My daughter and I have been privileged to be a patient of Dr. Sarah Hutchens since 2016. Dr. Hutchens is very professional, caring and personable towards all her patients.The staff at The Vision Development Centre and Dr. Hutchens treat you with the very best care, they explain everything well and offer advice for taking care of all your eye care needs. My daughter began Vision Therapy with Dr. Hutchens in 2017 and with all of us working together my daughter showed big improvements in her reading and writing skills as her eyes were now working better together. Her spatial perception greatly improved but most importantly her self confidence and motivation to learn had been boosted due to her work in Vision Therapy. When friends, family and parents of my students ask me 'Who would I recommend for their eye care?' It is an easy answer for me, Dr. Sarah Hutchens and the staff at The Vision Development Centre. They are wonderful!With gratitude,Colleen Galgay

We visited Dr . Hutchens this summer with our 18 month old due to a turn in her eye. Not only was Dr Hutchens very professional and knowledgeable she was kind, patient, and great with our daughter. She took her time and explained all her assessments and what we could expect.She was extremely thorough and ensured we knew exactly what was happening all while juggling completing assessments on a very busy baby.We felt welcomed, heard, and listened to, and have a thorough planned developed.We had such a positive experience with Dr Hutchens and I would highly recommend her to anyone and especially for children. We are thankful she will be caring for our children’s vision now and into the future.

Dr Hutchens and the team at Vision Development Centre are so wonderful. Both my kids love going there and I know they're eye health is in excellent hands.

Dr. Hutchens is fantastic! She has been monitoring my daughters vision for over a year now.I went to Dr. Hutchens as a second opinion for my daughters vision needs and due to her knowledge, kindness and determination to provide my daughter with the best vision care, I have decided she will be the Doctor to monitor my daughters vision going forward.She is extremely thorough. I felt completely at ease with Dr. Hutchens and thankful she will be caring for both of my children's vision needs now and in the future.

Both of my kids started seeing Dr. Hutchens at 8 months old. She has an incredible way of connecting with children, and has fun and creative ways of keeping their attention throughout the check up. She is thorough, knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions (especially from new parents who worry about everything!). Not to mention her clinic is bright, clean and modern and the staff are excellent! Highly recommend!

Dr. Sarah Hutchens is the most professional, caring Doctor around and has terrific bedside manner. She cares about the health of your eyes and takes time to explain things in detail. She cares about her patients and is truly genuine. She has been my eye doctor for many years and I have followed her around the city wherever she would land her profession. The only words I can say about her is that she is amazing and awesome. Her staff are exceptional as well. You feel at home from the time you arrive at the office until you leave.

Dr Hutchens is beyond great. I have been seeing her for years and now I take my daughter to see her too (3 yo). She is wonderful with kids and has so many great ways to keep little ones engaged and happy during their exam. 10/10 recommend, especially if you’re looking for a great eye doctor for kids.
