Heading to the 9th floor, we headed into the Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons. The place is pretty spacious for the waiting room. Speaking of waiting room, there is a place in the back where you can aquire some "Cool, clear water" to drink. There may even be books to read while waiting for your party. Not a bad place to leave some unwanted books too. Second thing I noticed is the 2026 sign for the NEW ZAdministration Fee STARTING at $50.00. Apparently this was started just this year by the Doctors of Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons. What will new year of 2027 bring? My dad told me his insurance for this place use to be taken, but not anymore. Now my dad has to file his own insurance. Blue Cross Blue Shield is one type of insurance one has to file to their own health insurance. Why? Because when Washington Eye Physicians and Surgeons file the insurance claim, it is rejected. This will depend on one's health coverage...feel free to get more information on this with the front desk agent(s). This place seems pretty expensive, but if they get the job done, then the cost is worth it. From what I saw my father's is happy with the outcome. The place's ambience was peaceful and moving like a well oiled machine. I would like to say the staff was helpful and polite. There was a mistake done and the process to correct the problem was handled swiftly. I will continue with a followup if the problem wasn't finalized within two week time spand of today. All in all, today's experience was a good one.

Awake during the 15-minute procedure with only numbing eyedrops and no sedation, I experienced no discomfort of any kind. I needed no pre-operative clearance from my primary care provider and no escort to or from the surgery. I also have much more confidence navigating the hazardous outside world in DC and hope for continued independence as I age thanks to Dr. Weiss. Of great importance to me, Dr. Weiss enabled me to enjoy detail and clarity in the natural world better than ever before. His expertise in ophthalmology, cataract/refractive surgery, and glaucoma care is stellar. Equally valued is his warm, kind, patient, and cheerful personality. My only negative in this rating is that I cannot give him ten stars! Dr. Peter Muehrer

I had…read morebeen doing to another practice for a couple years, but they seemed to be focused more on senior patients and it was a cumbersome process. My experience with Dr. Ephraim was 5-stars across the board! He was timely, there was never any waiting, and it was overall an extremely pleasant, easy process. There was no puff of air (argh! thank goodness), yet he had technology that I've never had used on me from other places that was able to show detailed digital images of my eyes and its cones, etc. He prioritized both the health aspect of my eyes as well as the accuracy and optimization of the prescription which was exactly what I was hoping for. There was no pressure to buy glasses or contacts from them, which I appreciated. Dr. Ephraim was also super-personable and funny, and his staff was efficient and professional. I paid out of pocket because I didn't like the experience I had elsewhere, and it was worth it, but he does take multiple vision insurance providers. Note: I did originally have trouble connecting with them for an appointment and didn't get an answer the first couple times. I called a bit earlier and that helped to finally connect.

If a family trusts them with their youngest, that's saying a lot! Moving onto the rest of the family... they're just wonderful. They take their time to get you what you need and have a lot to offer. I'm so happy to have found them! Dr. Lobaugh along with his associates are wonderful from start to finish. Dr. Lobaugh was very patient and explained every step of the exam, even if it wasn't necessary, but it made the experience so much better than my previous experiences at other optometrists.

Edgar took his time with fitting me into glasses that fit well and would make me a satisfied customer. Bottom line, they're a breath fresh air and know what they're doing!!
