David R. Hardten, M.D., F.A.C.S.

"From the moment we walked through the front door until we exited Patient Pickup, everyone was kind and patient Everyone also informed of what to expect and cautious about potential allergies, etc. Thank you!"

"Dr. Hardten and his team were very friendly and informative. I left my appointment knowing what's going on and what I need to do to keep my eyes healthy."

"Surgery went well. I really don't recall anything after I was wheeled out of the pre-op room to the operating room. Dr. Hardten did the cataract surgery on two of my siblings and now me. Fully trust him and his team to do the best possible for patients. The staff was excellent! I have few side effects from surgery. Actually, I can see much better from my right eye now. My left eye is scheduled in one week. I'm looking forward to having better vision in both eyes. Many thanks to MN Eye Consultants. Kudos to a wonderful physician and his staff."

"My husband just had successful cataract surgery last month and it went well. I went for my eval and found out I need not only cataract surgery but also a corneal transplant at the same time so there was a lot of info to absorb very quickly. Dr. Hardten was very nice... friendly, thorough and helpful. He answered my immediate questions but he was a little rushed which is understandable. I'm confident he'll do a great job. His assistant Adalia, was wonderful.. she took time after he left to answer more questions, ease my fears, gave me info and went out of her way to be caring and friendly. The first person who did all the diagnostics was Jennifer. I'm sure she's very excellent and she did a thorough job, but it would be less stressful if she would try to be a little more friendly and less abrupt. She wore a frown most of the time. Toward the end, however when I had a few questions, she did become a little less formal and I was grateful I could ask her some questions. The clinic itself is very hard to get a hold of on the phone. The couple previous times I've tried to call, I was on hold a long time and then the automated system tells us to leave a message. This is frustrating. I needed for example to ask a couple simple insurance questions. Later tho today when I tried to call about the eye drop Rx's, I was delighted when a PERSON answered. Her name was Marie, medical assistant. She was WONDERFUL. She was more helpful than any of the people I called!! She gave me my procedure codes (took the time to find them on my paperwork) so I can check coverage with Medicare. She also gave me a more affordable option for the one required Rx drop Restasis... a mail order company they use. This will save me hundreds of dollars for that drop. She was not in a hurry and was friendly and willing to help me with all my questions."

"Dr. Hardten is one of the best doctors I've ever had. Good bedside manner calming presents, professional, and speaks in terms that a regular person can understand. I came to him on a recommendation, not knowing what I would get. I'm so very happy to have connected with him to do my cataract surgery. Pleased with the results, and with the follow-up. I would absolutely recommend him 100%."
