FYidoctors, formerly Pacific Eye Doctors, has been part of the Dunbar community since 2004. Founding partner optometrists, Dr. Mockler, Dr. McNab, and Dr. Vetsch established their first clinic in Richmond in 1986, and in 2004 opened the Dunbar location. That year Dr. Brooks came on board as a partner to assist with offering excellence in eye care. In 2008, the company joined the larger Fyidoctors group. This has allowed them to continually reinvest in technology in order to provide exceptional eye care. Dr. Brooks says, “The name change reflects our shared belief that patients should come before products and that eye care should always be our primary focus.” She adds, “We are doctorowned and doctor-led.” Dr. Brooks reports, “Dr. Vetsch has retired and Dr. Mockler is semi-retired. In addition to myself and Dr. McNab, we have four associates: 26
Dr. Terynn Chan, Dr. Sarah Hagedorn, Dr. Ashala Mah, and Dr. Russell Tong.”
Last December, FYidoctors moved next to London Drugs. The bright and airy clinic is slightly larger and offers plenty of free parking. FYidoctors continues to offer an extensive range of services including comprehensive eye examinations, management of eye disease, fitting and dispensing of all types of contact lenses, eyewear, and sunglasses. Dr. Brooks says, “We are continually updating our procedures and equipment based on the most recent vision research and science.”
