About Me

I specialize in treating patients with eyelid disease, facial, eyelid or eye socket trauma, abnormal tearing of the eye, orbital/eye socket disease and Trichiasis (abnormally growing or misdirected lashes).

Growing up with a father who was a physician, I realized at a young age the impact I could have on people's lives as a doctor. I am dedicated to my patients and passionate about medicine.

  • Dr. Houle was amazing. She was thoughtful, kind, compassionate and skilled.
  • I think that Dr. Houle did very well, at least she knew what she was doing and answered any questions that I might have had. I liked her! The only thing I didn't like , was the fact that she couldn't do anything now for me, my eyelid was growing out and until it gets out to my eye more, there was nothing that she could do until my eyelid got to the point that it was covering some of my eye, more than it is now. It bothered me some that she couldn't, but I understood, with disappointment, she did the best that she could.
