| - Service:
Since this is the first Yelp review for this business, perhaps I can go into a little more detail. I was actually referred to see the opthamologist here by a doctor from a Walk-In Clinic. All the staff were okay, definitely looked a little tired, but not rude or mean. It's a super big clinic. My only pointer for you is to get someone to drop you off or drive you. Most likely you are in here because your eyes have issues and I'm sure you will get a dilating agent (but hey, I'm no doctor). Make sure you tell your buddy to look for parking behind the building, around the corner.
Wait Times:
The place is so big they have names for different waiting areas, I lol'ed. Anyhow, the whole process took less than 1.5 hours. That's not too bad, maybe people here are more privileged, I rarely get to see a doctor in less than 1 hour (don't hate me). I do think the healthcare system needs to be revised, especially when you book an appointment time and that time is not honoured. Personally I prefer doctors who spend more time with patients, regardless of who is booked after...aren't we talking about someone's eyes here?
Doctors:
Mine was fine. Just my 2 cents, for any health care service, if you are not well-versed in medical terminology or need help with understanding treatment plans - bring someone else. I always do this, so take it or leave it (my advice I mean). Try to write down all your questions before attending your appointment, before letting your doctor do anything - ask them what they intend to do (sometimes they forget or assume you are okay with everything), it's ok to ask health care professionals to repeat or better yet write things down for you.
I'm not saying the ophthalmologist I saw was perfect. When I mentioned some other symptom, he went to back to look at my eye again and performed more stuff...probably could have done that since the beginning. I guess my nudge to him prompted the doctor to think "I better be extra careful and be 100% sure".
