Sources & verification

Editorial note: Verified across Wikipedia, Alberta.ca (Order of Excellence), Order of Canada, U of Calgary. FLAG: Dr. Gimbel (b. Jan 1934, age 92) is the founder and still listed as a current doctor/Clinical Professor and accepting patients per Sharecare, but day-to-day refractive surgery is now performed largely by the associate surgeons (Muzychuk / van Westenbrugge / Warrian / Sauer). Treat Gimbel as the eponymous principal/figurehead rather than the routine operating surgeon. Founder photo URL validated (Gimbel doctors page, image/webp). Associate surgeons corroborated on Gimbel doctors page but not in external authority directories (verified=false).
