“I was in on Thursday for an appointment. First, I booked in July, then had to rebook a week later, there was no issue. Second, when you go into this place, look at the equipment, it’s all brand new. It’s top of the line equipment. A the end of my appointment I asked for an additional test to be done as I had had a previous issue, when I asked the tech said “The Dr. Just asked me to run that test.” That machine was brand new and gives a really good image of the eye. I was talking with a friend who had just gone to a different eye clinic in the Kootenays, and the cost was just about 60% more. I’ve been to that other clinic and the equipment is old and that equipment is either Harvest holding colour or faded that bad. My first experience at this place, Dr Henker looked into my eyes and said “ you are under a lot of stress”. And 100% I was at that time. For me that has always stuck with me, that this person I had never met, could look into my eyes and tell me that I was under stress. The diagnosis was spot on. In a summary, the service is top shelf. The knowledge and experience is upper level and the equipment is brand new and top quality. You will not be disappointed.”
