Unbelievable care from Dr. Schnipper, Sue, the office staff, and the optical desk. When I first had vision problems, I was seen elsewhere and never felt my needs were met. The 1st time I saw Dr. Schnipper, he diagnosed me with esotropia and treated me for 8 years using prism lenses. During that time, he was very thorough and sent me for a lot of testing to rule out any cause (because of my young age and sudden onset) and made sure I had a stable condition for years before he would operate (so it didn't come back). I had my eye surgery in June 2022 and cannot be happier. My eyes look identical, you cannot tell I ever had a crossed eye! The alignment is perfect! He is so knowledgeable and genuinely seems to care a lot about his patients. I can't recommend him enough! And a huge shout out to SUE, who I dealt with regularly as she's the one familiar with prisms and handles all those patients. Thank you all so much!
Phenomenal and learned doctor - a dying breed. He did both my eyes with Panoptic Lenses. I no longer need glasses or contacts for the rest of my life-- reading and distance. You feel nothing. I had cataracts and now everything is not only so clear -- but so BRIGHT!! The lines on the highway are actually bright white! It's like looking at life thru a Reveal lightbulb. 20/20 20/12.5.
