Calgary Optometry Center

The voice on my voicemail was confirming my eye appointment the following day.
«Eye appointment? What eye appointment???» I thought…
But as it turns out, I had booked my follow up appointment TWO YEARS EARLIER, and promptly forgot all about it. But the Calgary Optometry Center certainly did NOT lose track.
Once it was established that I had indeed committed to something 2 years past, it was apparent the appointment time wasn’t going to work. The location in question was the Avenida area, and I now work downtown. Mid afternoon is too inconvenient.
«No problem,» they said. «We have a location downtown as well, and your doctor works out of both. We can send your information there… «
Done deal.
So… I went for my check up, and a couple of things did stand out:
– The location is pretty convenient for downtown workers, as it’s right off the LRT, next door to Moxies.
– I didn’t have to wait at all — I walked in, and was immediately taken back to start the exam process.
– The exam room and area behind reception is surprisingly spacious, especially given it’s downtown real estate. I appreciated not being crammed into a little room like when I visit my family doctor.
– Dr. Shen has a great «soothing» quality about her, making the visit painless. And thanks for not up-​selling me additional reading glasses for work!
No complaints at all.
