Our Clinic Director:

Sheryle has worked in ophthalmology for the past 23 years and specifically in the field of laser refractive surgery for 16 years when it was first introduced to the B.C. Interior by Dr. F. deFreitas. She has vast experience in dealing with patient issues and uses her knowledge and skills to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the Kelowna Laser Vision Experience.

Sheryle on our Experience... "The in-depth knowledge and dedication of the Kelowna Laser Vision Team is outstanding and our patients are the beneficiaries of that experience. The reward for us is to regularly hear patients praise the Kelowna Laser Vision Team and say that their only regret is they didn't have the surgery done sooner."

Dr. Chambers on the team and our approach... " We like each other, we like coming to work and we like fixing lives. It's very rewarding, people do so well, it's a wonderful procedure. We are more touchy feely. Our patients can tell we care about them as a person and that we make recommendations based on what their needs really are."
