​MEET OUR DOCTORS AND STAFF

                       Derek S. Maroun, O.D.

Dr. Derek Maroun has called the Charleston area home for more than 15 years.  Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, he completed his Bachelors of Science degree in both Biology and Chemistry at Dalhousie University. 

Wanting to utilize his knowledge further, he looked to the health sciences to contribute to society the best way he knew how.  Realizing how complex and vital sight is to humans, he quickly chose the vision sciences and Optometry as his life's work.  He graduated from The New England College of Optometry, in Boston, with Honors and several awards. 

From there he wanted to study ocular disease states further and enrolled in a Residency program at The Pennsylvania College of Optometry that specialized in ocular disease diagnosis and management. Now he brings these skills to serve the community surrounding Freshfields Village.  

When Dr. Maroun is not in clinic, he can be found sharing his life with his wife Courtney, Bean and Burt; as well as messing with classic cars, surfing and  paddle boarding, boating and fishing.
