| - I moved into East Danforth this past summer, had my first appointment with Dr. Petrou last week. His office is small, with just a tiny sign outside. But that doesn't matter, what matters for an optometrist, at least for me, is (a) competence, and (b) friendliness. Dr. Petrou had both.
It was just a simple eye exam, but he was patient and explained to me what was going on with my eyes (I got 0.5 dioptres worse over the last year, which has me very concerned), explained what I can do to slow the degeneration, and discussed my glasses, contacts, and the possibility of laser eye surgery. (Not an option: they want to see stability for 2 years before considering it, so that you don't get the laser surgery only to need glasses again in a year.) Anyway, we discussed my options and then he re-ordered my contacts for me; same brand as I was already using, so that was nice.
His secretary showed up late so when I got there for my morning appointment, he was answering the phone (in Greek!) and scheduling appointments himself. He seemed to accept this with a sort of patient resignation; I get the feeling it wasn't the first time it had happened.
Anyway, this is not a flashy office, and most of the patients seem to be older, but I would highly recommend giving Dr. Petrou a call.
