He is medically qualified and prepared, but more than that he's compassionate about eye health. I absolutely adore him. He and his staff consistently provide stellar customer service, and customer service is extremely important to me... like customer service is my jam. They are kind, concerned, and attentive to all of my eye health needs. I've had pink eye infections, contact lenses, glasses, etc. You name it when it comes to my eyes, Dr. J Low (my affectionate name for him) has checked it and fixed it. So if you're looking for a GREAT experience when it comes to optometrists, go see my friend, Dr. Lowitz!

Update: I'm no stranger to surgeries and medical procedures, but so many of them have gone poorly…read morefor me, either by being painful or ineffective or mistakes being made. This was my first elective medical procedure and the only one that went smoothly and painlessly. The most painful part of this procedure was peeling the tape off my face to lift the eye shields up to put eye drops in. Getting the valium was a big help to my anxiety and took away my restless/fidgety nature so I could lay still during the procedure. This team seemed liked a well oiled machine; they communicated concisely and calmly and it was incredibly comforting to know what was going on and how long it would take for each step. When I heard "18 seconds," I felt extremely relieved, not just because that step was extremely short, but also because I knew what to expect. The team had an awesome sense of humor and had me laughing for half the procedure. There was pressure, there was discomfort, but there wasn't any pain and I don't think the entire procedure took 5 minutes. I kept my eyes closed for a few hours after, but when I woke up and lifted the eye shields, I could see, perfectly, and that's amazing. My friend was able to sit in a waiting room and watch/record the procedure on a TV, which was so cool. I've watched the video like 5 times already and I just can't believe the coordination and care they're able to achieve. I have 20/20 vision the day after the procedure, with no pain or dryness. To prepare for the surgery I took fish oil, lutein, and zeaxanthin, used preservative free eye drops generously as well as MSM eyedrops daily and used a steam mask daily. I've been giving my eyes a full 30 seconds closed at the beginning of every hour to be sure I don't experience the dryness or discomfort that I've read some others do. I'm not sure if all the prepping I did contributed to how smoothly it went, but I know it went a long way toward making my eyes feel better regardless.

But when it became apparent I had some kind of "debris particle" stuck in my cornea and no amount of eyewash would rinse it out, Patient First referred me to Dr. Snyder. I was in a lot of pain at the time and Dr. Snyder was able to see me within a couple hours of calling for an appointment. He had to scrape my cornea to clear the debris. It wasn't scary at all because he was totally cool and told me exactly what I could expect. He was really great at taking the time to explain how it would feel and what I could do to get through it. More than the eye poking, I was afraid of the bill because my health insurance doesn't cover any out of pocket medical costs. Dr. Snyder went with me to make sure I paid a reduced rate when I checked out at the front desk. My bill was only $80. What a relief! He also told me he normally would have people come back in for a recheck, but to avoid cost, I only had to return if I was having a problem. I'm not gonna lie, the short recovery time was painful. But I was better after a day and my eyes are happy and healthy again. Dr. Snyder was great. I would definitely go to him again if I have any eye problems.
