Dr. Renaud saved my eye sight. Recently, I had an eye emergency during the night. I called her…read morepractice after midnight, to leave a message for an appointment. To my surprise, Dr. Renaud answered at 2:00am. I immediately apologized, but she stayed on the phone consulting with me and determined it was in fact a medical emergency, she instructed me to see a retina specialist right away and so I did first thing in the morning. I was treated right away, saving my eye sight. Dr. Renau. is my favorite MD ever. Her patients are her first priority. She has taken care of my eyes for years. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellence in eye care.

I usually don't give glowing reviews, but Dr. Renaud gets one. Over the past 25 years that I have…read morebeen managing my eye condition, I have been a patient at some famous places like the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins and the Baylor College of Medicine. Unfortunately, they had me on unnecessary medications with negative side effects. Doctor Renaud fixed my eye maintenance routine, which got me off of those medications. I never thought that would be possible, and now my condition also feels unquestionably better. I would also like to comment that Doctor Renaud is very good at getting the right prescription for eye glasses. In the past, an eye doctor has arrived at prescription numbers for me, would perhaps do a quick check, and then that's it. But Dr. Renaud was much more thorough, and now I see comfortably close and far - the best prescription in memory. My final comment is that she is easy to get in touch with, so I have been happy with the service side of her practice as well.

Also, given some recent diagnoses, I wanted someone with significant training and experience. At my first appointment Dr. Amy was great and so were her medical assistants and other staff. They were organized and pleasant, and Dr. Amy was efficient and thorough. She's not rushing me into cataract surgery until it's really needed. She happily gave me all the measurements I need to order glasses online. I like that her front office is spacious and sunny and very convenient to the VA Square Metro neighborhood. There is a pay parking lot and also metered street parking. Note that she doesn't participate in vision benefit plans (which I don't have) and her fee for refraction (new prescriptions) was less than what I paid elsewhere.

I never write reviews but this experience still doesn't sit well with me:…read more I'm sitting in one of Dr. Kotecha's exam rooms with blurry vision in one of my eyes waiting for the doctor. While I'm sitting there with my eyes dilated, a staffer comes in and says that there was a mistake and they do not take my insurance. They confirm with the doctor after some confusion that they do not take my insurance (even though they said they took my insurance on the phone when I made the appointment) and they tell me I will have to either pay out of pocket or imply that i could leave. They eventually agree to waive the out of pocket cost after about 20 minutes of waiting. But all was fine because I could see the doctor and they said they'd pay. However, during my exam, I felt that Dr. Kotecha essentially rushed me out the door. After taking a look at my eyes, she told me she couldn't help me and had no idea what the source of my blurry vision was. I was probably with her for about ten minutes. She even answered one of my questions about whether it was effective to use blue light filtering glasses to reduce eye strain with "couldn't hurt right" and I was out the door. A few weeks later, I receive a bill from her office which shows that they did bill my insurance which did pay. I was in network after all. So, I sat in her exam room, with my eyes dilated, waiting for Dr. Kotecha, trying to work with her staff on an insurance issue that they apparently made up because she wanted $180 dollars and not $90--which is the sum of what my insurance paid her office and what I paid her office as part of my cost share.

When I asked why that hadn't been communicated to patients who had lab orders in she said verbatim "I don't know what information did or did not go out to patients about this." Clearly since I was there for labs, none did and she couldn't have cared less. She didn't even offer other options until I asked so where can I go and then shoved a list of places in my hand. I reminded her they need information patients if this and left. I went to one of the other locations and ended up having to pay $9 for parking at the lab location.
