A very good visit. Makes patients feel confident in care.

I pre-registered online but new insurance information may not have transferred in. The pre registration took longer than I thought it should.

You don't take VSP. Sad face.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/5/2026
I felt that I had a thorough exam. The technician was very efficient and didn't waste any time. Dr. Tomlinson went over everything and did a thorough exam and addressed my issue with dry eyes. We had help with choosing new frames. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend the Eye Clinic to my friends and family.

Great to have eye care in Wabasha.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/26/2026
My visit was for an eye exam follow-up. I wish I could have been told I would NOT have my eyes dilated so I could have driven myself instead of having someone drive me.

Jennie is an exceptional doctor. Extremely thorough, had actually read my chart and knew my medical history, explained things in layman's terms and was just plain a pleasure to have as my eye expert.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/6/2026
Jennie is just great-very personable and also knowledgeable! She was very willing to meet me where I was with my eyesight and offered reassurance that all the changes I am noticing are normal parts of aging that I am addressing appropriately. A great addition to the Wabasha team!!!

Both the doctor and the nurse were excellent. Very friendly and personable. I was very happy that I switched from who I was seeing prior.

Excellent, friendly and thorough.

Both the nurse that did the initial assessment and Dr. Tomlinson were kind, efficient and delightfully communicative. Two Thumbs Up.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/24/2026
First time to eye Dr. in years and it was a great experience. I felt relaxed with the people.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/25/2026
I waited in the waiting room there for a half hour before I got to see the doctor. That's the only thing I got to say about that. Other than that, everything was good, but I had to wait in a chair to get my eyes checked for a half hour before I seen a doctor. That's it. Goodbye.

Dr Tomlinson is great. She is knowledgeable and super friendly. Highly recommend
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/19/2025
I thought Jennie Tomlinson was outstanding. I've already recommended her to a number of my friends and family. The only thing I would suggest is your pre-appointment intake information that you send online having to answer all of those repetitive questions, especially if you have numerous appointments within days of each other. I would suggest eliminating that.

The Eye Department, what a awesome team. Everyone is so friendly.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/14/2025
I didn't find a couple of people who worked with me to be as profesional as I'm used to. Kind, yes. Fast and quick does not equate with profesional to me. I expect good language skills from profesional as well. Overall, I did like the procedures and how much smarter eye vision evaluation was done. Perhaps my attitude needs adjusting. I'm aging, but I'm smart, well educated and not slow...seemed that's what they were expecting from me.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/14/2025
Extremely kind staff
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/11/2025
The check in person was not the best. She was busy and she should have said something about being with me shortly but just kept typing away ignoring me.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/6/2025
The only thing that I don't like is that they do not accept my insurance when it comes to the purchase or frames or lenses. I need to go to a different place to use my insurance for the purchase of new glasses. Sure I can get glasses from the Gundersen location BUT my insurance isn't used, I'd need to pay standard cost.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/6/2025
I'm more than satisfied with my care through Gundersen

Dr Tomlin is very caring, knowledgeable and professional. I feel totally comfortable with her. I feel she provided me with best possible appointment and I completely trust her with my eye health.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/29/2025
I was greeted with smiles at every turn. Dr Tomlinson was professional and friendly. She explained everything about my eyes and made sure I could call if I had any questions. She took the time I needed to process everything. I will continue to trust her with my eyes.

Everyone explained what was happening with details. So Nice and was concerned about my issues, which I got answers.

My chart is very hard to use
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/12/2025
As a first time experience with Dr. Tomlinson, I was quite pleased with her knowledge and friendliness. I was excited to know that she will be able to come to Wabasha in the future for a shorter commute as I live in that community.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/5/2025
I had a very good experience however the attendant did not inform me as to when I could expect the amount of time my new glasses would be expected to arrive. I had to back track when my attendant was with another patient. I was very pleased with the overall care and concern I was treated and would highly recommend Gundersen eye clinic to my friends and family.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/5/2025
The assistant was very rude about not having my eyes dilated when the doctor said every couple of years is fine.

The people are great but the number of reminders from my chart are overwhelming, I don't think so many reminders need to be text out

Dr. Tomlinson is amazing. She listened to all of my concerns, and took time to answer all of my questions.

Consult with Eye dr. Was fantastic. Dr. Tomlinson. Eve glass consultant was fantastic. Told me the truth, was not in it to make a big sale. She listened and understood what I wanted.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2025
Dr. Tomlinson is thorough, kind, clear and seems to really care about her patients. It's unnerving to have age related vision issues, and I'm glad to have found her to take care of my eyes in this stage of life.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2025
Very happy with the exam and my optometrist Jennie Tomlinson, I feel I am in good hands with one of the best!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2025
Dr Tomlinson is excellent in every detail. I had trouble with getting access to MyChart with the 'double verification' or whatever it is called- I haven't tried it again yet, but it seemed to have a lack of user friendliness.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/1/2025
Dr Tomlinson is the very best. An avid listener, full of medical knowledge and teaches you about your disease and promotes continued health. Your organization is very privileged to have you, and so am I.
