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!

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.

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
