After a seemingly exhaustive search, Total Eye Care is very pleased to announce the arrival of our newest Optometrist, Dr. Derek Papegnies!
Derek Papegnies was born and raised on the farm just outside of Dunrea, Manitoba.
He graduated from Wawanesa High School in 1996, before receiving his Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba in 2000 and finally his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Waterloo in 2005. He joined Total Eye Care immediately after graduation.
Dr. Papegnies enjoys winter sports. He is an avid curler and also enjoys skating, skiing and the odd game of hockey. In the summertime you can find him operating machinery on the family farm.
Derek is very excited to return to Western Manitoba and looks forward to seeing everyone in the years to come. According to Dr. Len Rust, “Feedback from our patients is that Derek is taking great care of them! We are especially happy to have Derek here to help us!”
