Meet Dr. Jill Trotter, a seasoned optometrist with a passion for eyecare that spans over three decades. Originally from Windsor, Ontario, she ventured west for a swimming scholarship at Simon Fraser University. After completing her optometry degree at the University of Waterloo, Dr. Trotter returned to Maple Ridge in 1989, becoming a cornerstone of Pacific Eye Doctors.
Beyond her thriving practice, Dr. Trotter has blended her love for travel with a commitment to volunteer work. She's participated in eye care missions to Guyana, South America, Jamaica, and Punjab, India, embodying her dedication to providing care where it's needed most. In her 34 years as an eye care specialist, she remains invigorated by the privilege of guiding patients through their unique eye care journeys.
Dr. Trotter's enthusiasm extends to her favourite specialty—ocular pathology. Collaborating with fellow optometrists and ophthalmologists, she continually seeks opportunities to learn and grow as a practitioner. Outside the office, Dr. Trotter finds joy in spending time with her wife and wonderful friends and family as well as being a cat mom to the mischievous Poppy. An avid cyclist, swimmer, and lover of the great outdoors, her weekends are often spent camping throughout BC, Washington, and Oregon.
