Michael J Weitz

Dr. Weitz has consistently earned 5 stars in the years that I have been his patient, but the store (myeyedr) gets many, many fewer stars.
I have been seeing Dr. Weitz annually since ~1998 or 1999, starting when he was at the ForEyes location. I have always received excellent and thoughtful eye exams. He pays attention and listens to me, and answers my questions. He has helped with contact lens issues over the years, from re-​fittings to defective lenses. I trust him and have recommended him often over the years.
Dr. Weitz’s good service has been the same since moving to myeyedr, but the rest of the experience at myeyedr is so unpleasant. My top complaints are:
— There are high-​pressure sales tactics to buy contacts and glasses through myeyedr, so much so that I have to work to get a prescription written to go elsewhere, and receive the prescription with a healthy dose of attitude from the store staff.
— I have eye insurance, and yet I still have to pay a lot of money for a «premium» contact lens exam.
— The glasses in the store are unreasonably expensive.
— The store is always crowded and it is hard to move around amongst the many desks and chairs.
— There are many sales people floating around, but they are neither organized nor helpful. My opinion is that they are trained and focus more on sales than they are in being knowledgeable about their products, or in customer service.

My family has been going to Dr. Weitz since 1997. He has stayed on top of the new technology, and embraced the orthokeratology when it proved itself. Essentially, you wear a lens at night to reshape your retina, and enjoy much better vision during the day without lenses. Safer than Lasik, reversible, and less expensive. I got Ortho-​K lenses about five years ago, and have been using them ever since. But he’s a great optometrist for any problem — glasses, contacts, etc.
He’s no longer at the For Eyes office in Wisconsin; now he’s at My Eye Doctor on Woodmont.

Super place, friendly service, easy to get appointments and they bill your insurance /​eye plan directly so it saves a lot of trouble.
Great location in the heart of Bethesda too.

Great eye doctor place that I haven’t visited in a few years though I walk by it frequently. :)
Assistant was great preparing the eye exams and taking great photos and then Dr. Young Ahn appeared.
Very very thorough and went over tons of eye exams and then the actual color photos of each of my eyes. $ 100 extensive testing with the eye exam fee but well worth it. NO bifocals needed here!!!

Everything about my visits to Dr. Weitz’s office are pleasant-​the staff, the great location, and the Doctor’s demeanor. Each time I am called to use a machine it is wiped down (I hate that when they are gross!) and I never feel rushed out of there. The price is right too. And, if you are seeking an alternative to Lasik Dr. Weitz can fit you for Ortho-​K lenses which I think it amazing.
Conveniently located in the same building as For Eyes optical, you can easily browse through their wide selection of frames and get your glasses ordered all in one trip.
The bottom line is, I trust Dr. Weitz with my eyes.
