"Everyone in the office is professional, friendly, and helpful."

"She was very thorough about answering all my concerns"

"Dr lecher takes the time to Listen & keeps you informed of your eye condition well"

"I like Dr Lecher, but only having her in the Dubuque office 1 1/2 days a week is making me think about changing providers. You show her primary location as Dubuque on the website -so why isn't she in Dubuque more? My appointment was on 7/31/2026 and when I made my yearly appointment for next year, I can't get in to see her until DECEMBER 2027. That is ridiculous to me."

"Very comfortable office and staff."

"They got me an appointment very quickly."

"Keep up the good work ?"

"The Med tech was not very personable, my mother is 85 and she was impatient and very"

"The nurses assistant wasn't friendly."

"After having the drops in my eyes, the lobby seemed way too bright. I was glad I had selected my frames earlier because I could hardly see. I wore 2 pairs of sunglasses driving home. People should be warned of this after-effect."

"Good people"

"I wish I could get an appointment earlier for next year"

"The entire staff was polite and timely. The Galena clinic is very peaceful; worth the drive from Dubuque. Karen in the Optical Dept. there sold me new glasses in record time. She's a great sales person!"

"Kelli was amazing. She listened, explained everything she was doing as well as her findings as she went along. She told me exactly what should be done for further test a what she was going to recommend to my primary physician. Moving forward I am going to keep her as my eye doctor."

"As always my treatment in this department was great. I have no complaints."

"When scheduling the yearly appointment last year, I had to schedule it 16 months out which is closer to 1.5 years. Same thing this year... when setting up follow up yearly the closest to a year was to set it up 17 months away. I asked to go to the satellite in Galena to get it scheduled in a timely manner, but this also requires me to drive an additional 20 miles to and from."

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."

"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."

"Dr. Lecher in very thorough and knowledgeable!"

"Very good first time visit. Glad to have her for my eye doctor!"

"She gave me a copy of my eye numbers from last year. She also refreshed me about eye vitamins which I will get back to using . I mentioned that being outside or in dry areas my eyes sometimes itch so he said to use eye drops to help as eyes don't seem dry."
