    The voice on my voicemail was confirming my eye appointment the following day.  

    "Eye appointment?  What eye appointment???"  I thought...  

    But as it turns out, I had booked my follow up appointment TWO YEARS EARLIER, and promptly forgot all about it.  But the Calgary Optometry Center certainly did NOT lose track.  

    Once it was established that I had indeed committed to something 2 years past, it was apparent the appointment time wasn't going to work.  The location in question was the Avenida area, and I now work downtown.  Mid afternoon is too inconvenient.

    "No problem," they said.  "We have a location downtown as well, and your doctor works out of both.  We can send your information there... "

    Done deal.

    So... I went for my check up, and a couple of things did stand out:

    -- The location is pretty convenient for downtown workers, as it's right off the LRT, next door to Moxies.

    -- I didn't have to wait at all - I walked in, and was immediately taken back to start the exam process.

    -- The exam room and area behind reception is surprisingly spacious, especially given it's downtown real estate.  I appreciated not being crammed into a little room like when I visit my family doctor.

    -- Dr..Shen has a great "soothing" quality about her, making the visit painless.  And thanks for not up-selling me additional reading glasses for work!

    No complaints at all.  

    5/30
