Dr. Grant Goods grew up in Toronto and graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1980. Upon graduation, he moved to B.C. with his wife and founded Summerland Optometry. There were several steps along the way, but the time and dedication allowed the practice to expand into its present location in 2012.
Dr. Grant Goods is married with three children, one of them being Dr. Kimberley Goods. Grant was a volunteer head soccer coach for eleven years with COYSA, coaching his sons’ soccer teams. He enjoys outdoor recreation including camping, fishing, boating, playing hockey and snowboarding.
Dr. Grant Goods is semi-retiring and moving into a support role at Summerland Optometry. Dr. Goods will have limited exam availability but he will be there for his patients who have ongoing problems or need special therapies. Dr. Goods is thrilled to be able to transfer his patients to Dr. Amber Jeannotte and who will join the practice in April 2021.
