    provided script from my ophthalmologist. glasses took 2 weeks, about normal. got text they were…read moreready. Never occurred to me that a retail optician would be closed at 5 pm M_F and on completely closed on saturday, so i went on saturday. (travel time one hour!). picked up days later at 830 am on a weekday, delaying arrival to work by also an hour. then glasses made very wrong-- total failure to include the 2.5 prism in each lens, causing me to see double while driving, rather dangerous. obviously didnt bother to check prescription on the lenses before giving to me. Brought them back a few days later (while wearing old ones) when i could manage to get there when they were open, verified by checking lens (30 second task) . sent them to remake. then lost them in transit. finally got them again. inside of a week, one lens fell out while working quietly at desk. i put it back in, seated it properly, tightened both screws very tightly. two days later, same lens fell out while i was biking. same day the other lens fell out. inserted both properly, seated clearly in the groves. switched to old glasses again. took them back (another hour travel!). was told that i just didnt seat them properly (i had, they managed to unseat themselves in 24 hours) asked for refund. will see if i actually get it so: 2 months, 6 trips, hours wasted in travel time and work vacation time AND no glasses. Back to Visionworks in Rockville, MD lousy parking, but at least their glasses work.

    I made an appointment online. arrived on time to be told I had no appointment. the receptionist…read moresaid "sometimes it doesn't work to make an appointment online". If they know that, why didn't they fix it or remove that function on their web site. I won't be going back.

    I don't review often but wanted to add one here because both my wife and I made eye exam…read moreappointments this year, (it was time) and after going through the initial eye tests, checks and pictures (without dilation), we then saw Gabriela Miller, O.D. for review, discussion and additional testing. We were both happy with what she did, and how everything was explained clearly. Prescription eyewear selection followed and that was fairly smooth as well. I thought the frames selection was somewhat limited but I don't have anything to compare to currently. Overall happy with everything, and will return in the future.

    Dr. Rubin is an amazing ophthalmologist whom I've been seeing for eye exams for many years…read more However, in the last couple of years, there have been changes in the office and it starts to feel different. I went in again and there was this one lady at the front desk who was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I approached the front desk to request a printout of my contact lens prescription as suggested by Dr. Rubin, she insisted I had to pay for both a contact lens exam and a glasses exam, even though I hadn't requested a glasses exam, and my glasses prescription was still valid from four months ago. I paid, but requested explanations. Despite explaining my insurance coverage and situation, she remained adamant, refusing to listen and even declined to provide my prescription print out, citing distraction from billing inquiries. She then callously added, "You contact your insurance. If nothing else I can help you. You can be out of here." When I suggested Dr. Rubin come out to explain, the lady at the front desk callously retorted, "Dr. Rubin doesn't own the business. It is what it is; you have to pay for two exams." This further added to my disappointment and frustration, as it seemed to dismiss my concerns entirely. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, I requested Dr. Rubin's presence myself, and he and another front desk staff member clarified the billing procedure and explained changes in my insurance policy. Despite this, I still questioned the necessity of double exams, especially given the recent glasses exam. While Dr. Rubin is excellent, the behavior of one team member left me feeling disrespected and dismissed, tarnishing the overall experience.
