Optometrist likes what he
sees in Seaforth community
Jeff H e u c h e r t
As soon as he saw the place, Seaforth's new
optometrist knew he wanted to be here.
Devon Sanderson is taking over the practice
held by Louis LaPlante for the past 18 years
on Main Street.
Sanderon, 29, is used to the small communi-
ty lifestyle, after spending his early childhood
in Brussels.
He also is no stranger to harsh winters, hav-
ing lived in Whitehorse, Yukon, where he
attended high school, and Calgary, where he
attended the university for his undergradu-
ate in science.

SEAFORTH

Afterwards, Sanderson
graduated from the school
of optometry at the
University of Waterloo in
2000.
At the university, he
met his wife Angela, who's
currently working towards
becoming an optometrist
as well.
The two live in
Waterloo, but hope to
build a house in Seaforth
sometime in the spring,
with plans to start a fami-
ly.
"I'm a small community
guy," he says.
"I couldn't think of a
better place to start a fam-
ily,' he says of Seaforth.
Since graduating,
Sanderson has worked
across southwestern
Ontario as an "associate
optometrist," including
time at a laser clinic.
He admits he was a lit-
tle nervous about owning
his own practice.
"It's a big responsibility,
but I'm prepared," he says,
"I think it's rewarding to
reach out to a community."
Sanderson says
LaPlante heard he was
interested in buying his
own practice and contact-
ed him, months before the
purchase.
Over a series of conver-
sations, LaPlante made
sure .he was selling to a
competent individual, he
says.
Sanderson credits his
smooth transition into the
Devon Sanderson
office to LaPlante, saying he has been able to
contact LaPlante if he's had any questions,
most notably with patients who might have a
complicated history.
Sanderson adds that he's still getting his
feet wet as to the business side of the practice,
but that he has had great help from long-time
assistant Katie Teall, and receptionist Ruth
Carter.
Sanderson says he probably would not have
been prepared to run his own practice directly
out of school, and that he has benefitted from
his years working in larger cities.
He says in a community such as Seaforth,
where there is a high number of seniors, hav-
ing seen a wide range of patients with a wide
range of problems in the city, will work to his
advantage.
"My big goal is to reach out and try to mini-
mize preventable vision loss," he says.
Sanderson looks forward. to the day when
his kids are involved with local sports here in
Seaforth, and when maybe even he gets to
enjoy playing some sports himself, if he finds
the time.
He says he understands a small town wants
a doctor that cares, and hopes the community
finds that he does.
Sanderson says there's a joke among doctors
that says, once you've bought into a practice,
it's like getting married to it.
"And being married to Seaforth is a pretty
good deal."
