Our Optometry Practice
in Kelowna

Sunil grew up in Kamloops and then completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Waterloo.

This led him to London, England, where he completed his optometry degree and gained experience at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital. After enjoying travelling around Europe with his wife, the two decided to make the move back to Canada and settle in the Okanagan. Sunil enjoys managing many eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. In his spare time, he enjoys working out and travelling.

In 2010, six optometry graduates embarked on an unforgettable journey to Calcutta, India, to provide eye care services. They rode on rickshaws and crossed lakes to reach remote communities, providing eye exams and glasses. Dr. Parekh was proud to be a part of this mission and plans to do it again one day.

Carol Ann is the glue that holds us together. Hailing from Nova Scotia, she brings many years of administrative skills to our practice. She has helped transform our clinic from paper to paperless and helped develop systems to make the practice run smoother.

Special Secret: She’s a coffee snob and is always up for a road trip.

Ewelina comes to us from Winnipeg and brings many business management talents. After establishing and selling their business, they decided to relocate to the Okanagan to enjoy the scenery and skiing. With a passion for Optometry, Ewelina has mastered all of the pre-testing equipment and more.

Special Secret: She used to be a cheerleader for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and loves donuts.

Jen is a local girl from Oyama. She has extensive experience in the Optical industry and has worked with many companies, small and large. She brings many managerial skills with her to implement here at Rutland Optometry.
