You'd be better off to make the drive to Edmonton over going to Dr. Chornell. That man should retire is all I will say.
Ruth V. replied:
As far as I know, Dr. Chornell is the only ophthalmologist in St. Albert. There are plenty of optometrists. Unless there is some specific concern, an optometrist should be adequate & much quicker to book an appointment. Because ophthalmologists are specialist, you will likely require a referral.

There is only one ophthalmologist in St. Albert but more in Edmonton. You may want to check www.ratethemds.com for ones. I know our friends take their kids into the Stollery/U of A for their ophthalmologist.

Eye Health Center - Sam Boucher and Sophie Jobin are the doctors both my children have seen. My older boy needed eye surgery at 18 months which Dr. Boucher arranged by getting us in with a surgeon at the U of A. Our boy is now 11 and the awesome care continues with a recent referal by Dr. Boucher to a specialist to help with special exercises to strengthen his eye muscles. So for complex or standard care you cannot go wrong at Eye Health.

We take my 4 year old to Dr. Solarte (pediatric opthalmologist) at the Stollery/University Hospital. He is AMAZING!!! He just did our daughter's surgery last month and we couldn't be happier

A referral to to an opthalmologist that works with children is a good idea. My son was seen at the Stollery by Dr. McDonald who ended up doing his two surgeries and it was an overall very good experience.
Irene R. replied:
My daughter sees Dr McDonald as well. I recommend him also.
Hi friends- Can I get some recommendations for an eye doctor here in St. Albert just for regular check ups. Thanks in advance.

Some clinics are able to bill Alberta Health for the eye exam fees (for those over 18). The Eye Health Clinic and Dr. Morison's Clinic are two that I know of in St.Albert that don't charge you and they both offer excellent care
