  This is a state of the art facility - we Southern Albertans are very fortunate to have this available to us. Everything is clean and well organized. The parking and C train access are excellent. Also, it is so convenient for patients to be able to access diagnostic and surgical services in one place. This will forever be my destination for my eye care and for that of my family.

  Absolutely Dreadful New Parking System! I really regret having to post a negative review of an otherwise wonderful facility and staff that have been looking after me very well for the last six years. Unfortunately an massively user unfriendly pay parking system has been implemented. Signs direct users to pay in the lobby, BUT the payment machine is installed in the confined rear vestibule, making it so crowded with the lineup for the single machine that it presents a gauntlet for leaving patients and companions - many with visual and mobility issues, many frail. While lined up for the machine I observed that many of those ahead of me had difficulty with the machine. After all visual Impairments are common in the patient population. Patient safety demands that the payment machines be installed in areas where they will not create congestion. There is ample space in patient waiting areas. Instruction handouts, including in large print, need to be available at all reception areas so that patients can check in first, then decide how to pay either by machine, phone or smartphone. Of course an ample grace period needs to be allowed. After my appointment, I visited Mountain Equipment Coop. After some years of difficulty with their parking payment system, MEC is now on the city ParkPlus system. In some fifteen seconds I had my parking payment completed with their app on my phone. I really don't want to have to install another app, especially as smaller operators are vulnerable to hacking of their payment systems. Hopefully SAEC can change over to ParkPlus, which already has many Calgary region residents as subscribers and has a good record of transaction security.

  Dr. Ells and all the staff treat my grandmother amazingly! It's very stressful for her to go in every month but the team make her visits worthwhile. Only not 5star because the new parking system is horrible..
