JOHN LAMOTHE, OD - WASHINGTON EYE ASSOCIATES REVIEWS
Dr. Lamothe is simply the most professional eye doctor I've had over the past 20 years seeing a different doctor almost every year. I've visited him twice now. He's polite, professional, informative, and sensitive to the unique needs I've had during both visits. He gives you the feeling that he truly values your concerns and provides expert consultation in return.
Dr. Lamothe is the best eye doctor I have ever had. He really cares about your overall heath and how it relates to your vision. His staff is also great. Love the office environment and great location just a block away from Metro.
Best ophthalmologist experience I’ve ever had. No wait, so I was in and out quickly, but the exam itself was very thorough. The doctor and staff are super friendly and great at explaining things. I’ve definitely found my new eye doctor in dc.

SABA AYALEW, OD - METROPOLITAN OPTICAL REVIEWS
Dr. Ayalew and her entire staff are fantastic. I switched to her practice a few years ago when my previous doctor retired and have been incredibly happy ever since. She is thorough, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. I have an eye condition that requires regular monitoring and correction and she has helped me understand the challenges, solutions and what to expect as I age. Everyone in the office is knowledgeable, helpful and thorough too. In fact, I raved about how great my first experience was so much that my wife started going to her too. Now she won't go anywhere else either. Top notch!
I had been experiencing significant changes to my eyesight that in truth I was dreading a visit to the optician which was why I had delayed for so long. Dr. Saba Ayalew however made the whole process feel less intimidating. With her and her team's care, examination and advice she was able to identify that my prescription had been too strong and a simple adjustment would be half the battle. She offered advise on eye care, and long term eye health which was very much appreciated. Normally, I make my own frame selections, but at Metropolitan, the advise of Emebet Ayalew, took the humming and hawing out of making a selection. She was quick to give me great options. I walked out with 2 pairs of new glasses on order, and appreciated their quick turnaround as well their exacting standards to make sure that the lens were produced to fit my face perfectly. Much gratitude for the proffesionalism and care. A definite recommend.
Dr. A is awesome. She takes time to listen to what I think is going on vision wise, and performs a thorough exam. I've seen Dr. A several years now and I trust her with my vision. The front staff is always top notch. I receive excellent recommendations on frames from them, and always feel like they are taking extra steps to ensure I am happy with their service.

STEPHEN GLASSER, OD, FAAO REVIEWS
Go here! Had a top notch experience, today. Dr. Glasser's office ran on time (no wait at all!). Dr. Glasser was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. After a short exam, he knew my eyeballs better than me!!! The Op. Asst. did a skillfull intake and later helped me select my first pair of reading glasses (I was near overwhelmed with the choices, but she calmly observed what I seemed to gravitate toward and guided me to a pair of glasses that I love!). The Op.Asst. also explained ALL of the insurance details. NO hidden costs. Full transparency. Dr. GLASSER and his staff are the only ones for me moving forward. Awesome experience. Excited for the glasses I didn't know I needed until Dr. Glasser humbly demonstrated: "What difference do you feel when I put this in front if your eyes.
Love Dr. Glasser and his staff! Dr. Glasser is incredibly kind, warm, and knowledgeable; I think I have the correct prescription for the first time in my life thanks to him. And everyone else I worked with was kind and patient with me while I picked out frames and had the lenses in my existing glasses replaced.
Can't praise Dr. Glasser and his office enough. Dr. Glasser is a great listener and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. Always quick getting in and out, and centrally located in downtown DC. Highly recommend!
