A personal note from Pretty…

“Since taking over Edwards & Walker in 2015 with my husband Pete, we’ve worked hard to create an experience for our patients that’s truly special — something better than anything else you’ll find in Doncaster or the surrounding areas. I’m incredibly passionate about providing the very best in eye care, which is why I’m always looking to expand my knowledge and skills beyond the standard requirements. It’s also really important to me that Edwards & Walker remains fully independent and community-focused. I never want us to become just another faceless chain on the high street.

My passion for eye care started from personal experience and going through a traumatic time with my own vision when I was younger. I know first-hand how it feels to sit in that chair, not knowing what’s going to happen next, and that empathy drives everything I do today. Over the years, I’ve overcome so many challenges, but each one has only strengthened my resolve to make Edwards & Walker one of the best opticians in Doncaster — a place where patients feel genuinely cared for, and where they know they’ll always be welcomed back.

And to every patient who walks through our door — thank you. I’ll always appreciate you choosing us.
