"Exceptional Care and Successful Cataract Eye Surgery!
I recently underwent cataract surgery at Gimbel Eye Centre and am extremely pleased with the experience. The medical team was professional, compassionate, and thorough in their approach. They took the time to explain the procedure, answer my questions, and alleviate my concerns. The surgery was successful, and within 16 minutes of surgery time, my vision was restored to such a level I could not believe it was true. I can see now perfectly without any problems.
My recovery has been smooth, thanks to their excellent post-operative care. I’m grateful for their expertise and dedication to patient well-being.
Thank you, Dr. Chung, for the outstanding and excellent job you have done, I am extremely grateful for your help, you were awesome, I can see now 😊
I highly recommend this medical team for their top-notch healthcare services….Jamil"

Lovely review on Google: "My thanks to all the staff at the Gimbel Eye Centre. In particular Dr. van Westenbrugge and his crew. They performed my recent cataract eye surgery. Great work! The world is so BRIGHT now.
Dr. van Westenbrugge performed my Lasik eye surgery in 1999 as well. Both surgeries changed my life and I am forever thankful!"

"Yesterday, I underwent PRK surgery with Dr. John van Westenbrugge, and it was a positive experience. Dr. Westenbrugge warmly welcomed me with a smile and patiently addressed all my last-minute inquiries. Throughout the surgery, he maintained communication, explaining each step, which significantly eased my anxiety about the procedure. Now I understand why patients express such satisfaction after undergoing surgery with Dr. John van Westenbrugge. I wholeheartedly recommend him to others. Thank you for everything!" https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/76233/Dr-John-van+Westenbrugge-Calgary-AB.html/

Treatments available at our practice can address several different eye conditions with results that improve vision without the need for excessive reliance on corrective eyewear. In addition, our advanced cataract treatments can dramatically reduce the risks of severe vision loss and, in some cases, potentially result in vision that is even better than it was before the cataract developed.

"I had LASIK surgery done with Dr. Van Westenbrugge, and it was the best experience that I could have asked for. Dr. Van Westenbrugge was really kind and thorough. He explained what he was doing throughout the surgery which helped me relax. The surgery itself was really fast and easy and made easier by Dr. Van Westenbrugge's relaxing voice. I would recommend everyone to go and get their surgery done by him."

"I recently had PRK surgery with Dr. van Westenbrugge and it was the best decision ever. I was a bit nervous about the surgery but Dr. van Westenbrugge’s calming voice was very comforting. He talked me through every step of the procedure and what I would expect to see/feel. The overall experience was great and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is considering laser eye surgery!!"

June is a cataract awareness month.
A cataract is a cloudiness that develops in the normally clear lens of the eye. For the sake of easy reference, a natural lens is referred to as a cataract when it has turned cloudy. A cataract is not a growth, a white film, or a kind of cancer.
