Dr. Lauren Schneider is one of the most outstanding specialists to whom I entrust my care. She is intelligent, highly skilled, warm and accessible, and always a pleasure to deal with; she makes one feel as though he or she is the only patient with whom she is dealing, answering all questions and concerns both patiently and clearly. Specifically, she successfully cured my severe myopia/astigmatism (of about 60 years’ standing!) via painless and uneventful cataract surgery 3.5 years ago, after which I still am enjoying perfect vision!!! Every examination before and since that event has been careful, solicitous and informative. Also, the support staff deserve a shout-out for being polite, professional, friendly, and accommodating. I can’t recommend this doctor, and this practice, strongly enough.

I honestly didn't even get in to see a doctor. I was experiencing some concerning eye symptoms and was hoping to get an earlier appointment. I was told that they could only see me a month from today despite my symptoms impacting my autonomy. While I understand that the office is busy, there was truly no empathy for my symptoms by the front desk staff. They said I wasn't experiencing a 'true emergency' and that was the best they could do. Then they hung up on me when I tried to get examples of what that office considered a 'true' emergency in their eyes. I didn't yell or raise my voice, I was simply asking this question before I establish care because I have an pre-existing eye condition. Absolutely unacceptable that is the behavior they allow their front desk staff to exhibit. I just went ahead and canceled my appointment, I can only foresee negative experiences with this office that isn't worth the trouble.

I am so pleased with the results from cataract surgery which was performed by Dr. Schneider. I was very apprehensive about the surgery and Dr. Schneider was extremely helpful...she answered all my questions (which were many) and was so conscientious with the measurements that I am the envy of my friends who have also had cataract surgeries...from different doctors. I strongly recommend Dr. Scheider for her professional, kind, meticulous, and amiable manner.
