Anchorage Eye Associates

Once upon a time, I thought all eye care was equal. They have machines to diagnose you, right? Very wrong. I first saw Dr. M last year after getting a mis-​diagnosis from a different Anchorage eye doctor. I’m very glad I did.
I was pleased by his professionalism and thoroughness, and the fact that he didn’t screw up my diagnosis, and I returned this year because of it.
His staff is friendly and helpful, whether it’s answering questions about insurance, ordering different styles to try, or getting advice in looks. I appreciated that they printed out my insurance details and went over them with me as I picked glasses out. They are also patient, as I take a long time to choose my styles (glasses are too expensive to just rush into one pair).
There’s a good variety of styles there, too. Maybe not the biggest around, but enough for me to find what suited my tastes. I’m happy. I found glasses and sunglasses that suit me, and I can see better with my new prescription, just like I’m supposed to. I’ll go back again next year, and my husband has an appointment there, too.

I had an excellent experience at Anchorage Eye Associates. A co-​worker recommended them to me. She said that with our insurance our out-​of-​pocket costs are very little and they had lots of frame choices. I did read Brenda’s review before I went, but I was not deterred. The experience Brenda described is pretty typical for optometrists. I’ve never had the undivided attention of an eye doctor at any office I’ve been to because eye exams are always done in phases, and I didn’t expect my experience at Anchorage Eye Associates to be any different.
I called the day before my appointment to see if they could squeeze me in and that was no problem. When I arrived, I filled out my paperwork and was seen promptly. The doctor was pleasant and explained everything to me as we went along. He answered all my questions in a way that I could understand. He wasn’t chatty, but he was professional and courteous. The 2 gals at the front desk were very helpful and helped me fill out all my paperwork, explained what my insurance would and would not pay for, and pick out frames that worked for my face. I was VERY pleased at the large assortment of super-​cute frames. Lots of cute bling-​y eyeware for the ladies.
I can’t wait for my glasses to come in. :)

This place only had one optometrist, two receptionists, and three clients at 3 o’clock on a Wednesday. Wtf is that?! They (my friend being one of them) basically had to take turns to get their eyes checked like it was a game of tag. Yeah, this isn’t the place to go to if you truly want quality care.
