Marissa A Garrels Kjos, OD

Dr Garrels Kjos was excellent. She took time to understand what I was looking for and provided options that I could easily access. This was one of my best experiences at Emplify. She was exceptional!

Great care!

Dr. Kjos was extremely kind and helpful. I felt like I learned a lot in my appointment with her.

The provider was very professional and cordial. Her friendly personality was much appreciated.

Dr. Garrels is wonderful. I appreciate not being rescheduled when my original Dr. had to be out of the office. Appreciate being given the option to see Dr. Garrels at the same time of my original appointment or reschedule with my original provider.

Dr. Marissa Garrels Kjos is excellent doctor and has a very welcoming and warm personality to make patient feel at ease.

Loved the substitute Dr. that did my appmt today. Wish she was permanent in Decorah.

Dr. Garrels was very thorough and took the time to explain everything that I could easily understand. I wish she was at our location all of the time.

My only regret is that she is not permanently in Decorah. I thought she was terrific, both in her style and in her medical advice/answers.

Great service with a caring attitude and friendliness.

Good exam, very through.

Marissa is AMAZING. Our favorite provider in your system!

I think everyone in the clinic should get a raise.

A quality service

Our provider was fantastic, she was kind , welcoming , and put me and my Son at ease. The nurse who did the initial test was amazing as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially parents.

The staff was excellent at the Prarie du chien office.

The walk-in clinic in the ophthalmology clinic was a life saver as I had a minor eye injury. I was able to have my eye examined, get answers about the injury, and have my worries about my earlier cataract surgery put at ease. From my check-in to my departure, the staff and doctor were welcoming, friendly, and extremely competent. I'd highly recommend this department. Five stars!

I was a walk-in. They were able to get me right in to see Dr. Garrels. It was late in the day and she took all the time needed to address the issue, explain things and answer all my questions. Everyone was wonderful!

The Dr I saw yesterday was great ! She definitely has a bright future. Very professional and knowledgeable. I will request to see her again

The eye Dr. nurse was the best nurse you could ask for, she can check my eyes every day and it would never get old... professional smart and knowledgeable and funny and so very nice. The world needs more people like that, it would be a better world. The Dr did a great job too.

Dr. Marissa explained things thoroughly and in a very understandable way. She treated me as if I were the most important person at that moment. One of the best doctors I've ever had.

Yes, the appointment was really good. Everybody was really good. But I am waiting to hear back from the retina doctor who was supposed to call sometime about my, about further appointment. And I just think that being it's my eyes, that should be taken care of sooner than waiting for somebody to call me back. So I would like that appointment made. Thank you. Bye.

Dr. Garrels was very thorough!

All team members were friendly, professional and very helpful.

The assistant and Dr were wonderful and 'human'. One of the best teams ever.

Being a walk in with no appointment was good.

I've always had great interactions with all the staff at the Decorah and Calmar clinics. Top Notch!!

All very efficient

That doctor was just excellent in dealing with elderly people. Just excellent.

Easy entry and accessing Dr. Very professional and satisfactory appointment.

I really liked this doctor

This provider,she was awesome wish I could have her for my year exam so helpful and kind and explained clearly what was the issue and actually took the time to explain what I needed do to help my eye. Meant alot as I was concerned about my vision!!

My experience was just exceptional. She listened intently. She had the answers. She showed me exactly how my eyes responded, the film that captured the back of it and showed me that, what is the pluses and the minus. I left feeling so confident and understanding of my particular diagnosis that I felt tremendously relief lifted off my shoulders and know I'm going in the right direction. She was absolutely exceptional. Thank you.

Great!

Best eye doc visit ever!

Marissa was great! Definitely recommended.

I was treated with respect and genuine kindness. Everyone was professional and efficient.

Very nice experience and everyone was really nice

Felt really cared for, grateful!

Everyone at the Gunderson Eye clinic in Adams are wonderful. I have recommended them to my friends and family

I'm glad I decided to come to the eye department at Emplify.

It was a great eye exam, I learned alot.

Very good, very caring

I came to this eye exam with several concerns regarding eye discomfort and unusual (for me) symptoms. Dr.Kjos took a lot of time to rule out more serious eye issues and was reassuring and thorough in her exam. She took a lot of time to make certain I understood what she was doing and to explain the source of my symptoms. I really appreciated her knowledge and the time she took making certain I understood what was happening. She was also really reassuring throughout the exam. She is a really wonderful provider.

Professional, informative and friendly staff -

My appointment was a follow up to the YAG I had in LaCrosse which was a three hour round trip. Emplify should provide the equipment needed to provide this treatment in Friendship.
