FYidoctors Sets Sights on Northern Ontario with Addition of Two Locations

FYidoctors announced the merger of Sault Optometry and Sault Optometry Blind River – adding to its growing list of clinics in the province. As the number of clinics in Northern Ontario continues to increase, this also marks the first FYidoctors’ locations in both Sault Ste. Marie and Blind River, Ontario.

“To say 2020 has been a challenging year for Canadian businesses would be an understatement. Despite all that has been endured, we are fortunate to have the ability to continue moving forward with our national expansion alongside outstanding partners like Sault Optometry,” said Dr. Alan Ulsifer, CEO and Chairman of FYidoctors.

Both clinics have been serving the community of Sault Ste. Marie, Blind River, and surrounding areas for over 18 years. Sault Optometry is the largest practice in the region and specializes in dry eye treatments. Other services offered include comprehensive eye exams, a full-service dispensary, pediatric exams, and contact lens exams.

“For over a decade, our clinics have been committed to the eye health of our community and ensuring they are receiving the highest standard of comprehensive vision care – in turn, helping them see their best,” said Dr. Krista Bruni. “As a part of this commitment, we recognized the importance of working with a reputable, doctor-led organization like FYidoctors, and couldn’t be more excited to now offer our patients the highest quality products and services available through this new partnership.”

The sentiment was echoed by the teams at Sault Optometry and Sault Optometry Blind River, which are comprised of highly skilled optometrists including Dr. John Bettello; Dr. Krista Bruni; Dr. Joanna Chartrand; Dr. Bruno Coccimiglio; Dr. Hilary DeLuca; Dr. Brian Matthews; Dr. Ryan Pietrzakowski and Dr. Natalie Zagordo – in addition to administrative staff and support.
