I was disappointed in the wait time. My appointment time was 8:20 and the provider didn't come into the room until 9:20. The wait is consistently an issue at this clinic.

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 Brad is the best! He talks with me about how things are going with me. He really cares about his patient. I trust my sight to him, and walk away very satisfied with my tests.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/16/2025
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.

The "check-in" ask comes way too early.

They were behind schedule had to wait for some time. I am not really upset about it, because I understand things happen. But just thought I would mention it as some people are not as patient. Love Dr Wolner

Had to wait a long time. After the first person who worked with me I waited nearly 40 minutes until the doctor came in. That was too long in an uncomfortable seating arrangement.

I had an appointment at 1:40. Met with the technician from 1:40 to 2:00. She dilated my eyes and the doctor did not see me until 2:50. 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.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/3/2025
I felt bad because I forgot to check out. Did not even think about it until I got home.

I was pleased to be seen so soon. The technician I first saw was thorough and recorded the information. Dr. Wolner was also very thorough and examined my eyelid and explained what it was, chalazion, and the cause. He suggested further treatment and offered follow up if needed and said I could message him with any questions. Good experience.

Too many reminders and texts about upcoming visit. Otherwise, all good.

I think when you have an appointment at a scheduled time, you should be seen within at least a half an hour. My last visit was 55 minutes I waited.

Outstanding service with a 'try to please' attitude. From start to finish I felt very welcomed and there was no objection to not making my co-pay upfront. That was a wonderful benefit for someone who has to budget bills on fixed social security. It makes me feel that Gunderson is more concerned for my health than any corporate pocketbook. Thank you.
