OPTOMETRIST

DR. MELISSA GROENEWEG

Melissa was born and raised in Fort Macleod, Alberta. She grew up on her parents’ farm just north of Fort Macleod and enjoyed being very involved in local and regional 4-H programs throughout her school years. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Lethbridge, and later went on to continue her education at Western University of Health Sciences in Southern California where she earned her Doctor of Optometry. Dr. Groeneweg completed four outstanding externships in her 4th year as an optometry student. She was able to experience a vision therapy practice at Focus Vision Therapy in Meridian, Idaho, was exposed to a wide range of ocular disease and surgeries at The Eye Institute of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, experienced a highly medically-based private practice at the Cheyenne Vision Clinic in Cheyenne, Wyoming and at Image Optometry in Vancouver, BC. When she is not in the office, Dr. Groeneweg enjoys spending time on the farm, volunteering with local organizations, and enjoying the outdoors.

PATIENT CARE COORDINATOR

EMMA

I have always felt a little bit country and a little bit city. Most because growing up in a small town had me dreaming and drew me to the city lights. Which is where I discovered a genuine interest in many things and found my life goal was to never stop learning. But it was my passion for art that led me to an Interior Design education with a background in social science. Those same goals and passions are what drew me to Optical Studio where I am excited to be a part of this vibrant team and to help people on the daily. On top of that, I find myself falling in love with the small-town life again as you’ll see me mostly at the Fort Macleod location.
