Dominique Cote-Assaf
Optometrist
Originally from Montreal, Canada, Dominique grew-up shadowing her father in his optical dispensing practice. Assisting her father in the office and with patients, developed her interest in providing quality eyecare services to patients early on.Â
Having grown-up in a multicultural environment, Dominique is fluent in English, French and Spanish. She can also manage to understand some Arabic, Italian and Portuguese!
Dominique decided to follow her father’s footsteps and completed her double-degree in Optical Dispensing and Sciences at Edouard-Montpetit College.
She then completed two years of Bachelor of Science, majoring in Exercise Science, which led to her reaffirming her passion for sports and outdoor activities. Shortly thereafter, Dominique took a big leap of faith and moved to Geelong on her own to complete her Bachelor of Vision Science and Master of Optometry at Deakin University. Soon after moving across to Perth for clinical placements, she developed a special interest in paediatric optometry, and myopia control.
Dominique recently completed a post-graduate Advanced Certificate in Children’s Vision through the Australian College of Optometry. She is also therapeutically endorsed, and a member of Optometry Australia, the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists, and the Cornea and Contact Lens Society of Australia.
In her spare time, you will find Dominique at the beach snorkeling, free-diving or scuba-diving in the ocean!
