Our Staff
In Memory
DR. CAROLYN JARRETT
In Memory (1957-2020)
For almost 40 years, Dr. Carolyn Jarrett had been the trusted and beloved eye doctor to many of our patients. She was a leader and pioneer in the profession as the first Black female optometrist to graduate in Canada. It is with great sadness that we inform of Dr. Jarrett passing away after a long illness.
Her passion and life was dedicated to the wellbeing of her patients, as she had treated them as if they were old friends and family. Her compassion and her well known sense of humour, will be missed.
Dr. Jarrett’s existing associates will continue to take care of the patients in the practice with the same compassion and excellence in care.
