Meet Dr. Jenna Bender

Dr. Jenna Bender

Growing up in Orleans, Dr Bender was a regular patient of Dr Kwasnick’s.  It only seemed natural that after graduating from l’Université de Montréal in 2010, she should return to practice there.  Since then, she has been proud to offer her services to the community and loves being able to see all members of the same family, and watch them grow throughout the years. 

During her studies, Dr Bender participated in a humanitarian mission in Morocco, and an internship in Florida, where her patient base comprised mostly of retirees.  She used that experience to visit retirement homes during her first few years in practice, and offer eye exams to residents.  She is known for her thorough examinations, and her attentiveness and dedication to her patients.

She is grateful for the loyalty and trust that patients place in her, and is dedicated to providing the best care possible.  “We can not only detect ocular conditions, but systemic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and many others.  It’s a privilege to be able to monitor, educate and treat all this in our patients.”

In 2018, she took over the practice from Dr Kwasnick, and building on her predecessor’s successful formula, renovated the family friendly clinic to better serve their patients.  “Patients will still enjoy the personable service they’ve come to know and love, but in a new, larger, rejuvenated space.”  She looks forward to welcoming all generations to her new clinic.

Jenna lives in Orleans with her husband and daughter, and can be seen gracing the soccer, and gaelic football fields in her spare time.
