Alberta Health Services says a new ophthalmologist is now practicing in Grande Prairie.
Dr. Ruchi Saxena, who moved from the Netherlands to Grande Prairie back in April, is working out of the Crystal Clear Eye Care Clinic in addition to providing care at the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
“It’s great news to have Dr. Saxena join our community,” says Nolan Dyck, MLA for Grande Prairie. “Her expertise will help the lives of many people. We are fortunate to have another ophthalmologist to expand the excellent healthcare services available in our community.”
Ophthalmologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of eye-related conditions. Dr. Saxena becomes the fourth ophthalmologist practising in the city, and is able to diagnose and treat issues including cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes and retinal tears.
