In their February edition, Protégez-Vous presented the results of a comparative inquiry on the province’s clinics. Michel Pop Clinics obtained their highest rating!
Montreal’s Michel Pop Clinic Comes out Ahead
Along with Iris Ophthalmology Clinic in Laval, the Michel Pop Clinic in Montreal obtained the highest rating of three stars, placing it above Lasik MD in Montreal, the Institut Laser Visuel in Quebec City, FocusVision in Montreal, Laservue Clinic in Montreal and ChirurgiVision Clinic in Trois-Rivières (two stars), as well as 100% Vision in Sherbrooke and the Montreal Eye Institute (one star).
The three-star rating recognizes the expertise and savoir-faire of ophthalmologist Doctor Pop and his specialized teams. Michel Pop Clinics have offered laser vision correction since 1992. This confirms the Montreal clinic’s status as the best Lasik clinic in Montreal, and one of the two best Lasik clinics in Quebec, along with Iris Clinic in Laval.
The Protégez-Vous Inquiry
Selection of Nine Lasik Clinics in Quebec
Quebec has a total of 20 laser ocular surgery clinics. To ensure the investigation’s objectivity, Protégez-Vous studied one clinic per network, as well as independent clinics situated in the largest municipalities in Quebec, for a total of 9 clinics.
Evaluation by Two “Mystery Shoppers”
Protégez-Vous conducted their inquiry in a discreet manner, with the help of two mystery shoppers who visited the nine selected clinics. In each clinic, these two mystery shoppers asked for a pre-operation evaluation, which is free at Michel Pop Clinics. Protégez-Vous was looking to evaluate the quality of this meeting, which is essential and mandatory for all eye operations, and can take from one to three hours. The evaluation criteria included the quality of information given, the number of tests given, the attitude of the personnel towards the risks involved, the quality of the documentation given, the techniques and price proposed, and client service.
This award is in addition to the , a prestigious certificate obtained by Michel Pop Clinics in 2013, which highlights the quality and security of health services offered across Canada.
The Michel Pop clinics in Montreal and Gatineau work each day to maintain their high standards of quality, and to remain the industry leaders in laser vision correction.
