This is the best place! What a top notch bunch of people, from the front desk all the way to Dr Frankenstein! If you value your eyes, go to Lodestar!
My son has gone through so many expensive ray ban frames that have scratched within the first week. We switched to lodestar and found these AMAZING glasses.Hes had these about 2 months or so and even sleeps in them(NOT ONE SCRATCH!!)When he first put them on he said, they were awesome!!.No more rubbing on the ears & blisters on his nose.Thank you to Lodestar for helping me find the best glasses for our busy boy & saving us money in the long run.Ask for their flexible frames, they come in a few different shapes for boys & girls
I had my appointment with my 13 month old and it went really well. Everyone was patient and helpful with both of us and Dr Frank had a lot of tricks to be able to look at her eyes and keep her entertained. He was super knowledgeable and told me quite a few things about eye health I’d never heard and I’ve been seeing an eye doctor for 15 years. I really liked their selection of glasses, it wasn’t just a bunch of the same glass type by different brands they had a lot of selection and Emily was so helpful and really kind (I hate glasses shopping). Definitely recommend and eaglets awaiting my new glasses and contacts :)
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr Frank and his staff, they are amazing. The customer service was great!!! Highly recommend them ❤️❤️
The so called eye doctor, Kara will verbally abuse you if you disagree with her husbands inability to diagnose an eye issue . This eye doctor duo, will tell you you have dry eyes when you are in there for ill fitting contact lenses. They will not make good on the contact service agreement instead bill your medical insurance over $ 300 for a bogus dry eye. Look up how eye doctors can pad their bottom line by billing medical insurance for dry eyes that is made up. They tell a myopic person that they cant see out of one of their eyes because their computers tell us you can see so it is your brain that cant see. Dr Kara yells at patients, and drops the f-bomb frequently. Do not set foot at this place unless you want them to max out your eye insurance and still be unable to see. Multiple Aetna complaints have been launched against Lodestar. Be aware!Look at their response, No ownership of terrible service. Arrogance and denial, basically they focus on profits and no thought to actual patient care.
Wonderful products and customer service. However, we received $150+ bills twice after purchasing even after being told thats all we had to pay.
I can’t say enough good things about the staff and the care I’ve received here. From regular eye exams to problems I’ve been having with my eyes, they have always been able to get me in and seen within a day or two. I would recommend them for any type of eye care you need.
This office goes above and beyond to meet your needs. From the front desk, exam with your provider to picking your glasses. You’re never rushed or pressured in any way. It’s a very relaxed and easy going experience. Myself and my mom followed Dr. Frank from another clinic that was closer to home. He is definitely worth the drive. I cannot recommend Lodestar enough!
During COVID time, the Lodestar staff was practicing safety precautions and everyone was wearing protective masks. Dr. Jacob was kind and compassionate; he led me through a state of art eye exam. He took the time to explain the health of my eyes at present and preventative practices for future eye health. It was much appreciated. The staff was wonderful (with the difficulty of mask wearing) as I navigated through paperwork, financial clarification, preliminary eye testing, and selection of my new glasses! Thanks Everyone!
Such a wonderful place for a complete eye care experience. Ive been going here for about a year and absolutely think they are incredible! I love Dr. Frank, Emily, and Laura they are amazing! They also help you pick out cute glasses that fits you!! I highly recommend this place. They work with you the best that they can! I always have a smile when I come here!
I’m not much for doc’s of any kind, even though I’ve grown up in the medical field. Both of these doc’s and their team of people, make U feel comfortable. They do a awesome job of getting U through the testing and explaining things in a way where they don’t make U feel like U are a idiot. Always a welcoming smile and greeting from 1 and all here at Lodestar. I don’t go anywhere else for exams or help with my vision and don’t plan to as long as they are in business.
Felt right at home with the awesome staff, they took the best care of me! I’m just waiting on my new pair of glasses! Thank you Lodestar, I hope to be a patient for awhile and hope to share your business with people who are searching for a new eye doctor!!
Drs. Frank and Reynolds are both excellent providers. Their office environment is very welcoming/comfortable and all staff are friendly and professional. They also carry a great selection of frames.
I truly enjoyed the entire staff and Dr Kara Reynolds. The experience was pleasant and very comfortable. The office is well designed and spacious. There is a large selection of eye glass frames to choose from. Simple to sleek, you will find the frames you want! The most impressive part of my visit was the state of the art equipment and how Dr Reynolds explained why she was using it and what each piece did. I recommend Lodestar Family Eye Care to all my friends and family. Yes, the service was simply that good!
Great overall experience. Have never had the need for glasses until now, so was very unfamiliar with the process. Glad I went to Lodestar, very friendly and helpful staff, nice facility, all around great experience
What a wonderful place, until they bill you for services that any other eye care provider gives you as a standard part of an office visit. You come in to get your annual eye exam get contacts...But then you come in to make sure that the contacts fit. That’s pretty standard stuff in any of the 20 states I’ve lived in during my life and I doctors I’ve gone to. But here, that is somehow considered a medical visit and they charge you $180. Congratulations I look forward to telling everybody never to go here 👍🏻
Everyone I saw at Lodestar was exceptionally friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. From the lady at the front desk, to the tech who was super nice yet expedient, to Dr. Frank who really took the time to discuss my exam with me, to the lady who adjusted my glasses.. they were all terrific. I work in healthcare and am not always impressed being on the other side. Lodestar does a great job at explaining the procedures and results in a very caring and compassionate manner. Its wonderful to have such a professional and beautiful eye care place right in Palmer. Thanks, Lodestar!
I always love my experience at Lodestar. So friendly and helpful. They always have your best interest in mind! I tell everyone proudly that I have the best eye doctors. And I love my reminder texts😉 If I didn’t get them, I’d forget!
Beautiful office, great staff, great equipment, Top of the Line place! My daughters and I have all just gotten our appointments here and are very happy with the service. I highly recommend this office for all your family eye care needs. Personable, reasonable prices and hot styles of glasses, nice location as well. You wont be disappointed!
I highly recommend Lodestar! Dr Reynolds is very professional and knowledgeable, and takes time to talk to her patients. The entire staff is friendly helpful, and the frame selection is amazing. I actually look forward to my annual eye exam!
The client service that you receive at Lodestar is the very best! I have been to Dr. Reynolds several times in the last year and she is extremely friendly, professional, consistent and overall amazing. I am an information person and I ask a lot of questions, which she always has intelligent, sensible answers to! I love Lodestar and would/will recommend them to all my friends and family.
The people here at this office are truly amazing. After going to Wolf eye, and them treating my daughter horrible after me telling them that she has exteam anxiety, we came here and have never been happier. They take their time with my daughter, and are very understanding about her fears. I definitely recommend Lodestar. We have been coming here now for a couple of years, and have had nothing but great experiences. Thank you to the team at Lodestar!
I had a great first time experience with them and you can tell they enjoy what they do! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated how accommodating they were and I will be reccomending them. Thanks guys!
Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You cant go wrong coming here for your eye care needs.
Good service, friendly staff, hygienic rooms and protocols. They really go above and beyond to make sure you are happy.
I’ve been going to Lodestar since they opened and also had the pleasure of having Dr. Reynolds as my follow up Dr from my cateract surgery. Very competent And thorough. Highly recommend her and her staff!
I heard good things about Lonestar, so I stopped by on my lunch to browse the glasses selection and got excellent service from Emily, she asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and returned with 5 frames. I am very picky when it comes to frames, and I found a pair I absolutely loved and was in and out in 20 minutes! Thanks!
Lodestar is what every medical office should emulate. The kind, attentive care by every staff member is amazing and caters to the entire family.
I went to Dr. Kara Reynolds for an eye exam and to inquire about dry eyes. She patiently explained my condition and answered all of my questions. Dr. Reynolds and her staff are simply sensational. I wish that I could duplicate their energy, customer service and kindness for all of the offices/practices that I deal with. I would highly recommend them to anyone. If you are looking for an Eye care provider in the state of Alaska, Lodestar Family Eye Care, PC is the place to be.
Great place to have your eyes checked! Beautiful building and interior. The staff were all beyond friendly. Thank you!
Doctor Reynolds & her staff were friendly& fantastic with my kids.
Mr. Frank is excellent. Keeps precise records and pays attention to detail.
300 $ for a BASIC EXAM.and I was told a LOT of vagueness about tests that can be all about my eyes AND my body ...so it is told like there is something extra and different ...RIP OFF ALERT, but they stay VERY VAGUE. SCAM ALERT.
One of the most impressive Eye Doctors I have ever experienced. Would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for the care.
I really enjoyed the service I received. They make you feel like family.
