Cristelle E. Boots, OD joined the Doctor of Optometry team at Minnesota Eye Consultants in 2021. Seeing patients out of our Blaine and Woodbury offices, Dr. Boots specializes in Primary Eye Care and Dry Eye.

Dr. Boots earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Winnipeg and received her Doctor of Optometry degree from Illinois College of Optometry. She has completed four externships: The Eye Centers of South Florida Dan and Hoffman, Miami, FL, the Illinois Eye Institute, Chicago, IL, Boyco Image Optometry, Vancouver, and William Chapel Jr. Veterans Outpatient Clinic, Daytona Beach, FL. Following graduation, Dr. Boots worked with ophthalmologists in Indiana, seeing a lot of complex ocular disease such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy and doing pre and post op surgical care.

Dr. Boots is a former competitive gymnast as well, representing team Manitoba 2004-2008. She coached and mentored aspiring gymnastics following her career in gymnastics. When she is not working, Dr. Boots likes to spend time with her family and friends, try new restaurants, and travel whenever possible.

“I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with many exceptional doctors who have encouraged and supported my passion, providing me with an invaluable knowledge base and reinforcing my diagnostic, communication, leadership and patient-doctor relationship skills. My goals are to use these skills, combined with an outstanding educational foundation, in providing the highest quality of patient care in all areas of optometry.” – Dr. Cristelle E. Boots

I didn't have an appt but I needed urgent care for my highly irritated eye condition. She had my pressure measured and examined my eyes and assured me nothing was amiss due to the recent surgery and concluded with her observation tht something foreign, a particle blowin in by wind or change in hand cream caused the eyes to react. Prescribed a topical ointment. I am highly grateful she took the time to see me. She seems very warm and compassionate.

When I told by my optometrist that there were problems with my vision more needed to be done than what they could and needed to go to a specialist, I won’t kid you, I was scared. I had no idea what to expect, I was recommended Minnesota Eye Consultants. As I attended my appointment, I mentioned that I was scared because it’s my eyes that were talking about and don’t have any clue what to expect. Dr. Boots and the entire staff are THE BEST. Dr. Boots really listened to my concerns and why it was I was scared, and reassured me that she can help, which really put my mind at ease. From the very start of my examination, she and her staff explained everything to me to where I could totally understand what was going on with my vision and what they are going to do to correct it. Again, the BEST experience ever, and would recommend this place and Dr. Boots to anyone and everyone.

Seeing a different dr than usual is always a bit worrisome. But Dr Buisse far surpassed by expectations, and assessed and addressed my eye issue on the spot. I went home feeling comfortable and much better. She gets my vote for great bedside manner as well. I enjoy knowing I have two good choices at this clinic now.
