RETIREMENT OF MR HAMISH REID
After a long and distinguished career, Hamish Reid retired in April 2010 after 38 years with Kilgour Optometrists. He has made an immense contribution to developing local optometric services in Ayrshire and dedicated his career to providing the highest level of care for his many loyal patients.
We wish him a long and happy retirement.
It is always a thought to change to a new practitioner after the continuity provided by the same optometrist. We do however, work very much as a team and Mr Reid’s colleagues will endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible.
EXTENDED HOURS IN TROON
To accommodate patients seeking early morning appointments in Troon, the practice can now offer appointments starting at 8.35 am Mon - Fri. The practice will now be open at 8.30 am.
