Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Totally insensitive
He him do my cataracts. He suggested multi focal lenses. Do NOT advise the problems. After I had the first one done, I complained of awful halos. He said this would reciting intself after second lens implant. Well halos were worse, like huge dandelion seeds around every light. Now said if I wanted them replaced, who need to see someone else. Good I guess if you have no problems, but avoid at all costs in case you do. He will do nothing.

I already have recommended Dr. John Snead to several neighbors. He was very efficient and knowledgeable as to the steps to follow in not only my regular eye exam, but in his extra in-depth testing to discover the reason for my very debilitating pain. He even sent me for blood tests and will notify my general physician. I have never had an ophthalmologist go the extra miles for me. It’s obvious that Dr. John Snead really cares about his patients, is extremely knowledgeable in not just eyes, but other specialties as well, and loves his helping others have a healthier and happier life.

Dr. Snead saved my life. He noticed a problem with the blood vessels in my eye. He sent me to a cardiac specialist and within a month, I had successful heart surgery. My private doctor had missed the condition for at least 3 years.
