Our clinics in Smithers and Burns Lake have a strong history in the community over the past two decades, and joined FYidoctors in 2016. One of our optometrists, Dr. Barry Lester, has been with the practice for over 20 years. Our decades serving these communities has allowed us to gain a large and loyal patient customer base. Our patient base has a wide variety in demographics with patients of all ages coming to our clinic. This allows for a variety in our work as we get to see and treat patients in different stages of life 

Currently, our clinic in Smithers includes 4 functional exam lanes, and Burns Lake 1 functional exam lane. Both clinics are well-equipped with the latest diagnostic technology and have passionate and knowledgeable staff that are able to provide support in each aspect of the clinic. Our practice also has a strong relationship with First Nations communities in the region, and we are proud to provide an outreach service to patients who are unable to come to our clinic - bringing our equipment and medical expertise to serve the public.
