Our Practice in Winnipeg

Dr. Driedger was raised in Manitoba but educated in Tennessee. A southern belle at heart, she has a knack for treating her patients like family.

Dr. Driedger is a certified “eye-nerd” and relishes the opportunity to collect anything eye related. She has an eye for style and will happily show you her collection of fashionable eyewear. In optometry school, Dr. Driedger was voted “most likely to have a pink office” and loves the fact that her classmates’ predictions came true when she opened View Pointe in 2019.

Outside of work, Dr. Driedger is a proud dog-mama to Bella. She is an avid traveler that lives for stamps in her passport, Starbucks mugs in her cupboard and happy patients in her chair. Dr. Driedger is currently accepting new patients age 10+.

Dr. Dhaliwal earned his undergraduate education at the University of Winnipeg before completing his Doctor of Optometry degree at Indiana University in 2025. He gained valuable experience doing his clinical rotations in ocular disease and primary care at the Cataract & Laser Institute of Indiana and the Indiana Eye Care Center. Inspired to become an optometrist as early as high school, he has been immersed in the optical industry ever since, gaining hands-on experience and a deep passion for eye care.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Dhaliwal is a twin with a lifelong love for music. He enjoys singing, creating music and recently co-founded a record label, blending creativity with entrepreneurship. In his free time, he loves playing and watching soccer.

Dr. Dhaliwal is proud to offer eye care in English, Punjabi, Hindi & Urdu. He is currently accepting new patients of all ages!

Preeya studied science at the University of Winnipeg and is closely connected to the world of optometry with her partner who is an optometrist and an aunt who is an optician. Currently, she’s also in the exciting (and busy) phase of planning her wedding.

An avid reader, she loves diving into thriller and romance novels and has a soft spot for dogs of all kinds. Traveling is one of her greatest joys, with Hawaii holding a special place as her favourite destination. Quiet at first, she’s known by those who know her well as one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet. A true Gen Z at heart, she’s always up to date on the latest social media trends and digital culture.

Preeya is happy to help you with your eye care and eyewear needs in both English & Punjabi.

Sally is enjoying semi-retirement, but also loves spending time at View Pointe where she is affectionately known as “office mom”. She takes care of the behind-the-scenes accounting and administration and happily helps wherever she is needed.

Outside of work, Sally is a proud wife and the mom of Dr. Driedger. She loves spending time with her fur-grand-baby, Bella and cheering on the Jets (even when they are losing). Sally loves to garden; she has the greenest thumb you will ever meet. She loves going for long walks and is happiest under a palm tree listening to the ocean breeze.

Sue is our licensed optician on staff. Although new to View Pointe, she is no stranger to optical, having worked in the industry since 1989 and being a licensed optician since 2015. Sue is an avid outdoors-adventurer. She is happiest when in nature and loves all the outdoor activities including biking, hiking, kayaking and enjoying a bonfire. Sue is a wife, a mom, a grandma and a fur mom and she loves spending time with her grandkids, especially getting to pick them up from school! Sue is a master glasses adjuster and repair artist! She’s up for any glasses challenge you may have. She has worked with Dr. Driedger in the past and is excited to bring her skills to View Pointe and to help you with all your eyeglass needs.

Riane began her journey in the optical industry in 2022 and continued to grow her passion by starting school for her opticians’ license in 2023. She loves helping people find the perfect frame that feels uniquely “them” and is always excited to learn something new.

Riane is known by her coworkers as one of the most positive people they’ve ever met. She will always greet you with a warm smile and genuinely has a zest for seeing the sunny side of life.

Outside of work, Riane enjoys travelling whenever she can, noting Europe holds a special place in her heart, spending quality time with her family and enjoying cozy afternoon snuggles with her cat, Hashbrown.
