Dr Augusta Plassman King

My dog gave me an eye full of her toenails last month. I could tell something was very wrong. My wife called Dr. King's office and two others after hours and left messages with each of them. She's the only one who returned my call. She was willing to come in and open her office for us. She examined my eye and discovered that the front of my eye was actually torn! She ended up putting some kind of membrane on my eye (stem cells?) and a contact lens to hold it in place while it healed. It immediately felt a lot better. I came back several days later and She took out the contact lens and I WAS HEALED. My vision had returned to normal. THANK YOU DOCTOR KING!

Dr. King is very calm and very soothing. She has this calm personality and is very professional and truly cares about you instead of rushing to the next patient to make as much money as possible like a lot of other optometrists Ive gone too have done. I didnt wait much and even went back to adjust prescription and she took care of me super quick! Im very appreciative of her and her office when I no called and thought the appointment was at another time and they quickly rescheduled me. Great team

I go to Dr. King because I saw she was the #1 eye doctor in Fairbanks two years in a row according to the News Miner Readers' Choice Awards. I've been to Doctor King a dozen times for routine and urgent eye care. She's great. Her office seems to have all of the latest technology. I rarely have to wait past my scheduled appointment time, and I'm in and out quickly. Dr. King once found a problem with my retina and referred me to a local eye surgeon who took care of it.

I was very pleased with Dr King herself. She was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. First time in 20 years of wearing contacts I actually had a doctor explain what they're looking for with the lens fitting. Bonus - the office has one of the awesome machines that takes pictures in your eye so you don't have to get your eyes dilated. Big advantage when I'm having to drive 2 hours back to home! Lost one star for front office management. I was on time to my appointment and saw no one for a good 10-15 min. I'm assuming they were helping another patient or something since the front desk also does the basic eye tests and in-processing but it would have been nice for someone to poke their head out and acknowledge they'd be with me in a minute.
