As the due date draws a lot nearer, we wanted to let everyone know that the excellent patient care will continue as usual at CVO while Tui is away on maternity leave.
As she said on Radio Wanaka last week.. “I would never do something as selfish as having a baby without making sure my patients were well taken care of!!”
For a start, we have our wonderful permanent part-time optometrist Katie. She has been working with us for almost a year now and people are getting to know Katie as being very friendly, and very thorough. She has her own loyal patients now, and people love seeing her.
To cover the extra days we have scoured the country for the best optometrists we could find and we actually have a couple of very skilled, very lovely people coming in to take care of my patients. One of them is actually more qualified than us regular optometrists in that he has glaucoma co-management rights, so people would be wise to come in while i’m away and take advantage of his (and his prodigy)’s wealth of knowledge and experience.
According to Tui, “I can honestly say that our patient’s are going to be so well looked after while I’m away that I fear no one will even notice I’m gone! ”
And of course everyone knows our Jan and Lisa, who will keep everyone in line and very well looked after.
Tui also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has popped in to see how she’s going – we will keep you posted on the arrival of the newest Homer to the clan!
