Established in 1970
We originally came to be as Gropp Optics, founded in 1970 by Dr. John Gropp. After 16 years in the original location, Gropp Optics moved into its new location in 1986. Our practice has been located there ever since.
PASSING THE TORCH
In 2012, Dr. Gropp retired, passing the practice on to its current owner, Dr. Naeem Abdulla. Like Dr. Gropp, Dr. Abdulla has a strong passion for eye care and a genuine love of people.
Dr. Abdulla changed our name to Summerhill Optometry, a reflection of the community we reside in and the people we serve.
If you’re lucky, you may catch Dr. Gropp stopping by - he regularly consults on new frame selections and technologies.
2014 BRINGS A NEW LOOK!
In the fall of 2014, we completely renovated our practice. We’ve made space to accommodate updated technologies and machines for comprehensive eye examinations, and we’ve given ourselves a modern look with clean lines to best showcase our wide selection of glasses and sunglasses in the Eye Wear Boutique. Come check out our new look!
OD
Dr. Abdulla purchased Summerhill Optometry from its original owner and founder, Dr. John Gropp, in 2012. In the almost-five years since, Dr. Abdulla has continued Summerhill’s mission of superior service, exceptional eyewear, and a welcoming environment for everyone.
Dr. Abdulla is from St. Catherines and has travelled and worked all over North America.
Dr. Abdulla graduated from Queen’s University in 1997, going on to graduate from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2003.
After his graduation, he founded a family-focused Optometry practice in Sante Fe, New Mexico, where he worked with a diverse group of patients over the course of five years.
In 2008, he returned to Canada where we continued to practice Optometry working in both Optometry and Ophthalmology clinics.
