This is a superbly run clinic from appointment setting to front desk to tech exam and the real greatness lies in Dr. Uttley. He is polite, professional, and most importantly clearly knows what he is doing. I trust him, like the fact that he and his staff stay cutting edge with state-of-art equipment. Dr Uttley and his clinic are top shelf. Plus everything is super clean and I feel completely comfortable there. In addition to 100%, A+ to all there I must give an additional kudos/shout out to the outstanding abilities of tech Brenna ~ superb exam and communication prior to my exam with the boss. Well done St Paul Eye Clinic. Next stop cataract surgery there ~ with comfort and complete trust ~ thanks!

Visit with Dr. Uttley was great. Very knowledgeable staff for pre visit with him. Dr. Uttley is a true professional. Answered all of my questions and did not rush the visit even though he had other patients waiting to see him. I have been seeing him for a few years and I highly recommend that anyone else seeking an ophthalmologist choose him as well.

I felt that he did not take the time he usually takes and said pressures were good but did not say what they were. Some thing just felt off. Not the same as usual. But he is a good dr.
