Matthew R. Ramsey, M.D.

" Having the privilege to apply my talents to improve people’s vision, and listening to them revel at the difference in their vision before and after cataract surgery, in particular, is very fulfilling."

He went on to complete residency programs at Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Darby, PA, and Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Ramsey shares his life with his wife, Erika, and their two children. Outside of his practice, he is an active athlete, participating in triathlon competitions. He also enjoys going north to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and spending time on the lakes around the Twin Cities.

Dr. Ramsey was first inspired to become an eye doctor by his father, who practices ophthalmology in Salt Lake City. He spent many of his younger years working as an ophthalmic technician at his father’s office, earning money for college and graduate courses.

Dr. Ramsey sees patients at our Golden Valley, Maple Grove, St. Anthony and Wayzata Northwest Eye locations.
