"I want to thank Kelli Lecher for helping me with a foreign object in my eye. I didn't actually have an appointment but my wife did, I asked the receptionist if there was a possible chance for Kelli to look at my eye as it wouldn't stop watering. She found an eyelash in the eye that wouldn't come out for me and she removed it. Kelli is the best."

Due to being on our heath plan & you can only go to medical associates. Thank God they approved for me to go to the Galena office. The Galena office was wonderful. Very polite and helpful.

"Kelli is very good and very knowledgeable."

"I have complained about dry eye for years. Kelli asked me if I ever had my ducks checked and I said no. She checked my ductwork and said it's no wonder they're completely clogged. Referred me to ENT. Now I wonder why nobody else ever asked me that and did that simple procedure."

"The sign-in at registration was confusing. I didn't know what to press because it said, if you're not at the right place, press this. It did not tell me what to press if I was at the right place."

"The front desk checked me in but did not mark me as present at the appointment. I waited in the waiting room for 40 minutes. I then asked the front desk if there was a delay and they realized they never checked me in and I was marked as a no show. They were apologetic and I then was checked in and completed the appointment but it was disappointing that my appointment that should have been less than an hour was over 2 hours long due to this."
