Description of Work
Needed to get two prescription glasses, one pair for close work/reading and the other progressive for varied distances. I always have a difficult time getting prescriptions/lenses that give me clear vision; usually it requires multiple visits because (mostly) the lenses did not match the prescription, were framed/centered incorrectly, the prescription was not suitable or the lenses were inferior. Dr. Snively and his staff got it right the first time--no repeat visits! It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional, competent, and friendly office. I'll go there again when I need to & recommend Dr. Snively/Vienna Eyecare Center to anyone who has difficulty getting accurate prescription glasses.

I am a very difficult patient to fit when it comes to glasses. I have a lot of problems with my vision and have to have tri-focals. I also have a sensitive bridge. It's difficult to find glasses that fit correctly and aren't too heavy so that they will sit in the correct position for the glasses to work correctly. I've had bad experiences previously so I very much appreciated that his office did a competent job with a difficult patient.

The exam was for my wife and she was happy with both Dr Snively and his staff. He has later technology than our previous Ophthalmologist who has retired. He is also more expensive!

I was a bit stunned by the $699 bill for eye exam and new glasses lenses. This price did not include new frames or contacts lenses. Also, I told them I was a Costco member and wanted to compare contact lens prices. They told me the lens manufacturer name but would not provide me with my prescription until I called back and told them the Costco price for that manufacturer's lenses. They could not meet the price and sent me my prescription. I felt like I was fighting for something I had paid for.

I needed an annual eye examination and I found the provider and staff courteous but not forthcoming about pricing.

Great. Dr Snively and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. His staff handles the routine eye machine tests and he handles the one better or two tests afterwards. The doctor takes his time with his patients and connects on a personal level.

Appointment was easy to make. They answered my questions about approximate costs up front and over the phone. Minimal wait after arrival. Thorough standard eye exam the detailed discussions on contact preferences. My prescriptions was unique so trial lenses had to be ordered. Returned a week or so later and again was promptly taken care of. Tried the lenses and the optometrist checked the fitting. Tiried the lenses for a couple weeks and one didn't fit quite right. Went for another check and another trial lense. That one worked and they order a year supply of disposables and had them sent to my house. Very happy with the results.
Description of Work
Needed to update contact prescription. Very professional staff and optometrist. Listened closely to my needs and wants. Took the extra time to do a couple of fittings with trial lenses to insure fit was good.

I was very comfortable with the experience, from setting up the appointment, getting the eye exam, and finally purchasing the glasses. I was pleased that they were well informed as to what was covered under my insurance and what was not.

My appointment was made at the time I had my eye exam the previous year. The staff took me back at my appointment time, and performed some preliminary tests on special equipment. When I met with the doctor, he performed the eye exam, and listened to everything I had to say about problems with my vision. He then took care to choose contact lenses that would be comfortable for me to wear. The routine is to order a trial pair of contact lenses, and have me wear them for several days before ordering a supply of lenses. This particular time, it took me several return visits and several different trial contact lenses to find the best fit for me. The doctor and the staff were always courteous and patient with me as I worked to find comfortable contact lenses. They never made me feel that I was wasting their time, or being an annoyance. Their main interest was making sure that I was completely satisfied with the contact lenses that I ordered. The lenses cost more than I might have paid at Costco, but I know that I would not have had the opportunity to try multiple varieties of lenses to find the best fit if I had gotten them there.

I have recently ordered glasses from him. I am waiting for them to be delivered. He has a very friendly staff. They are very courteous, very polite, and very responsible. The office is clean, uncluttered, and well organized. He is very easy going, personable, caring, friendly, and basically a nice guy. I will continue to use his services in the future.

Dr. Snively is good. His office staff is very polite and helpful. He has a nice facility. He listens and he helped me with my dry eye problem. He saw me the same day I contacted him. He is a little gruff when it comes to his bedside manner, but he knows what he is doing. The effectiveness of treatment has been good so far. One of the medicines he gave me didn?t work. I will probably continue to see him for eye glasses and other services.

He was certainly helpful and eager to try to make things work, but I think his technical skills were average.
