| - I wanted to wait until after my follow-up appointment before giving Spadina Optometry a proper review. After my second visit, I feel very comfortable giving this office a solid 5-stars.
I called them on a whim on a Friday, with a desire to update my eye prescription. It had been at least 7 (!) years since my last visit, and I was growing tired of reaching for my glasses so I could see things at a distance. They managed to fit me in for the following Monday (a mere two-day wait), and the morning appointment totally fit my schedule.
The examination was very thorough. They scanned my old glasses to determine the prescription, took photos of my eyes, and did a variety of vision tests. I had my eyes diluted (you can choose not to) and the staff made me feel very comfortable and cared for. Princess Buttercup (the office dog) also made me feel very welcome and looked after.
After determining my new prescription and talking about contacts, they made an appointment for me to come in the following Monday contact lens coaching. Once again, it was no problem to get a first-thing-in-the-morning appointment.
Today I went in totally nervous having never worn contacts before. The staff once again made me feel very comfortable, and one of the girls sat with me and patiently waited as I tried time and time again to get the lens in and out of my eye. After she was satisfied with my progress, she had me sit down with Dr. Heeney once again to discuss how I was feeling about the lenses (as a first time wearer). She also imparted some warnings, tips, and tricks about wearing them.
Before I left I was given a lens case and cleaning solution, and they made another appointment to follow-up in two weeks (to make sure I'm still happy).
I can't recommend this place enough. The office is full of great staff who take the time to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Never once did I feel rushed or like I was getting in the way of other patients.
The price was fine too. I paid $120 for the exam, which seems steep, but it was very comprehensive (and I won't have to have all the tests performed again the next time I go in). The contact lens coaching was $50, but that appears to have covered not only the coaching, but my first set of lenses as well.
As a bonus, if you show an interest/ask nicely, they will totally e-mail you the pictures they take of your eyeballs. Too cool.
