A Letter from Dr. McGuigan

April 2022

Dear patients and friends,

I wish to inform you that I will be retiring from Spectrum Eyecare effective April 30, 2022.

Since starting practice in 1975, I have had an incredible and rewarding career meeting so many wonderful people. It has been an honour to gain your respect, confidence and trust to manage you eyecare needs, in some cases for five generations!

During my career I have enjoyed every day of practice and I will miss my time with all of you. I am eternally grateful for your kindness and friendship.

I can assure you that you will continue to receive quality care and service. Dr. Tannis Shakya has been an associate and partner and an integral part of Spectrum Eyecare for the past 18 years. She has agreed to accept care of my patients and their vision needs going forward. She will have accessibility and custodial care of my records which will be available on site if needed. I am confident that she will receive your support as she continues to grow Spectrum Eyecare along with our wonderful staff.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your trust and friendship over the years, which have gone by far to quickly!

I wish the best for you and your families and hope that we cross paths again.

Sincerely,
