Meet the Doctor
Optometrist & Founder
Rebecca Maida, O.D.
Rebecca Maida's name may sound familiar to many of you. Afterall, until six years ago she practiced optometry right here in Belmont with her mother Dr. Linda Bennett.
Here are a few facts you may not know.
When Dr. Maida graduated from Belmont High School, she had no idea that she would one day settle down in her home town and start up her own optometry practice. She went to the University of Michigan, where she studied education and met her future husband, Mark.
After graduating they returned to the Belmont area and she began to teach math at the then Chenery Middle School.
​​It was during this time that Dr. Maida realized her calling to follow her mother and grandfather into the field of optometry. After two years working as a teacher, she enrolled at the New England College of Optometry (NECO).
NECO helped her to discover that her love of teaching blended wonderfully with taking care of patients as she loves to educate people about their eyes.
​In 2008, Dr. Maida joined her mother at her Belmont practice. Their strong mother daughter bond and business partnership made for an amazing combination that led to the expansion of the practice with offices in Belmont and Arlington.
Dr. Maida lives in Belmont with her family which now includes her two teenage children and their dog, Blue. Dr. Maida is eager to get back to what she loves best about optometry; caring for her community with integrity and hands on customer service. She is excited to help the next generation of Belmont families (and old friends) to see!
