Reviews for Chu Vision Institute

This staff is absolutely amazing!!! They talk to you as a human and take the time to explain what they are going to do. They spend time answering questions and concerns. Dr. Chu and his team…I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. They genuinely care, and you can hear it in their voices. I was nervous, and as an adult male that can be….belittling…but they were amazing! They actually pumped up my confidence. I will never go anywhere else for my eyes. I plan on scheduling all my appointments with them. Give them a chance, they will not disappoint. I heard it in the waiting room, everyone was happy and appreciative. Thank you all for making my life better! More

Lasik was not something that i ever thought would be an option as it never was for my astigmatism and far sighted vision issues. New technology made something i never thought possible a possibility. This was the easiest thing ever. From what i expected was that it was suppose to be a slow progression and will continue to improve over next 6 weeks. I am already mind blown by how it has gone and how well I see. No glasses and I see better than I ever did with glasses...lol. Best Doctor, team, and experience. I HIGHLY Recommend everyone using Chu Vision Institute for all ete care needs. You will not regret it. Thank you! More

From the day I walked in for my consult to the day after surgery and my first post-op, Chu Vision provided nothing short of a stellar experience. After 30 years of my life spent wearing glasses and 27 years with contacts, my vision stabilized and I was referred to Chu Vision. LASIK has been something I've wanted for many years but will be the first to admit my gut was wrenching with anxiety the entire month leading to the procedure after weighing the pros and cons of eye surgery. Browsing the internet and learning about side effects: glares, halos, starbursts...didn't exactly help my anxiety. Don't get me wrong, without glasses or contacts, I could barely make out the big E in the eye doctor's office. If anyone broke into my house, if a contact fell out while swimming, if something happened to my contacts/glasses on vacation...I'd be screwed. I wanted to be free. My 1:1 prior to surgery with Dr. Chu definitely put me at ease. The entire staff at Chu Vision is extraordinary...something you wish for at any service-related business. They calmed my nerves, walked through every step, answered all my questions, advised me how to prepare and what to truly expect afterward. The day of surgery was quick and absolutely painless...no pain at all, and my entire time at the office was 45 minutes. The actual procedure was less than 10 minutes. Dr. Chu provided an amazing surgery and turned my -6.75 prescription WITH ASTIGMATISM to 0!!!! The day after surgery for my post-op, I could easily see 20/20, and I know they don't guarantee better than 20/20, but I was able to see 20/15 the day after surgery, with my own eyes...truly amazing!!!! TO THIS DAY I CATCH MYSELF IN AMAZEMENT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO NOT HAVE THIS VISION WITH MY OWN EYES. I'm now 4.5 weeks out from when I had surgery and the post-op procedures and drops are cake. I have not had ANY glares, halos, starbursts, nothing. I can see clearly at night and during the day. "Whereas once I was blind, now I see." Thank you so much Dr. Chu, your team, and the experience you have built. I can't put into words how you have changed my life. Thank you so much. More

I had cataract surgery and before surgery had cloudy vision and a great deal of difficulty with night driving-halos, difficulty seeing lines on the roads especially on wet roads. I got the light adjusted lenses. It took a few weeks of adjustments but now I can see clearly to read and drive without glasses and the best part is I can drive at night and I don’t have the haloes around lights with oncoming traffic and I can see the road and lines even in the rain!! No glasses needed!!! I wear regular sunglasses in the sun but no prescriptions. Thanks Dr. Chu!!! Your staff was amazing-each person was polite and friendly and professional! More

Dr. Chu changed my life!!! The procedure was so easy and fast! My eyes are feeling amazing not even 24hrs later. The staff was always extremely friendly and knowledgeable More

Dr. Chu and his staff are always very friendly and professional. The expertise is outstanding and is second to none. I trust them unequivocally with my eyes and with the treatments that are prescribed and administered. I highly recommend Chu Vision Institute for your eye care. More

Just got lasik on both my eyes yesterday and now I can see so clearly!! Before lasik I had glasses ever since I was 4-5 yrs old, contacts never worked for me it was always uncomfortable for me. There’s a little blur and fuzz right now but that’s completely normal. Dr. Chu and everyone else in this institute were so helpful and kind, they really calmed my nerves down a lot. I would highly recommend coming here if you’re thinking about getting lasik in MN! More

Very knowledgeable and friendly. More

(Translated by Google) The whole experience is extremely positive. The staff exhibit exceptional customer service. The ophthalmologist's verification of all eye conditions is very complete and they take great care to listen and follow up on your comments. In short, it is the best experience I have had in this class of ophthalmology services. (Original) Toda la experiencia es extremadamente positiva. El personal exhibe un trato al cliente excepcional. La verificación del oftalmólogo de todas las condiciones de los ojos es bien completa y se esmeran en oír y dar seguimiento a tus comentarios. Resumiendo es la mejor experiencia que he tenido en esta clase de servicios de oftalmologia More

Chu Vision is the Mayo Clinic of Cataracts! Everything is so well organized. Brianna was my guardian angel with all the forms! More

Dr. Chu & his staff were all extremely nice, knowledgeable, & helpful. Had PRK surgery and went from -5.75 and -6.5 prescriptions to 20/20. Whole process went smooth and they walk you through everything. Been wearing glasses or contacts since I was in 3rd grade, it’s a crazy feeling waking up seeing unassisted! More

I observed that there was an obviously well defined process for every step of my many visits and that everyone seemed very well trained and capable to perform their functions. And EVERYONE was very pleasant and personable. It was almost fun to have my cataract surgeries! More

Dr Chu performed Lasik surgery on both my eyes 20 years ago. He is very professional. No complications or scaring. My vision is still teriffic and no glasses required. Highly recommended. More

I had such an amazing experiance at Chu Vision, when I had my first appointment, I was so nervous but everyone was so kind and made the experience so much more enjoyable and stress free, the procedure went so quick and Dr.Chu was very kind and made sure to explain every thing that would be done as well as reasure me everything would go well. I got the Smile procedure done and I'm so so happy with results my vision is 20/20 I'm am truly grateful thank you so much Chu Vision ❤ definitely will be recommending to family and friends😊 More

The staff made me feel like family, warm, friendly and fun. Any surgery is pretty serious, but I was reassured by those caring for me. Im so happy with my vision now, cataracts are gone. Thank you Chu Vision Institute!!!! More

I can’t even imagine any experience better than that provided by Dr. chu, and all his staff! Everything from surgery through all exams were all exceptional! They treat you like family, answer all questions to a tee, and the clinic is exceptionally clean! More

My vision correction is experience at the Chu Vision Institute couldn’t have been better. Though their pre screen process Dr. Chu and his staff take extreme care to ensure you and your eyes are a good fit for laser correction surgery. Once it is was determined that LASIK was the best option for me, Dr. Chu’s awesome staff was on point getting me ready for my procedure. Dr. Chu even did a video call with me a couple of days before the procedure to answer any additional questions I had and to describe the procedure itself. The day after my LASIK procedure I was seeing 20/15 in both eyes !! The only regret I have is that I waited so long to get my eyes fixed. The Chu Vision Institute gave me my vision back and I am super grateful! Thank you all for taking such good care of me and my eyes. Best, Todd- More

The whole visit is like a well-oiled machine. Everything runs so smoothly. The staff are polite, courteous and happy. It makes the patient feel calm and stress-free. More

Super friendly staff. 1 day post operation from my SMILE surgery and I have 20/20 vision. Dr. Chu was very reassuring during the surgery; keeping me comfortable through the process. More

Dr. Chu was absolutely wonderful explaining every step of my lasik procedure. He was fantastic in answering all of my questions before, during and after the procedure. More

I've been a patient for 21 years and wouldn't go anywhere else!! Best place you can be a patient. They care. More

This staff is absolutely amazing!!! They talk to you as a human and take the time to explain what they are going to do. They spend time answering questions and concerns. Dr. Chu and his team…I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. They genuinely care, and you can hear it in their voice. I was nervous, and as an adult male that can be….belittling, but they were amazing! They actually pumped up my confidence. I will never go any other place. I plan on scheduling all my appointments with them. Give them a chance, they will not disappoint. I heard it in the waiting room, everyone was happy and appreciative. Thank you all for making my life better!!! More

I never write reviews, but I have to share my amazing experience at Chu Vision. Everything was smooth and efficient from start to finish. I had my LASIK consultation on a Friday and was scheduled for surgery the following Wednesday! Dr. Chu and all the staff were incredibly kind and informative - I always knew what was happening every step of the way. I can’t believe I had 20/20 vision and was able to drive and go to work the day after surgery! After waiting years for my vision to stabilize so I could pursue LASIK, I’m ecstatic that I finally took the plunge and chose Chu Vision to do so! More

Dr. Chu has created an environment for his employees to thrive. By continually being a role model and exercising positive word choice, it is evident that he and his staff are genuinely excited and happy for the outcomes of their patients. I have been in eye care for 15 years and would be honored to be a team member in an office like Chu Vision. I could not recommend a better institution to have lasik at- in fact, I have told multiple patients of mine that I would not go anywhere else and would not trust anyone but Dr. Chu with my eyes. Thank you! More

My experience with everyone at Chu Vision (cataract removal and lens implant) was nothing less than the absolute best care that I've had in a very long time, so professional, friendly and caring! My eyesight has not been this good in ages and it practically happened over night. Dr. Chu and his team are the best!! More

I came in for a Lasik consultation and Chu Vision is a well-oiled machine! Very organized and have the process of the exam and consultation down to a T. Everyone I encountered was very friendly! From the young man who checked me in at my vehicle, the exam and all the way to the end when I met with Amy Ray about scheduling and financing for Lasik. Love it and can't wait to put my eyes in your hands and get Lasik (spoiler...I'm an ideal candidate and will for sure be going to Chu Vision Institute) More

DISSAPOINTED  but GRATEFUL FOR HONESTYI went in for a consultation and was told I should wait a couple more years before having corrective surgery because there are some procedures/products on the horizon that would be a good fit for me if I just wait.  Way to go Chu Vision!  They are in this for the long haul and want happy customers!!  I’ll be back when the time is right!!! More

The best medical experience so far. Everyone was super friendly and patient. Thank you for an awesome experience. More

I felt anxious at the pre op screening visit because I didn't understand how long the measuring process would take. Did I not ask enough questions? Did I not understand the explanations of the procedure? I'm not sure. But once I voiced my concern everything was explained to my complete understanding. The facility met or exceeded all the COVID protocols. It was close to home -- easy to access and had free parking. Dr. Chu was approachable and caring. Dr. Heckman was patient, caring and concerned about me as well as making sure Dr. Chu received the specs he needed to perform perfect surgery. THANK YOU!!!! More

I visited Chu Vision for a consultation for Lasik. My experience was wonderful. I've never had such a thorough examination of my eyes. They were very clear in their explanation of the tests and procedures. I especially appreciated their honesty informing me that I was not a candidate for Lasik nor the lens replacement surgery at this time. More

The entire staff is a very professional staff. Everyone was courteous, kind and compassionate. I admittedly was very anxious leading up to my first surgery to remove cataracts. Now, having had the cataract surgery on both eyes I am truly amazed at the difference in my vision. Before surgery it was looking through a foggy windshield. Chu Vision Institute is Frantastic. More

It's always a pleasure (believe it or not!) to be in your lobby. It seems more relaxing than other clinics. Dr. Jessica Heckman is so nice, knowledgeable and appears truly concerned. I will continue my eyecare at Chu Vision. Thank you! More

Today after years of waiting to get LASIK I took the leap. Terrified as I was, all of the wonderful staff was amazing and kind. Dr. Chu talked me through the whole procedure, which is honestly an outstanding experience. I could not recommend Chu Vision Institute any higher! Perfect 10 :) More

I had LASIK at Chu Vision last week and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They provided a great consultation and advised on the best procedure for my eyes. Every detail (large and small) was planned for, and the whole process was very smooth. Best investment I’ve ever made! More

I had LASIK performed by Dr. Chu and the entire experience was wonderful. All of the staff members were extremely nice and helpful - from the check in person who coordinated my visit to the tech who explained what all of the tests were and why they were needed during my evaluation appointment. Dr. Chu personally has a web call with you a few days before your surgery to ensure you do not have any other questions and are still comfortable with moving forward. The day of the surgery, Dr. Chu checks in with you right before you enter the laser room, performs the surgery himself, and then follows up immediately after by looking at your eyes to ensure everything went well. Chu Institute isn't the cheapest LASIK option, but it is clear why they are viewed as a leader in this field throughout the nation. From the knowledge and professionalism of the staff, to the attention that is received from Dr. Chu himself, to the best and latest technology to ensure the optimal results for your vision, they are worth the little extra. I personally wouldn't want my procedure done through a Groupon on a 10 year old laser system - your eyes are worth more than that. More

I cannot say enough about how great Chu Vision is! I got my LASIK done with them a couple weeks back and they have been so friendly and informative the entire way! My life is changed for the better since having my procedure. Also, if I have a question even now, everyone there still responds to my questions with a smile and professionalism. If I could give them a higher review I would! More

I cannot say enough! I got LASIK through Chu Vision and everyone was informative and friendly throughout the entire process. They still answer every question with a smile! 11 out of 10 experience! More

Dr. Chu and his staff are consummate professionals in knowledge and skill, punctuality, cleanliness and, above all, kindness and helpfulness. I have been there for treatment for a runaway sty, second-opinion for possible glaucoma, and cataract procedures. They are excellent. More

Absolutely amazing clinic. They are extremely in depth with there exams which made me feel even more comfortable. (I'm always a little nervous with my eyes). They do a great job of explaining everything along the way and are extremely friendly. I would recommend any friends and family to them. They are also taking precautions with COVID seriously. I felt very safe the entire time I was in their office. More

I’m so impressed with Chu Vision!! Everything inside is totally sanitized and they have a state of the art filtration system. I have never felt safer! It’s so clean, you could eat off the floor. The entire staff is incredible! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and professional. I have been going to Chu Vision for the past 10 years and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you for your wonderful service! More

the best service, treatment and most importantly results! More

Bare with my lengthy review but if you’re like me, I wanted to know what others true thoughts were and I scoured as many reviews as possible to make sure I was making the best decision for me and my eyes. I am SO, SO thankful for Dr. Chu and Dr. Heckman’s expertise and honesty. I decided it was time to get Lasik and went in for my consultation. From check-in to my latest follow up, everyone at the Chu Vision Institute was friendly, warm, and helpful. Due to some past corneal scarring, Dr. Chu recommended that I get Lasik on one eye and PRK (ASA) on the other. I was extremely nervous about PRK because of the slightly longer recovery time and I really just wanted to wake up and have 20/20 vision like my friends who have had Lasik. The day of my procedure, they made sure I had all my questions and concerns answered before they let me in to have my surgery. That was extremely comforting to me and Dr. Heckman explained why PRK was recommended over Lasik. Simply put, I wouldn’t have had a good outcome if Dr. Chu had performed Lasik on both eyes. Both procedures went well and Dr. Chu confirmed his right decision during the procedure which took all of maybe 10 minutes for both eyes. As instructed, I went home and rested and could literally see 20/20 the next day with my Lasik eye. The PRK eye takes a little longer to heal but can already see better! (I was worried my blurry eye would affect my vision, but it did not). Recovery has been great and will continue to get better in the next few weeks. Now my husband wants to get his eyes done. Chu Vision Institute has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with my results! More

I had cataracts removed from both eyes. Dr. Chu and his staff were wonderful to work with. From the exam to the surgical procedure and recovery, everyone was very professional and pleasant . I had a perfect outcome and would highly recommend the Chu vision Clinic. More

Exceptional. I felt like family as soon as I walked through the front door. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and my LASIK procedure went flawlessly. Like most folks, I did extensive research for months before my consult (word of mouth and online) I highly recommend Chu Vision for your procedure. More

I’ve been going to Chu vision for about three years now and and I’ve had excellent service each and every time. They follow me yearly for my dry eye condition. They are extremely thorough and take the time to answer all my questions. Highly recommend them. More

I want to thank everyone at Chu Vision for the remarkable care we received recently.  The clinic has an immaculate protocol to prevent Covid exposure for all of its patients.  One might think that all the masks would prevent a warm, caring environment but not at Chu Vision!  To a person, everyone was warm and welcoming.  Dr. Chu was terrific and extremely thorough.  The clinic was able to assess my husband’s acute vision change using a remarkable variety of tests and tools.  What would have taken weeks at another clinic took only hours at Chu Vision.  We won’t ever go anywhere else.  Thank you so very much! More

I had LASIK done on May 28th. It's now June 2nd and I couldn't be happier with my vision. Dr Chu and staff are fabulous! I was so nervous. Dr Chu has such a calming voice and he told me everything he was going to do before he did it. I really appreciate that. I wore a Chicago Cubs (my favorite baseball team) mask to my appointment and procedure and after Dr Chu asked to take a picture because he's a Cubs fan. :) I couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you Chu Vision! More

Awesome experience! Everyone is happy and smiling. More

Doc Chu works miracles! I am so happy with the correction/cataract work I've had done! Everyone there is AMAZING!!! More

Extremely personalized. Vision after surgery is exactly as described.. Doctors and nurses were absolutely fantastic. More

I am so grateful for Dr. Chu and his staff for making SMILE such an easy decision and procedure! Thanks for a new way of seeing life :) More

Very competent staff. Excellent doctors. More

Very professional, qualified, and friendly staff. I received LASIK surgery. Dr. Chu is accomplished and executes his craft with precision and timeliness. More

This place is Amazing! I had the SMILE procedure one month ago, and as of now I have excellent vision (20/20 or better), no symptoms besides some minor haloing at night. Pre surgery: during my pre op exam, it took a bit of time due to the amount of testing. During the exam the staff was incredibly friendly and would tell me about each test and why they were doing them. This gave me confidence that they were going to get things right. They wanted to make sure I would get the best results by ensuring the measurements were accurate. The exam is free if you go forward with surgery, otherwise it's a minor cost. They answered all my questions and were very upfront with cost and what would be covered for me. They also required a short quiz making sure I knew all the risks, what to expect post surgery, and to make sure I understood everything about the procedure. Surgery time: The procedure was very fast; as Dr. Chu was performing the surgery he would walk me through what was going to happen next and what I would experience. I felt very cared for during the entire experience. Post surgery: prior to going home, they gave me a very informative packet on care and a number to call should any problems arise. After the surgery, I went home and took a nap. Two hours after the surgery I could see, and it felt like there was something small in my eye. No pain, just a minor annoyance. The next day I had 20/20 vision, no pain or annoyance, and no glasses or contacts! I have had no complications or any issues since. Follow up exams: all of my follow up exams were quick and easy. They checked my eyes, my vision asked if I had any questions or concerns, and sent me on my way. As I stated before, I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Price: the price for the procedure here was slightly higher than some of their competitors, but not enough for me to reconsider. None of the competitors offered SMILE and didn't have as great of reviews. I decided to check out Chu Vision due to the high ratings. To me, the slight increase in cost was worth it going here knowing I'd be taken care of and that I'd be getting cutting edge surgery with new equipment. Of course, since it's my eyes I'm dealing with, I want to make sure it's a place I can trust. I highly recommend Dr. Chu and the SMILE procedure. There is no reason to do Lasik if you are Eligible for SMILE. Thank you Chu Vision! More

Dr Chu is excellent and staff was excellent also. #1 place. More

I recently visited the Chu clinic as my eye sight seemed to be getting worse and after being seen at Vision Works and another place which I care to forget the name, I was so pleasantly surprised. From the first step in the door to all my tests, the Dr. visit and back out the door, I was treated like a person and not a number. Thank you for your care, diagnosis, and your pleasant atmosphere. I will be coming back as they referred me to retinol specialist. I can not thank you enough. Keep up the good work you all do from the receptionist, to the xray tech., to the Dr. You make it easy to come to the Dr. More

I am so happy with my decision to get prk at Chu Vision. Everyone I've encountered during my consultation, procedure and followup have been wonderful, professional, and very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Dr. Chu and the entire staff. More

I have never met such a personable team before. Dr. Chu and his staff made me feel super comfortable with my decision to perform LASIK. Highly worth it. I can’t recommend them enough! More

I had LASIK at Chu Vision and my experience was amazing. Everyone made me feel comfortable and they were very informative on the process. I am so excited to be seeing 20/20 and would definitely recommend LASIK at Chu Vision to anyone!! More

They were quick and treated my mom well with her cataract removal. Also, they play the Oblivion and Skyrim soundtracks in the lobby. More

Very professional, qualified, and friendly staff. I received LASIK surgery. Dr. Chu is accomplished and executes his craft with precision and timeliness. More

dr chu is a gift from god.thank you from the bottom of my heart. not even 48 hours yet since my surgery. and I'm seeing wonderful. thank youuuuuuu. More

I’d been contemplating LASIK for many years, and debated doing it in fear that correcting my nearsightedness would worsen the ability of my close up vision. My hope was to be glasses and contacts free. With the procedure for mono vision, I was corrected for near and far vision impairment. No need for readers, or glasses/contacts for distance! I went from 20/400 vision to 20/20 in a procedure that lasted less than a few minutes! Thank you Dr. Chu!!! More

Great More

Chu staff was professional, courteous and willing to answer all of my questions. Would (and do!) recommend, Chu Vision to my family, friends... even strangers! More

I was very pleased with the staff at the clinic, Dr. Chu in particular. He has a way of making you feel comfortable and taken care of. I trust Dr. Chu to help me make the right decisions about my eyes. More

Did not get to see Dr. Chu personally. His staff was very knowledgable. More

Excellent experience! More

Excellent, welcoming, respectful staff. All aspects of the procedure fully explained. All follow-up appointments were handled promptly and with the same degree of professionalism as the two days of surgery. So glad I chose this vision center for my cataract surgery! More

The Chu Vision experience, because that is actually what it is, is fantastic. State of the art facilities, excellent staff in every department and great medical care. After wearing glasses for 48 years I am now glasses free! Thanks Chu Vision! More

I had a great experience at Chu Vision. My husband got lasik there about 4 years ago and had a great experience. So I followed suit and decided to get lasik this year. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and friendly. Dr. Chu was very thorough in explaining the process to me and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. The surgery was completely pain free and within hours I could see 20/20. I had some concerns over the weekend, which ended up being just dryness, and was quickly contacted and brought in by the on call dr to ensure everything was as it should be. I have had only positive experiences with the Chu Vision Institute and would highly recommend!! More

Excellent care and they really helped with my eye injury. Thank You More

It's the day after my lasik procedure and my post-op checkup revealed I'm already seeing 20/20 less than 24 hours after my procedure. The doctors and staff are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Comfortable experience all around and worth every cent. More

I would highly recommend Chu Vision Institute, for either yearly eye exams or eye surgery. The staff are very welcoming and comforting and Dr. Chu did an amazing job with my Lasik. I now have 20/20 vision with no side effects and could not be happier. More

Just had my LASIK surgery here. I cannot say enough positive things about my entire experience at Chu Vision Institute! All of the nurses and staff are so kind and welcoming. They made me feel enguinely cared for. Dr. Chu is awesome as well. I am extremely impressed with my care and my 20/20 vision in less than 24 hours of my surgery. I will be recommending all of my family and friends here! More

My experience at the Chu Vision Institute was fabulous! Every person is kind, caring, helpful and just delightful. From the moment I checked in, I felt welcome, cared for and safe. This place is the model for what healthcare should be. The process for cataract surgery is smooth and efficient and absolutely painless. I cannot recommend them all too highly. More

I was referred to Dr Chu by my optometrist. I also did my own research online and found Dr Chu highly qualified and well regarded. His medical degree and residency were at top-rated universities. He has taught other physicians and is known internationally. It is very intimidating to undergo surgery on the eyes and I wanted the best. I had cataract removal and Toric lense implant. Dr Chu and his staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. They are thorough and answer any questions or concerns. Then they go over the options that will work best for you. It's hard to explain how much of a difference this makes. Going from a lifetime of poor eye sight to 20/20 vision is nothing short of astounding. I have already recommended Dr Chu to others and I will continue to do so. More

Chu Vision Institute is wonderful! Every person I was in contact with was friendly and knowledgeable. My procedure was quick and painless. I would highly recommend to anyone to go see these amazing people! More

I cannot overstate how impressed I am with Dr. Chu and his staff. Everyone, from his receptionists and coordinators to his nurses and doctors were warm, polite, knowledgeable, and truly excited for me to go on my laser eye surgery journey. The entire testing process was extremely thorough, leaving no stone unturned to make sure that the best surgery option for my situation was selected. Once in the surgery studio, in the span of less than ten minutes, I went from being horrendously nearsighted to 20-30 vision, with 20-20 vision to come in the next couple weeks. I wholeheartedly recommend Chu Vision Institute to any and everyone who is considering laser eye surgery. Dr. Chu is a leader in his field for good reason; I could think of no one better suited to change your life as he did mine. More

I had my first cataract surgery 2 weeks ago, my second yesterday. I went with their crystalens implants and I am thrilled, surgery yesterday and I am 20/20 a day later- first time I've been 20/20 since I was around 5 and now I'm 57- really?? Wonderful people to help you, very positive and caring from Dr.Chu on down. A bit expensive but I don't think I could've made a better choice for my eyes, don't cheat yourself! More

I was very impressed with the Doctor that did my exam. Very knowlegeable and honest. Recommended we do nothing at this time. Showed great integrity in not suggesting surgery. Not impressed with their business practise of surprising you when you are leaving that they want payment up-front. Who does this. Everywhere else would run it through the insurance and bill you for what is left. Watch out for their billing practise. More

I've know/worked with Dr. Chu for almost 20 years and his knowledge and ability is among the top in the field. He has an incredible staff that help patients feel comfortable during times when most are anxious. I have referred several very good friends and family to him for surgery and all have had remarkable outcomes. More

Excellent care and they really helped with my eye injury. Thank You More

I just got LASIK surgery this afternoon and I am already astounded by the results. Dr. Chu is the best in the business. His professionalism and caring demeanor shine above the rest and I received A+ service from he and his team. More

I was referred to Dr Chu by my optometrist. I also did my own research online and found Dr Chu highly qualified and well regarded. His medical degree and residency were at top-rated universities. He has taught other physicians and is known internationally. It is very intimidating to undergo surgery on the eyes and I wanted the best. I had cataract removal and Toric lense implant. Dr Chu and his staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. They are thorough and answer any questions or concerns. Then they go over the options that will work best for you. It's hard to explain how much of a difference this makes. Going from a lifetime of poor eye sight to 20/20 vision is nothing short of astounding. I have already recommended Dr Chu to others and I will continue to do so. More

This place is Amazing! I had the SMILE procedure one month ago, and as of now I have excellent vision (20/20 or better), no symptoms besides some minor haloing at night. Pre surgery: during my pre op exam, it took a bit of time due to the amount of testing. During the exam the staff was incredibly friendly and would tell me about each test and why they were doing them. This gave me confidence that they were going to get things right. They wanted to make sure I would get the best results by ensuring the measurements were accurate. The exam is free if you go forward with surgery, otherwise it's a minor cost. They answered all my questions and were very upfront with cost and what would be covered for me. They also required a short quiz making sure I knew all the risks, what to expect post surgery, and to make sure I understood everything about the procedure. Surgery time: The procedure was very fast; as Dr. Chu was performing the surgery he would walk me through what was going to happen next and what I would experience. I felt very cared for during the entire experience. Post surgery: prior to going home, they gave me a very informative packet on care and a number to call should any problems arise. After the surgery, I went home and took a nap. Two hours after the surgery I could see, and it felt like there was something small in my eye. No pain, just a minor annoyance. The next day I had 20/20 vision, no pain or annoyance, and no glasses or contacts! I have had no complications or any issues since. Follow up exams: all of my follow up exams were quick and easy. They checked my eyes, my vision asked if I had any questions or concerns, and sent me on my way. As I stated before, I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Price: the price for the procedure here was slightly higher than some of their competitors, but not enough for me to reconsider. None of the competitors offered SMILE and didn't have as great of reviews. I decided to check out Chu Vision due to the high ratings. To me, the slight increase in cost was worth it going here knowing I'd be taken care of and that I'd be getting cutting edge surgery with new equipment. Of course, since it's my eyes I'm dealing with, I want to make sure it's a place I can trust. I highly recommend Dr. Chu and the SMILE procedure. There is no reason to do Lasik if you are Eligible for SMILE. Thank you Chu Vision! More

Dr Chu and his staff genuinely care about their patients. My wife had her cataracts done here and I just found out that one of my neighbors did, too. They both have nothing but praise for Chu Institute as well. More

I cannot overstate how impressed I am with Dr. Chu and his staff. Everyone, from his receptionists and coordinators to his nurses and doctors were warm, polite, knowledgeable, and truly excited for me to go on my laser eye surgery journey. The entire testing process was extremely thorough, leaving no stone unturned to make sure that the best surgery option for my situation was selected. Once in the surgery studio, in the span of less than ten minutes, I went from being horrendously nearsighted to 20-30 vision, with 20-20 vision to come in the next couple weeks. I wholeheartedly recommend Chu Vision Institute to any and everyone who is considering laser eye surgery. Dr. Chu is a leader in his field for good reason; I could think of no one better suited to change your life as he did mine. More

"Professional" is the best way to describe everything about this office.Front desk always greets me with a smile and kind word, and their check-in kiosks are super convenient. I can tell they see a lot of patients, but it never feels that way. Never have much of a wait (not like at other doctor offices) which I appreciate. I tend to be a question-asker, especially with medical things. And when meeting with the doctors, they don’t seem rushed or like they don’t have time for me and my questions. All in all, I wish more doctors offices were like this. Efficient, helpful and makes me really feel like they’re focused on my best interests. Highly recommend. More

Cataract took my vision away a year and a half ago, in just a few weeks my left eye, couldn’t see anything, fearing my right was heading in same tragic direction I came to Dr Chu clinic, was a fantastic experience, from initial meeting and options explained, measurements and surgery. We scheduled my eyes a few weeks apart. Dr Chu visits with each patient before and after surgery, the surgery only lasts a few minutes. Love my restored vision. Highly recommend Dr Chu clinic. Take time to read how he helps other countries!! Kudos all around. Cheers, Greg More

The whole process at Chu Vision was seemless and super friendly. I had LASIK and from the checkin desk to all of the doctors to all the other team members was fantastic. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Dr.Chu and his team with any type of eye surgery. Thanks everyone! More

I was always greeted with cheerful and helpful staff. My questions were answered and the doctors were really great at listening to my concerns and explaining the process of Lasik to me. Amazing experience! More

Dr. Chu and his team at Chu Vision Institute were phenomenal throughout my entire ASA process. Every person I spoke to knew my name and every person I encountered was kind and knowledgeable. Everyone made me feel welcome. As for my procedure, I couldn't be more than happy. Dr. Chu walked me through every step he was taking and made sure I was okay. Overall, my experience at Chu Vision Institute has been extremely positive! Highly recommended!! More

Chu has the best staff and Dr. ever More

I just had my cataracts removed on 12-29-2017 & 1-3-2018. What a great experience dealing with the Dr. and staff during my pre-op visit and both surgeries. I appreciated Dr. Chu taking the time to meet me before he worked on my eyes. The RNs and Pre-OP RNs took away my nervousness during the prep work before surgery and after in recovery. They made my visit fun! I'm thrilled with the clarity and distance restored. Julie Niederkorn More

I had the LASIK procedure done here and am glad I finally concurred my fear and did it. The staff and Dr Chu are all fantastic. I am seeing clearly without glasses or contacts! More

Excellent. I had Lasik on both eyes and everything was wonderful from the initial consultation to the follow up exams. Very friendly and caring staff, clean an modern facility, and free espresso/latte in the waiting room :) Dr. Chu is professional and kind, I trusted him completely with my procedure. Would recommend to anyone for any eye conditions. More

I had lasic done in 2000 and have no need for glasses ever since. Very happy with the results. More

Always caring and professional. More

The procedure went well and now I have 20/20 vision. The staff is great there and very professional. I would highly recommend Chu Vision. More

Chu Vision is an excellent place to go. I was early and they took me a head of schedule. All of the technicians I saw were friendly and helpful. Dr. Harrie did a great job explaining things to me. I love going there for my eye exams. Thank you. More

Excellent experience! Highly recommend to use this clinic. More

Best decision I ever made! Dr. Chu is the best for lasik! More

If there were 10 stars, that's what I'd give Dr. Chu and his team! More

Chu Vision Institute is wonderful and I am going back for all my future eyecare needs. The reception area is warm and inviting with lots of hot coffee, water and friendly staff. The nurses and doctors I saw respected my time, explained everything in detail and made me feel like a valued customer and patient. More

Everyone I worked with at Chu Vision to get LASIK was fantastic! They explain everything you need to know so thoroughly and go above and beyond to get you the treatment best for you. Dr. Chu was friendly, easy to talk with and helped keep me calm during the whole procedure which I was very nervous about. I couldn't have asked for a better care team! I HIGHLY recommend Chu Vision Institute! More

Cannot say enough positive things about Chu Vision Institute!! Dr. Chu is awesome and made me feel so comfortable the entire way through my lasik procedure! More

I had cataract surgery in both eyes - what a difference: It was like going from VHS to 4k! My vision is excellent, and for the first time since Junior High I don't wear glasses. The ChuVision staff was professional and caring throughout my treatment. Especially welcome was ordering a taxi for transportation to and from the clinic (I've never heard of that being done anywhere else). The entire experience was beyond my expectations. Well done - and thus highly recommended. More

I first had LASIK surgery done by Dr. Chu in 1999. He has since done several other surgeries on my eyes. Without hesitation I would recommend his clinic to anyone needing attention to their eyes. The staff is skilled, professional and puts you at ease. The practices and technologies are state of the art (from what I read) and I have had nothing but excellent results. I am a very happy client and would urge others to check with Chu Vision first when considering anything to do with their eye care. More

Wow. What an experience. I brought my daughter to Chu Vision Institute because she was having trouble seeing at a distance. We saw Dr. Chu’s colleague, Dr. Thermes. She and the other professionals in the office were SO throrough and awesome. This is for sure the best place in Minnesota, if not the country. We were blown away. More

My husband and I both had cataract surgery at the Chu Clinic and were both so happy with it. It is an amazing place to go and would recommend him to any one with an eye problem. Thank you so very much! More

I have had bad eyes since I was seven years old. Recently I went to my eye Dr. and we came to the conclusion that there was only one option left for me. He set me up with Dr. Chu for lens replacement surgery. It turned out I had cataracts in both eyes. He set me up for surgery and was kind enough to do both eyes back to back. He has surpassed my expectations. It has been just over 24hr. on my left eye, and I can already see better then I had with my contacts or glasses. This has been truly a miracle for me and I am excited to live my life through my new eyes. Thanks so much for what you have done for me. More

From day one, Dr Chu and his experienced world class professional staff have been amazing, beyond my expectations. I continue to feel they have my best interest in mind and they care so much about their patients. I was referred to Chu Vision Institute by my fiancé's brother who was very pleased with his lasik procedure. He had told me that Dr Chu is the best of the best and in fact that night I first heard of him, I had seen him on the Nightly News. When you walk into the off...ice it becomes very apparent the level of experience at his office by all the awards, certifications and media/articles he's been featured in. I came in last year for my initial consult not knowing what to expect. They did a thorough job of examining my eyes and consulting me afterwards - whether I'd be a good candidate, the different options, the risks and their recommendation - Modern PRK or ASA to treat my myopia and astigmatism. I planned the following year to get the procedure done and since it was more than 6 months from my original measurements they had me come in again to confirm they had everything correct and my vision was consistent which to me was very impressive. The day of my first procedure I felt educated on the process and although anytime you go into surgery you can't help but feel nervous, the nurses and other doctors in the room made me comfortable. Dr Chu was right there coaching me through the whole procedure and it was so surprisingly easy. The post op service is amazing too! A nurse is available 24/7 to answer any concerns or questions you may have. Luckily I didn't need to call during odd hours but they were very friendly with my "is this normal?" post op questions and there were many because that's just the kind of person I am! Now, I can see without glasses or contacts and my life is changed! Thank you Chu Vision Institute for everything. I will continue to sing your praise! Lastly, I will certainly become a donator to your foundation as well! You guys do great work and I love that you give back as well! You truly are changing the lives for many people around the world!

I was very apprehensive of anything being done to my eyes, the Chu staff took care of that. From the very first appointment till the final surgery they listened, calmed and answered all my questions immediately and in a way that was easily understandable. My vision since the procedure has improved to a point where I don't use glasses any longer for my distance vision and use readers in some situations for small print. Am so happy I went forward with this. More

When I made the move to Minnesota (2015) after living in Wisconsin for 60 plus years, I found it to be a somewhat daunting task to find new medical providers. Then I found the Dr. Chu Vision Institute. I was ecstatic as Dr. Chu had performed my lasik eye surgery in Eau Claire, Wisconsin back in 1998! Finding his eye care facility and the caring staff associated with it here was amazing! Both my husband and I now receive eye care from the staff there and are so pleased with the time taken to answer questions and perform detailed extensive eye exams. Highly recommend this medical facility! More

I go in for a diabetic eye check not for surgery. I get the same great care that everyone else is raving about. Great, friendly and attentive staff.

I had the Smile technique (lasik) done almost 2 weeks ago and am so happy I did. I have been very impressed with the care I have received and have the utmost respect for Dr. Chu. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a fantastic lasik experience. I really felt like their only patient. More

I am thrilled to say that after wearing glasses or contacts for 61 years, I am now able to see 20/20 without correction!!! Thanks to Dr. Chu at the Chu Vision Institute and all the wonderful nurses, optometrists, and staff for my successful cataract surgery with crystalens. I needed a little tweaking of laser in one eye, but it has turned out great. What a joy to be able to see when I'm swimming! I still reach for my glasses each morning, but what a good feeling when I remember I don't need them. I will always remember the wonderful way I have been treated by Dr. Chu and his staff.

Scheduling via phone challenging. Check in on day of appointment was smooth and staff was very professional. Technicians were friendly and professional. Both ladies I spoke with were attentive, friendly, professional and took the time to listen to what my needs ad concerns were. Doctor Marc Harrie, O.D. was attentive professional, friendly and discussed my needs and concerns at length. He determined that based on my current vision needs and degree of correction necessary, that corrective surgery was not going to be a benefit to me at this time. Brilliant! A health care team who turns work away in the patients interest. When the time does come,. I will be returning to this team! More

I would like to thank everyone at Chu Vision for my gift of the best sight that I can remember. I am simply amazed with the professionalism of the entire staff. The procedures in both eyes was pain free. I cannot express what good eyesight and being completely free of any corrective lens means to me. Thank you Dave Kight More

When you choose a surgeon to cut into your eyeballs, you want it to be the very best and most experienced. I'll be honest - I was scared about cataract surgery. But from start to finish I felt like I was in the best of hands at this very well-run operation. The entire team was very caring and kind and you could tell they liked working here. The process was easy and painless and I am very pleased with my results. THIS is the place to go if you are facing such a procedure. Thank you Dr Chu and team. More

Dr. Davis is a wonderful doctor. He is honest and stated that my vision wasn't very bad and that if I was in his family that he wouldn't recommend correction at all as I would lose more of my up close vision and would likely be disappointed. We will try a single contact lens for now. It's refreshing to find a doc who isn't out to make a buck and is genuinely caring for the best interest of his patient. Spent quite a bit of his time discussing pros and cons with me. I am so glad he did!read more More

Spent quite a bit of his time discussing pros and cons with me. I am so glad he did!show more More

Very state-of-the-art environment, friendly and kind staff with a very professional attitude. More

When you choose a surgeon to cut into your eyeballs, you want it to be the very best and most experienced. I'll be honest - I was scared about cataract surgery. But from start to finish I felt like I was in the best of hands at this very well-run operation. The entire team was very caring and kind and you could tell they liked working here. The process was easy and painless and I am very pleased with my results. THIS is the place to go if you are facing such a procedure. Thank you Dr Chu and team. More

Very friendly, competent professional staff. The optometrist, Dr. Davis and staff took time to explain my options, and were focused on my best interests rather than profit. I had been considering a Lasic touchup for one of my eyes, but was informed about other more effective, cost-efficient options. More

As an active professional I needed the flexibility in their services and the high touch care the Chu Vision Institute offers. I relied on the staffs knowledge of the procedure (PRK) and went to the best in the Midwest. Dr. Chu's experience and advise really outlined the differentiators of eye care which in today's world can be confusing. I knew I wanted to get rid of my contacts and glasses, but wanted the right procedure done by the right person - as you only have one set of eyes! Thank you Team Chu, I now have 20/20 vision and can enjoy life in a much more fulfilling way. More

I've had nothing but stellar performance from everyone at Chu Vision. Everyone on the staff is friendly and professional. I have total confidence in Dr. Chu and his fellow staff. It's a great place to address all your vision needs. I highly recommend this clinic if you're in need of eye work. More

I went to Chu Vision to get LASIK done in May of 2014. I've never had any sort of real surgery (except when I got my appendix out) and so I wasn't sure what to expect. As you can imagine you need to be sure you go to a good place when you get eye surgery! I chose Dr. Chu due to his reputation as I received numerous recommendations. While I was nervous in the beginning, the Chu Vision staff put me at ease very quickly, and then when it came time to have the surgery everything went very smoothly. Dr. Chu walked me through the procedure, and that very evening I was able to see without my contact lenses. My recovery was quick and easy. I highly recommend Chu Vision and have told many of my personal friends about the experience. It is now 2015 and I have had no issues or problems, and am thrilled to be done with my glasses! More

I would recommend Chu Vision Institute and Dr. Ralph Chu to anyone. In fact, I brought my sister to have cataract surgery recently because of my successful surgery two years ago. More

Dr. Davis was very informative. I appreciate the time that was taken to explain the procedure, including the risks involved for my specific case. While I was really hoping to have LASIK, I was grateful that they informed me of the risks of the procedure due to my specific prescription...and decided it would be best for me to not pursue this option. I can tell that everyone loves their job and tries to go the extra mile to give excellent customer service. More

Fantastic experience! I had a terrible experience with my first eye surgeon at another location but Dr Chu and his staff did an amazing job of working with me to correct the issue. They took their time, they listened to me and made sure I completely understood each step before moving forward. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting quality eye care. More

If anyone had told me I would be able to function without glasses, I would not have believed it! For the first time in 50 years, I do not need glasses to drive, watch television, or work. It borders on a miracle! The staff at Chu vision has been professional, caring and calming. More

Exceptional service, exceptional staff, exceptional results! Dr. Ralph Chu has a state of the art facility in Bloomington providing the type of care that I wish all clinics would emulate. From the front desk to the clinical staff and business office, the culture of respect and caring is striking. At your consultation visit you are given a folder of information that is carefully explained to you, and all surgical and post-surgical follow-up appointments are made at that time. As a patient, I never wondered what it would cost, how it would feel, what to expect after surgery, or when to follow-up. Amazing! Dr. Chu is the only one to trust with your eyes, and his clinic staff will make you glad that you chose him. More

Dr. Chu removed cataracts from both of my eyes 2 years ago and that was an amazing experience. People said I would be surprised at how white things would get and boy was that true!! After the first surgery, I couldn't wait for the second one! When I went back for my 1 year checkup, they asked how my eyes were doing. I told them my vision was blurry after working on the computer all day. The nurse explained that the film that was around the lens sometimes gets wrinkled and the light would get distorted when it hit that. They suggested the YAG procedure that would break up that film to get rid of the blurry vision. I just had my second eye done today and I am SO amazed at how well I see now!! The procedure only took 2 minutes and I walked out with 20/20 vision!! No more glasses for me!! I would suggest this to anyone having any issues after cataract surgery!! More

I came for a second opinion. When I walked in the first day I was impressed. It was a home away from home experience . Everyone is friendly and has a lot of knowledge in what Doctor Chu does here. My questions where answered to the fullest, I walked away with confidence that I was in great hands, and I knew that I had choose the right place to give the second option that I was looking for. More

I had an eye condition for 4-5 months before I went into Chu Vision, was nervous it was going to be a big deal to correct. After my first meeting I was told it would be no problem and after an hour appointment I haven't had to deal with it since. Everyone, from the nurses to the doctors, I encountered were knowledgeable, confident, friendly and compassionate. If I have another eye issue I know where I'm going. More

I have long been a patient at Chu Vision for eye care, and always found everything about the clinic to be top-notch. My opinion of the clinic was fortified even further this past November when I suffered a corneal abrasion and needed extended treatment to ensure that this painful and, yes, scary injury healed correctly. Kudos especially to Dr. Dan Davis and Dr. Michelle Watson for their skill, professionalism, and caring attitude; it made all the difference. More

I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes with amazing results. I'm pretty much glasses-free, except for occasional use of readers. After over 50 years of wearing glasses all the time, this is unbelievable! It's like my world is all high definition! From Dr. Chu and the crew at Chu Vision Institute in Bloomington, I received TOP NOTCH care. I couldn't be happier with the the whole experience, all the interactions with support staff, nurses, doctors, etc. I received all the information and support that I could possible need to make the right decision about my eyes. Surgery days were smooth sailing...what a team! Post-surgery has been a breeze, too. I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. As the song goes, I can see clearly now, and I have the Chu Vision Institute to thank! More

Wow! I can see again! It is impossible to say how happy I am after my cataract surgery by Dr. Chu. Everything has gone so smoothly and Dr. Chu's staff is super. I had previous Lasik surgery here as well years ago, and I had an outstanding outcome then, too. It is so important to be seen by someone with loads of experience and with a stellar reputation. Thank you for my crystal clear vision, Dr. Chu! More

After wearing glasses everyday since I was 12, I finally decided to get LASIK. I went from -4.5 in one eye and -5.5 in the other (+ astigmatism), to having 20/20 vision! The actual operation with the laser took less than one minute and I was able to go to work the next day. There were some halos and eye fatigue the first two weeks (so I was working at about 40% capacity, I would estimate), but all the negative effects decreased over time. Now, it’s a month later and I’m great! Should have done this a few years ago! More

I had my surgery less than a week ago and my eyes are already showing 20/20 results. I've had such a wonderful experience here at Chu Vision. I highly recommend for anyone looking into LASIK to come here! More

Great experience!  I’ve worn contacts since high school and I haven’t been able to see the big E on the eye chart for years.  I’m a professional pilot, so I was nervous about having surgery in case anything went wrong.At my first visit I was told of all the worst case scenarios.  Even after that I still had enough confidence in Dr Chu after hearing so many good things about him.  The entire staff was very professional and friendly.  From the doctors and nurses to the very helpful financial coordinators I had a wonderful experience.I had the ASA surgery and after one month I see 20/20.  I still don’t feel like it’s real.  I don’t have enough nice things to say about Dr Chu and his staff.

I am always amazed to be treated like a human being instead of a number. The staff at the clinic were great! One thing I wish I would have had the doctor write down the disease I have, I had thought my daughter Jenny would remember...we both failed and cannot remember what she called the feathery membrane in the back of my eye. The doctor volunteered to do it..but I was sure one of us wouldremember! Thank you for your prompt service and though my eyesight will not be 20-20 in my right eye again, at least I have a clear understanding of what is happening.show more More

We were with an ophthalmologist with my mom when she was hospitalized at Fairview Ridges Hospital after falling directly on her eye and the optic nerve swelled immediately and died. At that time, we asked for a recommendation for a good doctor who treated Fuchs Dystrophy of the eye, which my husband had. This physician said, "If it were me, I would only allow Dr. Ralph Chu to touch my eyes." And that is our opinion as well. The entire clinic is so professional and caring, Dr. Chu is amazing at what he does (go and see his awards and news articles framed all over the building), and we will continue our care there as long as we are able.

They were on time, courteous, and professional. Originally told me 45 minutes and it was exactly 45 minutes, was able to get it done on my lunch break. They were straight forward and honest with me, and Unfortunately I'm not a candidate for surgery. I would highly recommend them to anyone. More

Dr. Y. Ralph Chu did my Lasik surgery nearly a decade ago now. My husband did all the research, and this guy was the leader of the pack. He was knowledgeable, personable, and made me feel at ease. These years later, I would recommend him-- and the procedure-- to anyone considering it. More
