Is there a business you’ve been visiting for many years? A place where the staff is familiar to you, where you feel a little bit like home when you pass through the door? For a number of patients at the IRIS Sorel-Tracy store, that’s the case!
That’s exactly the case for Marie-Michelle Rivard, co-owner optometrist, whose parents were already patients of the store during her childhood. Only two years after throwing her cap as high as possible at her graduation from Université de Montréal, she decided to embark on the great project of becoming an owner optometrist in 2015.
The store having opened its doors over 30 years ago, Marie-Michelle was fortunate to join an experienced team of the twelve employees of the clinic, four have been working there for now over 20 years! Johanne Paul-Hus (39 years), Sylvie Gauthier (41 years), Michel Falardeau (25 years) and Nicole Vachon (20 years). The team is a real family. They gather together each year for various activities, like a visit of the Bouch-Art winery in 2018 and a corn roast last summer.
Las year, the innovation, the devotion towards their patients and the quality of the care, services and products offered by IRIS Sorel-Tracy stood out among a myriad of businesses It earned the title of great recipient of the Sorel-Tracy Economic Merit Gala!
Nothing surprising when we know that as well as providing an excellent service, the store ensures to stay at the cutting edge of technology for example, their new flavor of the year is their Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine, which is used for medical imagery and allows to explore and analyze the anterior or posterior segment of the eye with a precision reaching the micrometer in order to detect eye diseases. The clinic also includes a lens edging and mounting laboratory in situ, allowing it to offer a fast and effective service.
In 2020, if you are looking for professionals to care for your eyes, don’t hesitate to visit the IRIS Sorel-Tracy store. As Marie-Michelle phrases it so well:
“Thanks to our amazing team, our clinic inspires respect and trust and we are proud of it If you already step a foot here, you know it… If you never visited us, well give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!”
