DR. SARAH HUTCHENS, OD - THE VISION DEVELOPMENT CENTRE REVIEWS
Dr. Hutchens is fantastic! She has been monitoring my daughters vision for over a year now. I went to Dr. Hutchens as a second opinion for my daughters vision needs and due to her knowledge, kindness and determination to provide my daughter with the best vision care, I have decided she will be the Doctor to monitor my daughters vision going forward. She is extremely thorough. I felt completely at ease with Dr. Hutchens and thankful she will be caring for both of my children's vision needs now and in the future.
Both of my kids started seeing Dr. Hutchens at 8 months old. She has an incredible way of connecting with children, and has fun and creative ways of keeping their attention throughout the check up. She is thorough, knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions (especially from new parents who worry about everything!). Not to mention her clinic is bright, clean and modern and the staff are excellent! Highly recommend!
Dr. Sarah Hutchens and Team are very professional! Amazing service and highly recommend The Vision Development Centre for your eye examinations.

DR. IAN J. HENDERSON, OD - HENDERSON OPTOMETRY REVIEWS
I recently visited Ian Henderson Optometry for an eye exam, and I cannot speak highly enough of the excellent service I received. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made me feel comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked through the door. They took the time to explain each step of the process and answer any questions I had. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and personalized care they provided. The selection of frames and lenses was also impressive. They had a wide range of styles to choose from, and the staff were happy to help me find a pair that suited my face and personal style. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an eye exam or new glasses. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and the level of care and attention to detail was outstanding. I will definitely be returning for all of my future eye care needs.
Incredible service. Stopped in this morning to get my broken glasses fixed. Technician asked me to leave them and she would see what she could do. Got a call less than 10 minutes later saying it was done. Did not charge me a cent as it was a quick job.. Fantastic operation.
Great location, friendly staff and Dr. Henderson is very professional and passionate about keratoconus patients. His work ethic is unmatched.

DR. JUSTIN BOULAY, OD - DR. BOULAY OPTOMETRISTS REVIEWS
Dr. Justin Boulay was fantastic, great experience overall in the clinic, and learned more about my eyes than I have in years!! He even managed to fit me in for an emergency visit while I was home for just a few days!!
Was treated by Dr. Justin Boulay who was patient, informative and explained everything very well. Good selection of frames and prices seem reasonable.
Dr. Boulay is attentive, thorough, and very friendly. Exam did not feel rushed at all, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. The detailed imaging also revealed a few concerns about my eyes that had not been detected before, which we took steps to resolve. We discussed lens types for my particular needs/wants and ended up trying two different brands to find the best option. Previously, I also had a great experience with contact lens fitting, trying several different types until we found the perfect one for me. Thanks to Dr. Boulay and his staff.
