The Care They Received at
St. Cloud Eye Clinic

I was initially apprehensive about the surgery, but during the prep and initial beginning of the surgery, your personnel erased my uneasiness and made the entire process smooth.

The nurse who got my IV started was precious.  When she said “God bless you during surgery” I knew I was in good hands.  The nurse who took care of me after surgery was very kind and accommodating.

My experience at your clinic was excellent.  I was cared for, and my every need was anticipated and met.  Your staff is compassionate.  They made what could have been scary, comfortable.  I have told others all about your caring attitude.  I do not see how you could improve, you are all great!

My optometrist reports that my eyes are very healthy after my cataract surgery.  He commented on the excellent job Dr. Rice performed.  I am looking forward to having my glasses updated so I don’t have to wear reading glasses on the end of my nose nor around my neck!  Doctors, nurses, receptionists, etc. were all very kind and helpful.  God bless the inventor of cataract surgery!

Overall, I was impressed with the staff, everyone was so friendly, especially Paula, my nurse.  From the time I checked in to the time I left, I felt so comfortable.  I can honestly say that everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs, something that seems less noticeable at other clinics I go to.  This is great to see, especially in today’s world.  Keep up the great work!

I am very pleased with the results of my cataract surgery performed on Nov. 27, 2007 by Dr. Rice.  The surgical team at St. Cloud Center for Ophthalmic Surgery did an outstanding job caring for me prior to, during and after my surgery.  Paula prepared me for the procedure and calmed the anxieties I had.  She was confident that the outcome would be fine.  Rob then assured me that he would keep me comfortable during the operation.  Afterward, Peg discussed the operation and reviewed the post operative care.  Joan and Mary were also part of the team in the O.R. and should be mentioned as well.  Thanks to all for your efforts and care.  I am grateful and feel fortunate to have such caring and professional treatment.  J.K.

I was a bit apprehensive before surgery of my ability to hold my head still and not blink my eye.  Next time I won't worry because everything went so well.  Everyone was very friendly and compassionate which helped put me at ease.  A.C. 10/1/07

Just the kindness you showed me was something I rarely experience.  Your gentleness eased any nervousness totally.  I can't thank you enough.  And, of course, most importantly, I can see!!  A.H. 10/27/07

The entire staff was very accomodating and professional.  I especially want to thank Paula, the RN who prepped me for surgery.  She was happy and upbeat and helped to calm me down.  Also, my thanks to Dr. Rice and his surgical staff.  You thoroughly explained everything and showed some humor in the process.  K.B. 10/18/07

Everyone was very helpful and caring.  It was a great experience.  Thank you also for keeping everything moving along as I experienced no long waiting periods between each phase of the preparation and procedure.  R.D. 10/9/07     

I really like that you have your surgical center in your office building.  Your employees were efficient and very pleasant.  I appreciated not having to wait forever prior to surgery and during the prep time like I would at other facilities.  It was a good decision to set up your own surgical center.  You have a wonderful staff and Dr. Rice, in my opinion, should be rated among the best.  He is a master at his profession.  A.R. 12/27/07

To employees, caregivers and Dr. Lucius, I thank each of you most sincerely for the immediate response to my fall as I was coming into your office.  It was apparent that my hand was hurt and several people came to my immediate need.  Each of you were so kind.  Thanks heaps!  C.N.
