Matthew Arensdorff, OD

"They were great"

"The doctor was very professional and I appreciate the service that I got from him. So he's a 10. Thank you."

"I had forgot to make my annual appointment and I was concerned about my eye. They had a cancellation and got me in quickly and I was very impressed.Dr. Matthew Arensdorff even personally called me after 6pm to let me know that my blood test were great news."

"I respect the courtesy I got and the customer service I got there and I want to thank you for it. I'm happy with how things turned out there. So that's the best I can say. Everything was fine for me."

"Great visit with all the staff"

"I was impressed with the excellent equipment used for my eye exam by the staff at the clinic, and by Dr. Arensdorff's overview and summary of all of the tests. My only criticism of Medical Associates eye care is the extreme long wait for an appointment to get tested. It is way too long, by many months."

"He listens to what u have to say and gives answer u understand"

"The doctor and staff were very helpful as usual and all my questions were answered satisfactorily!!!"

"They were able to accommodate me at the last minute...I was very appreciative."

"Very thorough."

"The nurse was very patient went why out of her way to help me was very concerned!!"

"Very professional. Efficient but not rushed. Covered everything that needed to be done. Made sure my questions were answered."

"Everyone was courteous helpful and professional"

"No complaints. From check in to check out everything went smooth. I hold Dr. Sleep in high regard & trust him to have my best interest in mind."

"Always great care in Ophthalmology at Medical Associates!!!"

"Every one was helpful friendly and answered my questions"

"Was very happy with my care, everyone was very nice and did a wonderful job. Thank you!"

"Went well"

"I always feel I'm in excellent hands with Medical Associates."

"Very pleased with the new experience! Everyone was professional and organized!"

"Dr. Sleep and every member of his staff were first class in their care and concern. They are all a credit to your medical team. [REDACTED]"

"Professional, both doctor and nurse. Very thorough."

"Yes, everyone I dealt with from the receptionist to the nurses and assistants or whatever the different titles were and doctor, they were all exceptional. They all listened and made clear what they were trying to tell me and I'll be back next year. Thank you. Bye."

"It was great! Merry Christmas"

"Everyone was wonderful"

"The young nurse that brought me to the room was great! She was very friendly and did a nice job explaining what she was testing and letting me know how I did. I wish I had gotten her name. She deserves to be recognized."

"Great care . Appreciate it."

"Very caring staff"

"Routine eye exam went "routine". Only thing is a 15-20 minute wait between the tech's exam before Dr. Arensdorff finally comes in."

"The appointment occurred on time and was very efficient with results being explained to me as they occurred."

"I appreciated the written material I received that was pertinent to my diagnosis. The information was very helpful.r During my eye exam, I asked Dr. Arensdorff to speak more clearly and he quickly adjusted to my request."

"I was real happy with my appointment today. I had a complete eye exam today and it went through very quickly. It was real organized and I got out of there in a very short time. I was happy with my appointment. Thank you."

"Dr. Arensdorff is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, kind, and experienced."

"The visit was quick, not much waiting."

"Dr. Arensdorff and his technicians listened well, checked and double checked my concerns."

"My doctor is just awesome."

"Exceptional staff!"

"Great"

"I did have to wait 45 minutes while my eyes were dilating and I even got in to my appt early due to my husbands appt being canceled as soon as we go there. Oh well I know things come up but I did think they forgot about me in the room"

"I just found it odd that he came in sat down didn't acknowledge who he was or say good morning to me. My main concern after the visit after he just checked, he did not do a visual exam. I did call back. I've talked to the receptionist and she informed me that they only check your vision every two years. I just find that odd if I'm paying for an eye exam. I would prefer to have a visual exam done at the same time. Just my thoughts. Thank you"

"Fast and easy"

"It was same day cataract surgery after procedure visit."

"Great experience Dr Arensdorff treated me like a friend ! Everything went like clockwork!"

"It was a good appointment,everything went well."

"Great experience, professional, knowledgeable and friendly service. Thank you!"

"My history with Medical Assoc Op is long; docs, techs, assistants, and receptionists have come and gone, but the vibe, generous and gentle and professional, has always remained the same. Yesterday's assistant was young and new, but she was personable and so sweetly careful. I worked with two specialty techs, both seasoned and efficient and wonderfully chatty enough to make it a breeze. The dreaded field vision test made sense to me for the first time, at the direction of a calming and really knowledgeable tech who explained how it worked and cheered me on. I loved that she took the time to do that. My doc has the undisputed skill to know what's going on with my eyes and better yet, the quiet easy "people skills" to talk to me about it without freaking me out. He was born to do this; he has the best ears in the business ("look right at my ear"). Yesterday, the Halloween vibe could be felt everywhere and it was delightful. This is a group that presents as a well oiled machine, who actually like each other and understand that good service to patients can also come with a healthy dose of joy and laugher. Kudos to this department. They are spectacular."

"Very good, but had a half-hour wait before I was seen. Waiting room seemed very busy compared to my other doctor visits."

"My visit was great and the provider did everything I needed."

"Very positive experience!"

"I want to give a compliment to the nurse I had for my tests. I think her name was Samantha but not sure. I know it started with an S. She had only worked there for a little over a month. She was such a nice young woman and very knowledgeable. Very friendly also!!"

"I have never been crazy about going to the eye doctor. It always scared me. Dr. Arensdorff made me feel so comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him. He was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anybody."

"Dr. Arensdorff was very thurow and explained every step through a long process today. I was aware of why he ordered each test. He was very comforting through the process and what the next step is."

"This was my first visit with Dr. Arensdorff, since [REDACTED] retired. I feel he could have been a little friendlier, it seemed like he was rushed. First visit, get to know your patient a little bit. Also, he is soft spoken, needs to speak up (my hearing is fine) and he talks quite fast."

"All good. New staff who checked my eye pressure was very pleasant and enthusiastic with her job."

"The kindness and friendliness of the staff is very appreciated."

"I had to wait a good 6 months or more to get an appointment and if I didn't take the appointment in the galena office I would have had to wait longer and the Dr wanted to see me back in 8 weeks to check something in my eye and I thought certainly I could get in in Dubuque for that appointment but when the person called with the date and time that was in Galena and when I asked if I could see him in Dubuque no they said I would have to wait 10-12 weeks to get in if I have to keep making the drive to Galena when I live in Dubuque I may look elsewhere for this care or look for another Dr there"

"Everything went well great nurses great doctor"

"Great guy. His new apprentice did a good job."

"My experience with the optical appointment was very good. I had no problems at all. It was a short wait. Everybody was very friendly. Savannah and Amanda did excellent. They were very friendly. Matthew Arnstorff was very, very friendly and answered all my questions and took his time with me. I would think he would... I wouldn't go anyplace else. Thank you."

"Very thorough exam"

"Everything went very well from beginning to end. Arnsdorf was especially effective in doing his part of the job, and the rest of the staff from beginning to end performed as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a professional doctor, but nevertheless, things went very smoothly. They were clear to me as they explained what was going on and what would be going on, and I'm quite happy."

"Dr. Arensdorff is really a great doctor on all levels ??"

"Everything went well!"

"It all went well. Visioni s very good and no problems after surgery. Thanks to all the staff."

"It was quick but thorough"

"Everyone was so courteous and kind. They answered any questions I had."

"Getting an appointment in the ophthalmology department is about impossible. I needed to reschedule my appointment & couldn't get in for 6 months. This is not ok. Either get more providers or stop recruiting more patients as you obviously don't have the capacity to care for those you currently have."

"Thanks for ur efficiency. The staff was very courteous and helpful and I was out in less than an hr. [REDACTED]"

"The nurse assistant who did the initial exam before Dr. Arensdorff was excellent ... better than all previous assistants!"

"Sat in waiting room for 30 minutes, but otherwise good experience."

"A positive experience"

"This was not my mom's regular doctor but he was in surgery....Dr. A was great with my mom, very kind and compassionate after her surgery. The nurse was awesome as well but she is always great!"

"The doctor was fine and nurse was great. I was just disappointed that Medical Assoc does not have the correct eye drop for me!! I will not be getting anymore eye dilation done!! It messed up my eyes for 3 days and cost me another 50.00 in bills"

"Was seen ahead of my appointment time! Great. As always the doctor was excellent!!"

"I did the drops to speed up the process to undilate my eyes. It made them very red and I seemed to be more thirsty. No other side effects...my eyes were fully back to normal in a little over 2 hours."

"Love Dr. Arensdorff"

"This visit was completed very efficiently, too."

"Very efficient"

"All staff were personable, courteous and friendly."

"Dr Arensdorff was very helpful and explained & answered my questions.He did not rush me through my appt."

"Very thorough and professional"

"Dr was late for my appt because of an emergency. Staff didn't let me know until 50 min after my scheduled appt. Staff was apologetic and kind, but it was long 50 min wait in exam room, wondering if I was forgotten. Dr also apologized. I understand emergencies- it would have been nice if someone had come to exam room sooner."

"Dr Arensdorff and his staff are always professional, welcoming, and caring. I have confidence in their treatments."

"It was my first time at the office. The nurse was WONDERFUL!!! And the doctor was knowledgeable - and explained things in a way I understood. The whole experience was top notch."

"Was there 30 minutes early for my appointment and didn't get in until 25 minutes after my appointment time."

"Very convenient that I am in very good hands"

"Dr. Arensdorff is a great physician!"

"Thank you"

"All was good."

"Thank you for fine assist."

"Train the receptionists to greet you with "Good morning, I'll be with you in a moment." and not: "I'll be right with you""

"Very professional care. Very satisfied. Will recommend."

"It was a good experience ,with a lot of,infomation about my ,issues ,with my eyes!!"

"Very friendly and professional."

"I went to acute care at 7:20 and they got me in to see Dr Arensdorff at 10:00 to look at my eye. Dr Arensdorff and his nurse were very friendly and helpful."

"The staff and Dr were very helpful and courteous."

"Dr. Arensdorff is truly concerned to help you anyway he can."

"I greatly appreciate Dr. Arensdorff's expertise and his taking time to explain medical conditions to me. His staff was also great."

"The follow-up it's the pharmacy in iow"

"As usual, everyone was very pleasant and approachable allowing me to feel comfortable asking questions. My questions were answered in a way that I could understand."

"Long wait time."

"Post surgery follow-up. Very professional & courteous."

"My eye Dr is the absolute best doctor in the world. Love ?? him"

"Appointment on schedule/listened to my needs"

"everything was very professional..."

"I had an urgent wish to have an analysis of remaining options for the condition of my eyes, and one (Senior Nurse ?) was not only helpful -- she made it happen, and I am indebted to her and all Staff I dealt with ! In addition -- the radiant soul (Heidi) -- provided me with concrete information to prevent my losing all of my Medical Associates Physicians because I have been approved for Medicaid. Fourth of July rockets are an appropriate reaction to the hope I can now entertain -- and to the Help I received yesterday. Thank You !"

"Dr. Arensdorff and his staff are always so very kind and courteous. Always a pleasant experience coming to my eye doctor!"

"All of the staff and doctors are very courteous professional and knowledgeable"

"Check in online is a great tool, it is easy to do and fast. This was my first appointment with a new eye care provider. The nurse and doctor were very friendly and professional. Overall I would rate the appointment very satisfactory."

"Treated very kindly by everyone!!"

"A weekend development led to the need to be checked. I appreciate the staff's caring response and the help I received."

"Great ?"

"I just want to say that Dr. Arensdorff was very good, once again. He listens to everything that I say, answers all of my questions, brings up my previous medical history, and ensures me that everything is still looking good for that. I might have given the office desk girls higher of a rating than and what they deserved. I think everything with my experience is perfect, with the exception sometimes they are too busy or too chatty to check me in. But right when I get back there in the room, the nurses are always wonderful. Dr. Arensdorff is wonderful. And you can tell that he really cares. So just wanted to leave that feedback. He is wonderful."

"Was well done"

"Fast, efficient, courteous."

"Great experience. My appointment went very quickly"

"Had to cancel earlier appt. due to respiratory infection. Got in the next month but otherwise would have been 8 months. Had a timely checkup and all were so friendly"

"The experience was very positive. The Staff should passion and professionalism"

"They made me feel very comfortable."

"GREAT SERVICE"

"I feel very time I go they want you to try something new. Also I need a new prescription but the staff member was interested in helping me find a pair glasses. This is the 2nd time this has happened and also I have heard others that this has happened to."

"I was charged for contact fitting. He looked at the ones I had in. Did not do a contact exam."

"Excellent in all aspects"

"I was treated with respect, kindess, and attentiveness to all I had to say! I appreciate the interest in my health shown to me throughout my visit!"

"Dr was great and the girl doing some of the testing was great. I was not too impressed with the gentleman that works or your glasses as his pants he was wearing were hanging way below his waist. There was no receptionist working there."

"They were able to work me into a full schedule due to my sudden changes. The nurse was thorough and entertaining. The Doctor gave me a very good exam. Then explained very clearly what was going on. They really put me at ease in a stressful situation. Outstanding! Thank you"

"very though exam explained everything very well"

"All went well!"

"#1 great team. reminds me of [REDACTED]. my nurse was with [REDACTED]. nice people. very nice. Great to be with a team."

"From the person helping me to figure out were to go all the way to the doctor were very warm and friendly my experience was a 10+ give them all a raise"

"Everyone was very nice and helpful."

"Overall it was great. While (In hindsight) I do think I was informed of this fact, I was initially a bit confused, to say the least, by the employees who checked me needing additional information on my insurance when I had completed the online check-in process in hopes of expediting this. That is my only negative remark and it seemed more pressing to me because I was in a rush. Overall, the entire team was courteous and readily and robustly answered my questions. Thanks"

"Great job"

"Great experience and vision is awesome!!!"

"I hate the tests, but the ladies giving them were very supportive"
