I tore my retina and the doctor here fixed it the same day, so very happy about that and no…read moreproblems since. However, when I had a previous tear some years ago, the other practice scheduled at most one follow up visit. This doctor asked me to come in 3-4 times following the tear to follow up. This seemed excessive. It turns out this practice is owned by a private equity group, which I suspect has pressured the doctors into scheduling more appointments than are really needed by patients. Then a few weeks ago I get a bill from a collections agency. I checked my records and I had not only already paid these bills, but paid them twice in error because the Retina Group did not credit my previous payment. I have called the billing department to get a refund, but have not been able to reach a person after repeated attemps.

I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Howard Weiss and I couldn't be more pleased with…read morethe entire experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Weiss took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer all of my questions, and put me completely at ease. The surgery produced excellent results. What impressed me most was not only Dr. Weiss's surgical skill but also the compassion and attentiveness shown throughout the process. The follow-up care was excellent, and I always felt supported. I highly recommend Dr. Weiss to anyone considering cataract surgery. His expertise, kindness, and dedication truly make a life-changing difference.

My wife and I have been patients of WEP&S for a number of years for our Annual Vision Checkup. We…read morehave appreciated the services provided to us. 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

Dr. Johnson gave my husband shots of Avastin in his eyes for macular degeneration.

Billing department was difficult to work with to receive our refund, though I did eventually receive it.

I came to their office for a consultation for cataract surgery and was given 2 hours of tests which…read moreconfimed my need for the surgery. I met with Dr. Shah who also examined me to reconfirm. She told me that the next step was for the surgery scheduling department to call me. I never heard from anyone and after 2 weeks, I called to complain. Today, I finally I heard from the scheduler who apologized saying that they have been very busy. if I hadn't complained I doubt that anyone would have called me to schedule the procedure. The scheduler then asked me when I could come back for measurements which was news to me since the doctor never mentioned me needing more testing as I just needed a standard lens. I asked why they didn't do all the testing at my initial appointment and the explanation made absolutely no sense. That was strike number 2 for me. I have requested my medical records and will find another doctor. Surgery can be a scary thing and it's hard to have confidence when an office is obviously too busy to deal with patients professionally.s

I suffer from Meibomian gland dysfunction. The ophthalmologists I saw diagnosed it as resulting…read morefrom the many years of my lagophthalmos that permitted my meibomian glands to atrophy. After I saw an oculoplastic surgeon who performed several unsuccessful surgeries to treat my lagophthalmos, I decided to find someone who would approach my condition with a different strategy. I extensively researched oculoplastic surgeons practicing in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia area. My research led me to Dr. Zatezalo. From my first consultation with Dr. Zatezalo, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is kind, smart, and compassionate along with experienced, talented, and creative in surgical procedures. He clearly explained to me that I needed full thickness skin grafts (FTSG) to functionally improve the operation of my eyelids. I had read about eyelid skin grafts from various Internet websites that described it as a last resort because of its complexity and routinely poor cosmetic outcome. Recovery may take up to a year or more before the grafts blend into the rest of your face and even then, they are usually a different texture and slightly off color. Dr. Z exerted no pressure on me to have the procedure. Deep down inside I knew I needed it. I had to do something as I could not go on living the way I was, and yet, I was afraid of what I would look like after a FTSG on my lower eyelids. I was using eyedrops nonstop during the day, and at night I would awaken every few hours in pain from the dryness and had to instill dry eye ointment. I wore sunglasses indoors because my eyes barely tolerated room lights or being out in the sunlight. I was miserable and my quality of life had gotten so poor, I did not want to leave my home. Dr. Zatezalo was very patient with me and again very honest. I had read many of his patient reviews of how he gave back his patients' lives through corrective surgery. I decided to move forward with full thickness skin grafts as Dr. Zatezalo recommended. In my case, it took approximately six months before the grafts started to blend in well with the surrounding skin and not be noticeable. My level of comfort improved immediately after the surgery as I now had more skin in my lower eyelids to help my eyes close completely. I no longer needed to use eyedrops and ointment like before. I was also able to tolerate artificial and natural light without sunglasses. I had the FTSG surgery in 2018. Today, people don't know I had it unless I point it out to them. The Zatezalo Group is located in a beautiful and modern office with easy parking access. Amelia and Kimmy, Dr. Zatezalo's staff, are super friendly, efficient, and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Zatezalo to anyone who needs functional repair or desires cosmetic enhancement of their eyes. Thanks to him, the quality of my life has improved greatly. He really is a remarkable doctor and person.

Would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
