“Great experience over all. Compassionate and knowledgeable service. This will be my eye Dr from now on. I have been suffering for a long time with a couple of conditions. Dr. Jassal diagnosed me and treated me successfully on the first appointment.”

“I have always had a bit of a fear of going to the optometrist, but from the moment I walked into Harbour City Optometry, the entire team made me feel welcomed, safe, and completely at ease. I shared my anxiety with them, and they were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the whole appointment. I never once felt pressured or uncomfortable. Their professionalism, knowledge, and caring approach helped me build complete trust in visiting optometrist Gurinder Jassal again. They were also very informative and offered many helpful suggestions for my eye care. I highly recommend Harbour City Optometry to anyone, especially if you feel nervous about eye appointments.”

“I had an excellent experience with Dr. Jassal at Harbour City Optometry. He is kind, provides all the information I requested in detail and took the time to answer all my questions. I would also like to say his assistants, Naomi (who very pleasantly took all my info) and Ellie (who did my initial eye testing), were very nice and also very efficient. Overall, it was an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Dr. Jassel and his team.”

“My experience and the employees at HCO were beyond exemplary, I had gotten some metal in my eye and Naomi and Dr. Panesar got me in with an hours notice and I only had to wait a half hour on a busy Saturday. I highly recommend HCO!”
