My parents and I have been going to Dr. Clement Chan for a few years now. We have been very pleased with his service, as he always took the time to examine our eyes so that the new prescription will be accurate and comfortable (as opposed to our previous experiences with other optometrists that rushed through the examination).
He not only cared about getting our prescriptions, but he also spent time in examining our eye health and explaining why regular check-ups are important. I never knew that one can see directly into a person's blood vessels through the eyes! Dr. Chan explained that he often perform this examination because it can give early clues to diseases like diabetes. So, eye examination is not just about the eyes. In addition, he explained in-detail any eye-related questions such as screen time, contacts, UV lens, polarized lens, etc.
In addition to working with adults, I think Dr. Chan will be superb with kids. He has always been gentle and kind, while keeping a light humour that would make the most tedious examination fun. Needless to say, his patience would likely work well with the elderlies too, as he does not rush through anything.
So far, I've only read reviews online on all kinds of services but never write any of my own. The reason why I am writing this review is that I found out Dr. Chan has left this office to open his own practice in Coquitlam. I am truly saddened to find out about this, as it will be too far from my home to visit. However, I still wish Dr. Chan success in his new journey, and that many more patients will benefit from his professionalism and knowledge. I found out that the website to his new practice is http://www.fremonteyecentre.com/our-doctor/. Residents of Port Coquitlam and its vicinity, I am envious of your close location to Dr. Chan! read more
