The store and staff at Woodgrove Mall in Nanaimo were amazing. Despite some glitches in communication, they went the 2nd mile to get me the right pair of glasses and gave me a significant discount as part of their apology.

All staff members were professional, efficient and friendly and the cost was very reasonable. All other optometrists in Nanaimo should be worried!

Great experience from start to finish. Eye exam was excellently done. They suggested good glasses and also did all the insurance claims themselves. Highly recommend this place (even over Costco)

I am incredibly happy with the experience at Woodgrove Specsavers. My first visit! The technology is next level. My optometrist explained the results of every test and provided advice for eye care. Every single person I encountered, from the tech to sales to fitting?!?! Unbelievable. Everyone knew how to process my various benefits. I was thunderstruck that I could get two pairs of progressives, thin lenses, blue light protection and transitions for the same price as bifocals at my previous store!! Each and every staff member should be proud of how phenomenal they are. I pick up my glasses in a couple of weeks and can’t wait. Thank you Woodgrove Specsavers!!
