I've been coming to this location since I was a little boy, and it's been incredible to watch this family-owned practice grow over the years. I remember being seen by father Dr. Snyder, and now I'm grateful to be cared for by his son, Dr. Harlan Snyder. Today, my own children receive their eye care here as well, which speaks volumes about the trust and quality of service. They also offer a great variety of eyewear to choose from. read more

I've been visiting Dr. Snyder for about the last 2 or so years now, and he's always been extremely welcoming and friendly. He is patient and careful in his explanations, and he genuinely has your well-being in mind. I also really appreciate the fact that this is a family-run operation, and has been for a while now, so there is a level of care that they pride themselves on, as it's their name and reputation on the line. If there was an area that I wished for, it would be for an online portal so I didn't have to call in to make an appointment, but his staff is very friendly as well, so it isn't that much of a bother. I highly recommend Dr. Snyder's practice to anyone seeking an Optometrist! read more

This is THEE BEST place to go to get your eyes checked for glasses & referral if needed. Family run business that makes you feel welcome and comfortable as you get tested. Very professional staff & Father-Son business. Highly recommended. read more

Snyder Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

See all

I've been a patient of Dr. Snyder for more than two years, both with the VA and at his private practice in Alhambra. Each time I see him, he's always professional, and friendly, and explains everything. By the way, his staff in Alhambra is equally as nice. I like his services so much that I even have my wife going to see him for her optical needs. Thank you, Dr. Snyder, for being there and caring for my eye exam and eyewear needs. Thank you for your service to our veterans! read more

Wow. You accused me of taking the screws out of the sunglasses. You told me that I would not be issued a refund. You said screws come out of glasses at anytime. I asked you back in July should screws be popping out of 500 dollar glasses. You said "Yes". Additionally, I just spoke to your receptionist today at 3:29 PM and she said "Screws come out of 700, 800 dollar glasses". Attached is the glasses you supposedly fixed by tightening screws. Heads up: You didn't fix them and they broke again. PS: To all of Snyders customers. He charged me 500 dollars for these and I just found them for 50 dollars online. read more

Snyder Optometry - They broke again... - Optometrists Near Me - Alhambra, California

The most thorough exam I've ever had. Doctor was very personable and genuinely caring. The frame selection was great, lots of designer options to choose from. The front office ladies were super sweet and super swift in answering my multiple questions. Easy and plenty parking in the back. Go see them! read more

Last year, Harlan Snyder examined me for a potential retinal tear on my left eye. Another complication I had were heavily cataracted lenses, which I also got replaced since I saw him. He managed to spot the tear through my very cloudy lens when even the machine was struggling to take a picture of my retina through my lens. He immediately referred me to Yi Jiang at San Gabriel Retina. Dr. Jiang operated the same day. His staff, Alex and Maritza, are wonderful. Thanks to them I managed to see Dr. Snyder at such short notice. If it weren't for Dr. Snyder and his staff, I would be blind. read more

This is a father and son team optometry. I made my appointment with the son who is Dr Harlan Snyder. I was very pleased with his service and with his friendly staff. He is very patient, nice and caring. They are located on Chapel and Main Street in Alhambra. They are also open on some Saturdays It's a small little building with the parking lot in the back. Very conveniently located. They have a large selection of frames for women, men and children. I ordered a pair of glasses and was surprised that Dr. Harlan was the one who made sure my new glasses fit comfortably. Thank you Dr Harlan. read more

My wife had a pathetic experience two months back. They treat patients like crap. They only look at the potential business, not patient care. They always book an appointment when she shows up; they ask her to come another. This happened twice. When she asked about it, they were insulting towards her. The previous day, she called and confirmed the appointment by herself. The reason for posting now is I am in another optometrist now for her checkup. We both feel the difference in the hospitality and courtesy of the new one. Snyder was a terrific experience. Their reviews are a trap. read more

Snyder optometry is an amazing family owned and operated small business. They are located off of Main Street in a quaint little neighborhood style house/office space. I love that they run their business from a converted old home. They have a small parking lot in back, however I've always found street parking easily. Dr. Harlan Snyder has a great personality and is always so kind and energetic. I've never waited for long periods of time before an appointment and Dr. Snyder does make time to get to know his patients, and remember them! I came to him for about a year for contacts, glasses and overall eye health. Recently, I expressed to him that I was interested in laser eye surgery and he was very supportive! He referred me out to a local dr and has seen me for all of my follow up care. I would highly recommend this office to anyone and all ages. They're good people with good customer service and genuinely care about their community. read more

Very helpful staff, and Dr. Snyder is the best really takes time to cater to what you really need and makes sure that everything is right for you. And not mention that I only live around the corner. Makes it better for me... read more

Very friendly . Very professional . I found my new optometrist . I was able to call and make an appointment with no issues. Any question I had they answer right away. read more

Of course, I found a new place which meet my expectations. Unlike Snyder optometry, my new optometrist did the annual eye exam and dilated eye exam in the same day. It just took only 35 mins at the maximum. The only difference was that they had all the modern facilities to do this.I now realise that how outdated and old your techniques, machines and equipment's are. It would be great if you and your staff take a master course about how to be courteous and respectful to your patients and how shouting at your patients will lead to bad reviews. I want to correct your 4 year claim. I came to Snyder optometry for 3 years and quit after the 3 years of bad experience. Nobody wants to go to a place where the doctor and staff shout at patients. read more

As much as I don't want to give bad review well I have to this time. I've been coming here for 3 years and don't have much issues. But this time they just changed my appointment without my permission. The lady who called me on Monday February 6 at 9.40 am said "your appointment tomorrow " which is Tuesday. I replied my appointment on Wednesday not Tuesday don't change my appointment without my permission. I made appointment from January and I asked day off to do my eye exam, what a waste! She said yeah doctor needs to do screening so he's available tomorrow at 1.45 pm, he's not gonna be at office in Wednesday. She replied theres nothing she can do. What a bummer! They don't respect your time. They don't care about your time at all. I literally lost my hours at work and they just don't care even you made appointment a month before. Beware. I cannot keep asking days off from work, I usually ask day off and filled my day with appointments so I don't lose too much hours. I'm not going to back to this place. It's not worth it. Even Dr Harlan called it just you loose the trust. I appreciate good intentions tho , he addressed the issue that they made wrong appointment but no more read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Harlan for almost ten years and cannot say enough good things. He and his staff are efficient and very kind. The office is cozy and there is ample parking in the rear. They have a large selection of frames, designer and others. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

Wonderful family practice. Good experience from beginning to end. Thank you for all your help.

Dr. Snyder has been our family optometrist since 2001, when I worked around the corner from the office. He is patient, professional, and caring of his patients. His experience and knowledge have kept us loyal to his practice regardless of us moving over 30 miles away. His staff is welcoming and has worked with all our family's growing needs. read more

I strongly endorse Dr. Snyder's optometry practice. Our entire family, including my dad, Ernesto and brothers, my mom, my children, and myself, has been relying on their professional and welcoming services for many years. Both father and son are exceptional, and Alex, the Spanish-speaking assistant, has consistently addressed my mother's questions with warmth she is the BEST!. Maritza, whom I met today while booking my daughter's appointment, was sweet and professional, adding to the positive experience. read more

I wasn't too thrilled to find out I needed glasses, but the staff at Snyder Optometry really made it a pleasant experience. The location is very clean and organized with an overwhelming selection of glasses. I went in on a Saturday and Alex welcomed me with a warm smile and cheerful spirit. (Grateful that they are open on Saturdays!) We went over glasses and contacts to explore the best option for me. She explained the numerous options such as daily wear contacts, monthly, glasses with or without glare, etc. She was very knowledgeable and made me feel at easy. I'm glad that my insurance is accepted here. Great staff, great eyewear selection, and they have hours that allow me to go in with my busy schedule. Love this optometry! read more

I've been coming here since I was 15 with my mom and have always had a great experience with everyone there. I definitely come to Snyder Optometry for all my eye needs. Also love how it's family owned. They will make you feel like family, highly recommended to everyone! read more

Amazing experience. I needed an exam as it had been a few years for me and today was just great. Friendly staff, and really nice office. It's a friendly relaxing vibe. The doctor also explained everything to me very thoroughly and I felt comfortable asking questions. I will definitely make this my regular optometrist. I'm very excited to have my new glasses to be able to work more comfortably as I'm in front of screens all day. read more

Dr. Snyder (the son) helped me out, pro bono, 2 days ago and I really appreciate it! I have my own eye doctor in the South Bay but my glasses were about to come apart. Some friends of mine go to Dr. Snyder and I've been lucky enough to have won several Rotary Club teacher grants in the past so I had met Dr. Snyder (the dad) years ago. I took a chance, called and stated that I was not a patient. I asked if I could bring my glasses in just before closing time. The staff was very nice and said yes. Dr. Snyder (son) took the time to fix the earpieces on my glasses, tightened or replaced a spring and asked if he could fix the other pairs I had with me! I said no thanks but was touched by the personal service I got. Great family practice! Happy to spread the word to coworkers who live nearby! Thanks! read more

Been going for years and I love the father son duo. Each one is gifted in their own ways and I have seen both from time to time. I keep going year after year. read more

I've been coming here since I was child. The staff and doctors are so warm and welcoming. The doctors are a father and son that run the place. I've had my fair share of experiencing both their care. They are absolutely wonderful and I always recommend them to my family and friends. They always thoroughly explain my coverage and find ways for me to not spend so much money or explain in detail of what my plan covers. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The receptionist and other staff are also wonderful. They make you feel very appreciated. read more

Dr. Harlan Snyder is the best! It's a family owned office with great parking and I've never needed to wait long. THEY ARE ALSO OPEN SATURDAYS!! for all my fellow friends who work M-F. The front desk staff is also very organized and friendly. I've been coming here for many years and many more to come! read more

This has been my optometry for 3+ years, thank you so much Alex for your help and Dr. Harlan for always taking care of my mom and I.

Very professional, clean and very nice doctor & staff. Dr. Harlan Snyder is very sweet with my two little girls and makes them feel comfortable when getting the eyes examined. Dr answers any questions / concerns we had. Been coming to Snyder Optometry for 2 yrs and will continue to. Thank you read more

The doctors are lovely, but the staff is incompetent and often downright rude. They've even lied to me to cover up their own errors, which isn't okay. read more

I've been a regular patient for many years, for glasses and contacts. Doctors David and Harlan, and their staff provide a great service. They are welcoming and very supportive. They assisted me during my transition to new health insurance provider. They clearly communication the benefits available during my visits. The office offers the latest technology to assess the health of my eyes. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

I highly recommend Snyder Optometry. I was visiting my daughter for Thanksgiving and woke up with a very painful red eye. I called Snyder Optometry and the very friendly, front desk receptionist fit me in for a same day appointment. When I arrived I only had to wait 5 minutes to be seen. Dr. Harlan Snyder was very knowledgeable and compassionate. He diagnosed my problem and gave me a prescription for eye drops. Within 2 days my eye felt much better and the infection was gone. If I lived in the area I would definitely be going back for all my eye care needs. read more

I love this place Mr Snyder, his Son & the staff are amazing very customer service oriented and friendly. Their customers matter to them and it shows in every aspect of the business. I've unsuccessfully been trying to find a general practitioner office with this level of customer service in Alhambra and have failed tremendously. Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen. read more

This place is very awesome. Such a great atmosphere and professional place, I really enjoy going to small businesses like this and getting that one and one attention. I felt right at home when I entered and didnt have to wait too long. The plus of course I just walked here instead of driving ;-) The staff was extremely helpful and even helped me used both my 2 years premium from my vision plan, so helped me pay the lowest possible for eye exam and contacts. Dr Snyder (the Father) was very courteous and funny even during my exam. Cant wait to go again! read more

I LOVE Dr. Snyder's office. I've been coming here for years. :)

The Best service ever, I prefer Dr Snyder's office instead of one of those large chain vision type stores. The office is cute, quaint with a vintage feel. I love going in and feeling like it's the 1950s and when I come out everything will be clean less cluttered and happy. The ladies that work there are super friendly and very helpful, they make you feel welcomed, at ease and as if you're family. I once was working at a children's dentist pedodontist and I got Uveitis, Dr Snyder took one look at me and saved my eye balls, I'm forever grateful. You will LOVE this place ! read more
