Deep Thanks

I had been wishing I could do something about my vision because I hated having to wear my trifocal glasses and could tell that my eyes were getting worse. My eyesight was so poor that, without my glasses, I could not tell whether or not my grandchildren were smiling at Grandma, even when I was holding them in my arms. I knew I had to do something. I had heard the radio commercial for Drs. Fine, Hoffman & Packer, so I called and made an appointment. I got to see Dr. Packer who he told me he could help me so that I would no longer be dependent on glasses. Of course, at that time, he didn't know that I would be one of his difficult patients, but he never gave up on me. It took over a year, and multiple surgeries, but he did it. I'm so thankful for him and his staff. They were always so positive, and I appreciate all of them so much. I do recommend Drs. Fine, Hoffman & Packer to my family, friends and anyone who needs an eye doctor. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Marjorie Wilkinson is a patient with some very special accomplishments to share. She was one of the first female Alaskan bush pilots and hunting guides. She received her first pilot’s license in 1948 and went on to get her commercial license one year later. She was in the air 364 days a year, piloting planes outfitted with skis in the winter and floats in the summer. She would fly parties of ten in and out of the Alaskan bush for fall moose hunts followed by caribou, sheep, and bear the last hunt of the season. Marjorie was in high demand “because she could fly and cook, and if there was a woman in the party, it made her feel more comfortable.”

Margie is quite a markswoman, too. She claims her “new eyes” allow her to “hit dead center now!” Out of necessity, she learned a lot about guns in her days in the bush and brought us the target in which she recently shot four bullseyes in a row at 100 yards with her 357 Magnum. Margie also shares a great love of motorcycles with Dr. Fine and brought in this picture of her on her Harley.
