After 13 successful years, SN&N Optico are making a few changes. Successful husband and wife team, Brian and Surali Neville are stepping to one side and handing the day-to-day running of the practice to Tess Cravinho.

Tess, who joined the team back in 2010 when the opticians opened their doors for the first time, will be taking over the reins whilst Brian and Surali ease into their retirement.

Tess is joined by Louise who has been with the company for 10 years and Bruno who joined the team a couple of years back.

“We’ve been planning this for a while”, said Brian. “The testing room is where the most important part of the job takes place and we had to make sure we got the right person for the job. Surali set the bar very high in this respect and replacing her with someone with the same ethos was always going to be a huge task.” This is where Dr. Sergio Gomes steps in.

After interviewing Sergio, it was immediately apparent he was the man for the job. Sergio joined us last November and it was only a week later that Surali felt comfortable enough to leave Sergio to his own devices. “It was a match made in heaven,” explained Surali. “He works in exactly the same way as I work. He’s very gentle and respectful of his patients. They have confidence in him and that is what I was looking for. I am more than happy to let him take on the task and I have the utmost respect for him.”

Brian is keen to point out not only to their existing 6,000 patients but also to new patients that it is business as usual. The same thorough eye examination will be carried out. Diabetes and glaucoma will still be screened for and referrals to the Ophthalmologist will continue.
