Dr Sullivan was dismissive about my concern for a huge blind spot in my left eye that is impairing the vision about 50%. He literally spent a minute with me, He reviewed the eye results from the staff who had done the work. I finally even get to Dr Sullivan; he me I have have glaucoma, gave a sample of drops to take once a day, I took the drops 2 nights and discontinued from the pain in my eyeballs. I inherently knew there was more to this. So I go to an OPTOMETRIST for glasses, I tell him my concerns and he personally takes the TIME to LISTEN well and checks and checks my eye in assorted ways in order to confirm what he believes is the problem, Yes he can see a bit of glaucoma, but the blind spot is not because of the glaucoma, but he believes from a "floater" in the vitreous fluid that that appears to be a strand connected to Cloquet's Canal.

UPDATE- 08/27/2021- I've been a patient of dr. Sullivan's for several years. In March at the beginning of the pandemic I went to a scheduled appointment and the nurses walking up and down the halls with no masks on. People in the waiting rooms were taking their masks off to talk. But then when I left the receptionist would not put her mask on so I could step up to the desk to check out. I left disgusted.

Each time they called me for my follow-up visits I refuse to go in because of their lack of caring about covid. When they call the couple of months ago they apologized to me and assured me they had begun correct protocols including masting and social distancing. I agreed to come back in following my ankle surgery and today was that visit. When they called to confirm it yesterday I was assured after asking that they we're social distancing, limiting the amount of people in their office and we're serious about mask-wearing. I got there today to a packed waiting room with no social distancing. When I asked why they had told me they were doing so they told me I could wait in my car but it would probably be a 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours. It's 90° outside. I left and called my other eye specialist to get in to see his retina dr. When I call back to dr. Sullivan's office to request my records be transferred the nurse informed me that they didn't have to socially distance because the CDC didn't require it. I told her that was simply not true and that I was allergic to the vaccine and was concerned for my safety. When she began to yell at me that I was wrong I told her that I was not going to argue with her but I wanted my records transferred. I am so disgusted. To top it off I'm on crutches from ankle surgery and drug my butt across town for this visit and it was a waste of time.

March 2019- This is my original review - While I am huge fan of Dr. Sullivan, today's visit was very stressful. First two nurses I dealt with didn't have their masks on correctly, they were wearing 5hem on the tip of their nose. Not filtering air. An elderly lady in the waiting room had her mask under her nose and the staff refused to tell her to put it on correctly .. It is the businesses responsibility to make sure the mask mandate is followed!

Mighty like a God unto me.. I could not see out of my left eye. He operated and removed all of the black matter... I CAN SEE AGAIN..!! I will remember this man for the rest of my life. I am so Happy.! You may have to wait a while to see him as he has 100 patients a day. .But, it is entirely worth it. I would recommend no other. The first doctor I went to told me to just go home and live with my condition.... NOT THIS DOCTOR-- HE FIXED WHAT WAS WRONG.. !!! Let me give you a clue folks.. when ever you go to a doctor and he gives you nothing but a gloom and doom report--- GO AND GET YOURSELF A SECOND OPINION. I AM SO GLAD I DID. DR. JOHN P. SULLIVAN IS THE BEST !
