I would absolutely under no circumstances consider bringing your children to this provider. The doctors do not give a crap about your children and only about your wallet. Proven time and time again. I promise your kid would be better off seeing a high school science student . Doc couldn't figure out how to look in my six year olds ear . Tried 3 times and then just said " I just not sure I can't see anything " and moved on . Even though I told the doc she was prone to ear infections. 2 days later we were back in the office with a severe ear infection. And if the docs are bad , let's not get started on the front office staff. Seriously drive to a doc in Homer before your bring your kids here.

We used latouche for years before we moved from Alaska and loved them, but in Anchorage. We recently moved back and decided to try them out. We figured Eagle River would be as good as Anchorage. First and foremost , the nurse we dealt with was so pushy with vaccinations and got really anxious with me. When I told her I wanted to wait, but she kept pushing them. We aren't antivaxors, I literally could not remember which shots my daughter had gotten and she had just gotten some of the year before. I needed to move for records over. So I kept telling the nurse we need to wait. She wouldn't leave me alone until I finally explained why. It was really unprofessional and I did not appreciate her questioning me and doubting me three times as I told her I needed to wait. What really set me off is

It started off well enough, but after 18 months with this “group,” it’s been the worst experience I’ve ever been subject to. We have two children with 1 monthly prescription each. Every single month we call in their prescription and every single month they say they will call us back to let us know this prescription have been sent to the pharmacy. We have never received a single notification from them and we have checked multiple times to ensure our info is correct. Half the time we go to pick them up, only one has been sent in so we have to call the office again and have them send it, again. This wouldn’t be that much of a hassle if it wasn’t for the long wait times they have on many occasions. The prescription this is certainly aggravating, but our last visit about a month ago has u

POTENTIAL PATIENTS BEWARE! This LaTouche location is running a scam. They are very pushy about screenings and unnecessary appointments. They will gain your confidence and tell you, "your insurance covers this!" but it is a lie. They lied to us twice about co pay amounts. We now we have to file an appeal with our insurance company. Mary Blankish is extremely rude, arrogant and awkward with children. She has managed to make both of our daughters feel uncomfortable(ages 12 and 4). She shames parents, pressures kids and has a "my way or the highway" type of approach, which isn't fitting for a pediatric doctor in my opinion. The front desk always seems lost on what is happening. The nurses and the Dr. named Nicole were always pleasant though.

10/10, I called on a Sunday expecting to leave a message asking for a walk in appt on Monday for my daughter. Surprisingly I talked to a human being and got an appointment the next day for my daughter to be seen. Thank you La Touché for having such great customer service!
