Dr. Maryam Askarpoor's academic journey commenced with a Bachelor of Science degree, which she completed at UBC in 2017. Her pursuit of excellence led her to the University of Waterloo in Ontario, where she obtained her Doctor of Optometry title with distinction in 2021. Dr. Askarpoor's training encompassed diverse clinical experiences, including primary care rotations in Calgary, AB, and ocular disease rotations in Smithers, BC. These rotations honed her expertise in managing conditions such as dry eye and glaucoma, and she also developed proficiency in handling emergency cases like foreign body removal. Her professional interests extend to ocular disease, specialty contact lenses, and myopia control. Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Askarpoor possesses a deep-seated commitment to expanding access to eye care.

A testament to her dedication, in 2019, she led a team of Optometrists and students on a mission to the Philippines, where they offered free eye care to over 1,000 patients, embodying her genuine passion for making eye care accessible to those in need.

DR. MARYAM ASKARPOOR, OD - INTEGRA EYECARE CENTRE REVIEWS
Dr. Askarpoor is simply amazing with kids! She did all 3 of mine in the room together. The kids had fun and a thorough exam. After 3 eye doctors not giving a proper explanation for why my 9 year old is light sensitive, she finally did.
Dr. Askarpoor was professional and caring. She took the time to explain her diagnosis and help me understand. Alan was also super patient and helpful. I love my new glasses!
I have never been so well attended in a clinic before. Integra’s team scored 5 stars in my scale of demanding customer. All the team were amazing with my husband, my son and me.

DR. SHAUN PATI, OD - REAL EYES OPTOMETRY REVIEWS
I had a great time here and the customer service was great! The person who did my preliminary tests was kind and great to talk to! After that, I had the optometrist, Dr. Shaun Pati, do my eye exam. He was great! He was patient, informative and efficient! I would come here again for my next eye exam!
My family and I see Dr. Sahota, and are extremely pleased with their services. The optometrists are so patient and caring, and all the staff very helpful. We also saw Dr. Pati for an emergency, and he spent the time answering my daughters questions. We are so appreciative of his experience as he helped clear her problem and took the time to ensure she was comfortable. Top marks for this clinic!
I was very happy to see Dr. Pati. This was my first visit with him. He is very knowledgeable and checked my eyes throughly. I have been to see other ophthalmologists before but I must honestly say that Dr. Pati is by far the best.

DR. MAHMOOD GILANI, OD - LOUGHEED TOWN CENTRE OPTICAL & OPTOMETRY REVIEWS
Dr Gilani has been my optometrist for 22 years! He is diligent and caring, and this has not changed a bit in the past 22 years. He takes time, doesn’t rush you out the door, and remembers your history in detail. I will not trust my eyes with anyone else!
Dr.Gilani has been our optometrist for almost 20 years. He is informative, kind and had a very gentle nature. He put the most care and concern into every visit. My daughter who was 2 on her first visit has now returned in her university years for her eye care. Highly rated.
I took our 8 and 4 year olds in for an eye exam, and Dr. Gilani made them feel so comfortable and safe! I think they actually had FUN during this appointment, as Dr. Gilani made it seem more like a game we were playing than an eye exam. I would highly recommend him if you have kids that are hesitant about going to the doctor/dentist.
