Kim |Office Manager & Optometric Assistant

Kim is the office manager and is also married to Dr. David Thompson! Before she delved into optical she was in school to become an ECE for the developmental handicapped to help others with special needs. Over time she continued with her work in the office and her previous education allowed her to use those skills in the clinic! Along the way she received her optical education and started laying the foundation for the Dr. Thompson team in Nanaimo.
