"Our eyes are precious to all of us. After surgery, feedback from patients having had refractive or cataract treatment is inspiring. That reward gives me energy to continue to aim for perfection every time."

Staff Feature – Surgeon Dr. Rob Semeniuk
His focus is on Community
 “I grew up in small towns, including Kelowna back when it was small. I always knew during residency at the University of British Columbia, that I wanted to be a "community" Ophthalmologist. I enjoy helping out in my own community with charities and eye health care.
I first met Dr. Chambers during our training together at UBC. We share a similar philosophy on patient care - get to know your patients and treat them with respect.
I attend the Canadian and American Society of Cataract and refractive Surgery meetings yearly to keep up with latest surgical techniques and technology. I have been part of the Kelowna Laser Vision team for almost two years now. They continue to show an excellent ability to get to know people and what their individual needs are. This is clearly conveyed to me preoperatively including the patient’s fears, their choice of prk vs lasik and monovision or not. I enjoy getting to know and treat patients that are fully educated, reassured and cared for throughout their time at KLV. The post operative communications from Dr. Casey to me is great and ensures we are meeting our expectations.
Our eyes are precious to all of us. After surgery, feedback from patients having had refractive or cataract treatment is inspiring. That reward gives me energy to continue to aim for perfection every time.
My personal interests are spending as much of my time with my wife and two children as possible. I don't want to miss anything. I also love mountain biking. I value my own quality of vision, this is important when riding fast, challenging trails. I have not required laser surgery but do have "natural" monovision.””
