Made to wait in the extremely uncomfortable metal chair for over half an hour and then finally was told that the doctor left 8 minutes prior to letting me know. To be honest, I don't know what's going on at this place that sends you an email reminded to book an appointment, you book an appointment at the available time slot, you sit and wait only to waste your time. At least one staff was apologetic and one blamed the doctor but really what's the problem here? This poor business practice has to stop.

After the initial exam, my eyes were dilated for further examination. I was then sent out to the frame showroom, to look at frames. The bright lights combined with the huge open windows and my dilated eyes lead to me not being able to see at all and having a huge headache. My wife and I asked for some disposable shades, but the lady showing frames refused, saying that they were not needed and I was overreacting. She then preceded to fleece my wife with add-ons to her lenses, and berated me for not looking at the frames. When the doctor came back out, and saw what was happening, I was taken into a dark room, and given some disposable shades to wait. But still, hours layer, I have a headache and my eyes are sore from that 30 minutes that horrible lady was trying to squeeze money out of us under the lights with our eyes dilated and just not listening to us. Also we didn't get an itemized bill. I was blind and didn't realize it, I thought my wife had it, she thought I had it. Will I go back? No, never, in fact I wish we didn't have to go back to pick up my wife's glasses in 2-4 weeks (OMG! And we they were very expensive!)

I've visited both office locations for dry eye treatment and annual eye checkups…read more Writing because on multiple visits, I've overheard comments during conversations between the front desk ladies that were unprofessional in a healthcare setting. I cannot speak on whether these comments reflect any management awareness, but as a patient, it made the environment extremely uncomfortable to hear what I understood and perceived as carelessly ignorant. Living in California for a long time, these were not words I expected to hear and very inappropriate for the workplace let alone a "professional" clinic. The rest of my experience here has been great; amazing doctors and aides who have persistently helped me through my slough of issues, which makes this all the more unfortunate. I will not be returning and would strongly encourage a refresher of basic empathy, inclusiveness, and client-sided professionalism.

Finding a great optometrist feels like winning the lottery, and I hit the jackpot here. The doctor…read moreis rigorous and thorough without ever feeling rushed, genuinely one of the best diagnosticians I've seen, and a genuinely enjoyable person to spend time with. But honestly the two women at the front deserve their own review. Between them they cover glasses fitting, frame selection, lens materials, insurance navigation, and scheduling, and they do all of it with a warmth and generosity that is just rare anymore. They treat you like a person, not a transaction. This is a practice that clearly puts everything back into patient care. You feel it the moment you walk in. I won't go anywhere else, especially not the boutique-y places that prioritize their lavish lifestyles over patient care.

Prior to visiting Dr. Neunzig, I received two very badly botched lens prescriptions from a different optometrist at a different company in Monterey. After two failed attempts, I was told that it was impossible to correct my vision. I thought it was crazy to tell me that it was my fault! So, based on my neighbor's recommendation, I sought out Dr. Neunzig. Boy, was I glad I did! He had no problem at all in refracting my eyes for new lenses. I have the new glasses now and my vision in both eyes is better than 20/20! I am beyond happy to be able to see clearly again! I plan to continue seeing Dr. Neunzig for future checkups and refractions. I highly recommend Pacific Grove Optometric Center.
