I am grateful to have found Snead Eye Group There are other locations and I called the office that could take me in a shorter period of time, within 2 days, I was at the office. Nicole the receptionist, is the most efficient and knowledgeable in helping me to get me checked in. Dr. Nathan Etten , O.D. I can’t say enough with his professionalism and expertise in helping me resolve an issue I’ve had for over a month. He even wrote out my instructions by hand so that I could understand them better as seeing was a bit hard on a medicine label. Thank you Lee Midtgard

An absolutely delightful experience. In all my visits to an eye doctor I have never had a more thorough explanation of each procedure. Dr Etten was very pleasant as well as efficient. I was in and out in about an hour. 5 stars.
