I have been going to Dr Shajani at Lynn Valley Optometry for about 8 years now, ever since I was unhappy at being treated like a number at my Optometrist, in,out no discussion about my eyes etc. My GP referred me to Dr Shajani saying he was great and was she ever right. The first time I went he told me so much about my eyes, what vitamins to take, food to eat, to help my eyes. I was amazed, No one had ever spent time with me and really cared about my eyes. Shortly after that he correctly diagnosed a very serious problem with my eyes, that had previously gone undetected. Dr Shajani sent me to a Specialist and I have since gotten treatment for this. He also helped my grandaughter who had a problem with her eyes skipping over words, lines and going backwards on the page she was reading. This too was undetected before. He gave us exercises and information to help her and she can now read as well as anyone. Had he not discovered this she would have had a terrible time with her studies. This year in Grade 8, she won an award for good grades, something that would never have happened without Dr Shajani. Thankyou Dr Shajani!! The new office is lovely, staff very low key, helpful and friendly. When you enter they offer you a number of exotic coffees and teas, all in all a nice experience.
I am surprised to read the previous review and feel compelled to write in praise of Lynn Valley Optometry. My husband and infant son are both patients at this clinic and we have received exemplary care. The optometrist/owner did a thorough and well explained examination of my husband using instruments that are state of the art. He could even show us a picture of a freckle that my husband has on the back of his eye! When my husband was deciding whether it was important to fill his prescription, the Optometrist had a special piece of equipment that could instantly show him his former prescription and then his new one so he could see the improvement before he got his new eyewear. We were introduced to very personable and professional staff members who guided us through a wide selection of frames, even going so far as to bring out stock that hadn't been put out yet to make us happy. When it was my one year old son's turn the Optometrist used custom material for kids to allow him to ensure my son's eyes were healthy and working properly. I would highly recommend this clinic for patients of all ages, especially if you like high quality eyewear and eyecare!
This was by far the worst optical and optometric experience I have ever had. From the moment I entered all I could hear was the staff bickering amongst themselves making me very uncomfortable as I waiting for my appointment. After seeing the optometrist there, who I believe is also the owner, I realized that I had made a mistake. He was unpersonable, rushed and didn't seem to listen to any of my concerns. He seemed only intersted in my money and getting me into a pair of progressives, which was absolutely the goal of the optician there as she pushed to try and get me to buy a pair of $1000 glasses. She made me feel stupid for wanting to take my time to consider the purchase and promised to give me "a special price" if I bought them immediately. My advice, stear clear of this place. It might look good from the outside, but looks can be decieving.
