My wife and I have been coming to Dr Gore for many years, and have consistent annual exams. He is…read moreextremely attentive and has picked up on a couple of issues between us that required referral to a retna specialist. By catching early and following through I am sure he has preserved our vision as best as could be hoped for. He is incredibly trustworthy and makes great recommendations for lens types as well. I never would not have understood how my progressive lenses would work out without his careful guidance. This is not a "discount" location by any means, but you certainly get what you pay for, and for our vision that is priceless.

Rude and incompetent staff!! I set up an appointment 6 WEEKS…read more in advance and was assured that they took my insurance. The day before the appointment they called and were snippy because I did not fill out the paperwork and was told btw that they did not take my insurance. I don't care how good a doctor is, unless there is an organ transplant involved, if the staff is nasty, I don't have room in my life for them. It is only an eye exam-- I pay less for a hair appointment or cute shoes. I would have gladly paid out of pocket but didn't want to deal with the crusty wench up front.

I'd definitely recommend this place. The Doctor was very patient going through the - option 1 or 2,…read more3 or 4 - process (you know what I'm talking about). I hate feeling rushed out the door so they can get the next person in, only to feel that I'm not seeing as clearly as I should. Didn't feel that way here. The staff was friendly and helpful too. The doc even came next for to Foreyes to help clear up an issue with my insurance. Not the biggest place but at least I dont feel like I'm getting a drive thru eye exam.

Since he doesn't sell any contacts or eyeglasses, he doesn't have a stake in pushing a certain brand. He gave me plenty of samples so I could decide between the disposable contacts and 2 week contacts. He gives a 15 percent discount for those with Tricare. I needed a copy of my bill in order to get the reimbursement from Acuvue for purchasing contacts and the receptionist promptly emailed me a copy. According to his website, Dr. Wong is now full time at his Fredericksburg office. Northern Virginia is missing out!

**Second update, first update and original review below…read more As promised, I always update my reviews. Happy to put this back to 5 stars. My new glasses came in less than a week after the rush order, and the gentleman at the counter (poor guy definitely remembered me) was very helpful and felt really bad about the overall snafu. Glasses are correct now, I can see! Conflict was handled quickly and I'm glad the service level was great despite the obvious frustration! --------- Lord help me...right after my glowing post some craziness happened. I hope it's corrected soon. So I picked up my new, stronger lenses and sunglasses. Upon popping in (with some audible Trouble) my new lenses, I was handed the most painful glasses I've ever worn. They asked ME if my vision changed; can't they look that up? Yes, I say, But this is just extreme as far as changes go and I can't really see well...I was asked a few times by the guys that were there if it was just my eyes needing to adjust and was reassured it would feel awkward and even disorienting for a bit so I took these on good faith and left. I could see much better and easily in the shades, and was hesitant to wear the new regular lenses because it felt like my eyes were crossing and I was on some very strenuous psychedelic trip. After 30 minutes I knew something was very wrong. So I called and said I needed to come back. Lo and behold they take the glasses, place them on what I assume is some kind of machine to test them, they were the entirely wrong prescription I already waited 2 weeks for. THANK GOD I kept the old lenses they offered me, rather than toss them, Or I'd be up creek with no glasses except shades to use. Also, let me just say that I had at this point now worn 3 different scripts in one hour: old, correct, and incorrect. I had a horrible migraine as a result and as someone with MS, vertigo is a commonality and mine was raging as a result. "But your sunglasses are right, right?" I have no clue, they feel different but normal as far as what I expected, should you really be asking ME? I wish they'd taken the time and care to test these out when I said I felt weird instead of sending me on my way. Would've been common sense and saved me now 2 extra trips and more waiting for the correct glasses. A rush I'm told is at least a week, so we will see how fast that means. Coming up on 5 days now. Disappointed that the lackadaisical guys couldn't have made this easier or done more.

I knew that if I needed an eye doctor, I'd love to go to her. Unfortunately, she was far. Fast forward to 2018, it was time for my daughter's InfantSee program. I went ahead and scheduled my son's first eye exam and it was great! She was very patient and even played Trolls song clip to distract him on the eye exam screen. I'm so happy with my experience that I am willing to drive to Manassas just to have her as my kiddos eye doctor. FYI - InfantSee program helps tests babies eyes from 6months-12months old and see if they're are any underlying sight issues that can be detected right away. It's a free program that looks like only two that I know within my area participated in this. Kudos to Dr Wen for being professional and taking care of my children.

I have to see an ophthalmologists so don't do my eye exams here. The day I went in was very busy and only one person working. I wish Jennifer would have acknowledged those who came in but I could see she was helping a customer. I used the wait time to look through the frames and was ready to go when she was ready. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about the lenses and frames, and I was out pretty quickly. I wanted to pick up the glasses as they came in so I met another Jennifer from the Fredericksburg store. And another lady from the Falls Church store but I forgot her name. All very friendly and gave great suggestions about which ones looked good etc. On the second visit I ordered two more. However, I ended up returning one of the four I ordered. Only because they hurt which they didn't do when I originally tried them on. Jennifer returned them without any problems and I never had the hard sell to get another pair. When I picked up my last pair Jennifer remembered me by name and again I was in and out quickly. Thanks Jennifer for your help and I'll be back when I need to get a new pair. Hopefully I won't lose these sunglasses!
