Dr. Martineau is fantastic, both with adults and with kids. I'd recommend her to any parent. Her equipment is great, and she and her staff take the time to explain the processes, and the results. She was recommended to me by my G.P., who is also her client, and now the whole family goes. Book now and early, because most appointments are one year in advance.
Dr. Martineau is one of the best, and my only slight issue is that the cost of glasses or lenses sold through her office; as another person commented previously, the costs are higher than you'd think, or like, for most of us who need to somewhat budget our money. Other than that, Dr. Martineau and her team are superb! (I just won't buy anything through them).
Dr. Martineau is caring, patient, and knowledgeable. She will take the time to explain things to her patients, and if you have problem with your eyes, you will most likely learn more about what is wrong than you have ever known before. She is the only optometrist I have met who was able to transition me properly into a new prescription of contacts after I had been greatly overprescribed elsewhere. Expect to be in her office for a long time, but if you need or want the quality of care she offers, it is well worth it(it is too bad that she has the most uncomfortable waiting room chairs I've ever sat on, however!). I have not paid for optometry services elsewhere, and after going to an opthalmologist where services were free, I found the prices to be a bit of a shock, though I have no idea how they compare to others in her field. I would simply recommend that you ask the cost of things up front, including any recommended tests, if money is an issue.
Dr. Martineau is a young-ish doctor and serves patients in both French and English. She is extremely thorough and takes her time when seeing you -- with all the tests an annual exam can take 2.5 hours or more! Her office seems well-equipped with all the latest technology and she seems very knowledgeable about new trends and advances. On the downside, her practice seems very business oriented. Even though there are signs in her office saying they have a fair pricing policy and welcome questions, she gets kind huffy when politely asked about what her extra fees cover. She always seems to be pushing new and more expensive kind of contact lenses on her patients and charges a $75 fee for "recommending" a lens and giving you a sample pair -- even though the manufacturers provide these samples free of charge. Her office claims contacts and glasses sold in the office's boutique are offered "at cost", but they don't tell you a "diagnostic fee" is hidden in the total.
