Growing up in Edmonton, Dr. Angshu Gurung always knew she wanted a career that would allow her to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. She began her studies at the University of Alberta, earning a Bachelor of Science degree with a focus in Biological Sciences and Psychology. She went on to earn her Doctor of Optometry degree from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts! During optometry school, Dr. Gurung gained experience caring for patients across a wide range of clinical settings. Her favourite externships were at Perkins School for the Blind and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where she developed a particular appreciation for providing thoughtful patient-centered care.

Dr. Gurung has special interests in dry eye management, myopia control, and soft contact lenses. She is also passionate about making eye care accessible for patients from diverse backgrounds and can provide comprehensive eye examinations in six languages: English, French, Gurung, Hindi, Nepali, and Spanish. 

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Gurung enjoys discovering new cafés around Edmonton and exploring the city's beautiful river valley trails with her pug, Zuko!
