Northwest Eye Maple Grove: Where Eye Care Meets Community

On the shore of Arbor Lake in Maple Grove, Northwest Eye Maple Grove is more than just an eye clinic – it’s a place where generations of families trust their eye health to compassionate professionals who care deeply about the community.

The clinic, located at 12000 Elm Creek Boulevard North, Suite 100, just on the corner of Elm Creek and Hemlock is part of a broader network of Northwest Eye locations that has been serving the Twin Cities area for over 50 years. April Miller, Director of Operations, put it best when she said, “It is so good to be part of a business that has been around for so long and continues to be at the forefront of ophthalmology.”

Rooted in Passion and Experience

The team at Northwest Eye Maple Grove brings decades of experience to their work. Melissa Hart, Clinic Operations Manager, shared her journey: “I’ve been in the business 30 years. I actually started as a front desk person in another state… I have done every facet in the clinic.” April Miller echoed a similar passion: “I fell in love with eyes… I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”

This is the type of commitment, common at Northwest Eye, that translates into exceptional care for every patient, from toddlers visiting for their first eye exam to seniors coming in for cataract surgery. As April Miller explained, “We really have the ability to grow with you from your childhood all the way into later in life… We just become one big family.”

Comprehensive Care for All Ages

Northwest Eye Maple Grove offers a wide range of services under one roof, making it convenient for patients at any stage of life:

Eye exams for adults and children
Contact lens fittings and prescriptions
Dry eye treatments
Surgical services such as cataract surgery and eyelid procedures
Pediatric care tailored to the youngest patients
On-site optical shop for frames and lenses

This full-service model means families can turn to one trusted clinic for everything from vision correction to diagnosing eye diseases. The team’s approach is deeply patient-centered. April Miller highlighted this by saying, “Our providers are truly the best thing about our organization. They care about the patients… The environment that we create when a patient is there… continues with the care that we give them as well.”

A Community Anchor in Maple Grove

Northwest Eye Maple Grove is proud to be part of a fast-growing, vibrant community. April Miller remarked, “The community is just constantly continuing to evolve and grow over the years… as a clinic we want to evolve and grow and we are so fortunate to be part of a community that is constantly doing that.”

Their connection to the community goes beyond medical care – they are actively engaged locally and form partnerships with primary care providers, making it easy for families to get referred for comprehensive eye care when needed.

Why Eye Care Matters

One thing the team hopes more people understand is how essential eye care is to overall health. April Miller shared a powerful story: “We did a dilated eye exam… saw something in the back of their eye… ended up having to call 911. If they wouldn’t have been there for that eye exam, that medical event would probably have gone unnoticed and could have created long-term effects.”

She continued, “Eye exams are more than just getting glasses. Eye exams are a huge part of the health of any person… you truly just never know.”

That perspective is central to why Northwest Eye Maple Grove takes such care with every patient. As Heidi Hoehn-Low, Regional Marketing Manager, noted, “Your eyes are your gateway to your overall health… Sometimes we find things that are beyond the eyes which can be meaningful and impactful in a patient’s life and for their family.”

Looking Ahead

The future for Northwest Eye Maple Grove is bright. As April Miller put it, “Our goal is to grow our clinic so we can reach and help more people. There’s nothing more rewarding than being able to preserve someone’s vision or improve their ability to see, it truly makes a difference in their lives.”

Their dream is to bring life-changing moments to children and adults alike – for instance, when a child puts on glasses for the first time and exclaims, “I didn’t know you could see outlines of leaves on a tree.”
