My ophthalmologist (Dr. Baum) of the last decade or so retired in 2022. He even took some leave…read moreduring the height of COVID so I saw Dr. Gabry. 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.

So sad that Dr. Baum retired. He was wonderful. I went to a new doctor in this practice who was…read morevery rushed and provided a diagnosis that made no sense. When the symptoms continued after using the over the counter medication recommended, I had to schedule with another practice, this time the doctor who accurately identified the issue.

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.

Upon arrival, the check-in process was smooth and user-friendly thanks to their kiosk system…read more However, the wait time was quite long--I waited almost two hours before being seen, which is my main reason for a lower rating. 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!

My office visit was $135 which is way less than my GP charges my insurance company. He is professional and caring. He never rushes or brushes off questions you may have. He is a Georgetown graduate and has lots of pedigrees adorning the wall of his waiting room. Washingtonian magazine likes him too. He has been on the Top Doctors list many times. 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!

I liked Dr. Baum b/c I got an immediate appointment, & he was so friendly. For 15 minutes, my appt. was $110.

My ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Vu at Retina Associates. They saw me the next day, which was…read morefortunate for me because it was the last day of my summer vacation from work. I did have to wait in the waiting room, but at least it was comfortable. Upon paying my co pay, they gave me a folder with bios on all the doctors - pretty impressive careers! 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.

Our checkup appointments were fully covered by our insurance provided through Medicare and Blue Cross/Blue Shield - Carefirst for employees of the State of Maryland. Following my February 26, 2026 appointment, for the first time ever, I received an invoice of $153.79 citing services not covered by our BC/BS - CareFirst insurance. I called BC/BS and the WEP&S Business Office on 4/29 and 4/30 to ask for an explanation why I received this invoice. I received conflicting information from the people I spoke to in both offices. The BC/BS person referred me to Davis Vision that apparently is now involved in the management our Vision Plan. The DV person informed me WEP&S is not in their network so this is probably the reason why secondary insurance coverage was not provided. I passed this information to the staff person in the WEP&S Business Office who said "there have been changes in insurance coverage, but your invoice stands"; and then hung up on me. I found this response to be very unprofessional. It would have been appreciated if I had been informed in advance of my Feb. 26 appointment that WEP&S no longer takes our secondary insurance. I have cancelled my next and all future appointments at WEP&S since they are no longer in the network of our Vision Plan. Paul from Chevy Chase
