This practice is very good. My only complaint is I think they do so much business, the patient is left in the dark at times. Also.for this practice and every practice out there. SPEAK UP! Your waiting room is full of seniors. We are trying to hear you through masks and screens. We cannot understand what you are saying. Don't get frustrated with us. Speak clearly, slowly, and with a little volume. Thank you!

After suffering from dry eyes for years, I suffered bilateral corneal abrasions during a surgery in 12/2020. I found See Clearly and Dr Tagayun through a recommendation of a close friend. Dr Tagayun has quite literally changed my life! I came in with bottles of drops and ointments. She took one look at me and suggested Tear Duct Plugs to help the dryness.

I was skeptical (no other doctor had ever mentioned it) but I trusted her. The tear duct plugs have changed my life! I still take Xiidra and I have to get the tear duct plugs replaced if they fall out, but my eyes are so amazing! The dryness is gone. I can tell when one falls out bc the immediate dryness (and my misery) returns. Dr Tagayun is incredibly caring, attentive, thorough, and such a pleasure!

She is a treasure! So, thank you Dr Tagayun for helping me get much needed relief when other doctors didn't give me this option. I am eternally grateful! (The staff are incredible too and everyone at this office is wonderful!)

After making a full recovery in 1 week from the PRK surgery these folks did, I got to give them credit. Everyone at this company takes care of you - from the admin folks, to the surgery counselors, surgery technicians, and the surgeons themselves. I was that needy customer who asked a lot from these people throughout the process for things like an expedited timeline, technical documentation (for job related reasons), and a couple other things--and everything I asked for, they gave me and I can't thank them enough.

The quality of their surgery and quality of their people and equipment is top tier and you don't want to cheap out on something as important as your eyes. Dr. Baveja and her surgery technician Sam plus one other lady who held my head for comfort did an amazing job and I am coming up on 20/15 vision now. Can't thank them enough! The surgery gave me anxiety in the moment, but they did and said all the correct things to make it go smoothly.

I really felt like I was in good hands when i laid down under the laser machine. The surgery counsler Brandon Martin was a key player for me in getting this expedited timeline situated. That man is professional and extremely understanding when it came for planning and coordinating this surgery. He answered all of my questions and got me all the prescription documents for my eye drops no matter how complicated they got (i went back and fourth between the Costco pharmacy and my health provider for best prices on the drops - hint, use Costco trust me) his patience in doing so was really helpful.

I am now in the follow up appointment phases post operation and recovery and each time I go in, they tell you what and when to do things at home and explain it in such a fool proof way to ensure you're all set. Im so glad I choose this place for such a delicate surgery.

What an amazing facility. I saw Dr Dawn Williams for my eye exam. She is amazing. She and other nurses that I worked with during my initial and follow-up exam were very precise and thorough with everything.

DO NOT WASTE YOUT TIME! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! This company has untrained unprofessional people at the front desk who are simply rude and lack skills communicating with patients. Not only that, but they also talk about policy and having to follow policy, so their philosophy is POLICY OVER PATIENT. My mother who is going on 94 years old, had an appointment and arrived 2 minutes past the "grace period" due to the infamous convoy on 495.

As we walked in rushing to inform, we were there, the front desk person just yelled "you're late! Can't see you. You must reschedule". She did not even give the opportunity does not have the initiative to ask the doctor if she could see her. When we talked to the manager, he insisted that they had a policy, and it was particularly important. Well, my mother also has a policy of not paying exorbitant fees for services not rendered. We have contacted the insurance companies regarding a total disregard for the patient and alerting them of a possible charge for services not rendered.

Dr. Williams is the best. Takes her Time to thoroughly examine you in And actually listens to the patient. The office is nice as well they have very updated technology. Based on Dr. Williams alone I'm giving this office a 5.

I've been trying to get treatment for my eye for years. Nobody seemed to be able to understand or treat it. The doctors and staff here are amazing. Compassionate, patient, professional and knowledgeable. If you have serious eye problems, I wouldn't go anywhere else in the DMV. Also love the diversity of the doctors and staff. This is a practice that sets the gold standard.

I highly recommend you find another Eye Dr that is not See Clearly Vision. I went there years ago and they insisted that I had a stigmatism when my other eye dr that I have been seeing for years said I didn't. They put the stigmatism lenses in my frames and I had to have them reordered after the error. I have not worn the glasses since and they wouldn't refund me.

I went back to see clearly a year after the incident hoping that things had gotten better and they told me that my insurance would cover my appointments but I am being billed over $100.00 for my vision appointment. They insist that they didn't tell me I was fully covered when in fact they did. They are incompetent, unprofessional and the last place you want to go to get your eyes checked.

Their equipment is old also and you strain your neck trying to read the numbers/letters since there is no place for your chin on the equipment. It is almost impossible to get an accurate prescription with equipment that moves as you are trying to read the screen hence why they tried to tell me I had a stigmatism and why they messed up my prescription both times I was there.

They were so rude to me and the billing person screamed back at me instead of apologizing that their employee told me wrong. Do not go to this Eye Dr. There are so many other places that offer better customer service and a better overall experience.

Dr. Williams and the team at See Clearly have been both kind and professional. The friendly environment makes one feel immediately seen and taken care of. I particularly greatly appreciated Dr. Williams explaining everything very clearly and patiently. She is both very competent and very sympathetic with endless patience for questions and concerns.

I had felt dismissed at another eye doctor who basically told me to "deal with it" when I was having severe allergic reactions to an eye medication. Having had such an awful experience at another practice, it is a huge relief to be treated with respect, credulity and care. Thank you very much Dr. Williams!

I am terribly disappointed, I had and eye accident, the ER in VHC sent me to follow up with Dr Tagayun, Christine and said that she is expecting to see me the next day, i called her office, they said if i want see that doctor i have to wait 2 to 3 days, end up seeing another Doctor, went their, they called me into a room, a guy who was named Sam, the technician who does the eye exam before a doctor was very disappointed when he saw me, he want to see another person and was arguing with the guy who brought me into the room, they kept switching me from room to room, in the end when the doctor saw me, said follow up 1 week, the front desk said that the schedule is fully booked for next week and have to wait 2 weeks. non professional staff, after my follow up appointment i will never go back again.

AVOID this practice until they work out the kinks from the merger or acquisition they went through in November 2021. The communication systems are nonfunctional and the office is chaotically overbooked. I'm in the waiting room for an appointment that is 2 hours behind. I would walk away except that this is a post surgical follow-up. I was unable to reach my doctor for over a week for a pressing presurgical question. Dr Tagayun and Dr Wisecarver seem competent and attentive, and every staff member I've dealt with seems decent and reasonable, but the terribly managed system overall makes me feel I've put my eyes into the wrong hands.

I don't really know how to evaluate an eye surgeon. For example, the website has a contact form and an online payment form as well as a patient portal, and none of these systems were functioning at all up until today. Look at the website to see for yourself if they are fixed. I mentioned this to maybe eight or ten people in the practice (including one practice manager when I was complaining) as long ago as October 29 and up until today and each time I got the same surprised "oh, sorry, I didn't know" which means there was no internal memo or discussion about this.

The business management exists to support the clinical staff, but evidently there is nobody in charge. This practice needs to operate at 50% capacity until they get past the merger and get their systems working. The clinical staff need to realize that they are allowing management to create malpractice liability and rise hell. Also: after my surgery yesterday, I expected to get an emergency contact number in case I had complications, but the procedure is to wade through the main voicemail tree.

Not good. I THINK I'm getting good care, but this does not create confidence. This is the first bad review I've put online about anything. In part im curious to see if anyone at the practice will notice.

The staff at see clearly vision is amazing! My tech Sophia was so thorough and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything that she was doing. She was patient and understanding to the fact that I was in pain and did everything she could to make my visit quick and painless.

This was my first time at See Clearly Vision and I just have to say their customer serivice was great right from the start. They have an amazing staff that was so helpful, courteous and kind. I will mention Stephanie was super helpful from the beginning as I actually got a little lost finding the place and she guided me over the phone. From the moment I walked in, she welcomed me and was super friendly.

The optical technician, Regina, was also very kind. It was my first time getting contacts so I struggled a little as she was teaching me how to put them on but she was very patient and helped me throughout the process. Overall, It was a great experience, could not ask for a better appointment!

Had an amazing experience here as the staff was friendly and tentative. I was quickly brought back to my appointment and was able to finish everything within 20 minutes! Had no issues with paperwork or billing either. Thien and Mitchell helped me and were awesome! Would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends!

See Clearly staff is absolutely one of the best. My time there was incredible, from start to finish. One staff member who stood out was Mitchell. He was able to get me an appointment quick and was so nice when going over the clinical trials. Definitely referring friends and family.

I had to get a cornea cross-linking procedure done to treat keratoconus that has been developing in my eyes. When I went in to get the treatment done on my right eye, I was very concerned. But the guy who performed the operation, Sam, was awesome. He made sure I was comfortable and relaxed, and made the whole thing fly by before I knew. I'm looking forward to going back to now do my left eye. Thanks guys!

I had been having problems with severe dry eyes for several years and had gone to many doctors about the issue including specialists. None of them were able to help with the problem, and some were denying there was a problem. I saw Dr. Combs and she was knowledgeable, helpful, and empathetic. She was quickly able to determine the issue and find the right treatment to finally provide relief.

The front desk staff are helpful, cheerful, and knowledgeable as well. One visit Dr. Combs was running a little late, and a staff person came to the waiting room to inform me. I've never had that courtesy at any physician's office! The provide a vast array of services, from LASIK to eyeglasses to medical problems with the eyes. By far the best ophthalmology/optometry office I've ever been to. I'm now a loyal patient!

Scheduled an appointment for an eye surgery and the appointment date was always getting rescheduled to either a later time or earlier time. When the stopped rescheduling We went to the surgical center to finally get the surgery done. Apparently, Dr. McCabe has quit the surgical center out of the blue and the front office said it got canceled when we never received it. Im not sure what kind of personal business she has but I'm hoping for a better doctor next time so they don't waste peoples time.

I had a great experience every time I was there for my multiple consultations about lasik. Really friendly staff all around that answered all my questions and concerns to put me at ease about getting eye surgery. I felt that they were very knowledgeable and thorough. Brandon was who I saw after each appointment to go over everything, was very nice and easy to talk to. Also Jean was very helpful when I was checking out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone for their eye needs.

I went to the Tyson's Corner location on two different occasions for a Keratoconus evaluation and I had the pleasure of meeting the Surgical Counselor, Brandon Martin who has been super helpful since my first visit. He is such a great person who connects with patients in a very pleasant manner which really made me feel valued. I have received a very professional service along with an outstanding hospitality. Mr. Brandon, if you every get a chance to see this, I would like to thank you for all that you have done for me as I prepare for my Cross-Linking surgery. Keep up the good work!

If I could give them a ZERO rating I would. my recent encounter with front staff, was horrible and would never go back to this pace or recommend them! Staff has changed and customer service is sub par at best. To explain I took my mom for an appt, due to traffic and bad accident was going to be alittle late for her 11:10 appt, maybe set to arrive 11:20.

So called them 10 min before actual appt time to let them know. They called me back and said since we cannot come on time and dr Williams had an emergency. they cancelled appt and rescheduled. I know things happen but no sincere apology or anything for almost wasting 90 mins in traffic and accident. didn't think 10 min to wait for us would be an issue these days!

Had a vision issue related to a new prescription, called to make an appointment and spoke with Jayden. He was amazing; was able to schedule an appointment the next day! Saw Dr Van Dyck, not my usual doc. We was very thorough and professional. Explained things clearly; did a great job! Very satisfied.

This was my first time going here and I must say that I am impressed. First off, calling and scheduling an appointment, Thien helped me and was very helpful with any questions that I had about my appointment and explained everything very well to me. Upon arriving, the receptionist, Sophia, was very helpful and nice as well. Very good first impression of the office. The doctor was very kind and nice as well. Will definitely come back here and recommend to all my family and friends!

I went to the Georgetown location many years ago for a consult on an eye issue. What I can say is that your experience here, like many places, will depend on the doctor. The doctor I saw was dismissive and rude -- a huge waste of time. A few years later my optometrist recommended a doctor here by name, Dr. Hoang. I've been seeing Dr. Hoang for the past view years for a scar on my cornea due to a cold sore that appeared in my eye instead of my lip (the usual place).

On a recent visit I asked for a dry eye test, and since I'd been complaining about dry eyes for the past few years and OTC eye drops weren't helping, Dr. H prescribed Restasis. The Restasis was too cost-prohibitive and treated the symptoms and not the cause itself so I went back in for tear duct (punctal) plugs. I was informed the whole time about the procedure and was made to feel very comfortable.

I didn't even feel the plugs go in and they started to help immediately. The only reason See Clearly is only 4 stars is because I've had to wait very long before (over an hour!) for a routine appointment, and I've had issues in the past with book-keeping. Otherwise the staff is very nice and communicative! I would definitely recommend Dr. H for any and all eye-ball issues!

With a difficult and uncommon eye condition, it was extremely important to me to find a corneal specialist in the area who was technically qualified to handle more than the run-of-the mill myopia and astigmatism. If you are one of these people with more unusual eye conditions, then you will be in good hands at See Clearly Vision. From the first take-in, at the Rockville office, to their Arlington center, and to their MacLean main office, I've been happy with the doctors' technical competency and their patient handling and follow up procedures. Dr. Rajpal is not only a practicing doctor, but he teaches the subject at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda MD, as well as leads clinical trials at this center.

So you know that these doctors are on the cutting edge of research and technical know-how in ophthalmology. In addition they are supported by an outstanding technical expert in Optometry who can fit you with exactly the most appropriate contact lens or glasses to help you function with good vision in Dr. Wisecarver. She is on top of her game. I cannot recommend this center more highly for their technical expertise and their great doctors.
