David W Weiss, OD

This place is ridiculous do not go !! They could not find my file even though everything is computerized, i asked for a copy pf my prescription at least 3 times they could not provide it i had to take another eye exam which they claimed i would not be charged again but guess what they did calling me 3 months later saying you owe us 600 dollars after i already paid cold hard cash for my contacts and glasses. They have the worst people who do not know billing or anything else

I’m so glad I found Dr. Weiss. He is now my go-​to eye doctor in the DC area. I was due for my biannual eye exam and new pair of glasses, and I found Dr. Weiss because his office accepted my newly purchased insurance. He is clearly a skilled and practiced optometrist, and he was very amiable and friendly while performing my eye exam.
After being given my prescription, I picked out a great pair of glasses. While selecting what type of lenses I wanted, I never felt like I was being upsold. In fact, I felt that Dr. Weiss’s assistants were honest as to what were good options and what were not. I walked away with a great pair of new glasses and plan to return when due for my next pair!

Dr. Weiss is an outstanding optometrist and his staff is first rate. I recently purchased a new pair of progressive glasses there. Charity, one of his staff members, spent time with me to help me to pick out a good frame. Charity really cared that I was happy with my purchase and was available for follow-​up questions and adjustments.
I highly recommend this smaller optical shop, particularly if you tend to be picky (as I am) about having glasses that are «just right.» Kudos to Dr. Weiss, Charity, and the other folks there.

Been going to Dr. Weiss since 2013. He is a wizard of optometry to the point that I look forward to my checkup every year. He explains everything he is doing, the costs and benefits of different choices, and always considers your budget when making recommendations. The front staff is kind, courteous, and efficient. The location in Rosslyn above the metro is great. You should go here.

I have been going to Dr. Weiss since 2012. Since my very first trip he has provided excellent eye exams and helped me find the right pair of contacts.
I’ll also take a moment to tell you about Charity. She works at the front desk, and you can tell that she is passionate about her job. She is a wiz at navigating insurance claims in a quick manner. She is also so helpful when picking out frames and has a real knack for finding the right style and fit.
I found their office by doing a quick Google search for places near my old apartment. I have since moved several times and do not live near their Rosslyn location, and will continue to come here for all of optical needs.

Dr. Weiss is very experienced and is very forthcoming. He will tell you what you should know, help you with any issues you have, and is sincere. He’s a family man himself, so he has a personal touch. I prefer the more experienced optometrists who’ve seen a wide variety of conditions during their careers. It’s a convenient spot right at the Rosslyn Metro, too. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Best eye doctor ever. Quick, great service and reasonable prices for glasses and contacts.

When I moved to the DC area I needed an eye doctor as I wear contacts and glasses. I found Dr. Weiss and I’m glad I did. The office is small, but the staff is very professional and helpful. I’ve always been able to get appointments at convenient times, even when I’ve forgotten to schedule in advance. They are also great at helping pick out frames in the office. Dr. Weiss is a great doctor and takes his time with each patient. He has a camera to take an interior photo of the eye making dilation unnecessary. Much better!

Although this isn’t my regular eye doctor, I called and got an appointment that same day after I explained that I got some foreign bodies trapped under my eyelid. The lady at the front desk was very knowledgeable about my medical insurance,
The optometrist who took care of me immediately found: the two foreign objects under my eyelid (two pieces of exfoliant from my face wash which I’ve since thrown out), a scratch on my cornea, and symptoms of allergies. She prescribed me eye drops for my allergies and antibiotic drops to prevent infection from the scratch. She patiently explained everything to me throughout the process.
When I returned for the follow-​up appointment, there was a different lady at the front desk and she seemed thoroughly confused by my insurance and my appointment, and she had to double check everything with the eye doctor. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Then, thankfully, the lady I met on the first lady returned and she took care of everything so I could get back to my office.

I wish this place would get there system together! I call once every few months to fill my contact prescription. Every time without fail I have to go through a process of them finding my prescription. After 10 minutes of them fumbling with cards like the Dewey Decimal system, they find my card and I’m able to get my prescription.

What a great doctor! I’m a transplant from California and needed to see a doctor asap due to an irritation and blurry vision. Dr. Weiss immediately addressed the issue and put me at ease. Thank you Dr. Weiss for being so down to earth and caring, I’ll be back for my annual checkup!

Ever watch that FRIENDS episode when Rachel goes to the Eye doctor? Yea, that’s me! Totally me. I’ve always DREADED the eye doctor and as one of the fortunate «blind and cannot see squat without glasses/​contacts» I need to regularly visit the eye doctor to renew my perscriptions and make sure my eyes are as healthy as can be. Finding an eye doctor I like is no easy feat. As a former «it took me almost 18 years to not have 3 grown men hold me down so the doctor could administer eye drops and i wish i was lying» I am VERY particular about eye doctors and all things related to eyes. So when it the time came for me to renew my glasses and contacts perscription, let’s just say I was less than thrilled and needed to find a new eye doctor that was NOT affiliated by that nightmare MyEyeDr hellhole. First, check my health insurance list of providers and then look ‘em up on Unilocal! Yep, I consulted Unilocal with my healthcare needs and happy that I did.
First, Dr. Weiss’ office is conveniently located on the 3^rd floor of the Rosslyn Metro. The front desk staff are welcoming, pleasant and competent. There is a section with glasses in stock and they can order your lenses but they do not pressure you whatsoever and encourage you to seek products that is best for you economically. I always DREADED visiting Dr. Siegel only to come out to vultures swarm you at MyEyeDr only looking to price gauge and extort money from you with such an arrogant attitude and disgusting customer service. Sure Dr. Weiss’ digs may seem to be a bit outdated, but Dr. Weiss knows his stuff and is a great eye doctor at explaining the exam and equipment, is efficient in his examination, has a great bedside manner making conversation which if your nerves are on edge like mine usually are is much appreciated, and open to answer any and all questions you may have. I’m a new fan of Dr. Weiss!
Only thing that irked me was that during my appointment with Dr. Weiss, the front desk women kept barging in. Once to gather papers from his desk and blocking the chart. Doctor would ask me, «can you read the last line on the chart.» uh Sure doc, as soon as this lady moves her head because I don’t have superhero eyes to see through heads. The second time, the other woman barged in pestering him regarding another patient who was on the phone. Instead of telling them, «I’m sorry the doctor is in with another patient right now, I can have him call you when he is finished» or something like that you know like most doctors. I did not appreciate the interruptions. One, I’m uneasy at the eye doctor as it is. Two, I’d prefer he focus as this is my eyes we are talking about. Three, if I was on the phone, I would not appreciate the doctor having to shift attention rather than focus solely on my issue, etc. Bottom line: Hey, it’s MY doctor appointment but that’s just me.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Weiss for about 5 years, initially for regular check ups, eyeglasses, and contacts, and then recently for LASIK follow-​up (and LASIK enhancement follow-​up). I really cannot recommend him any higher. He somehow manages to be both quick and efficient but also takes the time to work with you, explain things to you, be thorough, and also gives you the sense that he truly cares about you as his patient. His staff is also great.
I’ve seem Dr. Weiss about 15 times in the last 12 months because of LASIK follow-​ups and it’s the only doctor’s appointment I’ve ever looked forward to. I’ve recommended him to about a half dozen people, including my husband who has some specific challenges with his eyes.

Dr. Weiss is like the Mr. Rogers of eye doctors. Not because he sings, but because he immediately puts you at ease and wins your trust — deservingly so.
I’m very picky about eye doctors. I’m Asian, a.k.a. practically born near sighted, so I’ve worn glasses (then contacts) for as long as I remember. This means the eye doctor needs to be competent, because I need to not be blind and be able to drive myself places, and personable, because for the amount of time I spend at eye checkups, I just gotta like my doctor! Dr. Weiss? Check, and check.
As a first time patient, he got to know my needs and habits with wearing glasses and contacts. We breezed through the eye exam, and he was very helpful in answering any questions I had, whether they be about eye health in general or about the possibilities of lasik. He even taught me what a healthy eyeball looks like and why! The most impressive part was, I took test lenses home for my new prescription and felt like my right eye was a little off. I scheduled a followup and Dr. Weiss re fitted me in under ten minutes to assist the axis for astigmatism. I was in and out just like that! The staff is friendly, and they don’t push you to buy contacts through them.
They are located on top of the Rosslyn metro and validate the building’s parking. What more could you ask for?
Is it just me or does Dr. Weiss look kind of like Harrison Ford when he takes off his glasses? Maybe I’m just crazy.

Excellent. Dr Weiss has been my optometrist for 7 years. I have a family history of severe macular degeneration, and he tests thoroughly to see if it is starting in my eyes. Recommends eye care for preventing it as much as possible.
I visit annually.

Excellent Doctor. I see no reason to give him anything less than 5 stars.
This was my first time with Dr. Weiss, I reached a little early before my appointment time and the doctor me took me before my scheduled time. The best part was only one page of insurance details to be filled out.
Since it was just an annual examination, I was following what he asked me to. Went through a series of screening tests. He makes you feel very calm and relaxed and does not rush at all for examination. He is more than willing to answer all your doubts. He also showed my pictures of both my eyes and explained to me what a normal and an abnormal eye looks like.
The receptionist is very sweet too.
Overall very nice experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone

After my eye exam with Dr. Weiss, I came back to the office to check if Dr. Rothman in New York was in-​network through my new vision insurance with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. It turns out she was in-​network, and I should have set up an appointment with her to get all my usual tests. But, regardless the eye examination and experience with Dr. Weiss was not too bad.
Pros:
Absolute zero wait time (compared to the horrendous wait time at Manhattan Vision Associates in New York)
Disposable sunglasses for dilated eyes
Dr. Weiss preforms all the preliminary diagnostic tests himself (and not by technicians)
Metro-​accessible location
Total appointment time from filling out registration paperwork to paying my co-​pay was 40 minutes
Cons:
Lacking in advanced technology; no perimetry testing machine or non-​contact tonometer machine
One of the greatest pains I had to deal with while looking for a new optometrist in the DMV area was finding a doctor that would (1) include dilation as part of the routine eye exam, (2) offer reasonably-​priced contacts lens fitting and examination, (3) carry high-​end designer frames, and (4) offer weekend appointments. I found that many eye doctors in this area do not offer dilation as part of a routine eye exam unless you have diabetes, and contact lens examination were as high as $ 150.
I narrowed down to a few doctors, and opted for Rosslyn Eye Associates because of the Unilocal reviews. I e-​mailed the office, and received a quick response from Dr. Weiss regarding my inquiry about dilation and contact lens. His exam can include dilation which was great because my co-​pay is for a routine eye examination WITH dilation. In addition, the contact lens fitting and examination starts at $ 60 for single vision.
Being close to the work office, I went in to schedule my eye appointment. The staff was nice and accommodating, gave me the option of setting up an appointment with Dr. Weiss or his associate, and they followed up with phone calls with reminders and insurance issues. They’re definitely on top of their schedule books because an elderly patient came in wanting to schedule a semi-​urgent appointment within the same week, but the receptionist instantly remembered and offered a same-​day appointment due to a last-​minute cancellation.
We did the usual automatic visual acuity and refraction test with the «hot air balloon» and other manual tests with charts and lens… The office equipment is lacking because I certainly did not press a button when lights flashed as I would have if they had a perimetry test machine nor got a puff of air in each eye to measure pressure. Pictures of my eyes were taken, and Dr. Weiss pleasantly explained the health of my eyes, and even mentioned that I had a freckle on one. I didn’t get a contact lens exam and «fitting» since I gave the doctor my history of contact lens prescriptions, so why did I pay the extra contact lens exam and fitting fee when he did not examine me with contact lens on my eyes? Hmmm…
Anyways, Dr. Weiss was very friendly. He gave me a copy of my prescriptions and a pair of disposable sunglasses. There was no pressure from him or his staff to order new contacts, lens, or frames from his office. Overall, I am satisfied that I have my prescriptions renewed.

I loved this guy! I had my first appointment today. I called about a week and a half ago for an annual exam as a new patient. I needed to miss as little work as possible, so I took the first 9am on his schedule– only 10 days after calling! The receptionist was ok on the phone.
My appt this morning– I got there about 5 minutes early for paperwork. and it was only one piece of paper! Yippee! So tired of pages and pages of doctors paperwork. I only waited about five minutes after I finished for Dr. Weiss. I sat in his office while he asked about family history, any problems, the usual questions, but it saved some paperwork time and I felt like I was a real patient. He was very thorough, and a little quiet at first, but he warmed up about halfway through the appointment and started talking.
He showed me photos of my eyes, and even showed me a patient with macular degeneration, since it runs in my family and I am usually worried about it. Overall, great experience, covered all my issues, and explained why he was changing the curve of my contact and why it would work better for me. I’ll be back!

What a nice guy! I like the convenience of his office and the fact that you’re attended to promptly and with a smile. He was nice enough to help me fix a pair of sunglasses that was super wobbly, even though they were cheap, non-​Rx sunglasses from Banana Republic, and he had no obligation to help me out. He also cleaned them for me, which made me realize I need to do a better job of cleaning my sunglasses.
Quick visits, polite dude, reasonable cost.

I moved to the DC area for school but needed an eye exam since my contacts were running low. I’ve used the same eye doctor for years now and was hesitant to go to a new one. Dr Weiss’ staff were the nicest I’ve ever dealt with. Always available to help you on the phone, friendly in person, and answered all my questions. I only had to wait for maybe 5 minutes in the waiting room until Dr Weiss was ready for me.
And Dr Weiss also was extremely pleasant, was interested in learning more about me, and the exam was pretty quick and painless. I was happy to see that the prescription I was given was what I’d have expected from my usual doctor.
Ordering contacts with them was also painless. They even gave me the rebate form that was the best deal (mine was the rebate through my insurance company) and all necessary paperwork required for the rebate. Plus, they were willing to mail my contacts to me for free.
Also, recently I decided I wanted to buy a pair of eyeglasses online and needed to get that prescription. I was worried Id need a separate exam for that since the focal lengths are different for glasses/​contacts. But the lady on the phone said that Dr Weiss always does complete exams and that she already has it ready for me to pick up. And again she offered to mail or fax it to me if that was easier!
So amazing! If Im still in the area Ill be seeing Dr Weiss next year and will definitely be referring all my friends here. Best ever experience without a doubt!
