We have been patients of Dr. Fares for several years and are shocked to hear of her passing. She seemed to be more "friend" than most doctors that we have met. She was very knowledgeable and her quick diagnosis saved the vision in my eye. Our sympathy is extended to all the family. Beverly and Fraser Cumming

Our sincere condolences go out to Dr. Fares husband, children, parents and family,
She has been our family eye doctor for over 15 years. She was always so caring and inquisitive to what was going on in her patients lives. She truly was an amazing woman and I will miss the chats we had about our children and what they were doing. May her family find peace in the love she had for them. She will be missed. May she rest in eternal peace.

When I read the email from the company today, I was shocked! And so saddened to hear the of Dr. Fares's passing. She and Anwar I consider friends, having received so many professional courtesies and kindnesses from them, as well as such competent services, over the past 20 years as their client. I remember fondly how Dr. Fares shared her mother's wonderful kibbehs with me one time when my treatment interrupted her lunch. Such a lovely person. I am so sad for you, Anwar, and for the rest of your family and her friends.

I just found out of Dr. Faten's passing away. I am so saddened and shocked. Dr. Fares was so caring, professional and just a kind human being. She took so good care of me, she was like a friend. She was my optometrist for many years and for my three children. I will truly miss her. My condolences to her family, her husband and children whom she talked about everytime I saw her. She will be truly missed and always in my hearth. Condolences to the family from myself, Claudia, Nicolas and Marc. May you rest in peace Dr. Fares.

It is with great sadness that we hear of this news. Dr. Fares has been our optometrist for eighteen years and has always provided outstanding care along with her warm personality. Dr. Fares always spoke highly of her family especially of her two children whom she was so proud of. Our sincerest condolences to her family. Dr. Fares will be greatly missed.

I was utterly shocked and so saddened to hear of Dr. Fares' sudden passing. Like many here, I was a patient of hers for as long as I can remember and she was always so kind, knowledgeable, and diligent in her work. She was the first medical provider to spot an issue for me that eventually ended up being diagnosed as MS. I'm so glad I got the chance to tell her this the last time we spoke. My thoughts are with her family during this undoubtedly difficult time
