Very good experience with support from the front door upon entry and exit with the pca on duty
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/2/2026
This was my fist appt in about 15 years, primarily due to fear of folks being around my eyes, and though a routine/basic exam, Dr. Laliberte made this experience seamless and enjoyable. A very kind and easy going provider and would trust her with any future optometry needs. Thank you!

I was impressed with the service I received. The front desk staff was very helpful. The doctor answered all my questions and treated me with respect. I was really concerned about why my eye sight was changing and she explained what was going on. She cared about my health and my questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/24/2026
This was my first visit with my new eye doctor. Dr. Laliberte-Lorenz was exceptional! She provided me with eye health information that my previous eye doctor did not bother to share with me the few years that I had seen her. I am very grateful to have found such an excellent and very caring doctor. Lucky me! :)

Dr. Laliberte was most thorough eye doctor I have ever had. She answered my questions completely. She was great! I hope I can continue to see her:)

She was an awesome doctor and if you can acknowledge her that would be great! I don't have a lot of good experiences with your hospital or clinic but she was an exception!

She was very good at being an eye doctor and she was very cordial, friendly, and just very good all around. She was the first time I saw her and I will be going back.

Awesome ?

This was my 1st appointment with Stephanie, and I would rate my visit 10++++. From the minute Stephanie walked in the room, I knew I would like her. She had a very friendly smile, a warm handshake and a very welcoming and friendly demeanor. She listened to my concerns, addressed them and answered my questions thoroughly and in a way I knew she really cared. I will definitely return to her for my annual eye exam, and I know I can contact her with additional questions or concerns if I have them.

Very knowledgeable and helpful Doctor. Easy to understand and listened well to my concerns.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/24/2026
Very friendly people and the building was very clean and enjoyable to be in.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/24/2026
The young girl who checked me in and out, was busy doing on line shopping, for dresses. I apologized for interrupting her time. Very unprofessional. I'm getting fed up with not being able to tell the staff from the patients. Your automated phone calls for reminding don't work and haven't for some time. Neither lady at the desk was able to give me information on any questions. The doctor told me one thing and they said something different.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/20/2026
Awesome experience, have only had one eye doctor in my lifetime. My new doctor was great and everything I was hoping for.

it was fun

I was pleasantly shocked at the system of providing an earlier appointment when it became available. I was able to schedule the eye exam two days after I made the appointment. The staff was super.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/14/2026
I felt my appointment went smooth and quickly. The provider and technician were very nice and easy to talk to and understand. I would tell people to go to them.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/14/2026
This Dr. made my day. I was thinking the worse of my eyes. She solved my problem. Made me feel better.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/14/2026
The big miss for me was not being informed about having my eyes dilated. Drops were administered and I got a little concerned that I was losing my sight, a simple explanation of what was about to happen would have sufficed. Lastly adding this detail when making an appointment could help avoid losing time after the appointment due to not having great sight. Other than that care was great. Thank you
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/12/2026
Dr. Laliberte-Lorenz was phenomenal! She took time to answer my questions, was genuinely kind and has such a bubbly personality! I highly recommend her to anyone. I could tell that she is a compassionate and caring individual. I'm excited to see her again next year.

This was the first time I met Ms. Lorenz, my previous provider was retiring. Ms. Lorenz was very professional, explained thing well, very thorough in her exam. She had a lot of confident , caring energy.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/7/2026
My first visit with the new Dr., she was very nice and informative. I think I will be very happy with her as a replacement for Dr. Lorenz whom I have had for several years. Congrats to her on her retirement also!

I was late for my appointment and would have understood if I would have had to reschedule it but the Doctor said she could work me in and she did! My appointment was not rushed a the Doctor and staff were extremely courteous and helpful. This being my very first eye appointment I was very happy with the answers to my questions and concerns. Thank You!

Pleased with complete experience.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/1/2026
The only negative comment was the long wait for the doctor to show up. Rather than have your patients wait for 35 or 45 minutes in the exam room maybe schedule fewer appointments to right size the doctors work load
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/30/2025
Everyone was very friendly and caring from the check in person to the Doctor. I followed Dr. Laliberte from Winona Health to Emplify as I really appreciate her care and wonderful personality.

Dr. Laliberte was fantastic. I had a lot of questions and concerns about a condition that I was experiencing and she took all the time that I needed and reassured me that we would look into it and also explained what the next phase would be in terms that I could understand and I really appreciated that. So I was really happy to see her and would like to continue to see her in the future. Thank you.

I had a wonderful experience with the team and I feel that we need more people like these beautiful people in this world who are so kind and caring and supportive individuals.

We followed Dr. Stephanie from Winona Health. She is an amazing provider who truly cares for her patients. She treats my daughter so well and explains every step of the process as they do it. She also takes time to answer any questions my daughter or I have, and explains them so we understand. She always makes us feel comfortable and welcome. She always makes sure we have answers to all of our questions before we leave, and we know that we can contact her for any questions or issues that would come up. Her follow-up is great and we couldn't ask for a better provider!

Asking about being treated as "a unique person" seems stupid to me. I'm one of dozens of people they see in a day. I was treated well. That's all that matters. If I'm missing some specific thing you're looking for, word the question differently.
