfect
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/23/2026
My complaint isn't at all about my provider. My complaint is that Gundersen does not accept Blue Cross Blue Shield for anything anymore. So I'm going to have to pay out of pocket and I might have to switch providers because of it. That's all.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/23/2026
Way too much appointment follow up. Phone calls, text, email. I get it, you want to make sure someone shows up for an appointment but follow up was too much.

I waited in the room for over 30 minutes on both visits. When an appointment is set, I understand some kind of leeway, but both times in is completely unacceptable when I can hear the doctor just shooting the breeze in the next room. He's paid to be there, I'm not. I was on time for both appointments. I stood up to walk out, when he finally opened the door.

I love going to Gundersen for my optical needs. Dr. Wolner and the whole staff are really great. The folks helping size and order the glasses are terrific, too.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/3/2026
The doctor is great. My problem with the eye clinic is long waits. My appointment was for 1:30. I waited 15 minutes for the tech to come in. She was fine. At 2:15 she left the room and said the doctor would be right in. At 2:50 I had to go find someone who said she would get the doctor. He came in a few minutes later. At one appointment my time was 2:40. At 5:05 I had to go find someone. Like I said I really like the doctor. My frustration is with the long waits and at times I feel I am forgotten about.

Dr Wolner is excellent.

I have no clue why so much space was wasted at the front area. You may have to walk a distance from the lot and then when u get in another mile it seems I have copd so I'm really puffing when I get to the appt desk . Why not have some ck ins with their backs to the eye wear area. Just a thought along that area. We are all getting older . Thanks for listening

Dr. Wolner spent time with me and explained everything to me. I have an apptment in 6 months with him again. He is now my go to from now on. I had heard about him and have decided to have him as my new doctors. Had a nice visit with him and was not rushed which I appreciate. Superior experience and the two ladies are very experienced in their jobs. Dont loose them or Dr. Wolner..

Dr. Wollner was very thorough and very knowledgeable and very kind. And also the girl that helped me pick out my glasses was very patient. She let me look by myself for a while, but she was there to offer any advice or to ask questions. And I was done in a hurry because I could look by myself. And she was there if I needed her. So that was really good this time. So thank you very much.

This is not the first time that I have had to wait close to an hour to see the doctor. I would not recommend Gunderson Eye Clinic because this is disrespectful to the patient.
