We Are Relocating & Merging
As many of you will be aware, our less physically able patients are unable to comfortably and safely use the stairs leading to and from the practice. Furthermore, we have been struggling to offer appointments at Eyefinity within a reasonable time frame for a while now. This is down to the difficulties in finding appropriately qualified Optometrists with the right experience and expertise.
In order to address these issues, I have decided to merge Eyefinity with another local Opticians practice. Many of you will remember Matthew who used to work at Eyefinity when I first opened on Pinstone Street in Sheffield City Centre in 2006. It is with Matthew, that we will be forming a partnership.
Therefore, as of the 1st of April Eyefinity will relocate and merge with:
Westfield Opticians,
201 White Lane,
Gleadless,
Sheffield
S12 3GG
Westfield Opticians is located at Gleadless Townend which is approximately a 15 minute drive from our current location and we have plans of a complete refurbishment of the premises towards the end of the year. For many of you this will make the new location easier to get to, however for some this will be a little further away. As most of you only see us once every one or two years, I hope it will not be too much of an inconvenience.
This merger brings a number of benefits to our patients:
- Better appointment availability
- Off street parking
- Ground Floor premises with wheelchair access
- Access to a wider product portfolio
- Stable infrastructure for your ongoing care
It must be stressed that this decision has been made in order to secure quality ongoing care for the patients who have supported me over the years, and who I feel a personal responsibility to. While the name and look of the practice may be different, I give you my personal assurance, that I will still be overseeing your eye care personally and will still be as accessible as before.
When the time comes, the next correspondence you will receive will be from Westfield Opticians inviting you to book you next Eye Examination at which point can ask for an appointment to be provided on a day when I am available.
Should you wish to discuss this merger and it’s implications to you personally please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to greeting you at our new location soon.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
East & all the staff at Eyefinity
