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.

This department ran on time. Everyone listened to me and answered all my questions. They were friendly and patient.

I'm a difficult person to satisfy and from check in to my final consult everyone addressed my human side. To me that's a big deal.......keep up the good work.

Doctor Clements was very kind and answered all my questions. She explained that I had dry eyes and helped me choose the appropriate drops. I was very pleased!

Problems getting into. My Chart

I wish I could remember his name, but the technician who did my exam before the doctor saw me was just excellent! So personal, kind and enough humor to make me feel relaxed. Highly recommend him, A+ customer service.

First time visit with this provider (previous provider retired) and this new provider was wonderful. Very thorough, discussed some questions with her and she took her time with me to explain everything and felt very comfortable with her. Her tech was wonderful too .

Dr. Clements explains all the options well, and seems to care about my well being!

Using My Chart was not as easy as it had been . It changed to Emplifiy and it was harder to log into.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/15/2026
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.

I appreciate being able to get into my appointment on time and not having a long wait like with other providers at Gunderson.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/19/2026
Dr. Sarah Clements is very knowledgeable, had a very efficient person working with her to prep me, and discovered a problem with my actual glasses immediately. The nose pieces were bent to wide apart and that kept the helpful part of the lens not in the proper place. I go to Onalaska just to see her. Dr. Clements has a great personality as well the as the know how.

I am always pleased with the way my visit goes with Dr Clements. She explains things very well and is so friendly. I wish she were back in downtown clinic though. She tells me she can recommend someone down there but I wouldn't want anyone but her.

Love Dr. Clements. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and always makes me comfortable.

Pharmacy related: MyChart for order prescriptions and tracking where they are in the mail is lacking what customer experience is with other mobile apps.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/20/2026
Everyone was so accommodating and made us feel welcome. My husband has dementia and Parkinson's so it can be a challenge at times. They took the time needed and treated him with respect and kindness.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/16/2026
Excellent encounter.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2026
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.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2026
The check in area had a strong perfume presence which can trigger allergies.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2026
Dr. Clements did great with my child. She talked to her directly to answer questions rather than relying on me as the parent. She listened attentively and made small talk to help ease the appointment as well. The person who did the eye exam prior to the provider was also amazing. You can tell both her and the provider are comfortable working with children. Thank you for making this experience great.

The check in questions seem excessive. It would be nice if there was an option to have one click if nothing has changed since last visit

Wow, I can say that Dr. Sarah Clements is one GREAT Doctor to work with! 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.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/19/2026
the person that checked me in insisted I pay for my visit before leaving. said it isn't covered under insurance. the doctor told me not to worry about it, that the eye exam IS covered under medical and normal. Receptionist need a bit more training sometimes.

Dr. Clements is very knowledgeable, efficient, compassionate and personable. She has a good sense of humor which helps lighten any potential issues for me. Dr. Clements explains things in a way that I can understand. She is persistent in tracking issues with my eyes and purses any potential complication quickly. I like her and recommend her to anyone looking for an eye doctor.

The care team in the Onalaska eye clinic was very kind. I had called for a last-minute appt. and they got me in right away.

Dr. Clements was wonderful. Vision can be tricky for me to understand, but she explained it in clear, simple terms, and it made sense! She was upbeat, anticipated my future needs, provided resources, and made sure all my concerns were addressed. I felt like I could trust her because she explained her rationale for decisions and spoke with confidence. Thank you!

Dr. Clements and her technician were not only very professional, but the appointment was fun. That's a great combination now a days.

The tech and optometrist were wonderful with our child. Our child is highly inquisitive, curious about the human body, and asks a lot of questions.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/14/2025
While I don't mind answering all the questions for the check in process, I would think once would be sufficient unless something has changed. I had more than one appointment and had to go through the whole question process each time. There must be a better way, other than refusing to respond at all.

The person whom checked me and examined my eyes before I saw my dr. in was extremely kind and respectful to me. I rarely feel so comfortable and safe around providers whom I have no already established trust with. Dr. Sarah C was as always a phenomenal provider, kind, respectful, and interested in me as a person (she even remembered to ask me about my pets!)
