A letter from David

After more than 20 years of looking after this wonderful community, it's time for me to hang up my trial frame.

It’s been an incredible journey — I’ve had the privilege of caring for many families… some since the days when I still had hair! Saying goodbye is definitely bittersweet, but I am leaving you all in very good hands.

I first met Jess fresh out of uni, and Anna and Antonia not long after. I trained them with the same values that have always guided this practice — genuine care, thorough eye health, and treating every patient like family. These days, when I overhear them chatting with patients, they even sound like me (which is a bit freaky, but also quite comforting).

Truth be told, they are probably smarter than I am, and I know they will continue to provide the level of care you’ve come to expect. All your notes and history remain right here, so your care will continue seamlessly.

I am truly grateful for the trust you've placed in me over the years. Thank you for allowing me to look after your eyes — it has been an honour.

The team looks forward to seeing you soon.

Neilson Eyecare

As a Toowoomba local of 13 years and another 15 years before that in Cairns and Atherton, I think I can nearly call myself a Queenslander! Being born and raised in Sydney has made it possible for me to see the unique advantages of living in a regional city. Less traffic, and people who take the time to get to know you, are the hands down stand outs. It has also made me feel strongly about delivering a world class service to my patients.

I believe that everybody should be treated individually, with care and empathy. In my 30 years as an optometrist it has been my privilege to care for many many patients. Each one is unique and all of them teach me and challenge my knowledge in some way. Over the years I have found that if I aim to understand the cause of a problem I have a much greater ability to solve the symptoms.

One of my most important roles is to explain a patient's vision to them in plain language. In this way my patients and their family can understand what is going on and together we can work to reach a solution. I love it when my patients ask me questions!

Together with my wife Megan and our three school and university aged children I feel a strong connection to our community, enjoying the close relationships that our regional city provides.
