Reviews

I have been a patient at Bethesda Vision Care (BVC) for several years. Because I have keratoconus, being monitored and regular treatment is critical to my ability to achieve the best vision possible. Dr. Katchuk has literally restored my quality of life through his diagnosis of my condition and ongoing care. The staff at BVC are courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I am definitely pleased after every visit.

Feb 21, 2022

Very happy with my exam and other service. Professional, helpful, explained everything.

Feb 21, 2022

Always a pleasure when going to an appointment with you

Feb 16, 2022

I had a very good experience during my eye exam and when choosing new glasses.

Feb 14, 2022

Dr. Berenhaus is the reason that I am still with Vision Care.

Feb 12, 2022

The staff at Bethesda Vision Care are the Best, from the front desk staff, to the doctors, to the people fitting frames.

Feb 10, 2022

Excellent optometrists and staff, and they offer high quality frames and lenses and reasonable prices. They accept VSP and Care Credit, which is so helpful.

Feb 9, 2022

This my fourth visit for to check up my vision at Bethesda Vision Care. I am very pleased with the attention given by Doctor Gregory Lawrence and the personal in the office.

Feb 8, 2022

I’ve been getting my eyes checked here annually for over twenty years as well as purchasing eyeglasses. I have always been pleased by the professionalism and service. It is a particular delight to work with Gary who helps select and adjust the eyeglasses you have chosen from the wide array of glasses.

Feb 7, 2022

Dr. Katchuk and the team at Bethesda Vision Care always provide the best services given their knowledge and expertise of extraordinary eye care. I can't recommend them enough.

Jan 20, 2022

Many thanks to Dr. Gregory Katchuck for his ongoing careful observations.

Jan 20, 2022

Great experience. Everyone here is professional, friendly, and helpful. The exam is thorough and the doctor listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. The staff are pros at finding glasses that are flattering and match your personality.

Jan 19, 2022

Wonderful Team. I have been going to them since I was a young single man. Now we are three generations that see them.

Dec 31, 2021

The doctor appeared to indicate that there was something wrong with my vision and that I needed another test. Due to the fact he works 1 day a week, I could not get an appointment for 6 weeks. The Dr. refused my request for additional information about what could be wrong with my vision and now I am supposed to wait 6 weeks for an answer. I do not think this is an effective way to communicate with patients.

Dec 30, 2021

The staff is so helpful and friendly. The frames selection is excellent. And the eye exams are thorough. This place is a treasure.

Dec 30, 2021

Excellent service, as usual! I have been seeing Dr. Berenhaus for over thirty years, and it is still worth it, even driving over from Fairfax, VA. Thanks again, and Happy Holidays!

Dec 16, 2021

In the past, I'd received superlative service from Bethesda Vision Care. The most recent transaction was marred by several things: (1) I thought that the price for 4 prescriptions I'd ordered including one pair of computer bifocals (no lenses for any of the four) was high (over $1,300 out of pocket, even after discounts and insurance); (2) Three of the four pairs of lenses arrived pretty much on time, but the 4th was delayed about 2 weeks; (3) When that 4th pair finally arrived (the bifocals), they showed me that it wasn't done properly and said they had to send it back to be redone. The replacement arrived approximately 17 days later, but I had to call the office to learn that the 4th pair had arrived. I will continue to use Bethesda Vision Care, but this transaction left me disappointed.

Dec 16, 2021

Always a pleasure to work with Bethesda Vision Care. You get the feeling that they genuinely care about maintaining eye health and improving your vision.

Nov 30, 2021

I've been working with Dr. Levy for many years and he is excellent--competent, friendly and professional.

Nov 23, 2021

Always thoughtful and helpful admin staff and technicians ...Dr. Ketchuck is a true professional who is also able to clearly explain my unique circumstances. Very helpful.

Nov 22, 2021

I was exceptionally pleased with my eye appointment with Dr. Katchuk. We discussed my lens prescription, dry eye problems, and certain other eye-related matters in an unrushed, informative manner. I feel totally comfortable and grateful that I have a professional with his knowledge and sensitivity watching over my eyesight.

Nov 18, 2021

Very happy with my exam from Dr Levy.

Nov 18, 2021

Wonderful experience and my family will be repeat customers/ patients!

Nov 8, 2021

Generally satisfied. One of the four lens prescriptions that I had ordered wasn't ready (on back order) due to supply chain issues beyond Bethesda Vision Care's control. I was charged almost $1,400 for the prescriptions (after insurance and discounts), which strikes me as high, since the order did not include new frames. But I have no proof that this was excessive because I didn't obtain price quotes from others.

Nov 4, 2021

Quick, efficient, and careful about you and your health. Can't ask for more.

Nov 1, 2021

Wonderful service, great Zeis lenses, timely phone calls for pickup. Expensive, but a superior product than Four Eyes, which I had used for years. Mike

Oct 23, 2021

I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for several years and have been very happy with the care I have received!

Oct 15, 2021

I got one of my gas-permeable lenses stuck in my eye and called Bethesda Vision Care after two days of trying unsuccessfully to remove it myself. I got an appointment that afternoon, and Dr. Lawrence took care of the problem and even gave me a coupon to purchase an eye-moisturizing gel. I am pleased to have professionals caring for my eyesight.

Oct 8, 2021

I appreciate the professionalism shown each time I visit the office.

Oct 2, 2021

I m always feel I m getting the best service n everyone is so nice n I feel very comfortable when I come in. This was my first time meeting Dr. Katchuk who came highly recommended and of course Gary whom I have known since he started n one of my favorite people. I was very satisfied

Oct 1, 2021

I highly recommend Bethesda Vision Care to ensure your eye health is maintained throughout your life and your contact lens and glasses are high quality and provide excellent eye sight. I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care (BVC) since I relocated to Montgomery County, Maryland. I continue to receive excellent service from the Optometrist, whether Dr. Berenhaus, who has been my primary vision expert to Dr. Lawrence, to the helpful, knowledgeable on contact lens, glasses and having healthy eyes to continue to protect my eye sight, to the informed people who help me to pick attractive eye glass frames every time to the administrative support people who set up appointments, and do the initial intake services.

Oct 1, 2021

The doctor and tech were great, but several staff were not wearing their masks and I did not feel safe.

Sep 22, 2021

Excellent, courteous care

Sep 17, 2021

Everyone so helpful and friendly. Excellent care. Could not have been better taken care off. Thank you!

Sep 15, 2021

Staff are helpful and selection of frames a great bonus. I recommend the eye doctors to my friends and anyone that is in need. Love working with Gary he is honest about what really works with colors and shapes of frames for my face. Been using Bethesda Vision Care for over 20 years!

Sep 2, 2021

I can't imagine a better eye care annual appointment . . . Dr. Kachuk provided careful explanations of my lens prescriptions, and was sensitive to my reticence to buy progressive lenses as back-ups to my contact lenses. Fabulous!

Aug 28, 2021

I’m patient for many years and I will continue to visit Bethesda Vision Care as needed. Their staff is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. No extra fees like many other places, they really work with patients and kids in general. Both physicians are great with lots of experience. Definitely recommended Bethesda Vision care if you are seeking for the best Optometrist.

Aug 27, 2021

I was very impressed by the service at Bethesda Vision Care; it was attentive, helpful and very professional. Dr Greg Lawrence has a friendly manner, talks through the options and got me fitted with contact lenses quickly and efficiently.

Aug 25, 2021

The staff is always very cordial and professional. I felt very welcome and everyone went the extra mile to be sure that I understood the purpose of the various eye examinations and that I was comfortable. Dr. Levy, who has always taken outstanding care of my eyes, also provides amazing eyeglass selection advice. I very highly recommend Bethesda Vision Care for exceptional service and a very warm reception!

Aug 23, 2021

The young lady that did the preliminaries, the doctor that performed the test and Gary that fitted me for the glasses offered very excellent services and this is why I keep coming back. Best Regards

Aug 19, 2021

Very helpful and friendly staff. All my questions were answered and facility was very clean and well managed.

Aug 5, 2021

Dr. Katchuk has been taking care of my vision for over 15 years and I now trust him with my whole family.

Aug 1, 2021

Had a delightful experience getting my eyes examined. I arrived early and they saw me about 10 minutes before my originally scheduled appointment which only took about 20 minutes total. The staff was friendly, informative, and incredibly efficient. This is a unique place indeed. I am grateful to Dr. Katchuk for the conscientious practice he has developed and hope they will be around for many years to come.

Jul 22, 2021

Dr. Levy is great, I definitely have the right prescription. And I'm confident that my eyes are healthy. And the people that help me select my frames do a great job too. Making sure I got glasses that suited my face and were within my budget.

Jul 16, 2021

Excellent care, no waiting, friendly and helpful staff. Been going there for years and will continue to.

Jul 12, 2021

I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for over 20 years. The staff is so nice and the doctors are knowledgeable and professional. I would never go anywhere else.

Jul 10, 2021

Always outstanding service and excellent patient care.

Jul 1, 2021

Great place! I’ve been seeing Dr. Katchuk for years and he’s awesome. I even had a weekend concern and he was quick to return my call. I really love their office!

Jun 28, 2021

After not seeing a number of Doctors during COVID i am now making the tour now. It is striking how competent, friendly, understanding, patient and calm the staff/optometrist are at Bethesda Vision Care. They are there for the patients. Let me tell you that has definitely NOT been the case with a number of other doctors I have visited recently.

Jun 26, 2021

I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for many years and could not be happier with the care and professionalism at every visit. Dr. Katchuk is top-notch. He is always up-to-date on the latest research, has excellent practical recommendations and is thoughtful about what will work best for me.

Jun 23, 2021

Great first time experience!

Jun 17, 2021

Quality care from a quality organization!

Jun 14, 2021

I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for 20 years. Dr. Katchuk has tended to everyone in my family with great care. The staff is great too.

Jun 9, 2021

Dr Katchuk is a miracle worker. As a person with a very complex set of vision issues he was able to get me in lenses that work and are safe for me. The entire staff is professional and supportive. Thanks to all.

May 28, 2021

Love this practice! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, thorough exam.

May 26, 2021

I don't live particularly close to Bethesda, but travel to this office because of the exceptional care that I receive here. The staff and initial workflow are efficient and the care from providers is thorough. The doctors also take the time to answer any questions that I have or just provide general information about eye health. I highly recommend this practice!

May 19, 2021

Dr. K is always a pleasure - he takes time to explain everything and the office staff is terrific!

May 15, 2021

Bethesda Vision Care balances efficiency with warmth. The fact that the office is what previously must have been a single-family dwelling makes it cozy and homey. The staff is always polite and helpful. I have seen multiple doctors there and liked them all. On my last visit, the staff were very COVID-safe, with temperature checks at the door, pre-visit questionnaires about symptoms, masks usage, and thorough sanitizing of equipment.

May 8, 2021

Even though my aging sight was easy to accommodate over 30 years, the wonderful staff at Bethesda Vision Care showed me what I've been missing. Not only were they personable, knowledgeable and equipped with wonderful tools, they spent the time with me to explain and answer all my questions. An appointment at the end of the day used to always involve a wait as earlier appointments ran long, but the mine was spot on time. They welcomed me right away and didn't hurry my out at the end. Why did I wait so long to see the details of life?

May 5, 2021

ALWAYS RECEIVE GREAT SERVICE, HAVE BEEN GOING TO DR. LEVI FOR OVER 6YRS

May 5, 2021

I made an appointment with Dr. Lawrence, since my doctor wasn’t available until June. He was excellent...answered all questions, took appropriate time, and was personable. I will request him again.

May 1, 2021

Dr Laurence was friendly and professional.

Apr 30, 2021

Fantastic service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apr 26, 2021

Great place! Very nice people! Everyone very professional in what they do during your visit! 5 Stars!

Apr 25, 2021

I have been a patient of Dr Levy for many years because he is a very professional and knowledgeable optometrist. My eye-care management is in good hands!

Apr 23, 2021

Dr. Katchuk and his team are unparalleled. After 11 eye surgeries, they were able to give me the best vision I have had in many years via a state of the art contact lens and glasses. I am able to drive at night again. I am very grateful.

Apr 21, 2021

Friendly, efficient, and professional - all I could ask for!

Apr 15, 2021

I have used Gary S. at Bethesda Vision over the years having just ordered new glasses April 2021. He is outstanding at picking out a few recommendations to suit my needs and that look good on me. The only dilemma I face is choosing which one[s] I like best because hhis choices are all excellent. Their frames are relatively costly but they are the highest quality. Considering that I wear my glasses all day and they last for years, it is well worth it. More importantly they have the newest tech and highest quality in lenses.

Apr 12, 2021

The place is very COVID19 organized on social distancing and masks. The appointment did not take long.

Apr 7, 2021

Dr Kachuk is clear and answers all my questions, with knowledge and reassurance.

Apr 2, 2021

Great visit with a new doctor - I also felt very safe there - with all their sanitizing

Mar 27, 2021

Eye care at Bethesda Vision is always conducted with courtesy and professionalism.

Mar 25, 2021

Really a pleasure working with Dr. Berenhaus and Gary. Don’t know that I’ve ever had such a thorough and technologically advanced examination. The selection of frames is tremendous. Gary really took his time to make sure I was happy.

Mar 17, 2021

Very efficient office and excellent medical service!

Mar 17, 2021

Brittany is so nice and helpful!!! Dr. Lawrence was very kind too and hooked me up with way better contacts.

Mar 10, 2021

Detailed explanations for my questions, thank you. Recommendations given, thank you. Courteous, thank you.

Mar 5, 2021

I am very happy with professionalism and support I received

Mar 4, 2021

Dalia Herrera is very knowledgeable and friendly. She asked questions to help me select both lenses and frames. She followed up promptly by phone and remembered me when I went to pick up the new glasses. Gary was also very pleasant and took time to make sure the glasses fit and that I was pleased with my purchase.

Mar 4, 2021

Friendly, hometown, professional, efficient, knowledgeable and have great service

Feb 24, 2021

Highly recommend Dr. Lawrence! He's so kind, patient, and thorough. He is attentive and caring. Easy demeanor and good at his job! He treats my 17y old son (contacts, athlete, terrible astigmatism) and me (OLD eyes). He means it when he says "please check in with me and tell me how you are doing," and he even checked in! Can't say enough...

Feb 22, 2021

On my visit January 26th, 2021, I had my appt. with Dr. Kathuk. Everything went well. I drive 50 miles for my eye doctor appointments as I don't live in the area anymore. My time is valuable so I don't have a lot of time to wait around. I need to get in and get out.

Feb 12, 2021

My appointment started on time and the doctor saw me within ten minutes of my arrival. I was greeted and taken into the pre-observation area right away. This was my second visit and the first visit was a similar experience.

Feb 12, 2021

Not happy with my recent experience getting glasses. Bad communication. Unanticipated delays. Missed opportunities. Is this why folks switch to Warby?

Feb 3, 2021

I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for years and I have always received excellent care.

Jan 30, 2021

The service in the practice has been uniformly good at all levels. I have a suggestion for the Peripheral Vision Test for Glaucoma. It is a complicated test based on instant spotting of dots on a screen. This was the first time I took it and was confused and therefore initially misunderstood what was expected of me. Why not have a printed brochure explaining the test and give the patient five minutes to read it before the start?

Jan 27, 2021

I wish someone had explained to me before my "contact lens consult" that I would be charged quite a bit extra for this discussion. I would have held out longer probably, or altogether, had I known.

Jan 22, 2021

The protocol/practices in the office were quite reassuring in these Covid times. I completed my paperwork online prior to my appointment and waited in my car until Dr Katchuk was ready. Everything went smoothly and efficiently!

Jan 9, 2021

Visit started on time and went very smoothly

Jan 7, 2021

As always, the technicians are helpful and accommodating. The system for letting appointments in is still is not efficient. Having people call in to say they are in the parking lot ( on time) and then putting them on hold for extended periods of time is not working.

Jan 1, 2021

I love Bethesda Vision Care. Not only do they have a myriad of wonderful frames, their customer service is beyond wonderful. Their very personal attention to each customer makes for a comfortable and fun experience. They work hard to make sure you are completely thrilled with your purchase and will accommodate you in any way they can. They are also amazing at understanding your insurance and helping you make the most of it. Like I said...LOVE!

Dec 24, 2020

Dr. Levy and staff take the time to throughly perform exams, answer all my questions and do not rush me when trying to decide on new frames. And when it snowed yesterday they helped me out to my car and cleaned off my windows. Going beyond just eye care!

Dec 18, 2020

Dr. K is kind, professional and always up-to-date on the latest best practices. The perfect eye doctor. And the office staff are very helpful.

Dec 13, 2020

Our family has been going to Bethesda Vision for years. Dr K is terrific and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Dec 12, 2020

Spent $2000 on glasses. Several week delay and had lenses redone. Still have to wait several days for minor frame adjustments. Called today and the person on the phone did not know what “Frame adjustment” meant. Another 5 day wait for a 5 min adjustment. Not the experience I expected. Optometrist is excellent.

Dec 2, 2020

Assessing BVC from the perspective of a non-ophthalmologist MD who has been seen by a number of ophthalmologists over the years (and who perceives the medical service/care in the metro DC area to be surprisingly uneven), I have found BVC to have a consistently effective infrastructure and Dr. Gregory Katchuk to be a particularly able provider who connects easily and well with his patients. Very thankful to have him and and his office team as a source of care.

Nov 28, 2020

Always professional and friendly -- BVC has been with our family since the 1980s and we're not gonna change that ever!

Nov 25, 2020

The issue with my eyeglasses was met promptly. Bethesda Vision Care is providing secure excellent service in the time of the pandemic.

Nov 23, 2020

Best Service - Quality Eye Care

Nov 22, 2020

Friendly, kind, knowledgeable and awesome doctors and staff

Nov 21, 2020

You seem to be updating your computer system and though Dr. Levy was slowed down he could finish my exam, but I spent close to 30 min. with the optician trying to get a new set of lenses for my glasses and new sun glasses and was never able to do so. This was extremely frustrating. It means I have to come back and have another appointment. I'm tempted to go elsewhere.

Nov 20, 2020

The doctors are great but the rest of the staff leave something to be desired.

Nov 9, 2020

Responsive and Quality exams

Nov 2, 2020

I came in in an emergency with an eye injury near closing time . I was taken in and seen by the senior dr who determined the wound was serious with potential for vision impairment and rxed meds. I saw a staff member the next day and at end of wk to be sure the eye was healed. Am very grateful!

Nov 1, 2020

I appreciated Bethesda Vision Care's efforts to protect clients. Masks, sanitizers, and social distancing were all implemented. Dr. Lawrence and staff were friendly and professional, leaving me good to go for another year.

Oct 31, 2020

It was a very pleasant visit, can’t wait to get my new glasses, I also felt quite safe

Oct 24, 2020

I have been using Bethesda Eye Care since Gary joined your company n have always been very happy with the service.

Oct 21, 2020

Dr K is incredibly kind and caring with his patients. He takes the time to explain complicated concepts in ways that are easy to understand. He is truly interested in helping in any way he can which also extends to his staff that are equally kind and supportive. I drive 2 hours each way for a team that is worth it.

Oct 17, 2020

30 years and still the best Eye Dr group in Bethesda!!

Oct 15, 2020

i was very impressed with the overall seriousness of keeping all staff and customers safe during these challenging times. Great job! As always, Dr. K. efficiently reviewed my current status while clearly explaining not just extent of any changes, but also what such changes mean. All my questions were fully answered and I'm confident that my slightly adjusted prescription will enhance my vision.

Oct 8, 2020

I love this place. So courteous, easy to work with, and has excellent doctors. Someone is able to easily walk you through your insurance and get you the best deal possible, no fuss. I always enjoy coming here and would encourage others to do so too.

Oct 5, 2020

Very friendly place. Efficient Answering all your questions You feel at home!

Oct 1, 2020

Our entire family loves BVC!

Sep 30, 2020

I visited the optical shop in September 2020. Before my visit, it seemed like there were sufficient rules in place to limit coronavirus transmission at this location (staff had to unlock door for entry and I was contacted with screening questions prior to my appointment). On the day of my visit, I was a lot less confident about the cleanliness of this place. Much of the staff was hanging out talking, not manning the door. Customers were allowed to bring others with them and those people were wandering the store, freely touching things while no one was looking. The staff member who was working with the customer next to me kept encouraging the customer to pull her face down so he could see the glasses on her face. Not a great idea during a pandemic! I recently visited a hair salon and they had more restrictions and precautions in place to protect me and the staff compared to this place. Save yourself the risk and money and buy your glasses online!

Sep 23, 2020

Doctor was nice and patient in communicating with me as I am Deaf. I felt he rushed a bit, but I know I can ask questions if I need to. He will be patient with me. Opticians were great in communicating with me and selecting some frames. Gave me wonderful feedback with narrowing down to the selected frame.

Sep 17, 2020

I always feel welcomed and values at Bethesda Vision Care - they are very professional and answer my questions with ease!

Sep 17, 2020

I’m always very impressed with this practice group and especially appreciate their attentiveness with COVID precautions. I was contacted a few days ahead of my appointment for some COVID screening questions, prior to the appointment I waited safely in my car and phoned in, each patient was screened and temperature checked at the entry door, everyone was masked up, antibacterial wipes were used to sanitize surfaces on the eye screening equipment...

Sep 16, 2020

Dr. Levi was excellent with my 10 year old son. Caring and complete in his exam. Very pleased with his work.

Sep 14, 2020

I highly recommend this small, clean, eye care provider. They have great diagnostics, top notch eye doctors and lots of eyeglass options. They did a great job of working with my insurance and provided great service, I only wish I had known ahead it would take 90 minutes, I had only scheduled for 60 which added stress to an otherwise good experience.

Sep 11, 2020

Great staff! Awesome doctors!

Sep 11, 2020

My whole family always enjoys our visits to Bethesda Vision Care. The staff is friendly and engaging, especially toward my teens. They also really love the selection of eye wear and cannot wait for them to arrive. I especially appreciate all of the COVID prevention procedures that have been implemented!

Sep 10, 2020

The office as a whole is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable

Sep 4, 2020

I recently moved from LA to Washington DC and was referred to these guys. SO glad I was. Very professional. Elicited my trust immediately through their organization, honesty and salesmanship. Not to mention the wondrous GARY who never even made it necessary for me to get up to look at frames.. he just knew what would suit. Looks like I found a home for my eyes in DC!

Sep 3, 2020

All staff was excellent!! I was greeted with a smile by the person opening the door to allow entry and given procedural directions. Dalia was personable, attentive to details, quite helpful with the selection of a new frame and overview of coverage costs thru my plan and knowledgeable of Bethesda Vision Care policy in regard to satisfaction of the customer. The exam tech explained every exam that was administered asking comfortability questions along the way; made sure everything was wiped down and possessed a great sense of humor. Dr. Levy showed and explained the results of exams taken prior to me seeing him, showed and explained pictures taken of my eyes. Although, I arrived almost an hour before my actual scheduled time, I was not just sitting around. The staff was very accommodating in servicing me.

Aug 26, 2020

The folks at BVC are the best! Not only do they have the best doctors they also have the best support staff that knows how to treat a customer. I am in between jobs and insurance plans so I was hesitant on going to get my eyes checked and ordering new glasses. The team was creative and found the most affordable way for me to get my eye exam and glasses. I have been a patient of Dr. Katchuk's for over 10 years now and have never been disappointed. He takes his time in explaining your vision and never makes you feel like a number or rushes you out. I truly feel like a VIP every time I go.

Aug 24, 2020

Very professional and courteous staff. Great office, doctors and staff!

Aug 10, 2020

Thanks very much to all personal in this center. With gratitude!

Aug 8, 2020

Thank you all for all your great care you gave me at my appointment. Jim Barr

Aug 5, 2020

Until I obtain the glasses, I cannot fully rate your service.

Aug 3, 2020

BVC provides top notch vision care. I have only been a client for approx 2 years. The staff are well trained and offer quality service and the best selection of frames. I highly recommend BVC to everyone.

Jul 17, 2020

My glasses were missing a pad, and they were able to help me in the office at no charge.

Jul 16, 2020

Everyone I encounter during my visit - from the doctor, the technician, the eye glass counter and billing and check-in/out staff - is kind and highly professional. I can’t recommend this practice enough.

Jul 16, 2020

The staff and doctors are always friendly and helpful. The selection of frames is top notch

Jul 10, 2020

Everything was excellent.

Jul 9, 2020

I've had a good experience at Bethesda Vision Care! My glasses are awesome, and the doctor I met with was great!

Jun 25, 2020

My experience with the optometrist was excellent...he was personable and worked quickly but with care. My experence with he technition I talked to about frames was not so pleasant. He needs to explain options much more clearly and talk with me, not at me. I finally decided to simply get my lenses and frames elsewhere.

Jun 25, 2020

I've been going to Bethesda Vision Care for over 30 years (I think). They are excellent, and in a good location, too. I never have to wait long at my appointment. Dr. Levy is thorough, answers my questions, and is a good listener, and I feel that my eyes are in good condition because of the checkups. Also I am grateful to them for recommending Eye Doctors of Washington & Dr. Thomas Clinch for my cataract laser surgery in 2017 (at which I had lenses implanted in my eyes).

Jun 23, 2020

Warm and professional care! This is what makes Bethesda Vision Care my go-to venue for first-rate eye care. Dr. Levy and the entire staff are awesome and so welcoming. It's always a pleasure to get my examination!

Jun 19, 2020

Great new glasses Everyone in my family gets glasses and contacts here.

Jun 18, 2020

Awesome place; great location, everyone is pleasant and friendly. Great service.

Jun 17, 2020

The best service I've had for vision care. Staff friendly and professional, doctors personable. Answered all my questions, provided option so I could choice type on lenses etc. Frame prices are higher than expected but worth the quality of service during the lifespan of the frames. I've had nose rests replaced and frames adjusted several years into ownership at no cost.

Jun 17, 2020

Best customer service ever!! Dr. Katchuk is my doctor and he as well as the staff makes sure that all of your needs are met, answers any questions that you may have and does their best to make sure you walk out with the best contacts, glasses for you. I have keratoconus and have been to many doctors over the years and I would recommend them over any office I have ever been to.

Jun 15, 2020

I have great in confidence in Dr. Katchuk. I’ve always had excellent service and the staff is great. I highly recommend!

Jun 8, 2020

I have, for many years, liked and appreciated the eye care I’ve received from Bethesda Eye Care. My last experience, however, was a bit different. The young woman who did all the preliminary testing using all the equipment on the main floor, was high strung, with high pitches voice, giving instructions fast and incoherently while she raced around from machine to machine and sometimes ignored me. In a previous life I was a speech/language pathologist and so I had a strong impulse to do some work with her on her voice pitch. My advice to her would be: slow, calm and connected.

Mar 11, 2020

I have entrusted my eye care to this practice for many years now. I'm never kept waiting very long. Dr. Gregory Katchuk has been my eye doctor for most of that time and has always been very pleasant, courteous, and knowledgeable. I always opt for the additional tests before I see him and I've found that to be a good decision. They are worth the extra money. The optician who helps me with new frames, when needed, is also very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. There are no reasons why I would consider making a change.

Mar 7, 2020

Had a great appointment with Dr. Lawrence. It was my first time meeting him but he walked me through everything very clearly especially with my Lasik. I had to bring my 8 month old to my appointment, and the Doctor was very understanding!

Mar 2, 2020

This is the best eye care facility I found in Bethesda so far. I had an emergency, and was able to schedule an appointment almost immediately, while their busy schedule and the house full of other clients. My need was addressed in most professional and efficient manner. Stuff was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this place.

Feb 15, 2020

Always top notch professional service.

Feb 12, 2020

I am more than satisfied with this eye care. I have been a client of Bethesda Vision Care for fifteen years. It's a long drive for me so not terribly convenient. And it's more expensive than the quick service optical chains. For those two reasons, I occasionally tried different providers over the years but each time came back with greater conviction that this is the best medical group for eye care in a very wide area. I've consistently been happy with the glasses themselves, the fit, as well as the professional and personal treatment of the doctors and opticians.

Jan 30, 2020

Great sevice from the staff and doctor. Always friendly and on time. Dr Lawrence is excellent, knows his business and has a great way of explaining what is going on.

Jan 30, 2020

I didn’t get very much help from the woman who was supposed to help me choose my eye glasses. She seemed completely uninterested and didn’t help much. I wish Gary would have been there to help me.

Jan 26, 2020

I've been going to Bethesda Vision for the past 8 years. Service is great.

Jan 25, 2020

Appointment went very well. It moved very quickly and, as usual Dr. Katchuk was very friendly and thorough. I had to have my eyes dilated now and that was not as bad as I remembered it. Highly recommend Bethesda Vision!

Jan 25, 2020

INSIST they show the Davis Frames Collection. I and my family have used this business for 10+ years. The eye exam is always satisfactory (in fact if not for the optometrist I would go to Eyeland). I always have to insist they show me the Davis Frames Collection. After 10 minutes or so of dissembling, they do go to the basement and bring up a few frames. Then they pull faces and disparage the frames. As I wear contacts, I am fine with a standard pair of frames.

Jan 23, 2020

I have been going to this facility for over 20 years. It is high tech and has the best of the best for equipment and staff!

Jan 23, 2020

My recent visit as always was on time, and professionally done by the optometrist and the man who carefully explained progressive glasses, my first.

Jan 8, 2020

Bethesda Vision Care has a professional team of associates that walk you efficiently and effectively through one's eye examination. I have relied on Dr. Katchuk's expert care for my family and me for the last 20+ years. BVC's eye wear collection is among the best in the DMV too!

Jan 8, 2020

My daughter had a very unhelpful encounter with the front desk. Despite our family being customers for over a decade, they could not find our insurance, then told her she had missed her appointment so she would have to come back another time. She says it was up to the dr, but the delay was completely on the office's side and my daughter was on time for the appointment. Additionally, I had been in just a few months prior so the insurance information could have been located from my account. We love Dr Levy and he has been great but I think BVC needs to do some additional training with the front desk staff.

Jan 6, 2020

A very cheerful and competent group of professionals.

Jan 4, 2020

I had a great experience. Y’all are awesome.

Dec 23, 2019

People when I got there didn't know where I was in the process of getting glasses. The doctor had not taken notes from my last visit nor had she checked to see if she had the correct information from the experts she had sent me too. This was time consuming and frustrating. Also, when it was time to purchase new glasses, the person misquoted how much my insurance would pay. I left without the glasses and will not return.

Dec 18, 2019

This eye dr. is great. The staff are helpful and friendly; it’s easy to schedule appointments and Dr. Tkachuk is always knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.

Dec 15, 2019

I've trusted my eyes to Bethesda Vision Care for, literally, decades. The doctors are excellent and take time to explain your test results and how your eyes change over time. The docs and opticians are very patient when lens or frames have to be adjusted or even remade. They cut most of the lens in their own, on-site lab. They have an excellent selection of frames and a staff who spends as much time as needed to help you find the frame that best fits your face. Special shout out to Gary, Ryan and Dr. Katchuk who took care of me this week.

Dec 13, 2019

I have been going to Bethesda Vision for almost 20 years. While the office staff has changed with regularity, I have seen Dr. Bernhaus and Dr. Kachuk the entire time. They are professional, run on time, knowledgable, cost conscious (no unwanted upselling) and I highly recomend their practice.

Dec 13, 2019

Great practice...welcoming office presence...plenty of parking...very nice people...highly recommended.

Dec 12, 2019

I never fill out surveys but this experience warrants one. From the moment I arrived Bethesda Vision Care earned their 5 star rating. They were on-time, expeditious, friendly, and extremely helpful with the selection of my frames.

Dec 5, 2019

Excellent. Great office, and Dr. Marc Levy is also great. And he provides clear information, too.

Dec 5, 2019

Despite having computer problems, staff provided good customer service.

Dec 4, 2019

Bethesda Vision Care is an excellent place for eye exams and purchasing contact lens and new glass frames. I have been going to Bethesda Vision Care for 24 years now and the examinations, service and Dr. Berenhaus' consistent, thorough examinations continues to be excellent and more importantly keep my eyes healthy! The staff are all professional and courteous and provide expert care.

Nov 27, 2019

You all are great. Have always felt great confidence in Dr Berenhaus

Nov 21, 2019

The staff in the office are very nice, friendly, and helpful. There is never a long wait. I am very pleased with the care I get from Dr Lawrence. He is knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining situations. I will continue t come to Bethesda Vision Care.

Nov 18, 2019

Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, timely. Everything you want in a practice

Nov 13, 2019

Dr Lawrence was professional, thorough, and very accommodating reassuring me that my corneal & retinal health was in tact. He coordinated results with the physicians who requested the exam.

Oct 30, 2019

I love Bethesda Vision Care. They are always right on time, thorough and super helpful in answering all questions. They also price match without asking making sure you get the best deal. I will be returning every year!

Oct 18, 2019

One of the most efficeint appointments at BVC I've had in 25+ years. No waiting, in fact couldnt even open up the magazine to start a read.

Oct 17, 2019

prompt service, thorough exam

Oct 9, 2019

I've always had great experiences at Bethesda Vision Care from the receptionists to the doctors to the optometrists. Everyone is friendly and patient and willing to explain things to you. Thank you!

Aug 29, 2019

It was a basic eye exam, no waiting, very quick, efficient.

Aug 29, 2019

Dr Berenhaus is great! Figures things out quickly.

Aug 22, 2019

I had an excellent visit to Bethesda Vision Care. It took a little while to see me, but other than that, the doctor was great! More importantly, the guy who helped me understand my insurance plan was superb. They tried to save me money and make it as pleasant and easy an experience as possible. I would highly recommend this eye doctor if you're in the Bethesda area.

Aug 14, 2019

Following up on a torn retina, I have been receiving eye check-ups at the Bethesda Vision Center for about five years now. Since I am in my late 70’s, my eyes are thoroughly checked for any sign of degeneration and correct visual acuity. I am very happy with the care and attention I receive from all the staff at Bethesda Vision Center.

Jul 27, 2019

I have received superior service from Dr. Marc Levy on each of my visits to Bethesda Vision Care since I became a patient in 2018. Dr. Levy is a knowledgeable optometrist who keeps current on diagnostic technologies and is supported by a highly competent, energetic staff who always make me feel welcome and valued as a patient.

Jul 26, 2019

It's always a pleasure to visit Bethesda Vision Care for my yearly check-up. The staff is professional all the way, and I enjoy the care of Dr. Berenhaus now for many years. He provides a sense of the highest standard of care for optometry - and caring.

Jul 25, 2019

Best eye doctor! Dr. Berenhaus has taken care of me for over 25 years and all of my family. They are a great!.

Jul 24, 2019

I continue to receive excellent care here.

Jul 24, 2019

I have been going to Dr. Gregory Katchuk for 3 years and I have had GREAT experiences. When he couldn’t figure out my problem, he sent me for second opinion. I realized he knew as much as my second opinion and everyone at Bethesda Vision Care was extremely courteous and professional. Another good thing is that I never have to wait. As soon as I walk in, I am on my way to get my eyes checked and then on to see Dr. Katchuk. Dr. Katchuk explains things in a way I understand and NEVER rushes me out. That is why I've been a loyal patient of Bethesda Vision Care for 3 years.

Oct 10, 2016

Dr Glasgow is highly expert, personable, and willing to spend the time, repeatedly if necessary, to get the best vision correction possible for her patients. My daughters and I are very pleased to be under her outstanding care. Thank you!

Oct 6, 2016

Have always enjoyed the state of the art testing and the customer service from everyone.

Oct 5, 2016

We saw dr katchuk and could not have been happier. He examined my three year old ( who needs to see a specialist) and talked with us about the options and referred us to a great specialist. He made sure we understood our options. He was so nice and helpful that I'm going to start being a patient here!

Oct 3, 2016

I am finding Bethesda Vision extremely difficult. You have been trying to find the right lenses for me for weeks, actually over two months. Meanwhile, as incorrect or faulty lenses come in I have to beg for trial lenses to wear in the meantime, 5 day packets at a time. The last lenses that arrived (that took 3 weeks to arrive) were wrong again and I was given a 5 day trial pack to keep me going until they get the right lenses which in assuming could be another three weeks.

Oct 3, 2016

Excellent service. Dr. Glasgow is the best. I appreciated her kindness and thorough explanations.

Oct 2, 2016

I have always received excellent care from Dr. Berenhaus. In fact, I do not utilize my insurance options in Virginia because I prefer Bethesda Vision Care.

Sep 29, 2016

Great people, great doctors. Everyone is incredibly nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing an eye exam or contact. The frames and lenses are somewhat expensive, however, if you do not have insurance. But I would not get my eyes checked anywhere else.

Sep 28, 2016

Friendly environment and Good Customer Service!!!!

Sep 14, 2016

Deeply appreciated the time Dr. Glasgow spend explaining aspects of my vision, my exam/test results and the options available. She was knowledgable, personable and funny. The most informative and worthwhile eye exam I have ever had.

Sep 5, 2016

Excellent personal care though both times my prescription was wrong in my glasses, no financial options were explained, and the price for two pairs of prescription glasses was shockingly exhorbitant-- $2500 with vision insurance.

Sep 2, 2016

Totally impressive visit with very knowledgeable and personable Dr. Glascow.

Aug 29, 2016

I have an unusual situation since I need glasses to wear over my contacts. The first pair the doctor ordered did not work at all - the moment I put them on I knew that I could not use them. I dutifully wore a second pair for weeks to "get used" to them, but still found them uncomfortable. At my third visit, the doctor suggested I buy a pair of drugstore glasses to try, which I found bizarre. I am still working with Bethesda Vision Care to get a pair of glasses I can use. It's very frustrating for all.

Aug 26, 2016

Excellent service. Dr. Katchuk is an outstanding eye doctor. Highly recommend.

Aug 17, 2016

Emergency service , reassuring staff , they were there when I needed them.

Aug 5, 2016

We've been going to Bethesda Vision for decades and when we moved to Laurel MD, we tried someplace closer, but it was a huge failure. The choices were not quality, and the lenses were distorted. It is worth the drive. Also, it is so nice to have professionals help pick out lens frames that are flattering--that can be overwhelming at stores with 500 to choose from, but no one to help or no one who knows how to really property fit you and flatter your face. Highly recommend.

Jul 31, 2016

Care was superb, though I was unaware there were financial options.

Jul 30, 2016

Excellent customer service!

Jul 28, 2016

I have been using Bethesda Vision Care for many years, am pleased with the thoroughness of their exams and selection of eyeglasses. I highly recommend Bethesda Vision Care!

Jul 28, 2016

I love the text message option and the emails, they are amazing/necessary for someone like me who always forgets appointments.

Jul 25, 2016

Loved Dr. Glasgow. So nice and personable. Took a lot of time and was very thorough.

Jul 22, 2016

Dr. Glasgow is the wonderful!

Jul 21, 2016

Our appointment had been deleted. The desk said we could still be seen. A half hour after our appointment time I had to prompt the desk to call us to see the doctor.

Jul 17, 2016

Love Bethesda Vision Center, great staff(very friendly and organized)and also had a great doctor. I had the honor to the patient of Dr Glasgow who was amazing.

Jul 14, 2016

Great service! Great staff!

Jul 14, 2016

I have been a previous patient of Dr. Weitz from Hour Eyes to My Eye Doctor now to Bethesda, Vision Care. I would highly recommend him and your office to others.

Jul 11, 2016

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very nice experience

Jun 30, 2016

I have visited the practice three times this month for general exam, fitting of glasses and medical eye attention. All my needs were met with competence, genuine concern and promptness. I highly recommend the doctors and staff.

Jun 30, 2016

Dr. Levy is a great Optometrist. I started going to him when he was in Silver Spring and now that he is in Bethesda. Great location. Customer Service at Bethesda Vision Care is outstanding. They are on top of technology and let you know of the latest that they have at the time of your exam. Gary is a fantastic optican as well as being humorous too!

Jun 26, 2016

It us a pleasure to be treated with warmth and attention. I have been attending for over 20!years with a short hiatus and the prior staff up until about 3 years ago was unwelcoming. Thank you for providing a climate that is fitting and consistent with excellent quality of care in the office. Gary is always so helpful and helps to adjust all the glasses and even fix old ones .

Jun 26, 2016

The office team and Dr. Glasgow were very friendly, efficiant, and professional.

Jun 24, 2016

The personnel at BVC are excellent. I was late for my appointment, but they were able to work me in without much delay. Dr. Katchuk always treats me very well, answering all of my questions. He has time to check my eyes thoroughly. No rushing to get on to the next patient.

Jun 19, 2016

Excellent and quick service!

Jun 12, 2016

Convenient location, attentive staff, quality care.

Jun 6, 2016

Very positive experience. Staff is well trained, professional and pleasant. Dr. Glasgow clearly explained all aspects of the exam and my options. I felt confident she would be able to find a contract lens combination that would meet the needs of my aging nearsighted eyes. She did and I couldn't be more pleased! I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Glasgow and Bethesda Vision.

May 27, 2016

Office is active enough to be a bus station, yet maintains a wonderful personal touch. Would recommend highly

May 19, 2016

All went well the other day. NIce office and good doctors. Thank you!

May 18, 2016

I think the practice is run very smoothly. Very little wait time. Dr.Katchuk is terrific.

May 14, 2016

Excellent service... very thorough examination... very well equipped with the latest technology!

May 13, 2016

I think the practice is run very smoothly. Very little wait time. Dr.Katchuk is terrific.

May 12, 2016

Always a pleasure to go to the eye doctor - very professional, always on time and people are so nice!!

May 11, 2016

We are very pleased with the expertise and friendly atmosphere of Bethesda Vision Care. All personnel were helpful and prompt.

May 5, 2016

The staff at Bethesda Vision Care was very friendly. Of course, Doctor Berenhaus was excellent. 5-stars for Doctor Mike.

Apr 27, 2016

I have gone to Bethesda Vision Cares for many years. I have always been pleased by their courteous service. I never have to wait long after I get there. They have all the up-to-date eye testing equipment you would need, and the technicians are well-trained, efficient, and friendly. I have always been impressed by the skills of the optometrists.

Apr 24, 2016

Everyone there is extremely friendly. I have been seeing Dr. Levy for years and he is great.

Apr 18, 2016

Been coming to Dr. Berenhaus for many, many years and he is terrific. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The entire staff is terrific as well. Couldn't recommend him enough!!

Apr 13, 2016

Dr. Berenhaus always takes time with me to explain results of all of the tests and make sure that my RX is the best and clearest that it can be. I am so appreciative. Gary also spent time finding best use of insurance for contacts and glasses. Morgan and other staff are cheerful, knowledgeable and professional.I have referred several colleagues.

Apr 13, 2016

Excellent customer service and the whole team really seemed to "have it together". I also like that the office has the latest diagnostic technologies available to patients.

Apr 8, 2016

I have always received excellent care from Dr. Berenhaus and his staff. On this last visit both Dr. Berenhaus and his optician, David Camacho, were extraordinarily patient, helpful, thoughtful and creative in helping me to find solutions to contact lens and eyeglass problems.

Apr 7, 2016

Greatest vision service for our family. I don't mind the wait at all -personally, I know Dr Weitz sometimes takes time to go through my kids' check up to provide the best care and recommendation. We traveled from Northern Virginia to see Dr. Weitz for the past three years.

Apr 7, 2016

I had a bad appointment. When I asked a clarifying question about a particular test Dr. Berenhaus wanted to perform, he replied "It's not rocket science" and was incredibly condescending. He also upsold me on an additional test I had opted out of, only to mention to me later the $80,000 he spent on the equipment. He was trying to recoup his costs by pushing me to have an eye test I did not need. Terrible experience all around. I will not return.

Apr 7, 2016

Office is crowded and seems flustered and rushed. The staff are nice but there is too much going on in the lobby area. Appointment was scheduled for 12:15. I arrived 5 minutes early. At 12:15,Dr. Weitz called for another patient, so the wait was pretty long. Not sure what caused the delay but it happened again on my follow-up appointment a few weeks later. During my appointment, I felt rushed by Dr. Weitz. The check-up was interrupted twice by the staff and Dr. Weitz to discuss invoices and insurance discounts for other patients. I find this to be incredibly rude and unprofessional and disrespectful to the patient. I was given 3 sample contact lenses after my appointment. Sorry, but it should be obvious to an optometrist that a patient wears them 2 at a time. When I asked to get a 4th lens (not a 4th pair) the doctor made it seem as though it were an imposition. I won't go back.

Apr 7, 2016

Everyone is so nice & helpful.

Apr 6, 2016

Good experience but can be a bit crowded/crazy in there!

Apr 6, 2016

the eye appointment was great; I liked the doctor, and I felt the overall attention and service was very good. The fitting for glasses left me cold; it was assumed that I would buy at your shop, which bothered me, and the selection was OK- but what was spec'd for me was 3 pairs of glasses (using existing frames for 2) at $1000 after insurance. I settled on one pair because I know I need them now, and it's been over two weeks and I have not yet received my glasses or a receipt for my purchase. The fitting took an hour and a half on a workday, which is just not acceptable. I will probably not purchase here again, though I will come back for an eye exam.

Mar 31, 2016

Drs Berenhaus and Katchuk are terrific! Just very easy, confidence-inspiring professionals. Gary is the "Willy Wonka" of eyeglass election and fitting. And the entire support team really helps to make the most of my employer vision benefits.

Mar 18, 2016

Dr. Berenhaus is the BEST eye doctor - friendly, caring, kind, professional, knowledgeable and will answer ALL your questions and will help you understand what is best for you in terms of the varying prescriptions/glasses you need. The staff is professional, efficient and friendly. I have tried many of the "chain" stores and will now always go to Bethesda Vision for eye exams - the newest technology and great people skills!

Mar 16, 2016

Dr. Berenhaus is excellent, I've been going annually for many years. The entire office is nice and helpful.

Mar 14, 2016

My experience always has been Great and i will recommend to friends and family member

Mar 12, 2016

I was told that I needed to have my eyes dilated for a thorough exam. I was also told that my sight would return to normal in about 2 hours. Four hours later, I still couldn't see any better. I called the office and, at first was reassured by a secretary that all would be well in time. It was only after insisting upon speaking with the doctor did I receive the kind of informed explanation that put my mind at ease. And it took six, not two hours for my sight to return to normal

Mar 9, 2016

Excellent experience. Morgan could not have been more helpful and it's always a great experience with Dr. Katchuk.

Mar 4, 2016

The warmth toward my newborn was amazing! Thank you!

Mar 3, 2016

I got some great information from Dr. K during the eye exam. Really appreciated the concise explanations.

Mar 3, 2016

I like that the latest equipment is always in use

Mar 2, 2016

Got my Ortho-K lenses today Friday after a late Wednesday PM appointment. Good work.

Feb 26, 2016

On the day of my appointment, the place was filled with many people, waiting for their session. There were barely enough chairs to sit. I waited over 30 minutes. Fortunately, I wasn't in too much of a hurry. Despite the wait, I was pleased with the examination, the selection of frames, and help provided.

Feb 24, 2016

I had a good experience. I also think some of my co worker come to Bethesda Vision Care.

Feb 23, 2016

My apt was only slightly late and it was due to a massive traffic issue in the area that morning. I always find Bethesda Vision Care to be prompt, friendly and helpful.

Feb 22, 2016

Can't ask for much more -- friendly and welcoming staff, always run on time, always take the time to explain things. Appreciate it all! And wouldn't trust anyone else other than Gary with picking out my glasses.

Feb 13, 2016

Eye care at it's best with well explained procedural steps taken during the eye exam.

Feb 13, 2016

I have had problems with adjusting my progressive glasses for several months. Bethesda Vision was very understanding and met with me on multiple occasions to address the problem. After several visits and attempts to fix the glasses, they ordered new lenses. Unfortunately, the new lenses are still problematic. We continue to work through the issues.

Feb 12, 2016

Dr. Katchuk is great. Patient, thorough, and an excellent listener. I highly recommend him.

Feb 8, 2016

Dr. Berenhaus has been my optometrist for 22 years. Throughout that period, I have had the opinion that his work is at the top of his profession, and that he cares about his patients. He and his staff are tops in my book.

Feb 7, 2016

A pleasant, friendly, and efficient visit.

Feb 4, 2016

I have been coming here for years and have always received the most professional and efficient service.

Feb 2, 2016

I appreciate the quality of your lab work. Your technicians did a very nice job of installing lenses in a very old frame. This was not a typical job and they did very accurate work on the installation.

Feb 1, 2016

I have been going to BVC for at least 15 years and have never been disappointed in the service or the results in terms of improved vision. My astigmatism is very severe and to have glasses AND contact lens fitted properly is a real achievement!

Feb 1, 2016

Every visit to the practice is a delight. From simple eyeglass adjustment or my annual exam, the doctors and staff are top shelf!

Jan 25, 2016

Love Dr. Katchuk. He's very professional and kind. Staff is also very helpful.

Jan 23, 2016

I am generally satisfied with my eye care. I was not prepared with the expense of Restasis, but I can't imagine what else I should have expected. This is a good practice, that has been sucked Into prescribing the 'going' treatment.

Jan 23, 2016

All personnel were lovely. Lens prices seem high.

Jan 18, 2016

DR. Berenhaus is the best, most conscientious, knowledgeable and thorough care provider I know. He saved my eyesight. Thank you, Michele

Jan 14, 2016

Always a pleasure to see Dr. Levy. He always explains what he is doing and what he finds. Also love that he is the only Dr. That doesn't make you get on the scale & weigh in upon arrival. LOL

Jan 10, 2016

Really like the facility, staff, and the doctors. Everything is top notch!!

Jan 4, 2016

I was pleased I didn't have to wait past my appointment time because I had plans to meet family immediately after for lunch.

Dec 30, 2015

I did not think the customer service at Bethesda Vision Care could improve, but it has. I think everyone is more contentious in the level of hospitality shown.

Dec 29, 2015

I had my financial options explained to me but truthfully, I've never been fully satisfied by the explanation I get on my benefits. I feel like I'm pushed to use my insurance benefits on getting glasses instead of contacts which makes me feel uncomfortable. It makes me feel like the practice is more interested in selling me glasses than my eye health. I'm really happy with the practice otherwise. I just wish it wasn't such a hard sale on getting the glasses.

Dec 21, 2015

I would certainly recommend this office for an exam. The staff is obviously highly qualified and I enjoyed working with Dr.Levy. It's also great that they have Saturday appointments. Unfortunately the price of eyeglasses there seemed astronomical to me. I had spent quite a long time selecting a frame but did not purchase it when I was told what the cost would be. I have vision coverage and was shocked to learn that the glasses would have been more than I have ever paid, even in a year when I did not have insurance. That was the only negative thing about my visit.

Dec 21, 2015

Been a patient of dr. B for a very very long time would not change for billion $. The Dr's and the staff who have treated me are very knowledgeable and experience in their field (Dr's b and k)

Dec 19, 2015

My experience with Dr. Weitz was excellent. However, when I was paying, the staff told me they would email me my receipt and prescriptions that afternoon. Two days and two phone calls later, I have still not received them.

Dec 18, 2015

Great visit in terms of exam and getting new lenses. Leaving your parking lot, however, is extremely difficult - getting out into traffic is dangerous.

Dec 17, 2015

I've been going to Dr. Katchuk for almost 20 years and he always knows what he's doing. He never rushes me, listens, and if there is a problem, he knows exactly what it is and how to fix it.

Dec 5, 2015

Dr. Katchuk is great, I would highly recommend him/this office to anyone. The front desk team is very pleasent as well!

Dec 4, 2015

I've been coming here for a long time and have always received great care.

Dec 2, 2015

I really enjoy the business. The people are friendly and professional. The only downside is that the lenses and frames are somewhat expensive.

Nov 30, 2015

Best vision care cebter ever. Great Doctor (Dr Levy) awesome eye stylists, nice front desk greeters and secretaries.

Nov 29, 2015

They could me make an effort to be less expensive.

Nov 27, 2015

Cy did an excellent job in providing me with superior eyewear.

I have been seeing Dr. Berenhaus for many years. This last visit was very upsetting for several reasons. While I was waiting for my eyes to dilate, he sent me to Trina to discuss lenses. She wanted me to purchase Zeiss lenses for $1000.00. When I told her I get my lenses from Costco she said "You get what you pay for." I am retired and cannot afford $1000 for lenses, especially when I get a new prescription every 12-18 months. I guess I am not their type of client. Also, I was not told that our insurance was now out of network. After all of these years! I was told we had a balance from the previous May, yet we never received a statement. Also, the front desk told me we have to pay upfront in full, then bill the insurance company. This is not the case, we send the bill to insurance and then pay the difference. Shouldn't they know that? I guess they are more interested in increasing the size of their practice at the expense of good customer service. What a shame!

I've come to Bethesda Vision Care for years. I also bring my daughter here. And my husband comes here at times. I am very satisfied with Dr. Kutchuk and Bethesda Vision Care.

Nov 18, 2015

I have referred several people there.

Nov 16, 2015

Excellent experience as always! I give the Bethesda Vision Care 10/10 on every aspect of my visit yesterday. it IS a very Special place, with very highly trained Dr's & Staff. Thank you all! Deirdre/Dee:-) O'Donoghue.

Very nice staff. Would recommend.

Nov 4, 2015

The entire team - receptionist, technician, and Dr. Berenhaus - are wonderful. Their advanced technology is most impressive and comprehensive.

Nov 3, 2015

Each time I have visited, I've been impressed by the entire staff from front desk, to doctors, to opticians. Even when I have visited on a day when the office is open late, everyone was chipper and very helpful! Shout out to Dr. Katchuk and Aimee for helping me pick out a new pair of glasses! :)

Oct 28, 2015

Waited a bit longer than expected. Dr. Berenhaus is learning how to use the computer medical records system. Overall, pretty much of a standard visit.

Oct 24, 2015

So much time was spent on the new computer system that I felt invisible. I never felt that I had a good eye exam, or that my concerns were addressed

Oct 21, 2015

Always a great experience, staff friendly, helpful & professional, wouldn't go anywhere else, highly recommend!

Oct 20, 2015

Good parking, and the place is very clean, and the staff was very nice.

Oct 19, 2015

I have been going to Dr. Levy for years & he is great at explaining what is going on with your eyes & giving you options, but not pointing you in a certain direction. The staff is also very friendly & the overall atmosphere of the office is pleasant.

I just want to put in a positive review for Char. She went above and beyond for a patient who was having a very stressful day. Needing to pay a significant amount of money for a new type of lenses (progressive) that I didn't feel attractive in was the last straw. Please note that my opinion on the glasses is my own issue - they needed to be larger to accommodate the change in my corrective lens needs, and she found the least obtrusive ones possible. She was very patient and compassionate - she is a great asset to your staff.

Excellent & caring service. Best contact lens specialist in the business. Dr Berenhouse maintains stock of different types of contacts so that patients can try out options to fit and sample wearing until you get it right. Highly recommend dr Berenhouse & the staff of Bethesda Vision Care.

Oct 9, 2015

Friendly, professional, and thorough

Oct 5, 2015

I received excellent service.. Dr Katchuk is such a kind man and very pleasant. I think Katrina is her name. She helped me with finding new glasses. She was very helpful and pleasant, also. I appreciated her offering her opinions on what glasses looked good or not good on me. Great experience. Thanks so much..

Oct 5, 2015

I've been a happy patient of Dr. Berenhaus for 15+ years. The practice is always well-organized and my appointments thorough yet quick and easy.

Oct 1, 2015

Dr. Levy was great. He thoroughly examined my eyes and even asked to have my vision with contacts checked (I did not pay for a contact exam bc my insurance doesn't cover that). No one was pushy about me buying glasses there, I couldn't afford to since I lost my glasses before my insurance could cover them.

Sep 30, 2015

Excellent care. Very well run practice. Dr. Katchuk was performed careful eye exam and explained findings carefully. Office staff and optician (Gary Spritzer) all cooperative, helpful and competent.

Sep 30, 2015

Lovely experience thank you! Very happy and impressed.

Sep 28, 2015

I felt that Dr. Berenhaus spent time explaining my eye health and my options.

Sep 24, 2015

Very good experience. Only complaint - high cost of glasses!!!

Sep 21, 2015

The staff at Bethesda vision care are very professional. The Doctor and their staffs are very friendly. They make your doctor visit fun.

Sep 21, 2015

Dr Berenhaus and the staff are absolutely wonderful. It's why I continue to go all the way to Bethesda for eye care.

Sep 12, 2015

Aug 27, 2015

I am a loyal customer! Great people, excellent care and service.

Aug 27, 2015

I would for the expertise of the doctors and quality of the lenses. The prices on the frames is a bit high for me but you get what you pay for.

Aug 26, 2015

I appreciate the responsiveness of the team and working to accommodate my schedule. In addition, they fit my son in prior to school on the same day as my appointment. Everyone working there is happy and inviting. Awesome place to get eyes checked. thank you

Aug 25, 2015

The staff and the doctors at Bethesda Vision Care have always been welcoming and friendly. The eye exam is thorough. In addition, any fit adjustments to current glasses is done willingly and professionally, even when the patient does not need new eye wear. I recommend this practice to anyone in the area looking for a good eye doctor.

Aug 19, 2015

Gary adjusted my glasses and they now fit better than they ever have.

Aug 19, 2015

Consistently competent, friendly service.

Aug 13, 2015

Very friendly and efficient, especially the nice lady who conducted my vision tests before I saw the Dr.

Aug 12, 2015

Great experience and conveniently located. Wonderful team of professionals.

Aug 10, 2015

Happy Birthday this month Dr B!

Aug 8, 2015

Dr. Levy was great!! I would gladly return.

Aug 5, 2015

My salesperson Ryan was excellent! he was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable!

Aug 3, 2015

I have been patient for over 20 years and I've always received excellent service. You guys are the greatest and now my husband is also a patient/fan.

Aug 3, 2015

I am not sure why a contact lens fitting costs 200 dollars...

Jul 26, 2015

I am extremely particular about my medical care, so it should say something that I have been with Dr. Berenhaus for 27 years. I am always impressed with the care given to my eye as well as my eyesight evaluation. The staff is friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, up to date on the latest technology, and just, plain smart. I am always confident that I am getting the very best care. Highly, highly recommend.

Jul 24, 2015

We really like the team at Bethesda Vision Care and Dr. Katchuk is terrific!

Jul 17, 2015

I've been a patient for over 15 years and have consistently been pleased with the care and consideration that I've received.

Jul 16, 2015

it was a very positive experience.

Jul 16, 2015

I have been going to Dr. Berenhaus for over 25 years and continue to love the experience - his capabilities, his tools, his team, his community involvement and giving back in the US and abroad are all factors in my level of support for his business. He is constantly learning and pushing the cutting edge in his field which is very impressive. I had lasik done in 1998 with a doctor he advised me about and I am still extremely happy with the results all of these years later.

Jul 16, 2015

Love going to BVC! I recommend them any time I am asked.

Jul 15, 2015

The doctor took the time to explain things carefully, provide a quality diagnosis, make sure I received a lot of attention and care, the office was efficient and well organized , and I had a great experience. I'm very pleased with my prescription and frames.

Jul 3, 2015

Excellent in every aspect.
