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.

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.

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 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 .

VA beneficiaries beware. I had a referral, but I was turned away from care at the decision of a…read morebilling specialist for not agreeing to sign their inappropriate financial agreement. I am concerned that she is preying on other veterans. The form I was asked to sign for care under a VA Community Care Network referral stated that medical insurance coverage is between me and my insurance company, that they are not "party" to that contract, that I would be responsible for balance if denied by my insurance, and that I would be responsible for the timely payment of my account. This may apply for certain health 'insurance' plans, but I can assure you this is not appropriate for veterans being referred in the community care network under the VA medical benefit. Ophthalmic Associates, TriWest is the company that manages the VA community care network here in Alaska, and there is no way that they would have been able to assign my referral to Ophthalmic Associates if there was no contract between you two. If your staff member who claimed to have 20+ years of billing and coding experience thinks that turning someone away from medical care for refusing to sign her illegal form is appropriate, then your medical providers should evaluate who they have on their payroll and the ethics which your group is operating under. If she is still employed there, I am grateful that your practice was not involved in my medical care. I desire integrity in my medical providers. Nothing on the TriWest website indicates that you have any right to bill a veteran in any way, shape, or form when they are receiving care under a community care referral/authorization. https://www.triwest.com/en/provider-handbook/billing-and-claims/#:~:text=Payments%20made%20by%20TriWest%20or,a%20Veteran's%20episode%20of%20care

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.

I'm torn about Valley Eye Associates. I had made an appointment right about the time the hunker…read moredown order was starting to lift, as I had been extending my one a day contacts well past the "one day" mark due to all the craziness going on. They were the only place that could get me in as soon as possible, and that was 3 weeks out. I was a new self pay patient since I have become a stay at home mom and no longer have insurance through my previous employer. I have had contacts/glasses since grade school and am very familiar with costs of contacts and office visits but even so I called around and asked about self pay costs and although this place quoted me the highest, they were the only ones that could get me in the "quickest." I thought there would be no way that my visit would be more than $300 just based off of my prior experiences at other eye care facilities. Boy was I wrong. The cost of the visit, although it was very thorough, was $450! Outrageous. This did not include anything other than the exam itself. I had to pay an additional $100 to fill my contact prescription and I thought I would check out some lenses as I'm due for a new pair of glasses they quoted me $450! I'll stick to getting my exam at another facility next time as I learned my lesson the hard way. If you have insurance, great! If you don't, you might want to take your business elsewhere because the average price at most offices for an exam is $250. Lesson learned.
