MISSISSAUGA, Ontario—FYidoctors, a leading optometrist-owned eyecare company, has announced that Dr. Michael Banducci & Associates, a one-office practice located here, has joined the FYidoctors family. Located in downtown Mississauga, the Banducci & Associates’ clinic has been serving both the Mississauga community and neighboring municipalities of Etobicoke, Brampton and Oakville for more than 14 years. Dr. Michael Banducci, Dr. Gary Kogon and their staff will continue to provide comprehensive optometric services from their current location under the FYidoctors banner.

“We have always believed that listening to your patients’ concerns and taking the time to understand their complete history is the way in which eyecare should be approached,” Banducci said in the announcement. “Our decision to join the FYidoctors family was due to the fact that they share the same value for that comprehensive approach and will offer both us and our patients benefits which are of great value.”

Under the FYidoctors banner, Dr. Michael Banducci & Associates are now in position to utilize the FYidoctors’ ophthalmic laboratory in Delta, British Columbia, where patients and customers can create custom glasses to meet their needs.

“I am particularly excited about Dr. Banducci joining our company,” FYidoctors chairman and chief executive Dr. Alan Ulsifer said in the announcement. “It was over 10 years ago when I visited him and told him the FYidoctors story. We were just starting our company. We have both watched each other grow and evolve over the years and I am proud to have his Mississauga team join our company after all of these years. They will be an amazing addition to our team.”

FYidoctors said it is the world’s largest doctor-owned provider of ophthalmic products and services, with more than 450 optometrists servicing over 175 locations.
