Everything from the front door to the exam and visit with Dr. Kruthoff was great. Warm, accommodating and knew what they were doing—-Ben, Adrianna and Dr. K. I am always curious about what they are doing and ask a lot of questions. They all seem to enjoy hearing them and giving me the answers. Thanks. Delight Delivered. Mick Lee

Dr Kruthoff is marvelous. My exams with him are quite, quite thorough. He is terrific at explaining to me what my exam results mean on that day, how I got to this point, and what may be facing me in the future. He's the best I've had at explaining what will happen each time I need treatment, what the potential risks are, as well as the range of things I may need help with in the future. Northwest Eye has always had stellar talent. Dr Kruthoff is one of the best.

I was worried about something that turned out to be nothing. Dr. Kruthoff didn't just tell me my eyes were all good, he went on to take time to explain why I didn't need to be concerned. Once he explained my situation I was reassured and no longer worried. Thank you Dr. Kruthoff.

My appointment with Dr. Kruthoff was brief but very informative. My concerns with post-op cataract symptoms were explained in understandable terms. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I was asked if I had any unanswered questions or concerns before ending our consultation.
