The Exhuberant Dr. Monea

In this independent practice profile, Shan Khan, editor of Optik Magazine and contributor, showcases trailblazer Dr. Diana Monea, OD. Many may recognize her from her exuberant displays and outfits on her clinic’s Instagram, but we could not help but notice her dedication to community and her positive outlook in life.

Dr. Monea has been practicing in Western Canada since 1982, and she is the owner of three clinics – two in Calgary and one in Regina. In her over forty years in eye care, every decision she and her staff make revolves around one question: “How will this benefit the patient?” This question exemplifies her belief in the differences that quality care makes in a person’s life. Dr. Monea’s standard of care does not go unnoticed by her patients.

Dr. Monea’s many years in practice have certainly allowed her time to contemplate the core aspect of her business. But she argues this time of great uncertainty and change is an opportunity for small businesses, including many eye care providers, to develop their clientele, too.

Find out more about her in the June-July issue of Optik.
