What Our Patients Have To Say About Us

A friendly optometrist who makes you feel welcome. Dr. Tem Gronquist is current with modern technologies that diagnose a variety of eye conditions, including macular degeneration. Dr. Tem will put you at ease. I can't recommend him enough. The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming as well.

Joseph A.
Patient since 2018

I was welcomed warmly by Dr. Joanne and staff as a new patient. She spent time thoroughly reviewing my medical history and provided very personable and comprehensive care. I highly recommend Dr. Joanne for all your optometric needs!

Jeffrey E.
Patient since 2026

I'm 67 years old and have worn eyeglasses since the 4th grade. I've seen a lot of optometrists over the years. Dr. Joanne is, by far, the best of all of them. She is very patient, knowledgeable, and thorough and super-easy to work with. Another five stars to her opticians, Don and Taylor, too.
