Trusted Optometrist in Chilliwack, BC
I founded this practice to provide personalized, patient-focused eye care without the pressure of retail sales. With extensive experience in primary care optometry, I specialize in comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, and red eye treatment. My approach prioritizes thoroughness and patient comfort, ensuring each visit addresses both vision correction and ocular health. I maintain competitive pricing for contact lenses and fittings while offering direct billing to major extended health plans.As a mother of two, I emphasize the importance of early childhood eye exams, providing no-cost assessments for children under 18 with a BC Care Card. My clinic's partnership with my husband's chiropractic practice allows shared resources while maintaining distinct professional boundaries. I focus on building long-term patient relationships through clear communication and evidence-based care, including annual diabetic eye exams and referrals to specialists when needed.
