Reviews of Alaska Children's EYE & Strabismus (Ophthalmologist)

Mindy Treybal

Dr. Arnold and staff were very professional and kind. Dr. Arnold was great with our daughter, told us exactly what to expect, and our daughter had great results from the surgery he performed. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Winkle has been such a blessing to our family. My son had been to so many doctors for an eye condition that no one seemed to know what was wrong. We were feeling so hopeless until we found Dr.Winkle. He knew exactly the diagnosis when he saw my son and immediately treated with the correct medications that no other doctor could figure out. He took special care and kept my son's eyes from more permanent damage that would have made him totally blurred the rest of his life. Dr. Winkle gave my son a better future and we are so thankful everyday we found such a great Doctor.

AMAZING!! First I called to make an appointment for my son. I printed the new patient forms and faxed them back. I received a reminder call the day before the appointment. Wonderful so far so good. Then I got there. I was greeted right away even though the receptionist was with another patient. Instead of me waiting another lady came from the back within a minute and proceeded to check us in. We waited in the lobby (that had children's toys) for maybe 15 minutes. When we were called back the Dr.'s nurse was extremely polite and knowledgeable, there were toys to keep my son entertained. The methods she used to check his eyes were GREAT!! When Dr. Robin Grendahl came in she was patient and really LISTENED to what I had to say. She knew what questions to ask so that she understood exactly what his problem was and sheexplained everything in detail so I understood what was going on. The eye exam she gave was very thorough. My son had to have his eyes dilated. We waited in the lobby for 30 minutes to let the drops settle. They were on time in calling us back after the 30 minutes. Dr. Grendahl examined him again and explained he would need glasses which she wrote a prescription for that I was able to get filled down stairs and she even gave me suggestions for my fiance after reviewing our medical history. OVERALL this was a GREAT experience and I would recommend ACES to EVERYONE

Alaska Children's EYE & Strabismus exemplifies many of the problems that vex our health care system in the United States. 1. Deceptive/Incoherent billing: They don't work with certain insurance companies but will fail to disclose this before scheduling an appointment or performing service. 2. Exorbitant pricing: A cursory survey of pricing around Anchorage reveals that there are wildly differing prices for the same services. This office is one of the most expensive but they don't do anything different than anyone else. Rather, they have certain types of professionals there who may or may not be involved with your service but the very fact that they work there inflates prices. 3. Charges without consent: This office placed a $97.00 charge on my bill and claimed it was part of a different service. No consent was given to any other services. It's time the public held medical professionals to account for their shady business practices. There are plenty of other places in Anchorage to visit. Do not give them your business.

My 8 year old daughter recently had eye surgery with Dr. Winkle to correct double vision (crossed eyes) that she was having issues with. After a few visits, they determined that surgery was the only option to correct her vision. We are so THANKFUL she had the surgery done. It was quick and she bounced back to normal the next day! She is happier, more confident and like a new kid after her surgery! Everyone at the surgery center was amazing as well. Dr. Winkle made her comfortable at each visit and was very thorough! We were seen quickly and all of our questions answered in the office and over the phone. So happy to have been referred to this office!

Dr. Winkle is the best. The kids love him. He knows his stuff and has been very helpful working with our kids and their rare eye disorders. The entire office is great, but Winkle is #1

My impression of Dr. Winkle was that he was very brusque, impatient, and rushed. He seemed to want to get out of the exam room as quickly as possible. That isn't really the mentality I want for someone treating my child. If at all possible, we will not be seeing him again. I wish specialist choices in Alaska were not so limited. Maybe we will try to see one of his partners and hope for better.
