I would characterize Dr. Germain as exceptionally well qualified in all aspects. She was taking place of Dr. DaSilva (on leave). I appreciated how well she knew my eye issues and could speak to the results of the tests that were done that day as well as how she carried out her examination. She also offered valuable suggestions as to how I might address discomforts related to my eye conditions. She is very professional, easy to speak with and highly knowledgeable. I would recommend her highly.

Always high energy and upbeat. Always answers all my questions and does a thorough exam. I never feel rushed, but I'm always in and out too. I'm sure it's helpful that my eyes are in stable condition, but I have faith in my provider to assess, address, and help with any eyecare issues I may have in the future!
