Our eye doctor referred my husband to DC Retina when he started experiencing unusual optical…read moresymptoms. DC Retina was able to schedule my husband on the same day he called. After examination Dr. Adams said that my husband had a tear on the retina in the right eye and a "scratch" on the retina in the left eye. He recommended surgery immediately on the right eye. Though Dr. Adams said the left eye could be monitored over time, my husband elected to have the surgery on that eye the next day. Even though they squeezed in his appointments, there was not a long wait at all. After the surgeries, Dr. Adams told my husband it was good he'd come in right away as he could have suffered permanent vision loss had he waited too long. Dr. Adams was thorough and explained the procedure carefully and even though it was a first- time emergency appointment, my husband was never rushed and felt comfortable during the whole experience. The office itself is extremely nice and the staff is efficient and friendly. The waiting room has the most comfortable chairs, a Nespresso coffee machine, and a bowl with Godiva chocolates. There is plenty of parking around the medical center where DC Retina is located. Hopefully you will not need a retina specialist, but if you do I highly, highly recommend Dr. Adams at DC Retina.

Dr. Pappas himself is amazing - adept at diagnosing and treating extremely delicate areas of the eye and retina, calm when explaining procedures to nervous patients (like me!) and willing to take as much time as needed to answer questions and conduct follow up visits. If you have high myopia or are looking for a retina doctor to monitor or treat any tears, holes or retina issues, I highly recommend you call Dr. Pappas. Gold standard medical provider.

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.

The nurse asked us all of the questions and took detailed notes. The dr came in only to spend more time asking the same questions. When she was explaining the diagnosis I was asking questions.

Why be in this profession if you cannot be patient and educate your patients?!?! Do not recommend dr gulati. Do recommend dr woo. Practice overall has long wait times. Nurses and front desk helpful.

I followed his post-operative instructions to the letter. I also decided to regularly take eye health supplements. Fourteen years later, I needed cataract surgery in the same eye and then 8 months after that I needed a laser capsulotomy for a secondary cataract that developed again in the same worrisome eye. After all of these procedures, I'm now getting 20/20 vision in that eye with use of prescription glasses which I always needed for driving. I still see Dr. Melki on a regular basis to be sure all is well.

My eye doctor immediately called Dr Melki's office to schedule an emergency appointment. Dr Melki was operating in VA and was late getting back to MD. He called and asked me to meet him at his office at 8:00am Saturday morning (the next day); where he repaired the detached retina. Since that time I've had several larger surgeries on my right eye.

The directions for finding the office aren't not good. The directions for parking aren't very clear. If you have to get your eyes dilated, I do not recommend parking in the garage.

Phillips -read all the reviews, considered his specialty, and location and of course took our insurance. Tic, tic toc..all the boxes and reviews met my expectstions. Called and got an appt for the same day I called - at his Clinton, location where he was ate ending that day. I got there late and a little blind bc I missed my exit like twice LOL. I was even preparing myself to not be seen for my tardiness but I was seen relatively soon after I completed my paperwork. The check in staff was very professional, the office was clean, quiet, and comfortable -there were even snacks in the "inner" wait room. I met with Dr. Phillips- he was personable and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I was sure I'd found my MD eye specialist. My followup visit was to the Bowie office which was closer. I WAS ON TIME :) The Bowie office too was inviting, clean. And quiet. The staff here, too, were patient, they are working to smooth somemhiccups and train new personnel, but in all it was a really great experience. Again I met Dr. Philip and he was he same "on point" thoroigh self. The office is set in what may be a new office building space. The building lobby is cool.
