Gimbel Eye Centre

I got laser correction with Dr. Van Westenburgge about 6 months ago. The service was impeccable, the people are nice and caring, and the process was completed without hitch. They are not pushy and want to provide the type of correction that fits your needs. So far no corrections needed and no complications arose.

My experience with the PRK consult and surgery went well. However, it has been approximately two years and the results are already fading fast. My eyes started to revert not even two months after the coverage ended to complete any needed 'tune up' work. A lot of pain and discomfort to not even have two years! Now if I want to go back I am stuck with PRK as my only option and was not aware of this when it was completed.

One of the best cataract surgeries in the world.

My experience at Gimbel was from start to finish exceptional. The staff was friendly and very helpful in determining what type of eye surgery was right for the line of work I'm getting into (policing). I got the PRK proceedure done by Dr. Gimbel himself. The proceedure took about 20-25 minutes and was done. The eye drops needed after surgery are easy to take and are avalible right next door. There is a viewing room so loved ones can watch your proceedure. I was lucky and didn't have a lot of discomfort following (except about about an hour or two in the evening of the surgery) and had a bit of vision impairment for a about a week after. I went back to work 10 days later with about 20/60 vision. Now about 2 months later I'm seeing perfect 20/20 vision and even an improvement in my night vision. Being a guy whose had terrible (-8.50 prescription in both eyes) eyesight my entire life being able to see without glasses or contacts was delightful. Would recommend Gimbel to anyone looking for surgery to improve your eyesight. 110%. I can't thank them enough for the tremendous job they've done.

Both my mother and later my husband had very successful cataract surgery with Dr Gimbel. It was so reassuring to pray with him before surgery and I watched the surgery from behind glass, what steady hands!

I was an out of province patient, Dr. Gimbel was recommended by my ophthalmologist. I had two new lens implants on the same day. I could not have asked for a better outcome, during a post operation follow-up with my ophthalmologist, he described Dr. Gimbel as a truly great eye surgeon as well as an artist in his profession. I cannot speak more highly of his support team, very professional, from my pre operation examination to the post operation the following day.
