Growing up in Orleans, Dr Bender was a regular patient of Dr Kwasnick’s.  It only seemed natural that after graduating from l’Université de Montréal in 2010, she should return to practice there.  Since then, she has been proud to offer her services to the community and loves being able to see all members of the same family, and watch them grow throughout the years. 

Dr. Ilic studied Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Saskatchewan and obtained a B.Sc. with High Honours in 2009. During her studies, she did research on antimicrobial resistance, molecular biology and genetics. After graduating, she studied melanoma and then focused on inflammatory responses in cystic fibrosis. 

Dr. Catherine Michon obtained her Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degree from the University of Montreal in 2009.
