Dr. Steven St. Marie
Dr. St. Marie attended St. Michael’s College for his undergraduate training before earning his Doctorate of Optometry in 1994 from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (now named Salus University) in Philadelphia where he received citations of excellence in Pediatric Eye Care and Low Vision. That same year, he joined Dr. Walter Johnson and Dr. Carl Whitehouse at Optometric Associates in St. Albans, Vt. He also worked part-time at a satellite office in Rouses Point, NY for seven years.
In 2004, Dr. St. Marie acquired the practice from Dr. Whitehouse and changed its name to Northern Valley Eye Care. In 2015, Dr. St. Marie relocated the practice to its current and greatly expanded facility at 128 Fisher Pond Road.
Active in both community and professional organizations, he is the past President of the St. Albans Rotary Club and the Vermont Optometric Association.
Dr. St. Marie is married to Tami and they have two children.
