Fyi Doctors

I found Dr. Stanley very professional. She put me through the most extensive set of eye tests that I can remember ever having been through. She told me that it was not be worth my while to get a new set of lenses as my vision .
However, I was not very impressed with the the other office staff. When I phoned to enquire as to whether they could direct bill AB Blue Cross for the the exam and glasses, they said «no problem». When the exam was over I decided to get an extra set of safety glasses, (total cost $ 459). The guy taking my order then tried to put the charge through to Blue Cross, but, BC would not accept the charge. I then was told that I would have to pay up front and submit the bill to BC myself.

Amazing service for my optometrist appointment and glasses selection. Everyone was polite and obviously cares.

I called in to make an appointment and asked if they do direct billing for Industrial Alliance they said yes over the phone but when I got there they couldn’t get it through. .
I really like the machine that takes the picture of the back of your eye, that was and interesting.
I was finally able to see Dr. Pederson and this would be my first visit. All I have to say was that he was amazing! He was very thorough with my eye exam and he gave me suggestions on what to use with my dry eyes plus he looked and found where on my eyes that had the dry patches. I’ve seen a lot of different optometrists in my life and he’s the best one so far. I feel bad saying that because I know that there are very good ones out there but they just have a different technique. After my eye exam he gave me a sample pair of contacts to try on for the week to see how I like them (I have a stigmatized right eye so I have to use a different kind of contact that needs to be ordered in but he had them in stock!).
I’m happy to finally find a optometrist that I will be going to see permanently.
I would have given 5 stars but the whole mix up with my benefits kind of annoyed me.

Nice optometry clinic and retail store. They have a fantastic selection of frames by lots of interesting designers in a large, nicely-​lit space. The optometry clinic is state-​of-​the-​art as well, some really cool technology for checking out the health of your eyes (which I still do periodically even though I’ve had laser eye surgery done). Nice waiting room in the front — two areas adjacent to the front desk with couches, magazines, water, a tv. You can collect Aeroplan points there now which is kind of cool. I found prices to be higher than other places though, for the complete eye exam, and also for frames/​lenses, but I really do love their selection.

Dr. Freeman Choi is an awesome doctor. I was a patient nearly 10 years ago.
I had been going to another doctor (who was closer to my home) and after being over prescribed and given some bad advice, I decided to track down Dr. Choi.
He is well versed in his field, informative, punctual and easy to talk with. He will take his time and makes sure that you do not leave with any questions. I really feel he cares about what is best for his patients. He does not pressure his clients in buying products from the shop and, best of all, FYI gives referral rewards for new patients.
I am so glad I found Dr. Choi after all this time, he is a cut above his peers!
