“Dr Traverse and all the staff at the Plymouth office are always so welcoming and professional. I have been going to Kennedy Vision for 20 years and they have always treated all my eye issues with great care. I recommend if you are looking for a new eye doctor this is the place you should go.”
Testimonial Quote

- Monica Z.

“After years of our insurance limiting us to another eye provider in Elk River, it was such a treat to have Kennedy Vision added as an option. Everyone was so friendly, and the doctor and techs were extremely thorough. This is such a change to what we’ve been used to. My husband and I both will be making Kennedy Vision Health Center our primary provider.”
Testimonial Quote

- Tanya B.

“I have a phobia of going to eye doctors. Always have, always will. But I was so impressed by this clinic. They could tell I was nervous and were so kind and no-judgmental about the whole process. They were patient when it took longer for me to do certain tests because I was nervous. They heard all of my concerns and did a very thorough exam. Can’t recommend highly enough!!”

Testimonial Quote

- Erik M.

“I have worn glasses for 24 years and contacts for 15. Over the years I have had many eye doctors but my experience at Kennedy Vision Health Center in Plymouth was the best I have ever had. Dr. Kennedy was outstanding and made changes to my prescription and asked questions no other eye doctor has before and I am seeing better than ever. The staff was extremely helpful in finding me new eye glasses and sunglasses as well. I cannot wait until they come in. Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone.”
