Effective
May 1, 2011 Dr. Hopp will be perfoming majority
of his cataract surgery at the Kamloops Surgical
centre www.kamloopssurgery.com
located
at 200-741 Sahali Terrace. Our cataract
wait list is approximately 6-7 months. Our
surgical booking technician keeps a list of patients
that would like to have their surgery done sooner,
so if you would like to be on that “cancellation
list”, please call our office or email surgerybookings@interiorretina.com
to have your name added to that list and she will
call you when someone cancels. From time
to time we are offered extra surgery days above
and beyond our regular Wednesdays. If this
happens, the patients on the cancellation list
will be notified first as it is usually short
notice.
For patients that are requiring Retinal surgery
they will still take place at the Royal Inland
Hospital, generally on a Thursday. The wait
list for retinal surgery depends on the diagnosis.
If you have any questions regarding your wait
please call the office or email our surgery technician
surgerybookings@interiorretina.com.
Thank you very much for your patience.
