Terrific Staff. Outstanding eye care. Dr. Volland is thorough, efficient, but does not make feel rushed! He explains my tests thoroughly and ensures my questions are answered in a way I understand. He is thoughtful as is his team.
I had such a wonderful experience at Ursa Optical! From Tia at the front desk to the eye doctor, everyone was warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. The eye exam was thorough, the process was fast and smooth, and I felt well cared for from beginning to end. I highly recommend Ursa Optical for their excellent service and welcoming team!
Dr Volland's service is outstanding. He's honest and patient in explaining how the eyes work. His team is also the best.. they engage as a group for 'fun out front! When someone helps you pick out glasses for the fit of the face and comfort... its a win-win‼️🏆
If you don’t have time to read this whole review, just remember this: go to Ursa over any other eyeglass store. They genuinely care, they go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy, and if you’re a dog lover, you’ll adore their sweet shop pup, Juniper. You won’t regret visiting! Now for the backstory: This morning, my glasses broke in half on one side. With my horrendous eyesight, I literally cannot function without glasses. I’m visiting from out of state and, of course, I forgot to pack my backup pair. Total nightmare. I almost went to LensCrafters since I know they do repairs, but I decided last-minute to support local and try Ursa because of their great reviews. BEST. DECISION. EVER. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by Juniper, their adorable four-legged mascot, and instantly felt at ease. Nancy, Julie, and Jamie were all incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They somehow managed to find a pair of donated designer frames that perfectly fit my existing lenses. Julie even said it’s almost unheard of for that to happen—but lucky me, it did! The new frames were gorgeous (and easily three times more expensive than the online pair I had before), and I walked out not just with “fixed” glasses but with a major upgrade. The customer service was absolutely phenomenal, Juniper stole my heart, and the cherry on top was leaving with a beautiful pair of frames that I never would’ve expected to get that day—especially for free. I’ve been wearing glasses for over 20 years and have been to countless optical shops, but Ursa blows them all out of the water. They turned what could have been a catastrophic situation into a positive, even memorable experience. My biggest lesson: never travel without a backup pair—but if you do and you’re anywhere near Ursa, you’ll be in the best hands possible. Thank you, Ursa, Nancy, Julie, Jamie, and of course, Juniper!
Hands down the best place in Anchorage for all of you glasses needs. The new patient process was very easy and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Their frames selection has a great variety of sizes, shapes and styles. They said my new glasses would be a little delayed due to the holiday season and I still get them faster than I ever have in the past. As an added bonus, the office dog is adorable.
