Here We Grow Again!

The practice of Dr. David Oliphant, located at 412 Grand Ave. East in Chatham, has welcomed Dr. Eric Chevalier as their newest associate. Dr. Chevalier has finished his studies at the University of Montreal with an award of excellence in ophthalmic optics, and will now be relocating to Ontario with his wife Dr. Erin Zimmerman.  Dr. Chevalier is a native of Montreal and is excited to be offering seniors in the area all optometric services in both French and English. “We are really thrilled that Dr. Chevalier has decided to join our team,” says Dr. David Oliphant. “We hold the care of our patients in the highest regard, and he fits that model perfectly. The fact that we can offer care in both French and English is a great addition, but Dr. Chevalier’s experience in new treatments for conditions like dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) will also enhance the level of care we can now offer.”

Dr. Chevalier has worked and trained in the U.S. and Canada. He has spent time with Drs. Dan & Hoffman of the Eye Centers of South Florida where he observed many advanced cataract surgeries and optical procedures, and also spent a year working at LasikMD Centre in Montreal while attending the University of Montreal.

“I am truly excited to be joining Dr. Oliphant and his team!” says Dr. Chevalier. “I wanted to find a team that really cared about offering the highest level of care to patients, in a state-of-the-art facility, and found everything I was looking for in one clinic.” In his search for an appropriate clinic, Dr. Chevalier searched out many of the clinic websites in the area and was drawn to Dr. Oliphant’s website.

One of Dr. Chevalier goals is to run more educational seminars for seniors in the area. The seminars will focus on how to detect the early stages of Diabetes and Glaucoma, two diseases that are very prevalent in the senior community.

Dr. Chevalier loves the outdoors and believes that living in this part of Ontario lends itself well to his hobbies outside of work. He is an avid cyclist and enjoys many water sports, canoeing in particular.

Dr. Oliphant and Dr. Chevalier welcome all area seniors to drop by the clinic located at 412 Grand Avenue East, in Chatham, Ontario.
