"I was most impressed with the professionalism of all the staff from start to finish. I actually had somewhat of an eye emergency. Dr. Lentfer was able to see me the very next morning. All the staff worked to accommodate my request and Dr. Lentfer acted quickly with my eye wound. They followed up the same afternoon to insure my eye was comfortable after treatment. It as a great experience. The office is very modern, professional and I recommend all ages of patients to see Dr. Lentfer and her staff. You will be so pleased with your eye experience. Thank you Dr. Lentfer and staff for all of your immediate attention. Diane B."

"I have only been going to Katmai Eye And Vision Center for the last couple years. Despite them not offering the convenience of billing your insurance I will continue going there. EVERYONE there is kind, professional, and helpful. You are treated as an individual and not a number. Oh and they are patient too ( I tend to ask too many questions ). I recommend them to everyone, even people who don't need glasses!"

"Dr. Krompkoff is treating me for rosacea and dry eyes. So far we have done the lipiflow and two IPL treatments with one more IPL to go. The struggle is real when it comes to dry eyes, but after my second IPL treatment I was able to wear my contact lenses again with little to no discomfort ~ happy dance!! My primary eye doctor is in Wasilla and referred me to Katmai specifically for lipiflow/IPL therapy and I can't thank Dr. Krompkoff enough for the excellent care, you're the best!"

"Went for the first time 3 days ago, after not going to an eye doc for a decade. Katmai and the staff are absolutely first class. The facility is amazing, the choices for glasses is mind blowing, and the quality of care is the very best I’ve ever received from an eye doctor. They didn’t rush to get me out of there, explained everything they were doing, and had the latest technology in machines. Dr. Sherri was very thorough and cared about my eyesight and health as it pertains to my vision. Truly a first class business, and made me feel very welcome. Thanks, I’ll always be back!"
"Welcoming staff, both at arrival & departure. Assistant for pre visit was kind to talk through the procedures being done & explaining what they were looking for to access the reason for my visit. Dr. Sherry Lentfer was very knowledgeable, courteous & explained what she was capable of doing for my situation & beyond. There were options to choose from for how extensive a procedure each individual may consider. It was a wonderful experience & I am looking forward to my treatment(s). So happy to have Katmai Eye & Vision Center available in Anchorage! Thank You!"

"I have strabismus and amblyopia. I had thought that it was impossible to see better out of that eye. They have given me hope and I am going through therapy for it. It's not only been good for my sight, but my self esteem. She put very careful attention into my prescription and I really need that from a prescriber. While they do not take insurance, they give you the bill you need to get reimbursed."
"Professional, exceedingly qualified medical care! Highly recommended for vision therapy."
"Wonderful experience with Dr Lentfer. I have never a more thorough exam as she takes the time to get it right.

We feel fortunate to have found her."

I developed double vision after a traumatic head injury and was told by another ophthalmologist to just wait for swelling to reduce. I knew there was more I could do so I scheduled with Dr. Kompkoff and they were able to get me in right away.

"Dr Laura and the entire staff are simply amazing and extremely professional. In June, Dr Laura recommended vision therapy which I decided to start immediately. She worked with Liz to develop a plan for my therapy sessions. After 9 weeks I have seen such a difference. Liz is fantastic and creates a plan for sessions as well as homework to work on between the sessions. Dr. Laura then reexamined me to check progress. Katmai is extremely thorough with all that they do. I highly recommend Katmai Eye Vision Center for all your vision care!"

An eye exam is no longer an uncomfortable procedure because of this. I might add, they probably have the greatest collection of frames I have seen, way too tempting."
