From making the initial appointment, the initial testing, clear outline of what the process was and what to expect, any concerns were alleviated. In fact, Dr. Chew advised against getting the more expensive lens as it was not suitable for me. When I arrived for the surgery, the process was simple and very efficient and the actual process seemed like it was only 15 minutes. Had my right eye done, which was so blurry, I could barely see. Absolutely amazed at the result. Had the left eye done one month later, again, perfect and I was already working on the same day on my computer. Highly recommended.

I give much respect to Dr. Wade for being top notch in his profession. Ophthalmology…read more I am extremely paranoid when it comes to my Five Senses especially my eyes. A few years ago I was referred by my Optometrist to see Dr. Wade for cataract surgery for my left eye. Through careful and precise pre-op check up, Dr. Wade found in my right eye that I had crystals (talk about really sparkly eyes haha) and a portion of my retina had detached. I was rushed in surgery for the retina by a colleague of Dr. Wade's (Dr. Ma). I had back to back surgery, one for each eye. That was two months of sporting what looking like a really bad sucker punch to the face! I went back to see Dr. Wade today for another follow up (two years since the operations). Again, he was professional and informative. There is something about his personality that will put you at ease. Be ready to wait a LONG time to get an appointment with Dr. Wade though. Yes he is THAT good!! his wait list can be a year long!!!

I received exceptional care from 2 employees today. Because my morning had been stressful, I arrived at the office having forgotten to remove my contact lenses. The receptionist kindly helped me resolve this problem and also provided me with a face mask. But what happened following my consultation with the doctor was truly amazing. Because my eyes were dilated and my vision seriously impaired, I could not use my phone to call an Uber and I really needed a ride because it was snowing. An assistant named Alberto leapt to my assistance, offering to book a pick-up on my behalf. When he accessed the app on my phone, we discovered my credit card information needed updating. He helped me through this process in private and then input my request for a ride. When the driver was on the way, which took only a couple of minutes, he offered to accompany me down on the elevator and out onto the street so that he could ensure the car arrived and I actually got into it. We stood on the street corner in the snow (him shivering without a jacket), his fingers flying on the screen to indicate to the driver our exact location. Bingo, the car arrived within seconds and he helped me into the rear seat. I couldn't escape the feeling that I must have come across as a seriously foolish and inept old woman. But I don't believe Alberto thought that at all. He is simply a very kind man, dedicated to doing his best for all the patients, and happy to go out of his way to help a senior overcome some obstacles. This experience restored my faith in the milk of human kindness.

Firstly, the receptionist couldn't answer the most basic questions like how long the wait would be in the waiting room, just got an arrogant response. Once I saw Dr. Sullivan, she was so rude and with such bad attitude it was almost laughable. I asked her a few different questions regarding my eyes and she responded by attacking me on how can I question her. She just wanted to give me a quick sypnosis as to the condition of my eyes were red and I could not ask her any questions.

Dr. Sullivan has always made my Dad feel great about his eyes. She tells him he has the eyes of a 25 year old (which is true!!) and he just beams with pride. My mom has had a few eye emergencies over the years and Dr. Sullivan is always able to see her quickly and reassure her recommend treatment every time. My Aunt, who is also a patient of Dr. Sullivan's, travels all the way from Vancouver Island just to see her. The staff in the office are always kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Sullivan and am thankful that she has been their eye doctor for the past 20 years.
