New Dunes Clinic Offers Complete Eye Care and Midwest Hospitality

Miracles are happening in Dakota Dunes.

The gift of clear vision is one of the many medical miracles happening at the Dakota Dunes Tower Medical Center. A simple surgical procedure offered at Bruening Eye Specialists is changing lives.

"It's such a gratifying procedure," Dr. Beth Bruening, M.D. explained about cataract surgery, a procedure she has been doing for 17 years. "Patients come in that haven't been able to see to read. They come in the next day (after surgery) and they're like "Wow!" One lady said to me, "Wow, it's like you put telescopes in my eyes, so now I can really see." And you feel so good about that."

Making people feel good is just one of the many goals Bruening has as a Board Certified Comprehensive Ophthalmologist in Dakota Dunes, SD.

Her practice assists patients with a range of eye health concerns including the need for cataract surgery, treatments for glaucoma and macular degeneration to eyelid lift surgery, basic eye exams and fittings for contacts or glasses.

"We see anybody who complains of decreased vision, eye pain or eye redness. We take care of all eye concerns," Bruening reassures of the multiple services her practice can provide.

Bruening and her staff are happy to work with her patient's family optometrist when planning a surgical procedure or other medical treatment options. "We're here to work as part of a team with all the eye care providers that are around," Bruening noted.

Bruening moved her practice to the Dakota Dunes Tower Medical Center in February, after practicing in Sioux City since 1991.

"We have such a beautiful facility to be able to offer our patients. Everything about it is relaxing and more calming," Bruening explained about their new business building. "It makes you feel good to have somewhere nice for your patients."

But, the decision to move Bruening Eye Specialists to Dakota Dunes was not an easy one.
