MORGAN CREEK OPTOMETRY - Key Persons

Dr. Amar Bains was born and raised in Surrey, BC. He attended The University of Bradford in England, where he earned his Optometry degree in 2015. Dr. Bains had the pleasure of working in London UK and its surrounding cities upon completion of his Optometry degree. He is really grateful for his time in the UK as he was able to work alongside many experienced optometrists and ophthalmologists, which allowed him to build his knowledge in all aspects of optometric practice. Through this opportunity, he developed a keen interest in ocular disease, in which he received the designation to co-manage patients alongside ophthalmologists in the UK. He eventually made the move back to Canada, earning his Canadian Optometric designation at the University of Waterloo in 2020. In his free time, Dr. Bains enjoys traveling, playing sports, watching movies, and spending quality time with his wife and kids.

Dr. Sexsmith received her Bachelor of Science with Honours and her Doctor of Optometry from the University of Waterloo. Before creating Shaughnessy Optometry in 2006, Dr. Sexsmith worked at West 10th Eyes for 8 years and Broadway Eyecare for 4 years. In 2009, she qualified for Ocular Therapeutics and finished the advanced course of Oral Therapeutics in 2017. She has an interest in working with dry eye patients. She feels very blessed to have a job she enjoys every day. The opportunity to solve problems for her patients makes every day a good one and proves that optometry really is the perfect fit for Dr. Sexsmith.

Dr. Selinger began her career as an ICU and then operating room nurse. She spent several years at Regina General Hospital (Saskatchewan) as the head nurse of Neurosurgery and later transferred to the head nurse position of Eyes Ears, Nose and Throat surgery. After 10 years of nursing Dr. Selinger and her family moved to Hillsboro, Oregon where she completed her BSC and Doctor of Optometry degree at Pacific University. It was a great adventure for her family. Dr. Selinger was one of a few students in her class that had brought her husband and young family to enjoy Oregon as she worked to get her degrees. Dr. Selinger did her Optometric Internship at the Oak Harbor Naval Air Station in Washington State. She currently holds a license as an Optometric Physician in that state. Upon graduation she and her family returned to her home town of Vancouver, BC where she worked as an associate for the next 10 years in the Fraser Valley. In 2004 Dr. Selinger opened her own Optometric practice in the rapidly growing area of South Surrey. She is the sole Optometrist at this location and is looking forward to expanding with a new associate in the coming year. Dr. Selinger enjoys gardening, swimming and travelling. Her family of three children keep her constantly engaged in what is new and up coming.
