Outstanding technician. Immensely knowledgeable provider. Delightful staff…read more Some optometrists are excellent technicians and refine your prescription to perfection. Some have great knowledge bases and answer questions on eye care with in depth, accurate, and actionable advice. Dr. Glasser is both, and arguably the best at both "sides of the coin" of any optometrist I've visited in my life. Importantly, Dr. Glasser and his entire staff are efficient and pleasant. They honestly try to make your visit as pleasant as possible. In an age where healthcare tends to be actively hostile to the notion of customer service, it is refreshing.

I have no issues with the quality of the examination or my in-person interactions with Dr. Glasser…read more(several appointments over many years). My issue is the way I was treated on my last visit by his assistant after it became apparent to her that I would not be buying frames or lenses from the practice. Her attitude immediately changed when I asked for a prescription. She stood up, went to ring up my copayment, and when she returned with the prescription she remained standing and was abrupt with me when I asked her to explain the change in my prescription, which was in a format I was not familiar with based on what I received in prior visits. I'm an educated person who wants to know how things work and what numbers actually mean, not merely to be told that "any qualified optician will understand" the prescription. I was made to feel stupid and like I was an imposition so I left and fed the prescription into ChatGPT which politely explained it to me, including how a progressive prescription can be translated into single vision distance and reading prescriptions, and what the numbers mean. AI was more polite and patient with me than the assistant. Despite having no issues with the doctor himself, I will not be returning to this practice in the future. The barriers between patients and medical information are evaporating due to AI. Doctors would be well advised to ensure that they and their staffs at least match the courtesy of ChatGPT. Update: In response to Dr. Glasser's comment, all I can say is that it would have taken his assistant less than a minute to sit down and politely explain to me the meaning of the numbers. Regardless of whether I'm dealing with an optometrist or a cardiologist, I take it upon myself to gain a thorough understanding of my heath, which is what ChatGPT provided and the assistant did not. If the doctor doesn't want to take constructive feedback on such a simple point, then I suppose that my decision to go elsewhere is the right one.

Wonderful experience!…read more Dr Lamothe was super patient with me and explained the why behind everything he was doing. I had a redness problem that another eye dr had dismissed as no biggie and Dr Lamothe let me know it was a gland issue and got me a prescription and other remedies to help relieve it. I'll be back!!

I've gone here before (good exp w Lamothe) but haven't had eye exam in at least two yrs . I called…read moreto make an appt and spoke w the office mgr/ receptionist. He had a flat affect and set a negative stage. I said I prob need more than a routine eye exam but was happy to start w that. He lmk that a dry eye test isn't covered by ins (which is fine) and not to expect that I could do both in one visit (also fine). He then said, the appt will be 15 min tops, so it's not a time to ask questions. I said, of course I want to be able to ask a couple questions, espec bc of eye irritation lately. He said, "I see your insurance is (x) and that only pays us like $60 per visit. We can't give patients longer than 15, we'd go out of business" (!) I couldn't believe it. The rudeness and the gall of mentioning my coverage resulted in poor profit for them. I suggested he NOT say those things to new or returning patients and he said he was trying to manage expectations, that patients "always complain" they want to be seen longer but it's not doable. Talk about poor patient relations/ customer service. I realize what the medical system is up against w insurance is rough, but never has a public-facing clinic employee been so dissuading about the care their provider provides. I can't NOT recommend this place enough; take your business to an office that will value it.

The prescription sunglasses they made for me, at substantial expense, are an optical mess. Wavy lines, visible color prism, ill-fitting--unbearable. Gonna try another place this time now that I have a baseline.​

I have…read morenever had any eye problems, 20-20 visions, generally pretty lucky when it comes to vision health. However, earlier this ear I ended up getting Uveitis and my Urgent Care referred me to Dr. Greer. He fit me in last minute on a Saturday, thoroughly explained what was going on with my eye and how we would fix it. He checked in on me the next day and several days after to make sure I was feeling better. Despite being an emergency appointment and requiring medicine, his costs were incredibly reasonable. Then once again, last Friday night I was accidentally stabbed in the eye with a straw and scratched my cornea up pretty bad. My roommate called Dr. Greer at 7:30 in the morning, he answered, then because we couldn't get to his office due to the women's march he MADE A HOUSE CALL! Literally this man is a god-sent. I was such a mess and so uncomfortable and in 15 minutes he fixed my life. Again, thorough follow up and very reasonable costs. 10 stars for this man.

I was looking for somewhere else and came across Metropolitan Óptical on Zocdoc. The staff was incredibly friendly. I was greeted as soon as I arrived.

My appointment was quick and efficient, but I also learned things about my eys that I hadn't known before. I also have a lot of anxiety with my eye, but they helped me breathe through the various tests that often are a challenge for me. Every staff member I interacted with was fantastic.

While getting ready March 2 I realized that I failed to pack my contacts (I wear daily lenses) which made me immediately panic as I was scheduled to be away from home for a week. I have never forgotten something so important. I looked for an eye doctor in close proximity to my hotel and found Washington Eye Doctors. I spoke to Jim, and he immediately called me as I was on the verge of tears. He allowed me to come to the office with my prescription and gave me a weeks worth of samples. I honestly do not know what I would've done without his kindness, professionalism, and human compassion. I am recommending this practice to all of my friends in the area and have asked my doctor to recommend this practice anyone moving to the area.

Unfortunately there is construction going on in the area, so it was difficult to spot the location, outside of the small flags on the exterior. Upon entering the store, we were immediately greeted, which I dug. However, I was less than pleased with the amount of people in the waiting area, which is why I chose to stand outside for the majority of the appointment/visit. I did notice that they closed/locked the door at a certain point-I'm assuming that was due to the amount of folk in the waiting room. My grandmother's appointment was scheduled for 10:40a, she may have been seen about 30 minutes after, and that is being generous. There was sanitizer available upon entry, and an area for someone to check temperatures; although, our temperatures were not checked. There were several walls of glasses available to try on, but it did not appear that they were sanitized in between customers.
