Bio

Sasha grew up living the farm life near the tiny village of Aneroid, SK where days were spent riding the “orange crush car” with her sisters, building forts and helping out wherever she could with farm work. Somehow outside of dancing, fastball, and combining, she knew she always wanted to be an optometrist. She landed a summer job with Optical Image out of high school, then carried on to 7 years of education, travelling and friends, leading to her Doctorate of Optometry from Indiana University in 2002.  After grad, she started working in South Carolina, and in 2003, her then fiancé Rej had a hockey career which led them to spend an incredible year trekking around Europe.  She cherishes her experiences and connections from the prairies to the Midwest USA, Guanajuato, Mexico, Montrose, NY, Europe and back. Their 3 kids now rule their world and they enjoy work, lake time and play time with their families close by.

In 2007, Optical Image was re-created under Dr. Godenir’s ownership.  Her experiences added eye exams, contact lens fittings, red eye and emergency treatments, ocular disease management, pediatric and binocular vision exams to the already wild and wonderful glasses line up.  

Today she continues to bring her best to Optical Image with an incredible circle of support from our families, friends, community and staff.  She continually challenges herself to think outside of the box, and to create and maintain a positive and outstanding culture in her business.  Dr. Godenir is always accepting new patients where you will be listened to and taken care of!

Listening carefully, making recommendations, prescribing treatments and assisting in helping each patients’ eyes live up to their potential has cultivated relationships. I love a challenge, I care, and I truly enjoy what I do!

I bet you didn't know that Dr. Block is...
