Steve Reinders

Optometrist and Owner

I grew up on a farm in Southwestern MN and graduated from Windom High School.  After picking rocks, walking beans and feeding cattle for 18 years, I attended the University of MN for undergraduate studies and after several grueling years of school received a Doctorate in Optometry from Pacific University in 1993.  I then served the Southern suburbs while on staff at Park Nicollet Clinic in Burnsville for 17 years before opening Complete Family Eyecare in 2010 with my wife Jennifer.

I have been married to Jennifer since 2003 and we have two daughters, Abigail and Isabelle (a.k.a. “Nitro and Glycerin”).  When not chasing the kids or looking at eyeballs, I enjoy waterskiing and lounging on Prior Lake where I have lived for 21 years and serve as the Prior Lake Association President. 

Jennifer Reinders

Manager and Owner

Jennifer was born in Virginia MN and graduated from Apple Valley (Valley Girl) High School. She married Steve at Shepherd of The Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake in 2003. Their daughters are 11 and 13 years old. Jennifer attended Methodist Hospital School of Radiology and enjoyed a 20 year career at Park Nicollet where she continued to work part time until 2016. 

Jennifer has been the driving force behind Complete Family Eyecare since its inception in 2010.  While in the clinic she is the ultimate multi-tasker, taking care of everything from answering the phone, special testing, and frame selection to insurance filing. When not in the clinic, she runs the Reinders household, taking excellent care of Steve and the kids (Nitro & Glycerin).  In her 15 minutes of spare time per week, she enjoys her flowers and gardening. 

Chantel Reid

ABO Certified Optician

Chantel serves in the critical role of “Director of First Impressions.”  She commands the front desk and is the face behind the friendly voice on our scheduling line.  Chantel is originally from Eagle Lake, Minnesota. We were very fortunate to rescue Chantel from the corporate optical world and bring her on staff in 2012.  Besides taking excellent care of patients and countless office tasks, Chantel also assists Jennifer with the insurance battle.   All this while putting up with Dr Steve’s foolishness on a daily basis.

In her spare time Chantel enjoys fishing and the outdoors.  Her and her husband Gilbert have a lake property where most of their weekends are spent .

Kelsy Hoene

Marketing Director

Kelsy is our Marketing and Sales representative. She is the friendly face you will see at community chamber of commerce events promoting our clinic. Kelsy is originally from Mound, MN. She resides in Mayer, MN with her husband, Tom and 2 little rugrats Hudson (9) and Jaxon (5) that keep her on her toes. Needless to say, this job is actually a nice escape for her from the grind of raising 2 very active little boys… In Kelsy’s spare time you can find her on Lake Waconia boating, enjoying time with friends and family or making jewelry.

Colleen Stulz

Assistant Technician

Colleen enjoys spending time with her husband and two little girls exploring new parks, going on bike rides, and just being together. During her free time she enjoys photography, hanging out with friends, working out and playing softball once a week. Oh and drinking coffee all day just to stay awake and wine at night to help her sleep! Haha.

Kathy Aho

You can’t have a family owned and operated clinic without the mother-in-law being involved. Jennifer’s mother Kathy is originally from Babbit, MN and has two daughters and four grandchildren – all girls. Kathy has been in nursing for over 30 years working in the world of Ears, Nose and Throat – ironically very close to the eyes. 

Kathy and her husband of 35 years spend their spare time at their cabin on Lake Vermillion.  They are also instrumental in helping Jennifer and Dr. Steve contain Nitro and Glycerin.
