Stephen Stewart

I recently bought a new pair of Tom Ford prescription glasses and I love them. Thank you Patty, Sara and all the FYidoctors staff for providing exceptional service.

I have been attending FYI Drs for the majority of my life, especially since needing glasses and I have always been treated with respect and kindness. The technician, Shelby helped myself and my wife and she was fun, gave us all her attention and time and opinion in a kind way. I would HIGHLY recommend FYI Drs in Chilliwack and go see Shelby Stam, she's awesome. All the other folks that work there have been awesome to myself and my wife as well. THANK YOU everyone!

Our family of 5 had an excellent experience at FYidoctors Chilliwack recently. Reception accommodated 5 appointments at once and the optometrists and staff were great with our young kids. Shout out to Shelby for being a great personal glasses shopper, making helpful suggestions and getting us through the process quickly and easily.

Jil Sonia McDonald

Absolutely fantastic experience! Prompt and attentive, kind staff. Dr. Asirvatham was so kind, she explained things very well. She wasn't rushed and was calm, professional and friendly. Absolutely outstanding experience.

Service was exceptional. My son forgot his contacts while we were on vacation and Chilliwack FYIdoctors arranged for some replacements. service was quick and efficient.

Paul Laviolette

I was 4 mins late for my appointment. The people after me came early but hadn't gotten in yet. They then told me I would have to wait for that couple to go before I could go in even though the person before me wasn't finished. Not very good customer service. I never buy my contacts or glasses from them as it's way cheaper online. Make sure you ask for your prescription as they always try to keep it from you. My family will never be going back.

Hollins Projects

After receiving attitude from receptionist i decided to use IRIS who was pleasant to deal with and charge nothing for my daughter initial exam, while FYI charges $80. FYI could be amazing here but I'll never know because I will never consider them again.

Natassja Topp

After my prescription sunglasses were stolen I chose FYI Doctors to help me get a new pair. Frances, Patty, Shelby, and Sara were excellent. Patty and Frances helped book me an eye appointment for the next business day, while Shelby and Sara took the time to help me pick out my new frames and explain different lens options with me. I ended up with a new pair of sunglasses and I couldn't be happier. Edit: I almost forgot to add that Dr. Cullen was great as well! He made sure my vision needs were met and he explained how my prescription works as well.

The staff at FYI Doctors on Mary St in Chilliwack are phenomenal! I have been a patient there for many years, but recently had a corneal injury which left me unable to see with my left eye. The staff were so helpful and fitted me in to see Dr Asirvatham that morning, despite her already full schedule. She was very thorough and reassuring and took a lot of time to check my eye and made it a priority to find an ophthalmologist who could see me that same day. The staff were so patient and kind, making numerous phone calls on my behalf. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt truly cared for. Special thanks to "Dr Abby", Anne and Patti for making my eye health a priority and for being so genuinely helpful, caring and professional.

Belinda McIsaac

Have dealt for yrs with this business and location. They were quick and efficient in picking new glasses the other day when I was on a time constraint. Always willing to go above and beyond!

Jewel Hand

Fantastic place with great staff! The office is clean and the staff are kind. Highly highly recommend!

Michael Butterfield

The entire staff at FYI on Mary Street goes the extra mile. You can tell that they genuinely care about pleasing their clients. They take extra steps for cleanliness and disinfection as well, which is highly appreciated. Great experience every time we've been there.

Charles Bolding

Customer service is not great ... current pair of glasses broken. Desperate for the new pair. FYi requested "rushed" but then 'cold shouldered'.... Perhaps the problem is with the optical lab where the lenses are actually made. Whatever the reason FYi seems not very considerate of customer p.o.v. Maybe OK if you're just upgrading current eyeglasses and have plenty of time...? But they never apologized or in any way acknowledged a problem. As for the glasses themselves, I was sold top end "expand your field of vision" progressives. It seems to be anything but ... I have never experienced such narrow tunnel vision.

Tanya Adkins

Chilliwack, Mary Street FYI Eye Doctors Is the only place my husband and I go to for our eye care needs. We have moved all over BC and will travel across BC to this location for our eye care, they have even mailed our contact to us. Their staff are knowledgeable and friendly, especially Patti who has has a smile and warmth to her you can feel through a mask or over the phone. She makes the extra effort to ensure we are satisfied and comfortable with our purchases, but also genuinely really cares about her Customers.

Sheila Friesen

Very professional and helpful. The office was organized and clean. The staff attentive and knowledgeable. Great place.

Kathy McLellan

I would highly recommend FYidoctors in Chilliwack on Mary St. The staff are all very friendly, knowledgable and attentive to detail. Thank you especially to the doctor, Irene and then Sarah who made it fun to choose new frames and also the right lens choice. 5 star!

Andrea Bleasdale

I always have dealt with Patti when ordering contacts. She's always helpful and patient, even when they're super busy in there! Thank you!

Schitts Creek

The best experience I have had with an optometrist center. I have never been to one, and I needed my wife's glasses repaired. It was simple repair, and they finished it within about 20 minutes. Didn't ask for any money and they were very polite and accommodating.

Owen Carr

Worst Costumer Service I experienced in over 10 years. I get prescription eye glasses every 2 years and decided to try this place even though it was more expensive than local Competitors like Sardis Optical, I regret wasting my time, shopping here was a inconvenient hassle. I would not recommend this place at all,

Barrie McCaulkiner

I had a great experience here! The reception staff is polite and helpful! I took my son in for an eye exam and everyone was professional and kind!

Tanya Maahs

Thanks to the staff, Dr Abigail, Stacy and Sarah for great service!

Katrina Hoffman

I’ve had contacts for 1.5 years and spent the first year struggling with them slipping. Recently, I was refit with contacts from FYI and they were patient and kind with me as I trialed multiple sets of contacts to find the right ones! I also bought some glasses from them and even though I hate wearing glasses and picking ones that fit me Lily from FYI helped me pick a pair that I actually love and don’t mind wearing! If you’re going to FYI I would seriously recommend going because you’ll be helped by some lovely ladies!

Amanda Plain

Have been going here for 30+ years. In recent years I feel like they want my money and don't treat me as a patient. Saying my son should get new glasses to Max out our insurance when we just got a pair a few months before. Find them very pushy to buy eye wear from them after getting the exam. It's really put me off to the point of looking for a new optometrist.

Marv Rempel

Getting my special contact lenses took almost a year due to the need to have many fittings. I appreciated it that they valued my time and so each fitting was quick and efficient. Now that I have received my lenses the fit has never been better. Thank you

Wendy Neumann

Story. My husband who is 84 years fell on July 31at at our Culus cottage and needed stitches in his ear brow and forearm. Also, he damaged the frames a d broke a lens of his glasses Thanks to Tom, who is very skilled and considerate, he agreed to repair my husband's glasses Aug. 2nd so that we could continue our holiday and we arranged to have his glasses replaced when we returned home in Victoria. We would like to extend highest recommendation to Tom and the Staff at FYI doctors, Mary's St. Chilliwack. You are terrific professionals. Kindest Regards, Don and Wendy Neumann,

Susan Regoczi

Excellent customer service. The staff is always very friendly, patient and helpful. I really appreciate all the efforts in finding the perfect glasses for my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised. Great work!

A. H

I recently went for a exam/new glasses and had an exceptional experience. A lovely girl by the name of Shelby was incredibly helpful. From helping find a pair of glasses that suited me best, to doing fine adjustments at pickup. She genuinely wants to help. Who knew finding a pair of glasses could be so fun!

Dave S.

Was in today for a contact lens fitting and was very impressed with both Patty's and Ann's professionalism and attention to detail. They took the extra time and care to make sure my lenses were positioned properly and comfortable. Look forward to seeing them and the great Doctors in the future.

Karen Hay

Everyone was friendly and courteous, Stacy and Shelby were very helpful and informative. Dr. Schmidt was very good at explaining everything to me. Thank you! Definitely will be back for glasses!

Jenny Jansen

Thank you everyone at FYI. Dr. Bauer was professional, efficient and friendly. Shelby helped me pick out my new glasses, and I loved her warm and caring personality as she patiently helped me search for new frames. I love how they look and feel, and would definitely recommend this clinic if you need new glasses!

Todd Sanford

Awesome. Ryan Schmidt is the best eye doctor in town

Caleb Pennington

I think it's near impossible to get better service at any other eye doctor than FYIdoctors Chilliwack. I've been going here for years and years, and each time I come back is better than the last. They clearly explain every step they perform, the doctors are always helpful through each step and offering their advice on different products, and the floor staff is more than willing to help with a big smile (even behind a mask!) when choosing your favourite pair of glasses. I can't recommend them enough.

ANGELA DEN BOER

FYI Doctors in Chilliwack is the best place to go. Dr Abby (Abigail) is so kind and took the time to answer questions and explained everything so well. Sarah and Shelby were amazing also. They listened to what your needs were, selected frames and gave their honest opinion on the what looks good and what doesn't. I really appreciated that. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. You guys all make an awesome team!! Thanks for all you did

Leona Gardiner

My experience at FYI was excellent today. All Covid protocols were observed and my appointment took place, right on time. The staff I met were very efficient and welcoming. My eye exams were carefully done and everything was explained as they proceeded. Kevin Cullen, the optometrist, was excellent and he explained the test results. Without any pressure to purchase glasses at their clinic, I decided, on my own, to do so. Sara, helped me to choose my frames and offered several price points and options that were best for me. She was patient and very helpful. I left the clinic feeling I had had a positive experience so I highly recommend FYI

Louisa

Great team of experienced professionals. Friendly and approachable staff. Consistently take time to be thorough and are flexible in order to meet individual needs. Commited to client satisfaction even if it requires exchange of product. Having a challenging prescription for both contacts and glasses, I have had experience with numerous clinics and now travel from Vancouver to receive care from this capable and knowledgeable team.

Stephanie S

Great experience at the Chilliwack FYI Doctors. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable in frames and lenses. I love my new glasses and the way they look/fit. The doctor even checked my daughters eyes and was very professional and kid friendly. Would highly recommend FYI to others.

Gerry Payment

I was very pleased by the very good service,quality and value that i received in my new glasses.

marcus zerr

Happy counter-service very welcoming the doctor was top-notch answered my concerned questions very intelligently .He made double sure on every procedure s I like that. The young lady Megan that took care of me purchasing and choosing my glasses was over the top. Set me at ease answered every question happily made sure I knew all my options. Showed she was interested and cared about what she was doing and that I was happy with their service. It does not get better than that. Sincerely Marcus from Hope BC

mckenzie price

So helpful! Staff was a delight! Would definitely recommend

Hayley Boychuk

My son and I have both gotten our glasses from here and I just have to say I was really truly impressed with the customer service from all the employees. Very helpful above and beyond. To anyone needing glasses I highly recommend FYI doctors ????????

Britanié Fletcher-Taylor

I thought my appointment was 30 minutes later than it was and they ended up switching stuff around and got me in promptly! They were amazing!

Blair Fu

FYI does not back thier products that they sell. I bought clip in sun glasses which broke after a few times wearing them. i showed them my receipt and had to argue to have them replaced. Would not buy anything from them

Flannery Brown

Highly recommend! I had such a great experience at FYI on Mary St. Each and every staff member was so friendly, helpful and professional. Dr. Abby and Sabrina were so good at explaining how everything works. Outstanding team and environment. Will not be going anywhere else!

Ross Buchanan

A huge Thank You to three members of the Chilliwack team. Thank you to Stacey for being so willing to find me help, to Meagan for analyzing the situation and deciding to tap into more experience and to Tom for doing his best to improve the fit of my new glasses. The level of pain caused by the frames that I purchased elsewhere in the community has been reduced. Thanks to the willingness to help, the talent and the time the pain I was experiencing from the new glasses purchased elsewhere was reduced. I know where I will be going to purchased my next pair of glasses.

Randy S

Friendly, clean, open concept. Lilly took great care of me, she knows how to treat people right. Darcy took his time and was frank and honest. Personable too. Def will go back. (And no problem getting the prescription - didnt even have to ask)

Candice Talari

I had a great experience. Someone helped me through the whole process. They also took my budget into consideration and helped me find something I could afford.

Timosh Blosh

From out of town, I was in a bind today and Patty helped me out with some quick contact lenses. All the staff were very nice and straightforward and I couldn't be more grateful!

Shelley Friesen

The team was super friendly and helpful! They helped pick a great new frame that suited me. I also ordered contacts and they came in so fast. Highly recommend this place!

Amber Holliday

We have been going to FYI Doctors for my daughter’s glasses for many years. Staff have always been attentive to her needs and willing to readjust them as necessary as she grew. Recently I purchased my first pair of progressives and I really love them.

Tyler Simmonds

Thank you for all the years of great service!

Miguel Delva

Helping out a friend. The staff and reception where very helpful. And the thorough excamination that my friend received from Dr Darcy Bauer was excellent. A big thank you to everyone.

Gail Hamanishi

Thank you fyi doctors for discovering I had diabetic retinopathy. I had no idea I had it. I am receiving treatment in Abbotsford and it is getting better. I can't thank you enough

Nazanin Kadivar

Dr. Bauer looked extremely uninterested in my problem. He didn't even bother asking any questions or explaining anything regarding my concern. Just a quick prescription exam and even that was not done right. I ordered a pair of glasses based on his prescription. I wasn't happy with my vision using them at all and had to go to another optometrist to do a new eye exam. I ended up with a new prescription for both eyes.

Aldo Garcia Aguilar

In my original review I gave them only 2 stars, you can read it below. But I had to edit it because now I'm more than pleased of the great customer service they gave me, I can say that they really care for their customers and they'll do whatever is necessary to satisfy you. Thank you very much to all of you but specially to Patti for the great service, I wont hesitate to recommend your clinic to all the people I know. I'm leaving my original comment so everybody can read what the problem was and so people know that after my review I was contacted by them and they were incredible in their customers service. "The staff was very nice and polite, no complaints there, my complaint has to do with the fact that after the doctor checked my eyes he told me that I had a 20/20 vision, my problem was that I spent a lot of time in front of a computer because of my job, so he prescribed me some moisturizing eye drops and told me that he could prescribe me some reading glasses if I wanted to, I told him that if they were going to help me that I would take them, he said they would so I ordered them, thankfully I have insurance so I didn’t have to pay too much but still had to pay some, and in this times that we’re living in a lot of us are trying to save as much as we can, anyway, a week after they called me to let me know they were ready and after I tried them they hurt my eyes, they are okay within 12 inches, but I don’t sit within 12 inches from my computer monitor, I called them and explained them what happened and they gave me another appointment, when I went and explained that to the lady she told me that they were only for reading, not for computer, that she could get me computer glasses but they were $270 more. I understand that the doctor told me that he could prescribe me “reading glasses “, but I told him that if they were going to help me with my problem that I will take them, and since I told him that I spend a lot of time in the computer I assumed that this “reading glasses “ were good for “reading” in the computer, so now I’m short $200 and stuck with a pair of glasses that I really didn’t need.

Kenton Embree

This FYI is the worst. Never open past 5:00 so absolutely impossible to get in if you work long hours. No staff. And you have to make an appointment to just pick out a pair of frames. Have got off work early on a Saturday , to only find out they are closed for inventory. If customers were import to you, would you not do your inventory in the evening. Would not recommend them to anyone.

Brian W

Very caring staff made sure I was happy with my glasses even though I was so indecisive.

Frank Staiger

Went to an appointment with my wife. They went out of their way not only to look after us, but they did extra exams even though we would normally require an additional appointment. Great service, great people!

Lashan Merian

We had a good experience here. We went with apart of the eye see, eye learn program with the schools. Staff were friendly eager to help look us at frames. Understanding our son not the most calmest guy. Not a lot of selection for what our coverage was only downside.

Margot MacFadyen

I have been enjoying my visits with all of the staff at FYI Doctors for years but especially with Ann and Patty for my contact lens fittings. Superb service always plus lots of fun and laughter. My favourite place to visit hands down!!

T Wagar

I walked into the exam, the doctor asked me how old I was, then told me i needed progressive lenses. He did not exam my eyes before this "assessment" and did not even ask me about my vision. He simply said I was getting to that age. Finally put me through the tests, said my eyes were not as bad as he thought but that I would still benefit from progressives. Then he walked me over to someone who told me I should spend 700.00 on lenses. I beat feet outta there, went to 2 other optometrists for their opinion and ended up with a mild prescription for near sighted glasses....... these guys should be ashamed.

Rachael Konzelmann

Would highly recommend FYIdoctors! The staff are super friendly and Dr. Abigail Asirvatham is a great eye doctor who truly cares for her patients. I ordered a pair of glasses from there and was so happy with the whole process. The staff were very helpful and informative and helped me find the perfect glasses. Just picked them up yesterday and am very happy with them.
