Another pair of eyes at Querido & Davidson

Ian Warren set his sights high when he applied to join Querido & Davidson, a National Award Winning eye care practice in Heaton. Fortunately the Director of Querido & Davidson, Optometrist John Davidson, had worked with Ian in Newcastle city centre years ago and recalled Ian as an exceptional optician and contact lens practitioner. The two had always got on well and so John had no hesitation in appointing Ian as an additional optician at his newly refurbished practice on Chillingham Road, Newcastle. Now the two eye care professionals are delighted to be working together again after a gap of ten years. Ian, who lives in Durham, is a Fellow of the Association of British Dispensing Opticians and a contact lens practitioner. Along with Director John Davidson who is Chair of the North East Contact Lens Society, Ian’s addition to the team now makes Querido & Davidson one of the top contact lens specialist practices in the North East. Says Ian: "It’s good to be working in a busy, vibrant practice and I’m thoroughly enjoying meeting new clients and helping them with all their eye care needs from carrying out contact lens check ups to fitting the new bi-focal or multi-focal contact lenses that can replace reading glasses. It’s an efficient, modern, customer-focused environment here at Querido & Davidson, and of course it’s great to share some banter with John again, too.” John is equally pleased. "Ian is an excellent optician – thorough, knowledgeable, highly experienced and has an excellent manner with clients. He’s only been here a short time and lots of our customers are asking to see him already. We’re delighted that he’s joined us and we’re all looking forward to taking Querido & Davidson to the next level with his help.”
