Kenneth E Sweeney, OD

The BEST eye doc in the world! I have been going to Dr. Sweeney for 18 years and would never go anywhere else. My 5 year old sees Dr. Gong in the same office and she is wonderful too. The office staff is friendly and kind. Dr. Sweeney is patient, knowledgeable, and makes you feel comfortable. I would give 10 stars, but it wasn’t an option!

Dr. Sweeney has been my eye doctor for the last two years and I think he is great. He takes his time and explains everything thoroughly. My problem is with the office staff. I have been experiencing vision problems and headaches and was told by my regular doctor to have my eyes checked immediately. I called in October and the soonest they could get me in was January. The office staff did not seem too concerned. No trying to accommodate or work me in. So, I called another eye doctor in Los Gatos and was seen within the week.

Dr Sweeney and his staff are outstanding! My husband and I have been going to him for four years — and we drive 45 minutes each way to see him. He is very thorough, takes his time to explain things to you and is so friendly.
His office staff is extremely friendly and professional — they always take great care of you and they know their stuff! You never are in question of what your bill will be — they disclose everything.
They all deserve 5 stars because of their service, attitudes and amazing way of taking care of their patients!

Top Doc! He will get your Rx correct. He looked at (with his own eyes — not a machine) a pair of glasses I had made at Costco (using his Rx) and he could tell they didn’t make them correctly. He then put them on a machine and confirmed they were not correct. Costco said they would redo them.
He also caught an growth in my father-​in-​laws eye that no one knew he had.
He is a little pricey but your eyesight isn’t something to cheap out on unless its not important. ;-)

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sweeney for the past 15 years and thought we only see each other once or twice a year, we’ve developed much more than a patient/​doctor relationship. He cares about my well being, holistically, as well as my family. We’ve watched our boys grow up together, and all the while, he has given my eyes the best care. Dr. Sweeney and Dr. Gong are the best at what they do. Cannot give anyone a higher recommendation.

My review is based off of my first visit to Dr. Sweeney. I work during the day so it is always hard to set appointments to minimize time to take off from work. He is very popular and hard to get an appointment with, but since I have no vision problems and this was a routine exam, i didn’t mind the wait. Plus, on wednesday the office hours are extended to accomodate later appointments which is a big plus for working folks! I am very impressed with Dr. Sweeney. He gave me a very thorough eye exam, more than I have gotten in the past from other OD’s. He is patient and answers all questions. I did not feel rushed at all. He explained everything that he was doing and the reasoning for doing it. I recommend Dr. Sweeney if you are looking for a new OD

I was referred to Dr. Sweeney by a friend, and have been going to him for 2 years now. He’s great and takes time with you. He’s very thorough with the exam and answers your questions clearly. He makes suggestions and provides good explanation for his suggestions.
The office staff are great but sometimes I feel a rudeness in the staff that does the scheduling when talking to her. Otherwise, the staff are very nice. I want to give Dr. Sweeney 5-​stars but his availability is limited. He’s so busy that it’s hard to schedule your appointment. This makes me want to find another doctor who has more availability, but then I think about how great Dr. Sweeney is that I am hesitant to switch.
Update: 9÷30÷13
I received my reminder card last week and called in today to schedule an appointment. Given almost 2 months in advance, I still had a hard time scheduling an appt with Dr. Sweeney. Although he is open until 7pm on Wednesday, there never seems to be availability on that day even with advance scheduling. He’s just too busy! I hate to take time off from work as my time off are limited and I must save that for my lil’ one. I hate to consider another optometrist b/​c Dr. Sweeney is by far the best optometrist I’ve had. *sighs*

I’ve been going to Dr. Sweeney for over 15 years. I am always impressed by how much time he takes with me, and with his easy yet candid manner. His staff — assistants, front desk, glasses fitters — have always all been unfailingly friendly and highly competent.
From glasses to contacts to LASIK referral and follow-​up, I’ve been through all of it with him and his office staff and been completely happy. I would recommend Dr. Sweeney to anyone, unconditionally.

High marks for the sweeney and the gong. I have gone to them for the past couple of years and the whole office is great. The receptionist are very professional and keep things moving for you. The technicians are very good at the preliminary exams. I have seen both doctors and both run a very nice professional business. They run all of the necessary tests to give you the best glasses possible. The eye glass technician was very good at helping to pick out the right frames, and glasses. She was very thorough with the insurance and let you know what the costs would be up front. My children are very comfortable in this office and we will remain customers here

Dr. Sweeney is fantastic. I was referred by my last eye doctor when I was moving away from southern California. I am still thankful for this recommendation 6 years later. He is a smart, gentle, and thorough doctor who listens and cares (which is so hard to find these days!). His receptionists and other staff are very nice and on-​the-​ball (which is also hard to find), they always remember me every time I walk through the door and greet me by name with a smile.

Dr. Sweeney is by far my favorite doctor. I have been seeing him (no pun intended) for over three years and am always impressed. As other reviewers have noted, he takes the time to get to know you and explains everything thoroughly.
The staff at the front desk is also extremely warm and welcoming. They know you by name and do everything they can to help you. On one occasion, I had a billing issue with my insurance. The front desk staff was willing to resubmit the paperwork to my insurance company in order for them to correctly bill it.
Highly recommended!

The Absolute Best. Period. If only all physicians could be this good… I’m so thankful my wife and I were referred to Dr. Sweeney by a coworker, as he has really improved not just our vision, but also our understanding of proper eye care.

I’ve been going to Dr. Sweeney for years. He’s professional and friendly. He takes the time to get to know his patients. His exams are thorough and he explains everything in a simple, easy to understand manner.
His staff is great too. They’re all very friendly and remember me whenever I come in. He’s a VSP provider, billing has always been very simple.

In this day and age of too many patients and not enough time in the day, Dr. Sweeney sets himself apart from everyone else. He spends time with you, gets to know you and is extremely thorough. I trust my eyes with him completely. His receptionists are great too. Unlike most, they are nice, friendly and accommodating.
They are also VSP providers and work with VSP lasik surgeons (in case you don’t feel like spending $ 2,700/eye on lasik).
