I've been coming to this location for over 10 years. Dr Gerald Thompson is my Optometrist. Now his…read moredaughter Dr Kathryn Thompson is the owner though I still see Dr Gerald Thompson. Plus all of the staff are friendly and helpful. I recently had a problem with my right eye which scared me. I woke up with sticking and tears streaming from my eye and I had problems seeing clearly from that eye. I thought it would soon go away but it didn't, it actually got worse. The following day I went into Thompson Eye Care but Dr Gerald wasn't there so I saw Dr Kathryn. She was super helpful and gentle with my eye. She ran thorough exams and explained everything she was doing. By the time she was through my eye felt a bit better and she called in prescription which I picked up that night and I was told to return the next day. The following day my eye felt better but still had the same symptoms this time I saw Dr Gerald who greeted me and told me Dr Kathryn apprised him of my problem. He ran a couple tests and took photos and he explained what he was seeing. He asked me some questions which made me realize that I had wiped my eye with a tissue and it scratched my eye. This caused the discomfort and an infection. This is the reason I have been coming to this place for my eye care. This father/daughter team is super able to make me feel taken care of. Over the years I have had my eye problems handled effectively, they are both patient and helpful. I actually know a couple of neighbors who also come here and they both love their services.

I am very satisfied with Dr Katherine Thompson and her staff. She gives a thorough exam, without…read morerushing you and the exam Includes blood pressure screening. Dr Thompson listens and reviews my notes from previous years. Tanya and the other staff are all pleasant, knowledgeable, experienced and have worked there for many, many years. I am not an easy patient/customer and I highly recommend this practice.

This facility needs to be under new management as the current must be aware of the issues with how…read morethis business is ran, the lack of empathy and bedside manner from the doctors and the mistreatment of the staff. I had three appointments at this establishment and quickly learned that unless you make an appointment to be one of the first patients you will wait for hours. That is unless you are the first patient of the day and the doctor you are scheduled to see if always late, and I mean late by 45 minutes or more. This was known by the schedulers and the optometrist assistants as when I mentioned I had been waiting for over an hour they stated that the doctor I was scheduled to see is always running late then takes her time eating her breakfast before seeing patients. After my second appointment of being prescribed 4 products three of which I had to purchase from them I realized that this place is a money grab. They want to continue pushing you to purchase their products instead of a resolution. I wanted to be sized for hard contacts as my optometrist had already confirmed I was the ideal candidate for it; however they stated they wished to continue meds. I made the decision after my third appointment that this was not the place for me. I never had an appointment where the waiting room was not full to the point patients were sitting in the hallway. Not the type of establishment I will support.

Mywellness eye appointment today:with Washington eye Institute…read more in Greenbelt Maryland. My appointment was at 2:15 PM Today Tuesday December 2, 2025 I received the standard text a few days prior to confirm my appointment which I did. The day of don't forget to arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment today Text arrived too. I arrived for my appointment promptly at 1:50 PM, which is 25 minutes before my appointment. I checked in at the desk and was told to have a seat some one would call you back soon. I noticed the waiting room was pretty much totally full with almost every chair taken. At 3:30 PM, I was finally called to the back where I was escorted and told to have a seat and they would be with me shortly to take me to the exam room. Apparently the process at Washington eye Institute is similar to waiting for a Disney ride. So approximately 3:45 I was escorted to a room where they began running some Tests and After one Test. I was told I'd have to wait as the next machine was being used. This process took a while. Finally the machine was Available and after that test was told to have another seat in the hall again and they will call me to another room. At approximately 4:20 PM. I was escorted to another room where they performed another eye test and I was given eyedrops to dilate my eyes. Then I was escorted back into the hall and told to wait where other patients were waiting wondering who would be the next lucky patient to go back to another room At this point, I struck up a conversation with other patients whose appointments were at 2 o'clock and 2:15 PM and such patients becoming quite irritated with the long wait. It's interesting. They want you there on time but seem to have no regards for your time once you've checked in and paid your co-pay At 4:50 I was escorted to another room where they told me to have a seat and the doctor would be in shortly. Finally at 4:55 PM the doctor came into the room and proceeded to give me an eye exam. At this point I voiced displeasure and that this had happened before and I thought the office was very unorganized with respect to scheduling and long waiting time. if there was a staff shortage and knew there would be a long waiting period they should' contact the patient to reschedule or offer them the opportunity to reschedule. The doctor was apologetic and told me to see the office manager when I checked out. Upon checking out I asked to speak to the office manager, Her name is Dana and I was told Dana had left earlier which I find interesting that she's not there to try and coordinate the chaos with how late the appointments ran. The lady checking me out, asked me if I had sunglasses since my eyes were dilated. I looked out the window and said well it's dark outside. I don't think I'll be needing them. . The first time for me is ignorance. The second time is stupidity on my part as this isn't the first time I've had this issue with Washington eye Institute running very late. I will be looking for a new ophthalmologist and I Will NOT be patronizing Washington Institute in the future. I am done. In closing, if you like long Disney wait time rides, make an appointment with Washington eye Institute in Greenbelt Maryland.

My review has more to do with this YELP page than the folks at IGlasses. I never actually got…read morethere. I checked out the Yelp info and reviews, which looked very good and promising. I was looking for a specific lens brand, ZEISS, to fill my new eyewear prescription. I called and was a bit surprised to hear "Thanks for calling My Eye Doctor!". Apparently the Yelp info has not been updated. I was placed on hold for approx. 10 minutes. The page states that they indeed do sell ZEISS lenses. I posed this question to the person who answered. I was placed on hold again for several minutes, after having to repeat and spell ZEISS. She had never heard of that brand. After my second wait, I was told that they do not use ZEISS. I guess I'll go elsewhere.

After they took good care of my dad shortly before he died I promised I'd be back the next time needed glasses. A man of my word, just 8 months later (2 weeks ago) I went in for an exam, frames and glasses. This is a fine store, good people, limited product but with the change of affiliation a bit more affordable

The reception staff were polite, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the check-in process smooth and efficient. The doctors were kind, professional, and took the time to ensure everything went well during my visit. Overall, it was a positive experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be returning and would recommend them to others looking for quality eye care.

One improvement I'd suggest is handling insurance checks and paperwork prior to the appointment, as this seemed to be the biggest delay and really set my schedule back. Also, please be aware that the streets around the office are currently undergoing significant construction, which added about 15 minutes to my commute due to blocked roads. I'd recommend giving yourself extra time to account for this if you have an upcoming appointment. That said, the staff were all very friendly and professional, which helped balance out the waiting frustrations. I was seen by Dr. Patel, who provided an exceptionally thorough eye exam and gave me helpful recommendations for my eye care moving forward. Overall, while the wait time and construction were drawbacks, the friendly staff and quality care give me hope that next year's visit will be smoother and more efficient!
