    I did a lot of waiting and research before choosing Dr. Snyder's office. He had come highly…read morerecommended by a friend but I wanted to make sure. My first meeting with them was very educational and they took a lot more time explaining my options with me than the other two doctors I had consulted with. They were very friendly and did not try to "sell" me on any kind of procedure. After choosing to go with them I scheduled my surgery and they did the rest! The process was very smooth and they assured me every step of the way. It has now been almost a year since I had the procedure completed and my vision is better than 20/20! I cannot believe I waited so long to get the Lasik Eye Surgery completed. Laser eye surgery was something that I had always wanted to do but was too nervous to let anybody mess with them. Dr. Robert Snyder was the best choice I could have ever made!!! Thank you Dr. Snyder and your entire team. If you are looking for a professional doctor to improve your eyesight, do not go anywhere else until you visit Dr. Snyder and his staff.

    THE GOOD, my wife and I have been going to Eye Associates of Tucson for many years. We started when…read moreI needed cataract surgery. The surgeon and staff were excellent and the results were better than I expected. Since then I have gone for an annual follow up visit as recommended by the doctors. At the appointment we schedule for the following year. I have been going in January. My wife in February. THE BAD, January, 2025 the examining doctor wanted to schedule me for my next visit in six months. I asked why as I have no lingering issues. He agreed that there was no need for a second visit last year. As the time for my visit in January 2026 rolled around I received a call and text telling me I needed to have my primary care doctor write a referral as we were no longer covered by our insurance, as Eye Associates of Tucson are now an out of network provider. I called them back telling them that I would wait until I had my annual physical with my primary care doctor so she could refer me to an in network provider. February 19, 2026 was my wife's scheduled appointment. Because I had received a call and text she suspected that the same could be true for her. She called, texted, and left a phone message asking if she needed a referral. There was no response from Eye Associates of Tucson. At the appointed time my wife went to her appointment. There she was told that she needed a referral. The female clerk told her that they could see my wife today for her exam, pay her co-pay, and then my wife could send in the referral. My wife declined, saying that we would allow our primary care doctor to refer us to an in network provider. Here are my beliefs: * The eye doctor at Eye Associates of Tucson knew in advance that there was a possibility that he would not get me for a patient in January 2026, thus wanting to schedule me twice in 2025. Possibly paid an incentive for scheduling patience for two appointments per year. * When Eye Associates of Tucson started calling patients who were as of 2026 now out of network many if not all did as I did, telling the employee of Eye Associates of Tucson that they will wait for a referral from their primary care doctor. * Thus, with a poor response from existing patients Eye Associates of Tucson stopped calling with the hopes of getting patients in the office who would agree to see the doctor for their scheduled appointment not knowing if their primary care physician would give them a referral to Eye Associates of Tucson. Finally, the communication system at Eye Associates of Tucson is broken. The voice mail instructions told my wife to leave a message and or text a message. She did both without a response. My wife asked me, "What if there was an emergency?" My response was, "Call 911." She then pointed out that there are other emergencies that do not require a 911 call yet a response is required.

    I drove 3.5 hours (7 hours round-trip) for this appointment, only to have Bakewell refuse to see me…read morebecause I was 10 minutes late after getting lost in the maze of his own hospital complex. I had to stop and ask people for directions just to find the office. What makes this even more outrageous is that the receptionist acknowledged that I was within their stated 10-minute grace period, yet he still refused to see me and told me I needed to reschedule. Since I was experiencing pain in my eye and it took more than a month to get this appointment, I asked - no, begged them -- to reconsider. I explained that I had just driven 3.5 hours to get there. The receptionist took her sweet time going to ask Dr. Bakewell, then came back several minutes later and told me that he refused to see me because I was 10 minutes late. Another receptionist explained that Dr. Bakewell would have had to spend more than 2 hours with me for my appointment. My question is: If that is true, what exactly was Bakewell doing with the next 2.5 hours of his time? Apparently, whatever it was, it was more important than seeing a patient who had driven 3.5 hours to be there. I explained that I was experiencing pain in my eye. They didn't care. There was no attempt to understand the circumstances, no effort to accommodate me, and no regard whatsoever for the fact that I had driven 3.5 hours ONE WAY for this appointment. The lack of compassion and regard for a patient is astounding! Asking me to drive another 7 hours ROUND TRIP was completely unreasonable and, frankly, impossible. At this point, I have to look at what happened as a blessing in disguise. There is no way I will ever let this man touch my eyes. I am still experiencing pain. Now I need to drive to L.A., where a more compassionate doctor has agreed to see me right away Shame on you! I'm going to share this experience with all my friends in Tucson to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else!
