Nestled amid the scenic beauty of this river town, we invite you to explore the wonders it holds, including the majestic Mississippi River, Hiking Bluffs, Sheldon Theatre, and the Central Park Bandshell. Just a short 45-minute drive from the Twin Cities, our location offers convenience and a perfect blend of urban and small-town charm.

Embracing a philosophy that values work-life balance, we believe Red Wing is the ideal place to achieve it.

At our practice, we are dedicated to delivering top-tier eye care. While we may be part of a franchise, we pride ourselves on being privately owned, maintaining the personalized touch of a small-town family doctor. Our commitment to excellence is unwavering, grounded in integrity, honesty, and compassion. By staying at the forefront of technology and education, we ensure that our patients receive the best care for their visual and ocular needs. Join us in celebrating the beauty of Red Wing and the excellence of our eye care services! While our practice may be commonly associated with routine care, don't be surprised by the franchise name. Our doctors go beyond routine examinations, addressing a diverse range of conditions and diseases, providing primary care services. Additionally, there is an opportunity for our doctors to engage in post-operative care for cataract patients if they wish to do so. Our commitment to comprehensive eye care ensures that our services extend far beyond the expected, offering a broad spectrum of expertise to meet various patient needs.

Our standard schedule involves our doctors working full time, four days a week. During these days, each examination is carefully spaced, with a 30-minute interval between appointments. This intentional scheduling allows our doctors to dedicate ample, unhurried time to each patient, ensuring a high-quality and thorough experience without the pressure of feeling rushed.

Who we Are:
We are a practice experiencing rapid growth and maintaining a close collaboration with the local Mayo Clinic to deliver optimal eye care for our diverse patient base. By joining our clinic, doctors have the opportunity to engage in full-scope optometry, adhering to current Minnesota Laws. Our practice strikes a harmonious balance between medical and routine eye exams.


Equipped with cutting-edge technology, including OCTs and Optomap, we ensure our doctors have access to the latest tools for comprehensive patient care. With reasonable working hours that prioritize the quality of life for our employees, we foster a positive workplace environment where relationships are valued. Our dedicated staff works collaboratively, contributing to the establishment of an outstanding reputation within the community.
