Feb 27, 2021
Had a great experience at Minnesota Eye Institute! Had lasix and am seeing better then 20/20! Love not having the hassle of wearing contacts or having my mask fog up. Minnesota Eye Institute is very competitively priced, the staff are all so kind and knowledgeable. I cannot say enough good things about my Lasix experience!

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
