StarStarStarStarStar World of difference  —    (Patient since Thu Jul 12 00:00:00 MDT 2018)

I’ve been to other practices where patients were shuttled through tests and exams so quickly that there wasn’t even time to consider questions. Dr. Stopak began my exam by giving me an overview of what he would be looking for during the exam, and then he spent considerable time showing me test results and talking about what they mean. He answered questions thoroughly, and in so doing, put my mind at ease. The front desk staff were helpful and pleasant, as was the technician. Highly recommend. I’m glad I’m a patient here.

Dr. Stopak is always great, reassuring. Support staff helpful and very pleasant and knowledgeable!

Needed an appt quickly and was taken care of. Dr. Luthra was well aware of my condition, able to work with me to treat it, gave me good advice, was friendly and concerned. I called my wife upon leaving to tell her what a great practice this was and what an outstading doctor I had.

Dr. Stopak was recommended to me by my Internist. He is a real Professional. He performed Cataract Surgery on both my eyes. My confidence in his work is demonstrated by my referring two Family members to him for Surgery!


StarStarStarStarStar Treated like family. —    (Patient since Thu Apr 28 00:00:00 MDT 2016)

I have been a patient of Dr. Sam Stopak's for decades. I am treated like a member of the family. The exam is always complete, and Dr. S always takes the time to explain what he recommends and why.

StarStarStarStarStar I Found A Great Opthamologist —    (Patient since Thu Jun 21 00:00:00 MDT 2018)

I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive the staff is; they are professional, prompt and very nice. Dr. Stopack is awesome, I respect the fact that he shoots straight from the hip, no bs, he tells you the truth. I felt my questions were answered and he verified (to me) that I made the right choice in coming to him as my new Opthamologist. I'm extremely happy I did.

I like the Dr. Luthra. I have only seen him once, but I have a good feeling about being in his care. He was very nice and was very clear on what I am do to clear my eye infection. The staff was also nice and informative on my health insurance benefits.

StarStarStarStarStar A doctor's office with very high standards —    (Patient since Wed May 30 00:00:00 MDT 2018)

This eye doctor's office is special. I was referred to Dr Stopak by my primary physician and I was glad he did. The receptionists were courteous, professional and efficient in setting up my appointment. The treatment I received from Dr. Stopak and his Technician was top rate. They all worked as a team to professionally assess my case in an effort to properly diagnose the eye problem I was having. I am very pleased with their service and as a result have set up my routine eye exam for next year. Thank you so much.

I’ve been with Columbia Sets Associates and Dr. Stopak since the mid-80’s. Everything related to my care has been performed by them, including Lasix surgery. I could not be more complementary of their professionalism and concern for their patients. I would not think of going anywhere else.

This is send year in a row where I was kept waiting a long time. I understand that delays may occur. A better practice is for doctors to inform the front desk and the front desk to inform patients. For the front desk simply to say "no rooms are available" begs the question but they appear not to have any reliable info.

As a first time patient Dr Luthra explained and clearly answered any question I had. The staff is kind and helpful. Highly recommend Columbia Eye Associates.

Dr. Luthra and his staff were very kind and wonderful. Mahogany was very warm, engaging and understanding, which I appreciated. And Dr. Luthra was phenomenal. He took the time to fully explain my condition, so that I understood it, and provided me with all the right information that I needed to know for the next few days, weeks, and so on.

Dr. Stopak is great. However, it's always uncertain as to how long I must wait to be seen. Also, when I call the office, I frequently get the voicemail and sometimes don't even receive a return call. A doctor's office phone should ALWAYS be answered during business hours.

Dr. Stopak is an outstanding doctor; with excellent clinical skills and patient skills. He takes time to thoroughly explain the diagnosis and proposed treatment. He is the best.

StarStarStarStarStar Excellent Service —    (Patient since Wed Mar 07 00:00:00 MST 2018)

Very pleased with the service I received from Dr. Luthra and his staff. I had seen 3 others doctors for a problem with my eyes, all gave me different treatments that did not work. Dr. Luthra immediately understood the problem I was having and we decided on a course of treatment that started to work right away.

I had a very positive experience at Columbia Eye Associates. This was my first visit. I didn't have to wait long and both Dr. Luthra and the technician who started the process were thorough and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Drs. Stopak and Luthra are both excellent eye doctors that I have seen for care during the past 18 years. During that time I have had one successful cataract operation, effective treatment for a long-standing optic pressure problem caused by my open-angle glaucoma, and emergency same-morning relief from a stubborn, very uncomfortable object in my eye.

I have been cared for by Dr. Stopak for twenty years. He did Lasik for me in 1999 and my distance vision is STILL 20/20. You can trust him . . . with your eyes!

StarStarStarStarStar Dr. Stopak is always the best  —    (Patient since Wed Jan 17 00:00:00 MST 2018)

I've been a satisfied patient of Dr. Stopak's for many years. He is a skilled and personable doctor with whom I've always had good experiences and who I recommend highly for your eyecare needs. In fact, I have continued under his care even though I have moved out the DC area years ago, it's worth the trip. I always appreciate the professionalism, courtesy and kindness of the staff who don't mind providing long-distance service.

I have been a patient of Dr. Samual Stopak for perhaps ten years. I like him and his style... friendly, very through and explains any options for courses of treatment. The office staff is equally friendly and efficient.


StarStarStarStarStar Running Late —    (Patient since Fri Oct 07 00:00:00 MDT 2016)

Staff are always nice and courteous and Dr. Stopak is excellent but regardless of my appointment time, I am rarely, if ever, seen close to the specified time. For my most recent visit, I waited over 45 minutes. Staff needs to advise clients if the doctor is running late prior to their arrival and certainly while waiting. Far too much time is taken from the workday due to delays.

I was treated with great respect and had to wait in the waiting room for only a few minutes before being taken to the examining room where a technician deftly completed the first stages of my annual eye exam. I was relieved to find that not much had changed. Dr. Stopak came in for the rest of the exam after my eyes had fully dilated. As always he was informative and answered each of my questions with clear details. I left feeling a bit bleary eyed but happy to leave having spent less than an hour at the office. Not the usual case for some of my visits to the doc. Thanks.

I had excellent care, however, I had a negative experience relating to my insurance. When I initially called to make an appointment I asked if my insurance was accepted by the office. Upon arrival, I gave my insurance card to the front desk, and I was not told anything. It wasn't until I met with the tech that I was told I would have to pay out-of-pocket. At this point, my appointment had already started, and I couldn't cancel. I had to call my insurance after my appointment to see how I will be able to pay for my visit. If the information provided had been made clear to me from the initial call I made, my expenses would have only resulted in a co-pay.


StarStarStarStarNo Star Late opening :( —    (Patient since Wed Nov 16 00:00:00 MST 2016)

Although my appointment was lovely, I had to wait in the hallway with the rest of the early morning patients ( maybe 6 of us) as the door to the office was locked. Many of the patients were older; some had driven quite far and had to use the restroom. It would have made the early appointment more enjoyable if the office had been open closer to our appointment times.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Stopak for around 20 yrs - since coming to the US. We have found his professional services to be excellent. Fixing an appointment online while out of the country has always been difficult and have not been successful so far, getting no response to our email requests.

Dr. Luthra is superb, he takes time to explain everything in detail, and his expertise and commitment come through clearly. I have great trust in him. However, he always runs far behind in his appointments. And his staff never acknowledged me in the over 30 minutes I sat in the waiting rom after arrival.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stopak for years. He is always very attentive, listens to what I have to say, & we talk about whatever issues I may be having with my eyes. (Nothing serious, at all, thank goodness!) Anyway, I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Stopak. The only negative is sometimes I have to wait for quite a while; this time, for example, it was about an hour after my scheduled appt. when I finally got taken back to an exam room. I had nothing better to do that day, so it didn't really matter. Just a comment.

Dr Sam Stopak always gets 5 stars. He is patient, takes his time, does a thorough exam, does not stress over things, and does not over prescribe anything that is unwarranted.

The quality of service received at Columbia Eye Associates is always exceptional. The doctors provide feedback as they do your exam and suggest options for Lasik, varying contacts, and other services without being pushy. Unfortunately I was not seen by the doctor until 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment start time which was frustrating.

I am a long time patient of Columbia Eye Associates and have never had a bad experience and outstanding results. The worst that could be said is that Columbia Eye Associates on rare occassions have been behind appointment schedules because the Doctors had taken longer in surgery. I see that as caring for those they care for and when needed they are not rushed by schedules in order to deliver positive outcomes.

I have been coming to Columbia Eye Associates for about 4 years, My experience has been nothing but positive. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and dedicated.

This note is not about my last visit, although twice now I have contacted the office by phone and the person whom is answering the phone as the receptionist has been close to curt in answering questions, generally not helpful nor supportive as receptionist that I have encountered in other doctor's office. You might want to take note. As today, the 9th of February, this person when I requested a copy of my last visit (the prescription results) asked for $20.00 charge for this easily electronically transferred information. When I asked to speak to another office person, I was sent to a phone and requested to leave a message (no answer). Not good customer service nor what was once experienced from the Doctor's Stopak, I am sorry to say. Thanks for providing an opportunity for my comments. Mike Welsh mikew@takomaparkmd.gov

It was a great experience. The technician and the doctor were very knowledgeable, nice, and explaining. I wish to say the same about the receptionist who basically shacked her head at me when I approach her with a question regarding my visit. I asked her if it was noted in the system that I was there not for a routin eye exam and before I finished my question, she interjected with "why are you her here then" whit a head shake. I mean, I am not very sincitive but I can tell when someone is being rude to me.

Since the prescribed medication for my eye infection was quite expensive, the pharmacist called your office to see if there was an alternative. She was told you'd call back after consulting with the doctor. According to the pharmacy, there was never a call back, which they find is quite unusual. I ended up using Neosporin antibiotic ointment around my eyes and it eventually cleared up.

Online Fail! Twice I received email notification saying I was due for a checkup. I was asked to submit days and times that would work, which I did. The notification said someone from our office will call to arrange your (my) appointment. Nobody called. Finally I called the office and made an appointment. Your system is not working. Why bother having it if it doesn't yield results?

StarStarStarStarStar Dr. Luthra goes above and beyond! —    (Patient since Thu May 19 00:00:00 MDT 2016)

I've been dealing with a chronic eye issue that suddenly became more urgent. It's been hard to find the right doctor but using a combination of ZocDoc and my elite ninja Google skills I came upon Columbia Eye Associates and Dr. Luthra and was impressed with his background and the consistent and positive review of the practice. Dr. Luthra not only gave me a really thorough rundown of what is really going on with my cornea but also made me feel like my treatment mattered to him. He has an impressive background but more importantly genuinely seems to care and also has the kind of curiosity many doctors have had pummeled out of them by the day in day out realities of seeing patients and dealing with insurance headaches and paperwork. We're still working on a long term treatment plan but there's a lot of improvement and honestly, especially with their office being so close to my work and the office staff greeting me warmly every time, I don't even mind going in every week like I have to right now. Great guy and great practice and I'm lucky to have found them!


StarStarStarStarStar  —    (Patient since Fri Sep 23 00:00:00 MDT 2016)

I was very disappointed to learn the cost of catarac surgery. I have several friends who have had this surgery and paid nothing since it was covered by medicare and their supplemental insurance. I don't understand why there is such a difference.

When I was done they charged me extra $ 60 saying that the Dr only accepts insurance for the vision part of the service and not eye examination. It is absurd. I was very clear that I wanted the appointment for regular eye check up (to be undertaken after 2 years). The Dr's office wasn't transparent about the insurance coverage. I am sorry I am very dissapointed!

I also want to compliment the clarity of the forms I was asked to fill out. The young woman who did the initial examination was most efficient, readily answered any questions I had, and was also friendly, this last quality being very important to me. I instantly liked and felt comfortable with Dr. Luthra. He's outgoing, knowledgeable, not nonsense and yet most personable. I came away with what I took to be a clear assessment of my eyes at this point. In short, my whole experience was superlative.

My only problem is that phone calls are not returned. When calling to make or change an appointment almost always you are diverted to voicemail and those messages never lead to a call back.


StarStarStarStarStar I think Dr. Stopak is the best ophthalmologist I have ever seen —    (Patient since Tue Mar 08 00:00:00 MST 2016)

I think Dr. Stopak is the best ophthalmologist I have ever seen. I had lasiks, including mono vision, 11 years ago and both eyes are still perfect. Dr. Stopak saw me on an emergency basis, so I understood the wait. Also he spends as much time as necessary with every patient. I have with hesitation referred to many others.

I have been seeing the professionals at Columbia Eye Associates since inquiring about refractive surgery. While i was a candidate they suggested I defer because I would likely be a candidate for cataract surgery. I became qualified within a year and have since had both eyes corrected with excellent results. I continue to age for some reason :) and the Doctors have adjusted my care as needed. I am very pleased with the overall care.


StarStarStarStarStar Great office visit, as always —    (Patient since Thu Jan 14 00:00:00 MST 2016)

Dr. Stopak is excellent, and his office staff are first-rate. I always feel completely informed and up to date concerning the condition of my eyes and status of my vision following my annual visits to Dr. Spopak, which I've been undertaking for several years, now.


StarStarStarStarStar Thorough and nice.  —    (Patient since Thu Jan 14 00:00:00 MST 2016)

Enjoyed the front office vibe. And Dr. Luthra was engaging and enthusiastic, even though he was super busy.


StarStarStarStarStar Dr. Luthra is a fine surgeon with a great, deserved reputation —    (Patient since Tue Nov 10 00:00:00 MST 2015)

Dr. Luthra is a fine surgeon with a great, deserved reputation. During my cataract surgery, he discovered zonular weakness -- a rare circumstance that few ophthalmologists encounter. He, however, has done so quite a few times. He knew what to do and had the required non-standard lens and capsular tension ring at hand. Thanks to his experience, this did not become an emergency! Even better, he is attentive, explains everything, and makes sure you leave with all questions answered. His helpful and supportive attitude is outstanding -- he even provides direct contact information should issues arise after hours. The office staff is first rate in all aspects. You simply cannot find better eye care than this.

Dr. Luthra is amazing. He took the time to throughly examine my eyes and explain my condition. The receptionist was very helpful by letting me know how much I could expect to pay out of pocket at checkout. The entire staff was pleasant and knowledgable.

I have seen Dr Stopak for over 20 years, from wearing glasses to contacts and ultimately LASIK 7 1/2 years ago. I have felt very well cared for and could not be happier about LASIK. My vision improved from 20/400 to 20/15 without any side effects or vision reduction during this time.

I have been going to this office for over 25 years as a patient of both Dr Stopak and Dr Luthra and have been very pleased with the outstanding care. Most recently, Dr Luthra performed cataract surgery on my eyes. My eyes presented unusual challenges, but the end result has been wonderful. Dr Luthra is a very skilled eye surgeon who carefully explains what is going on and makes sure that all of my questions are ansered.

The purpose of the appointment with Dr. Luthra was to discuss and schedule my first catharact surgery. Dr. Luthra was patient and understanding about my nervousness, my questions, and concerns. He answered all the questions and we discussed issues surrounding the surgery, the process, the technology, the material used today to make the lens, and the advances in laser technology. Dr. Luthra provided me also with the name and email address of a patient who underwent this same surgery. I plan to contact her. I went to this appointment with hesitation and was nervous regarding the January and February 2016 surgeries. I came away feeling very confident and secure with Dr. Luthra and that I had made the correct decision. Thank you very much. Loreta

I have been going here for about three years and have been very impressed with the practice and staff. The facilities are spotless, the staff is very kind and you can ask multiple questions without being "talked down to." Glad I made the switch from a previous provider. I don't understand the negativity and haters on Yelp and Google reviews for this practice. Guess you can't please everyone and one of every three people is always unhappy in life about something.

I was referred to Dr. Luthra from my PCP, Dr. Ileana Esperaguerra due to migraine head aches I have been having. I was told that Dr. Luthra could get me in within two hours, which I thought was wonderful given I was a walk-in and a new patient. I asked the receptionist if I could take the forms with me to fill out while I waited. She gave them to me and said she may even be able to get me in sooner than what they originally anticipated. I filled out the forms and within 10 minutes was called back by the PA. Dr. Luthra was incredibly friendly, provided ample information and good feedback on my migraine issues. I felt like he wasn't pressed for time and truly took my concerns to heart. Overall, I was so impressed with the service I received and I would highly recommend this office to others. Thank you thank you!

I scheduled my appt with ZocDoc and the receptionist didn't have a record of it. I arrived at 8:30 for an 8:30 appointment and didn't leave the office until after 10am. They dilated my eyes at maybe 8:45 and then I waited until nearly 10am to see Dr. Stopak. He answers direct questions very inefficiently, and talks a lot about things that were unrelated to my inquiry. Generally he seems unfocused but still takes forever. Finally, the office called me the next day to ask about a prescription for contacts that I never asked for and was never placed. The one prescription for an eyedrop that was prescribed will probably be screwed up as a result. Every time I come here the wait is atrocious, even for appointments first thing in the morning; I won't be coming back.

Staff was nice however that did not make up for such a long wait. Also I was billed $60 for a piece of paper Rx for glasses. I will be following up with the office as I don't think that should be the case and haven't been charged this in the past. I have been a patient for many years.

StarStarStarStarNo Star America's Shitty Health Care —    (Patient since Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 MDT 2015)

So, my co-pay was $30. Then there is a quick contract that states $60 for a eye prescription check up. I signed no, but then I might have said a verbal "yes" to the eye doctor. My co-pay jumped from $30 to $90. Um, I guess the rent needs to be paid for these doctor. Other than that, everything was GREAT. One day everything will make a little more sense. I pay $340 out of my pocket for Health Insurance, and I wish that covered the eye exam. But it doesn't, and that lets the saltiness just ooze out of me. I wish the itemized area for eye exam stated: My Medical Bills are expensive as fuck, and this is why there are a bunch of extra cost! It's not this doctors office, it's me wishing the $340 I spend with Blue Cross Blue Sheild would stretch a little further. I'm gonna go vote now. Maybe one day things will change.

What "proper greeting" are you talking about? When I arrived the front desk person was head down, doing something else.When I asked about insurance, she was kinda aloof, until I submitted my questionnaire and wrote all caps that I understood ENGLISH. (I am Asian, in this country since 1969. There was NO explanantion of insurance options. I had to emphasize that Medicare should be the primary insurer, not my Anthem insurance. But, after my exam, she seemed friendlier, maybe because she realized I wasn't a dumb immigrant.She was not helpful either about the refraction cost associated with my visit. What's so hard about saying, "you can call your secondary insurer and find out how tio submit a claim." One can be polite and helpful without being overly smiley and fakely enthusiastic. If I came dressed in office wear, would i have been treated better? I WILL refer this office because Drs. Stopak and Luthra are excellent doctors and should not suffer bec. of office staff.

There was a fire drill in the middle of the appointment. It was unplanned. I returned to office and got back before the office staff. Dr. Stopak was there so we finished up. The nurse trainee did not do a good job with my eye test. Dr. Stopak redid and the results were different, and more inline with the previous exams. There has been some change in my vision but it was not dramatic. The manual test process is not very accuate. Dr. Stopak used the optical maching.

StarStarStarStarStar Interpretation of OCT —    (Patient since Wed Sep 30 00:00:00 MDT 2015)

Besides the routine tests (IOP, Visual Field) I undertook for the first time an OCT. Dr. Luthra explained how it shows thinning of the NFL in both the eyes This establishes that I have glaucoma which however has been diagnosed long back and placed on treatment. OCT will help in assessing progression of glaucoma as NFL changes are supposed to precede visual defects. For that the doctor said he would repeat these tests once in a year to compare and see if there is any further damage to the Nerve fibre layer. This should go along with accurate measurement of IOP and fields. I understood from the visit that the OCT shows anatomical changes while fields are the phisiological counterpart and the IOP the only factor that can be manipulated.


StarStarStarStarStar Terrific  —    (Patient since Thu Sep 07 00:00:00 MDT 2017)

Though I was basically happy with the doctor, I was not happy about the expense side of things. An appointment that I had expected to be a $180 check-up ended up about $800! Also, the doctor said I could order my new contact lenses at the front desk and they would find me the best price. It is only because I checked the prices online and called to say that I would order on my that that I was informed that they were willing to price match if I found a better price. In fact, that happened to me twice. It did not leave me with a good feeling.

StarStarNo StarNo StarNo Star Lasik —    (Patient since Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 MST 1)

I appreciated getting to meet the surgeon during my Lasik consultation, however, I did not feel like the staff who performed my consultation and eye tests were very professional or particularly well trained. The testing was not as rigorous as with the other place I ended up getting my surgery at, where they only do corrective eye surgery and not other procedures. Although the location was convenient for me, I didn't feel comfortable there because they do other plastic surgery procedures and Botox and the other place that specialized in Lasik had more experience and the staff was more professional and well trained. This place was not my healthcare's preferred provider, so it would have been more than 4 times as expensive to get Lasik here as compared to my preferred provider.

He has my loyalty, especially after returning my "emergency" call 7 or so years ago when I was away from DC and experienced what was later diagnosed as a vitreous detachment. Based on my symptons, he explained what likely had happened, put me at ease and saw me the morning of my returned.
