“I have been going to Dr Haugen for more than 20 years. Even though I have a hard prescription to diagnose because I have Keracatonus he has always worked diligently to be sure my vision has been as crisp as possible. I am now needing cataract surgery and he has helped me to make the best decisions for vision needs. I have 100% confidence in his advise.”

Friendly and welcoming staff. I was seen right away and Dr. Haugen is very professional and explains procedures and options clearly.
Both Dr. Hougen and the staff are friendly, helpful, and direct. I feel like I'm being accurately assessed and treated as a patient not as a customer/source of income. I very much appreciate that any upselling in my glasses is done with useful features not with branding or pushing towards a more expensive product. I'm unable to thing of one thing I would have you do differently at this time.
Scott is an amazing doctor. The staff at the office are always polite, professional and friendly. Even with the business growth, the office still maintains the hometown feeling.
Dr. Haugen takes so much more time with me than I experienced with my previous eye doctor. After a visit I feel confident that everything has been addressed and that I am receiving the best care possible. I feel like a person and not a number in a waiting room and I really appreciate that!
Very thorough exam and Dr. Haugen is very friendly and knowledgeable. Willing to explain very clearly any part of the exam. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
I am always treated kindly and promptly by the staff. Dr Haugen responds to my questions and explains in a way I can understand. Thanks everyone, Phyllis

I have been a patient of Dr. Haugen for several years and have been very satisfied with him and his staff’s professional and excellent service.
good personalized service by one experienced healthcare provider data entry at check-in, during appointment, and after appointment time consuming and cumbersome; do you have the right software?
I've been a patient of Dr Haughens for 30 years or there abouts. That's because I trust him. Aside from that, wherever he has practiced, his staff has also been outstanding. There's not a thing that i can think of that he could do better his practice.
Dr. Haugen did a thorough eye exam explaining eye changes and any recommendations. Brenda, the optician I worked with, was extremely helpful selecting a frame and explaining costs.

Professional service from check in to check out. Dr. Haugen is well informed and thorough. Support staff is capable, efficient, and friendly. Keep up the great work!

I have been going to Dr Haugen for over 30 years. Best there is. Prices for glasses could be a little less expensive. But I guess that's everywhere.
I interacted with the receptionist, the optician, and Dr. Haugen. Everyone was extremely friendly, attentive, and knew their job well. The office was clean and well organized. The doctor was right on time. I'm so glad I found you all! Thanks.
Dr. Haugen is THE BEST eye doctor around. He is very thorough when he explains potential eye issues around medication I have to take for RA. And the opticians are really FUN and knowledgeable. A great experience all around.
Dr. Haugen is very good at explaining his tests and procedures to patients and answering questions. Hands-down, he is the best eye doctor I’ve ever had! His staff is professional, friendly and caring, as well.
Everyone in the office is organized and efficient. Dr. Haugen is thorough in his eye exam and takes the time to do patient teaching, which helps me to better care for my eyes and vision. I needed a couple adjustments on my glasses and Robert took care of everything I needed during the visit.
Scott has been taking care of my eyes for almost a quarter of a century! He's my eye-guy! Robert has always been helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Contact I've had (or observed) with other staff is also A-1. Other than these personal connections, I'm not sure I know how you may differ from other shops, but I have nothing negative to say.
Dr Haugen had helped me see for the past 30 years. He is always very thorough, kind and listens. He makes sure I am comfortable and most importantly that I can see in the best possible way!!
I have recommended Dr Haugen to family ----he's personable, thorough, knowledgeable and I feel a good value ------- one thing----replace that worn out loveseat in the waiting area. It's tacky and screams that you're not successful. They have great deals at American Furniture Warehouse.
Dr. Haugen spent extra time with me answering questions. I was there to have a check up and get new lenses. By listening to my observations and asking questions he made an adjustment to my prescription which we are hoping will have my eyes working together better. He also gave me an “exercise” to practice. Prior to the visit I did not think any thing could be done. It was a brain eye interface issue. It was not even on my mind but my eyes did it several times when his assistant was running the pre-scan. I mentioned it to his assistant because I thought it might mess up his scan. The assistant said “it was fine but I should mention it to Dr. Haugen”. Fingers crossed I am very interested to see what happens when I receive the new lenses.
I have always been very satisfied with the service I have received from Dr. Haugen and the rest of the staff. I know that I can call on them whenever I have problems with my glasses be it broken frame, lens or change of prescription.
Very thorough exam and Dr. Haugen is very friendly and knowledgeable. Willing to explain very clearly any part of the exam. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
