I had a little bit of a medical emergency and need to see my eye doctor ASAP! I called her to find out she was on medical leave. I was frantically trying to find somewhere to go because I had been going to the same eye doctor for 15 years!
Luckily i remembered Heritage Eye Care. It is conveniently located at the corner of Markham Road & 16th Avenue. With all the traffic going on at that intersection, you can't miss it while you're waiting for the light to change. Even better for me, it was a very short 7-8 minute drive from my house. I called to see if i could get an appointment the next day. Thankfully, they were able to get me in within the hour.
A few things that really stood out for me about Heritage Eye Care:
They are open evening & weekends (10-3 on Saturday's!), conveniently located near transit, kid friendly and up to date equipment that my former eye doctor wasn't even using yet because she was so old school.
The Optometrist I saw (Dr. Trinh) was very professional, informative and gave me some very helpful and crucial information for eye care. I ended up having to go to a hospital to see an Opthalmologist. He didn't just suggest MSH, but he referred me to one where i could get in immediately to have my eye concerns addressed immediately. For that i am so thankful (I called to thank them!).
I no longer go to my Optometrist in North York and will be switching my hubby & kids over to Heritage Eye Care.
