About

Care Philosophy

I focus on taking care of my patients by listening to their concerns and tailoring their eyesight needs to maximize their daily life. I also aim to educate my patients so they feel well-equipped in understanding their diagnosis/prognosis and treatment plan.

Personal Statement

A native of Minnesota, I moved to the Driftless Region with my husband after completing my optometry degree and have been here ever since. I have three children. I enjoy all Minnesota sports. I love staying active by running, hiking and playing sports with my kids.

    Charging for MyChart now is extremely disappointing. I think you can send messages for 7 days after an appointment but I think I should also get some complimentary to use through out the year. Maybe 4 one each quarter. Quartz is no longer the Gundersen I remember. It used to be patient first now it's a bunch of my chart messages hassling me before my appt to pay. I have insurance. It's unfortunate.

    The only downside of my visit was the wait in the exam room between the time of my initial exam by a technician, and the meeting with the Doctor. The time between the technician leaving the exam room, and the Doctor entering the exam room was almost 25 minutes. The Doctor did apologize for the amount of time I had to wait, but the wait time I felt was a little excessive.

In addition to her cheerful exuberance, she has the professional knowledge combined with the ability to gauge a patients background and to discuss the exam results in a way that everyone can truly understand. And, at the same time establish a dialog back and forth such that all possible questions are answered. But, most of all, Dr. Clements goes far beyond what would be our understanding of a normally scheduled visit. She is certainly a perfect 10 out of 10 in our books.
