- Roy SMany, many thanks to Niomi and Mary at Baird Optometrists in Callander for their professionalism and time spent dealing with my emergency treatment this week. They gave me every confidence and support in a situation that could have been very serious for my future vision. An excellent catch, thanks to your team.

- John WRequiring to be seen urgently following flu, my needs were not only met flawlessly, but with exceptional care, consideration, service and professionalism by the Callander team. If I single out Naomi for special praise, it is not to forget the kind attention of Dawn the Receptionist, and others in the team. I should not conclude without confessing I was 'bowled over' by the provision of genuine 'cutting edge' uses of modern digital technology to assist the team in its work; that I must confess I had not expected to see in a litle place like Callander. It really doesn't matter where you are, if you bring the right tools together. Between the people (the most important part) and the clever use of digital innovation in the appliaction of organistaional service, you have an impressive operation in a single package. My grateful thanks to all, and especially to Naomi..
