Dakota Eye Care Associates Celebrates 20 Years!

We would like to start by thanking all of our past and present patients for entrusting us with your vision and healthcare needs. There are many options when choosing an eye care provider and we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be your provider over the past 20 years. More importantly, we enjoy having you as part of our family.

We’ve grown significantly over the years but still take pride in providing unique care taylored to each individual. Much of the personalized service we provide can be attributed our fantastic staff, many of whom have been here since the beginning. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work. Dakota Eye Care wouldn’t be able to provide the highest quality of care without your expertise.

It has been a pleasure to serve our patients and the surrounding community over the past 20 years. We continue to strive to be at the forefront of eye care and look forward to providing continued care for the next 20 years and beyond!

I recently came back to Dakota Eye Care after a 2 year hiatus and was pleasantly surprised by the service. I started going here when I was 12 years old and left when I was 26. Upon coming back for a routine eye exam I was VERY happy with my contact fitting by Sue who works in the contact department! After 2 years I have become a loyal customer once again because of Sue's commitment to excellence, care, attention to detail, and quality of service. I'm back and it's thanks to Sue! Please do something nice for her because she deserves it.
