It has been 7 years now and I still have perfect vision. No glasses, no contacts--I'm in heaven! The procedure itself was fast (less than 30 seconds per eye) and the staff was incredibly competent and nice. I think they could tell I was nervous (who wouldn't be?!) because they made sure I was very comfortable and explained the whole process over and over again. If you qualify for LASIK, this is the place in Anchorage to go get the procedure done.

They they not really interacted with me. They just said, open your eyes. Be still. I was informed by them five years ago they were the only ones in the state that does the surgery. So I had to do it with them. They charged me $1880 for their facility fee. On top of my copay. My insurance won't pay their facility fee. This fall I had secondary cataracts that had to be removed Again they told me the same thing and recharging me the same price I called around, talk to my insurance and found a minimum of 10 other doctors in this town that will do that surgery and charge my insurance without me having to pay a huge facility fee... I don't think it's fair, especially to the elderly who are living on Medicare. The people the front desk were very nice.

They were very fast communicating with me. They saw me right away and gave me an immediate referral.read more

I have been there twice for exams . I can't complain about the care I have received and my questions were answered appropriately . I didn't have to wait too long to be seen. On the down side they manually tested my eye pressure for macular deterioration . ( actually touched my eyeball ) I don't know of any other eye care office that doesn't have the more modern machine that shoots a spurt of air into your eye . I was also underwhelmed by the whole appearance of the office . I don't think they ever put a lot of effort into assuring that the waiting patients were comfortable or that the waiting area was ascetically pleasing . They haven't changed anything since they initially moved in . I was also concerned that several of the receptionists were coughing . I think they could invest some of their profit into all of these things . I

I've been a patient of Dr. Bancroft even since my old doctor retired about 10 years ago. I looked for, and found a single doctor office with personal, attentive service with Dr. Bancroft. My husband and I actually like Dr. Bancroft BETTER than our old doctor. He does some pretty cool, thorough tests our previous doc never did, and there's no additional charges. He's EXTREMELY THOROUGH and friendly. He's staff has their act together as well. He also has a second location in the valley, which is convenient for people around the region. I'm surprised more people don't know about Dr. Bancroft, he's a best kept secret when it comes to eye care!

I expected to simply look through the stock and then move on. Instead I found an extremely helpful employee ready to go the extra mile. After looking at some of the frames I liked but explaining how they were above my budget, Bev thought about it for a second, then spent 30-40 minutes creating a custom frame that was within my price range and exactly the style I was looking for. I could not be happier with my experience, the service I received, and the feel good sensibility of being able to support a local business instead of a big chain store! Heck, I'm so happy with my experience, I made a yelp account just to pass on the word.

Back then…read morethey were the chic place to go, now, all the original founding doctors are gone, replaced by money hungry grubbers. Gone are the carpeted floors and quiet, spacious exam rooms where the doctors took time to LISTEN to you took the time to answer questions and just plain worked with you. The assistants were all polite and all the assistant pre-doc exam rooms were dark, quiet and private. Now it's a Walmart conveyor belt shakedown business. A bunch of women who, being foreigners, tell you what to do, and when you attempt to explain something, they look at you with glazed eyes, giggle, and ignore you to get the pre-exam done as quickly as possible. The doctors' exam room are small, harsh cubicles with no warmth at all, the doctor who dealt with me machine-gunning questions getting the exam done in as short time as he could, his schedule marked out in 30-minute blocks. The sales associates want to rush you through to buy something, and when you think about making a decision they huff openly being impatient. The one assigned to me was openly rude. I got my prescription and left. Sadly, Alaska Eyecare Centers have fallen far indeed since Dr. Diane Thanephon and they others where there. Sad.
