Dr. Maria Georgatos, O.D.
After graduating with Honours from Queen’s University with her Bachelor of Science, Dr. Maria Georgatos pursued her dream of becoming an Optometrist at the New England College of Optometry in Boston, MA.
Dr. Georgatos has completed externships at various hospitals and community centres in both the US and Canada including, most impressively, the renowned Bascom Palmer in Miami, Florida. While concurrently treating and managing complex diseases of the paediatric population, she was also involved in cutting edge research in amblyopia treatment.
Dr. Georgatos has been practicing Optometry passionately since 2005 and her experience is vast in all areas of Optometry. She enjoys primary care and working with all populations and ages. She prides herself on creating a very memorable experience for the patients in her care.
Dr. Georgatos is a member of the Ontario College of Optometrists, Member of the Ontario association of Optometrists and completes extensive continuing education in the US and Canada, thus broadening her knowledge in the ever-changing and exciting field of Optometry.

Dr. Akemi Motomura, O.D.
Dr. Akemi Motomura received her Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Guelph, and then went on to complete her Doctor of Optometry degree at the University of Waterloo. During her final year of optometry school, she completed internships that allowed her to gain experience in primary care, ocular disease, pediatrics, contact lenses, binocular vision/vision therapy and low vision.
Dr. Motomura enjoys seeing patients of all ages and dabbles in all areas of optometry, but has a special interest in myopia management. She wishes that myopia management was more widely available when she was growing up, but she is excited to be part of trying to slow down the myopia ‘epidemic’ that is occurring worldwide. Dr. Motomura hopes to spread the message that myopia management is not only to prevent thick and expensive glasses, but most importantly to decrease the risk of potential serious eye conditions in patients when they grow up.
Dr. Motomura is a member of the Ontario Association of Optometrists, Canadian Association of Optometrists and the College of Optometrists of Ontario.
In her spare time, Dr. Motomura enjoys baking everything from cookies to bread to pies. She also loves spending time with her family, friends and her family greyhounds, Darcy and Ellie.
