"Staff was friendly but felt because of my age cataract surgery is easy money. Turns out with my second opinion I had no cataract so all that time and money spent my vision would be no better. Glad I went somewhere else."

"Dr. Samantha Schneider Johnson and Dr. Mark Schneider: I just found an article in AARP AARP November 2023 magazine article: “University of Washington study found that at-risk adults who received hearing aids showed thinking and memory losses that were 48% slower compared with those who didn’t .Another study found that those who had CATARACT SURGERY had a 29% lower risk for dementia compared with those who did not have the procedure. Treating poor vision could have prevented 100,000 current causes of dementia in the US according to a 2021 study. “ (see photo below) In my opinion, I think anyone who is wearing contacts or glasses should go ahead and get the Panoptics RLE MULTIFOCAL lens and never have to deal with handling daily contact lenses(I don’t want to put my fingers in my eyes) or wearing glasses (blocking your nasal passages when they slip down your nose) and you don’t have to have to NEED cataract surgery to get this done. I didn’t have cataracts I just wanted a better quality of life with BOTH OF MY EYES MULTI- FOCAL seeing 20/20 WITHOUT GLASSES so I got it done early and I am THRILLED. Panoptix RLE is so worth it. My eyes, brain and sinuses THANK YOU!"

"I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this place. Ever since Dr. Mark Schneider left it has not been the same. Dr. Samantha Schneider-Johnson, his daughter, took over the practice, but Nancy seems to think she is the doctor and makes all the decisions. I awoke during my cataract surgery on my right eye (with Dr. Mark Schneider) and was evaluated for my left by his daughter. The doctor said no problem but as soon as my insurance would not pay for it, I would be paying cash, they cancelled my appts without telling me and told me I needed an anesthesiologist at a hospital to get the surgery. Dr. Samantha Schneider-Johnson would have said that when I had an evaluation earlier, but she didn't. It was all an excuse to not see me because I asked them to write a letter to my insurance company to try to recoup some of the cash it would have cost me back. They outright refused. Please. Think twice before you go here. They don't return calls. They're rude but basically, they are about the money not your eyesight."

"Man I'm very happy with the staff here. Originally my moms appoint for cataract surgery was cancelled and rescheduled at the last minute and I got weary of the facility. But, they have been nothing less than great for taking care of my mom, and tending to her special needs. They're caring and a special thanks to Dr Eldridge for performing the surgery and putting up with my mom. She and I both are grateful this place and the people here exist! Thank You!!"

"Customer for over 20 years…this place of business has been on a downhill spiral for a few years now. No customer service whatsoever…they list their way. Use to be top notch optical care now you might as well go to the cheapest place you can find because you get the same service….NONE! This organization takes no pride with regard to customer satisfaction. They don’t return phone calls. Their optical department has poor selection as compared to the past. Time to find a new vision care and surgery center. Dr. Schneider is no longer doing surgery either☹️"
