Now for the past two years I have been seeing Dr Gupta. All three doctors are gems. I've never had a problem, making an appointment or any problems with the receptionist. I have found that making an appointment at 8:30 in the morning is the key to getting in and out quickly. They really do a thorough job with all the routine checks for a standard eye exam. My mom has glaucoma, so it's important for me to keep a check on my eye health. I've got that covered here for a small copay with my insurance.

I would say that service was four stars, but tech issues would be three stars…read more I reached out to this practice about two hours before it opened through its online intake form. Basically, the intake form was to ensure that a patient's insurance was accepted. Fortunately for me, someone from the office called me within 10-15 minutes of the office opening, and I was able to secure a same day appointment for my eye situation. Upon arriving to the Silver Spring location, I saw that the office has a couple of kiosks that patients must use to check it. Ok, I get that on paper this probably seemed like a good idea. Also, nowadays, I think businesses want to show forward-thinking by incorporating technology into everything (whether it's needed or not). However, the problem (IMO) with using a kiosk at an eye care center is that many patients (like me) probably will not be able to see too well. Also, many elderly patients probably will not have the ability (and patience) to use these sorts of machines. In fact, while waiting for my turn, I noticed that the workers at the front desk had to help most of the patients with the kiosks. The doctor that helped me out was pretty nice and very compassionate regarding my situation. Fortunately for me, my eye issue was pretty straightforward and required very minimal medical intervention. Phew. While preparing to leave, the doctor sent my prescription to my local pharmacy and provided a paper copy of the 'script'. Unfortunately, when I arrived to my pharmacy about 45 minutes after my visit, the pharmacy had not received the script. No worries because I had the paper copy script as a backup. Even the doctor mentioned that they gave me the paper copy because they weren't sure if the prescription would go through electronically. Unfortunately, the doctor did not include their printed name or their license number, so the pharmacy could not fill the prescription. Because of this situation, the pharmacy and I had to call the eye care center several times to have the prescription sent to the pharmacy. I will say the folks from the eye center who helped me with this technical issue were very nice, but it was kind of annoying that a process that's supposed to take a few minutes ended up taking an hour. Perhaps, this tech situation is not common for the eye center and I was unlucky to experience it.

Parking can be a pain with the construction going on down the street that takes away many of the metered spots. There is a lot behind the office that charges $5 for the first two hours, but it fills up quick. I had an 8:30 appointment so I had no problem. I plan to stay with Dr. Baum. He is worth every penny!

My retina exam was very thorough, with high tech equipment, and lots of blasts of light into my eyes. In the end, there was nothing to be concerned about. Dr. Vu explained everything, and sent my results to my referring doctor. My only tip is to park on the street or in the garage kitty corner from the Montgomery Center (Both are currently under construction). You'll save money, except if arrive after five pm, them it is free.

It brought an endearing and warm quality to this facility, demonstrating that doctor's office can be a fun place to visit! More importantly, the next important aspect is the significantly short wait times. So far I have been here where the services rendered took less than an hour. You're in and out. Very swift and streamlined process. Dr. Katira is also fantastic. Smart, professional, great ability to explain complex medical terms and procedures in a digestible format for the ordinary person truly makes a difference in getting language access to equitable healthcare.

Not a bad place to leave some unwanted books too. Second thing I noticed is the 2026 sign for the NEW ZAdministration Fee STARTING at $50.00. Apparently this was started just this year by the Doctors of Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons. What will new year of 2027 bring? My dad told me his insurance for this place use to be taken, but not anymore. Now my dad has to file his own insurance. Blue Cross Blue Shield is one type of insurance one has to file to their own health insurance. Why? Because when Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons file the insurance claim, it is rejected. This will depend on one's health coverage...feel free to get more information on this with the front desk agent(s). This place seems pretty expensive, but if they get the job done, then the cost is worth it. From what I saw my father's is happy with the outcome. The place's ambience was peaceful and moving like a well oiled machine. I would like to say the staff was helpful and polite. There was a mistake done and the process to correct the problem was handled swiftly. I will continue with a followup if the problem wasn't finalized within two week time spand of today.
