Vision Source Mandan

I've gone to this place pretty much my entire life and never had any issues with Dr. Schmidt. Dr. Aberle is also a pretty cool guy since I've seen him a few times after Dr. Schmidt retired. My problems stem from the last few times I had been there and I decided to go somewhere else. The first issue is with the retina scan. The scan has always been available as an option but isnt covered by insurance and therefore I took the option to opt out of it and never did it even though it was like $25 in the past. For some reason, the last time I went in the price of the scan was now more expensive AND is for some reason now mandatory. I told the receptionist I dont want that done. She said not to take it up with her and take it up with the doctor. Now this was my first time there since they remodeled and made additions so I wasn't sure of all the test equipment. The first test they did was the retina scan which I explicitly told them I didnt want. The tech who ran the test was as apathetic as the receptionist; both seemed to hate their jobs. At the end of the appointment I got charged for a test I didnt consent to. I can only imagine its now mandatory because they need to pay for those additions to the clinic. My other issue was when I called about an eye issue a family member was having. I asked if I should bring her to Vision Source or a medical clinic. They told me to bring her to VS since "a physician would just send her here anyway." I braught her in and over the course of the 15 minute visit, Dr. Schauer decided there waa nothing they could do for her and we were referred to the Dakota Eye Institute. I later got a bill for that visit for around $355. The Dakota Eye Institute that actually treated us only billed us $150. When I called about the bill I must have gotten the same apathetic receptionist because after I asked her if she thought that bill was high she said "Yeah...seems like it," and then said nothing else. So anyways; Dr. Schmidt was awesome when he worked there. Dr. Aberle is a kind knowledgeable person. The facility is nice. But I won't be going back because since the remodel and additions they seem money hungry and I have an aversion to giving my money to people who don't seem like listening to and caring for patients is their top priority.

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids. It was apparent that she takes great pride in making people feel like people and not just patients. It was amazing to hear and showed there are still places to go and be well taken care of professionally and personally. Great job Britt!!!

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience. A couple years ago, Dr. Schauer determined I needed cataract surgery (and I'm not "old") and referred me to Vance Thompson Vision in West Fargo. I opted to go with Light Adjustable Lenses, and it's been life changing! After 43 years, I no longer wear contacts or glasses! Vance Thompson is the only place in several state area that handle the LALs, so I am so thankful Dr. Schauer referred me there! I would highly, highly recommend Vision Source and Dr. Schauer and her entire staff.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source

A professional operation. Good service. Good product. Only critique, expensive. I guess you get what you pay for.
