Dr. Fred H. Cho
Dr. Cho earned his Honours Bachelor of Medical Sciences degree from Western University. He went on to receive his Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Waterloo. He took a special interest in ocular disease with his training at various ophthalmology institutions in Mobile, Alabama, under the tutelage of ophthalmologists specializing in retina disease, cornea, neuro-ophthalmology, and oculoplastics.
His interactions with his own optometrist while growing up set him on a path to optometry. His aspirations were emboldened when he participated on a mission trip to Chiapa de Corzo, Mexico, where he and other optometry students provided eye care to people with limited access to healthcare. Such experiences instilled in him a profound belief in transparency and patient-centered care. He also strives for thorough patient education, which empowers people to make well-informed decisions regarding their ocular health.
Dr. Cho is committed to providing comprehensive eye care. His professional memberships include the Canadian Association of Optometrists, the College of Optometrists of Ontario, and the Ontario Association of Optometrists.
In his spare time, Dr. Cho enjoys running, mentoring youth, and spending time with his dog. He is fluent in English and Korean.
