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.

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.
