Dr Godinho is like the eye-care equivalent of a jazz solo—unexpectedly brilliant, smooth, and totally in tune with your needs. I came in with vision that felt like a foggy windshield during a rainstorm, and he just calmly cleared it all up like he had a secret button for clarity. He’s got this laid-back confidence that makes you feel instantly at ease, and his attention to detail? Chef’s kiss. North Vancouver’s got a gem—my eyeballs are officially living their best life.
