Gary Sneag OD FCOVD

I don’t know what’s wrong with these people! They sound completely nuts and paranoid. WHO THINKS PEOPLE WOULD KNOCK YOU OVER ON PURPOSE! That’s ridiculous! My whole family has been going to Dr Sneag for over 15 years. He is completely professional and kind. The OPTOS retinal scans have saved peoples vision and can detect diabetes! Mishel — GOOGLE IT! I have always believed that the NO CELL PHONE USE in the small waiting area is for COMMON COURTESY and have never had to ask why — - because it’s «COMMON COURTESY». I assume the person who complained about it yaks and yaks loudly in restaurants, doctors offices and libraries! Ridiculous. They found my husband’s glaucoma before he had any symptoms. I would rather get my vision testing and my glasses here than at Walmart. However, my son actually got his testing and took his Rx to Walmart and got cheap frames, which anyone can do– SHEESH!

There’s a woman who’s an optometrist who works there. She’s great, thorough, though she didn’t know how to adjust my glasses. Then there is Dr. Sneag. He’s kind of cruel, avoid him, literally. Once he walked into me and actually knocked me off my feet! He apologized, but I could tell he did it on purpose because I was asking a tough question of the other optometrist on behalf of my daughter during her appointment. He’s brusque in his dealings with his staff, too. Staff is super friendly, but you do have to wait to get your questions answered. I came in to pick up my contacts. Had to wait 40 minutes! Just to have the desk person hand them to me since I had to wait while they checked in other people.

I concur with others, the retinal scan that they offer in lieu of dilation is a racket. I was only told of the additional charge after the test had been performed, had I known I would have saved my $ 89 and done it the old fashioned way (which is very accurate, by the way). If you go here because of a VSP referral, make sure you state up front you do not want the test. I also would strongly advise to just do the eye exam and get the frames and lenses elsewhere — after the fact, I priced out my progressive lenses at an online retailer and they were a fraction of the price (even with the VSP discount). Will never go back

Dr. Sneag is one of the best optometrists in San Diego. I know people who drive from Escondido to see him in Clairemont. As for the yahoo with the cell phone in the previous review, maybe you’re not aware that it’s just plain rude to talk on a cell phone when you’re trying to conduct other business. I would have asked you to step outside as well.

I was walking into my appointment and on hold with my vision insurance, I was asked to leave the office because the cell phone call would interrupt the machines in the office. I was so annoyed, I needed to get some information for this appointment. Also I work in a hospital, cell phones DO NOT interrupt with equipment. Not anymore, new technology now a days!
Also I refused one of the eye tests that my insurance does not cover. I could not afford it; just so happens… Dr. Sneag is unable to get my vision right with the regular testing. So he tells me that I have to have this test because he is worried that he can not get my vision right for my contacts. He is concerned that something could be wrong with my eyes. WHAT? I started getting scared. Knowing that I can not afford this test I go in to take this test anyways, because something isnt right the dr said so.
The test came out normal. I believe this office is just one money hungry place.
