Great experience! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I left feeling assured about my eye health. Thanks for the great service!

I simply can’t say enough about the friendly professionalism of the good folks at Inspire Eye Care. I’ve now purchased 3 pairs of eyeglasses from them, and they have been exceptional with respect to their optometry skills, their expert assistance in picking out and then fitting just the right frames, and their willingness to make adjustments when something didn’t turn out just right. Their “customer first” business mentality and overall friendly demeanor is hard to beat. Highly recommended.

My sister recommended me to this place and I was very pleased with the whole visit. Their staff members were very polite and friendly. The optometrist was very nice and informative. He didn't try to push or up-sell anything and did a thorough check-up. Highly recommend.

Dr. Comaratta knows his stuff, but gave me contradictory information regarding treatment options that could have really messed up my vision if I had followed his guidance. After 3+ years of telling me I was not a candidate for a vitrectomy to address my floaters, this year he said it would be fine. When I asked him what changed, he said nothing had changed, that I had always been a candidate for vitrectomy. This is not true, as I keep clear notes from my visits and he probably does too. I asked this question both during my appointment, and I also called his office and asked again when he didn't actually answer my question. His office never called me back with an answer. So I got a second opinion from a different retina specialist, and was told that indeed I should not have vitrectomy surgery. Interestingly, Dr Comaratta recently got his fancy new laser, which he also said would be a good option for me. My second opinion doctor said the laser treatment could take my one big floater and turn it into a hundred -- just what I don't need! He also said that with 20/20 vision, the risks are just too high to think about messing around surgically with my eyes. So my advice to potential patients is, ask good questions, keep good notes, and get a second opinion!

I have been seeing Dr. Orr since 2000 and appreciate his work and careful follow up following my LASIK eye surgeries. I highly recommend him and the team, Rochelle and Nichol who work with him at the Eye Care Center.

My family has been going here for 18 years. The staff is professional, polite, and friendly. Dr. Rasner is great, she loves what she does and it shows. She takes the time necessary with every patient- we never feel rushed. We are all very happy with her and so are other people we know that go there.

Very good experience. We arrived at the facility sure that our appointment was there and then we were told they could not find our names. It turned out that the appointment was at the Arlington office. We were eventually seen at the facility and this was very meaningful to us since my husband had taken off time from work to take us there. We were very happy to be seen and the doctor was very good. Thanks to the entire team at Advanced Eyecare, we felt like first-time patients should feel and we expect the same or better treatment next time. God bless them all.

Worst experience ever with an optometrist. I have contacts/glasses in the -8 range (actually -7.5 but my Dr Potts had me in up to -8.5 due to my eyes being so inflamed from the products he recommends) so it's not ideal to wear glasses (distorted around edges/no peripheral vision due to such bad vision) much of the day - only in emergencies. His wife is the office personnel and she goes on and on about how many awards Dr Potts has, etc. On my last visit, he actually yelled at me about wearing my contacts "too much" (I never slept in them, we're just talking about normal daily use), because my eyes were so inflamed and I routinely had eye issues that he was unable to help me with after several visits and using his products. After having him yell at me about contacts usage (enough to cause tears but I was quite pregnant so perhaps extra sensitive - though that didn't stop him from being completely and utterly rude) and telling me to stop using contacts (using the only brand he recommends, which I can't remember the name because this was years ago), I decided to go to real ophthalmologists - started with Kresge Eye Institute. She took a look at my eyes and brand of contacts and immediately said they were some of the worst choices - they do not let hardly any oxygen in to the eye and my eyes had been starving of oxygen which was causing serious problems. Tons of tiny blood vessels were growing across my field of vision due to the lack of oxygen, the eye was trying to find other ways to get air. This would eventually lead to blindness. Thankfully, this expert Dr gave me recommendations for proper contacts and many years later I refuse to go to trust any Optometrist to care for my eyes - only professionals /experts, ophthalmologists. Dr Potts also was a bad experience for my husband as well. I currently use Biofinity contacts which lets a ton of air through compared to the ones Dr Potts insists on. Thankfully my eyes are in good health, and on top of that, it took a few months but they recovered from the damage Dr Potts caused and my eyesight is down to -7.5 in both eyes. Do not go here - I would have eventually gone blind under Dr Potts supervision. The office is horribly run down and depressing as well, a good sign to run the other direction. Not professional service and not an expert in his field as much as they love to tell you otherwise. I 100% regret picking his name from my insurance Dr list.

I saw a lot of comments about the medical receptionists. I received a call before the consultation to get to know my situation. I think that was Dr.Chan himself. Dr.Chan is one of best doctors in the field and I trust him.
