CALGARY, Alberta—FYidoctors | Visique, an optometrist-owned eyecare company based here, announced that Dr. Viktor Kuraitis and his staff have joined the FYidoctors family. The Dr. Viktor A. Kuraitis, OD, clinic will continue to operate in the same location and to serve its patients with the same quality eyecare experience under the FYidoctors banner, the announcement noted. “Merging my clinic with a company that prides itself with the same values and ethics under which we operate played a major role in the decision,” Kuraitis said in the announcement.

“FYidoctors has made a name for themselves in the industry not only as a premier supplier of high-quality goods and services, but as a company that puts the health of their patients above all else,” he said.
