Pack a lunch! You'll be waiting for a very long time! I take my elderly in-laws here and dread having to see them wait for so long. The last time we were there we were put in an exam room, then sent to the testing side. We waited to be called back for 1.5 hours in that one section. Wasn't until a nurse comes back from the other side again to take us all the way back to the exam room did we realize that someone screwed up. The nurse assumed my in-law had her test done. Uh NO. No one called us (and we were sitting right next to the door they call patients from). So basically we waited for an extra 1.5 for NOTHING. Total wait time that day 3.75 HOURS. We were there for half of their shift!!! It's crazy because there seems to be a ton of employees. So is it the Dr? Money hungry to where they overbook a ton of appointments & sacrifice patient care??? If you're in the market for an optometrist and are like most people with busy schedules: you might want to stay clear of this office. But if you don't have a thing to do and love sitting in uncomfortable chairs and feeling ignored by every employee and Dr: then this place is your jam! read more

I been with Dr. Greider for yrs. It's time I write a review. If I could give him and his staff more than five stars I would. I use to ware Bifocals. No more after Dr Greider perform Cataracts Surgery. Everything is like HD. It's now 17 yrs later Dr Greider perform Eyelid Surgery on me. Just had my stitches removed today. It has only been seven Days and my bruises are almost gone.. My eyes are so big and bright. Wish this would let me post Before and After pictures... Thank you Dr. Greider your the best!!! read more

One day I woke up to blurred vision and blind spot in my right eye. Greider worked to get me in the same day, took excellent care of me, and spent a ton of time explaining my condition, future care, and several options from ditching contacts and moving into a glasses only life-style to surgery. They were kind and took their time. 100% recommend. read more

If you're looking for an ophthalmologist I would absolutely recommend Dr.Zaveri. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and made me so comfortable going into my cataract surgery. The only reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I would say the front desk staff is not all that friendly. I called to reschedule a post op appointment and the woman on the phone (to make this story short) told me the only option was to see another doctor. I called back and asked for any option to reschedule with Dr Zaveri and she "squeezed me in" and told me I would be waiting a really long time to see him for the appointment because I had to reschedule. I would say that was probably the 3rd or 4th time calling about something where I spoke to something who was unwilling to help or was rude. Dr.zaveri and his medical assistants/nurses are awesome through ! read more

I would give more stars if that were possible. I had cataract surgery in both eyes. I chose mono vision for far sightedness in both eyes and I had limbal relaxation incisions to correct my astigmatism in my left eye and a toric lens for the astigmatism in my right eye. I had the laser for measuring and cutting. I now have 20-20 vision in both eyes for far vision which is what I hoped for. Dr. Greider is an excellent eye surgeon. He is careful and skilled. He is kind and caring. He called me at home the night of my second operation to see how I was doing. If I had a third eye, then I'd have him do that one, too. BTW, the North County Surgery Center was efficient and had great ambiance. read more

This is review is based on my experience with the office staff. I scheduled an eye exam a while back. I was contacted by phone to tell me that al eye exams were cancelled due to Covid. I assumed that the office would contact me and reschedule when the office reopened. That did not happen. I rescheduled. The day before my appt I received a call from the office. The person was very abrupt and stated she could not find my VSP information. I proceeded to get the ID info she needed. The caller was talking to someone in her office about breaks etc. I repeatedly said ,hello,hello, are you there? She never responded and ignored me. Needless to say, I will not be using Greider Associates. The doctor may be good but the staff is unprofessional. I can find a good doctor and professional staff elsewhere. read more

Excellent eye care worth waiting for. I usually bring a book.

This is the best eye care. Dr. Zaveri and his whole staff are a great team. I highly recommend them.

What a joke don't go there! You get a exam by anyone but Dr. Greider who you asked for? Then after that the doctor does finally see you because you have to insist and you still get no where! Eye insurance nor medical insurance gets you no where! My prescription is blurry! My eye surgery never went anywhere no estimate nor any preauthorization? Office help decides-your fate Dr. Greider has no time to talk or explain anything to you!! Eye exam or medical gets you no where But office help who are not there to help. The office has a very heavy volume of customers so you wait wait wait and untimely get disappointed! Not for me! You decide! Good luck! read more

I had to come here on an emergency basis because I was at work when I realized I had what I thought was an eye ulcer. Had to find something close and nip it in the butt as soon as I could. I read the poor reviews, I thought I'd give them a chance anyway. Everyone reading the reviews needs to know it's not about the service. The ladies that work the front desk are so nice. The techs that take you back to the exam rooms are also very kind. The doctors are thorough and will answer any questions you may have without you feeling like you are bothering them. I've never seen such good customer service in an office before. I'll give them that much. What's the issue then? How poorly they construct their office visit schedule. Those reviews about them running behind are not only right, but under exaggerated. I visited the office on 5 different occasions. My shortest wait time? 40 minutes, NOT including my OCD habit of being 15 minutes early to everything. My longest wait time? 1.5 hours w/ an appointment and confirmation that the doctor was not running behind schedule. If that's not inefficiency, I don't know what is. I've read comments that they have to leave room for emergencies, and etc. But if you are consistently running 1.5 hours behind schedule, you need to fix your schedule. The frustration of your patients will only continue and with your stellar service, you should be ranked much, much higher. read more

Dr. Greider needs an Eye Dr himself! Can't he see how rude his Employees are?? Spoke with "FRAN" who won't say her name and for three times i asked !! Then she ended up asking for mine? Huh? why? Not very Friendly! Encountered many of his employees who are like that! "GOD" Quality of Glasses are Great But not Front Desks! Hope by popping this message won't intervene on how they will treat my family. We've been with him too for so long !! He is very Good and His Colleagues, But not good on choosing employees though... They Need ASAP Training of Customer Service!!! The Experience we've had was not only done once.. Every Year is like that..=( BOO his! I'll make sure after the this year.. We are REALLY MOVING OUT of his group to prevent the abuse!.. read more

The Mr. has had "Dry Eyes" for about 8 months using drops as self treatment. He went to the optometrist who did an eye exam and suggested the Systane brand. The Mr was still worried about the dry eyes went to his GP who ran tests and also found nothing wrong with him or his eyes or health, and then gave us referral to Dr. Greider's office because we wanted to know why his eyes are dry. We had a 3:30 appt and were called in at 4:10 (got there at 3:15pm). The Dr. quickly went through some tests including one that tested pressure- he did not warn the Mr. that it would be touching his eye. He quickly said that the nurse would explain everything about the drops and was about to exit when I spoke up and said "WHY is this happening??" we KNOW he has dry eyes- but WHY?? We have been to an Eye Dr, a GP and were referred to you to find out why this is happening. He had no answers, but suggested the Mr. make another appt to get dialated (we've already done that- all clear) finally he said our eyes get dry with age. His final recommendation was to use the Systane 6x's a day- nothing new really. I would not allow an older person (i.e. my Mom) to go here on their own as the Dr is very skillful at excusing himself, before recommending another appt. without really answering any questions unless pressed and quickly tries to exit the room. We will not be going back to this office again. The people working there were nice enough, but just like most medical offices north of 78 it was FULL- it's like a cattle call. "In and Out" more insurance to bill and it totally felt that way. We were just a bill. Think about it, they over schedule, you wait almost an hour for them to see you 5 minutes and the tons they bill your insurance for. ugghh!! If your GP refers you here, ask for somewhere else! read more

Best eye office around. Everything about this place was amazing from the service to the glasses selections. The optical department is absolutely delightful and helped me pick the perfect glasses. 10/10! read more

I had a 7:30 appt Monday Oct 26/2020 for eye surgery. EIGHTY minutes later I was still waiting to see the doctor. I checked with the desk receptionist and was told there were two people waiting ahead of me and she had no idea how much longer I would have to wait. Needless to say, I left as I had other commitments for later in the morning. It appears that they are not only doing double bookings but triple bookings! I'm very disappointed as I have been going to Greider Eye for several years! Sad to say, no one called me to reschedule. read more

My husband needed cataract surgery in both eyes due to a traumatic accident that caused blindness. He was referred to Dr Greider, who did a very thorough exam of his eyes and got him in for surgery quickly. My only complaint is that they insist that the surgery you need is the one that costs way more than what the insurance pays for. That adds up when you have to do both eyes, and are on a fixed income. read more

Wait time was 64 minutes from my scheduled appointment to meet with the technician. After another 15, the doctor drops in and spends less than 10 minutes with me. The doctor was great and professional, but that's just rude to overbook appointments. I didn't think the woman booking appointments on the phone was very friendly either. I threw in an extra star for their candy bowl. read more

What's the point of making appointments if your waiting room is a first come, first serve clusterfudge. I had an 8:00am appointment, and was one of the first people in the building and still had wait over half an hour to be seen. Why not just give me an 8:30 appointment??? At least that way I could have planned to be late for work! By the time I left the waiting room was completely packed with bored patients who were probably all duped by their "appointments." read more

So far I am completely not impressed. I was referred by my primary at Scripps, and received a letter of authorization. I called for an appointment and described my symptoms. I was told I could not wait until next week, I could have a detached retina and must come in the next day, which was Friday. The address shown on the letter was in San Bernardo; I took off work and braved the traffic there (from Vista). Realized they were not there, called and found that they were in Vista (address not on the referral letter). Told them I would try to get there as soon as I could, which they said must be by 4 (it was 3:30). At 3:50 I was at the 78 and 15 junction, called to tell them I would not make it and they rescheduled to Monday at 11:30. I asked if I should be taking any special precautions, they say "how would we know? We haven't seen you yet." So. You have enough info to tell me it is urgent to come in right away unless I can't be there between 4 pm Friday and 11:30 Monday. And between those times there are no particular precautions I should take. Thanks for not providing your location and your glaring lack of concern. Especially letting me know the "urgency", and letting me sit on it this weekend. read more

Great service and eye care. He successfully fixed my cataracts and successfully corrected my vision with 2 multi focal lenses. I now see clearly and comfortably. read more

First visit, only because of an emergency, but definitely our regular eye place from now on. Employees are friendly and extremely competent, a big plus in my book. It was slow, but only because they were trying to fit me in between regular patients. Couldn't be happier with the visit, Thank you!! read more

I read on yelp about someone feeling rushed. . I arrived for my appointment. I had the same feeling, however, I needed to get back to work. So it worked for me....Wife got the same feeling after her appointment on a different date...I received my glasses and found them very strong, The fit after about 6 months was awful (they bent them for me and replaced the lens that had a scratched, I paid for the no scratch coating) ....going forward 3 months. Glasses will not stay on my face again...asked for warranty...all I got was " you used it already" I said! I thought I had a year warranty. You do! however, Its only good for one repair. I then promptly found another Dr. After finding and finishing my appointment at the new Dr (Dr. Wu) she explained to me that the glasses were the wrong type of frame for my face. Also the prescription was to strong and the lens were cut incorrectly...Received my new pair...All is great. Now onto my wife....after switching to Dr Wu. Dana was told the previous Dr. (Dr. Greider) gave her contact lens that are discontinued and forced my wife to fill a years worth of lens...Some in a color. Dr Wu said these are the worst type of lens for her condition.. AWESOME!!!.....and to back up what other people are saying....RUDE read more

My husband and I both had back-to-back cataract surgery recently done by Dr. Greider. He was extremely professional and very competent. We both were very impressed with every encounter we had with him, and his excellent staff. He is very experienced and his equipment and techniques are very "state of the art." Everyone at his office went out of their way to accommodate both my husband's and my schedule, sometimes seeing us back-to-back, even though our appointments were officially hours apart. They all were very patient with our million questions. We highly recommend Greider Eye Associates. read more

My family have been patients at Dr. Greider's office for over 20 years and have only good things to say about the practice. The staff has always been helpful, friendly and professional. They make time for addressing concerns and answering questions without making you feel rushed. Dr. Greider has done cataract surgery on both my husband and myself with amazing results. He was always willing to answer all our questions with kindness and professionalism. He never made our appointments feel rushed. I would definitely recommend this practice for any eye care needs. read more

The whole office is so professional and caring that i felt very comfortable. Dr Greider is a skilled surgeon and tells you what to expect. I am very satisfied with Dr. Greider and his associates. read more

PLEASE take my advice and do not go to this office for either cataract surgery or Lasik. My wife had both, because Dr. Greider put in the wrong lens and had Dr. Krall perform Lasik to correct the mistake which made it worse, and now cannot pass the DMV test to drive. Completely changed our lives!! Also, don't waste your money on paying for "ORA", total scam! read more

I have to give this place a 5 star for sure. After being diagnosed incorrectly, Dr. Zaveri put me on the right medication to help my eye feel better. He was so nice and knowledgeable about my issue. Also his technician Alex was so sweet and nice! They got me in next day, and even though I know I inconvenienced their schedule, they worked me in and made me feel like I was important. Super nice! I peeked in optical too, and they have a lot of glasses options which is a double bonus for an ophthalmologist! Clean office. Highly recommend Dr. Zaveri and Alex!!! read more

Highly unprofessional office. Never received any results or communicatin from my visit. Just shuffled from one room to the next. Two weeks later I called, 3 seperate times. Each time waiting on hold for at least 20 minutes. That's 1 hour! Finally went to the office in person. Still waited, but only 10 minutes. This office has very poor communication. Would not recommend them and will not be returning. read more

This office is very busy, but it's so nice when the staff and doctor is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable as a patient. I saw Dr. Stone and he was very nice explained everything he was doing.. now I'm just waiting for my new glasses! Had a very good visit read more

I just had cataract surgery on Thursday with Dr. Zaveri. If you are contemplating having your eyes examined or having eye surgery please consider Dr Zaveri. He is very professional and answers all your questions.The surgery was so easy,and everyone at the North Coast Surgery Center made you feel calm and relaxed, no worries. I can't wait to have the other eye done. thank you Dr. Zaveri read more

Dr Zaveri is the best opthalmologist. He's attentive to my concerns. He takes whatever time I need to feel confident about understanding my treatment. He's very nice, actually quite sweet. And he's handsome. What more could you want? read more

Dr Stone was fantastic. He explained everything as he was doing it. I am not sure someone has been that thorough. My pressures were taken and eyes dilated. This was all done in 30 minutes. I have never had an exam that fast. I will be going back to them. read more

My 5-star assessment is specific to my recent experience Dr. Greider himself. He was really great and accommodating. Here are some overall thoughts on a recent appointment I had: *Very nice/clean/modern/large office (packed with patients) *The girls at the front desk were accommodating enough, though they seemed extremely busy. On the phone they were a bit harder to understand/deal with, again, because I think they have so many people in there and it's a very busy office. Dealing with them in person was best. *The technicians and staff that assist Dr. Greider were all very pleasant. The girl who numbed my eyes and dilated them made a slight error in that she actually shouldn't have dilated my eyes when she did, as the spot I wanted the Dr. to see was made unviewable because of it. It was not a really big deal or problem. It was an honest mistake on her part, because 9 times out of 10, it is necessary for them to dilate a patient's eyes for the procedure I was in there for. *As a busy mom of a 1 yo, I quietly voiced that this was a bit disappointing because it meant I would have to come back for a second (technically unnecessary) appointment when my eyes were not dilated so that the spot I was questioning could be seen. Dr. Greider went above and beyond and was extremely kind about it all. He explained that he knew what it was like being a busy parent and he said he could see me the following day as he was not in surgery and said he would make whatever time work. The girls were surprised I could tell, as I am sure he is a very busy Dr. It made it all worthwhile in my opinion. I recommend this Dr. read more

This eye Doc must triple book all day long. They are always at least an hour or more wait. Don't try to fit in an appt. from work.

Sadly this business has become a 'sausage factory' trying make as many 'sausages' a day as it can. They have lost the personal and friendly touch they used to have. I am sure the doctors know their stuff, and are great at what they do. I was greeted at check in by what could best be called a curt and very busy lady. No - 'welcome back' or 'how is your day going". Then i waited for 30 minutes for the doctor, who was running late, and i guess i'll never know here name as she did not introduce herself. Very business like exam, but i kept thinking 'wham bam thank you Ma'm' and onto the next customer. I have been a customer for a number of years and have seen the business expand down the hallway more and more every time i visit. The quality of care i have received has always been good but the business has lost it's personal touch of being a local business. Pity. read more

I've had nothing but great experiences at this office. Erica and Brandon work together to get me the best price for my glasses and they both were super friendly and professional. The doctor I see it's finally and running members me year after year and very quick in and out. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing patient care. Everyone there is so sweet and treats each one of their patients with care. They will not stop until they know they have helped you as much as they could. I went in with dizziness and double vision and saw many doctors before and they sent me home with medication for a migraine and this office was the only ones to actually listen to my concerns and give me a proper diagnoses which actually saved my eyesight. I would recommend this office to everyone I know! read more

What a great group of people that work here! They were all so friendly and attentive to my needs. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone and everyone. I will say that Heather went above and beyond to make sure I left happy and felt comfortable with my choice so special shout-out for her. Thanks Greider Eye Associates!!! I'll be back. read more

Dr. Zaveri performed cataract eye surgery on my grandma and she has nothing but positive reviews! She says "He is a very good doctor and you feel very comfortable talking with him." We definitely recommend him. read more

I have been a patient here for years and recently started to bring my children. The staff is very friendly and helpful and always willing to fix my kids' glasses which occurs almost on a monthly basis. Dr. Greider recently performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. He explained everything very thoroughly, took a very conservative approach and I can now see perfectly without glasses for the first time in 30 years. Great experience and highly recommended. read more

The times I have been here the wait is outrageous and no matter how early I get here it's 30mins after appt time I am seeing. This is poor customer service. The staff always seem to have a lot of time to chit chat about personal stuff while the patient is waiting to be called on. Very unprofessional read more
