McLean Eyecare Center

I just found good reviews on this place are all quite dated. Recently our daughter went to check her eyes there and it’s some staff who did her eye exam with Dr. Strassman came in the end to give some advice. Not sure if customers are still treated directly by Dr. Strassman or Dr. Goldberg and if that is really what matters. We did not find any issues yet, just can’t say any doctors here are amazing as in these reviews. Hopefully someone could update the review on this place to give us more information.

Since reading all the reviews about this place, I had high hopes and was excited to transfer to a new optometrist. I had called and wanted to set an appointment (I sounded so excited on the phone) and the lady who answered the phone call was very rude and very short with me!!! If that’s how customer service works at this place, then I might as well look somewhere else!

Dr. Strassman is great and their eyeglass selection is amazing. I moved away a while ago, but still come back here to get new glasses. They have an amazing understanding of face shapes and how they match with frames. Great customer service to help make the decision easier since they have so many choices in their frame selection.

I love McLean Eyecare! Dr. Strassman is great, and the entire staff is so friendly. Even my sister who has now moved to California will make an appointment with Dr. Strassman when she is in town. It is always such a great experience at McLean Eyecare. Two thumbs up.

We had eye consultation regarding CRT lenses, and it’s about 15 mins without any examination and they charged us for $ 45 ! Without telling us in advance that it’s not a free consultation nor our insurance is not accepted there. Plus the glass consultation old lady was not with nice attitude, maybe they wanted to get off work sooner? (we were the last patient that day)
Will never go there again and found another nice Dr near GM high school.

Our longtime eye doctor retired, so I thought it was a good time to find a new specialist in our area. After reading the consistent 5-​star reviews of Dr. Goldberg and McLean Eyecare Center, I knew I had to find out for myself.
All the reviews are true. As someone who has worked with optometrists nearly my entire life (been wearing glasses since the 1^st grade), I have had my fair share of eye exams. Dr. Goldberg is simply fantastic. Super knowledgeable, patient, thorough and with a great bedside manner. He takes the time to explain the «whys» in a way that is easy to understand and follow. It’s like visiting a friendly professor who answers all of your questions in good detail. My children and I all had eye exams, and he took excellent care of them and was incredibly patient with my squirmy kindergartner.
I mentioned a recent eye emergency that I experienced before we came to the practice, and Dr. Goldberg made a point to let me know that barring trips out of the country, he prides himself on being on-​call for his patients for emergencies. At a time when many healthcare providers are looking to cut corners, it was impressive to know that there are doctors like Dr. Goldberg who still take their patient care very seriously.
I also found the staff to be very efficient and friendly and also great in administering pre-​tests with my young ones.
As another Unilocaler said, an «outstanding operation» all the way around, highly recommend!

I have been a patient of McLean Eye Care since 1982. Even though I moved from the McLean area 5 years ago I keep coming back to Dr. Goldberg for the annual exam. He has an enormous amount of patience to work with me to find the best (and most affordable) contact lenses for my severe astigmatism. I highly recommend him.

I saw Dr. Goldberg on 7÷1÷2011. I have been to several optometrists over the years, but was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Goldberg and his staff, all of whom were unusually pleasant to work with. Dr. Goldberg patiently listened as I explained my eye problems and very thoroughly tested my vision capabilities more than the other optometrists I’ve seen in the past. He has a spectacular «bedside manner» and is also very knowledgeable about the things I asked him about. His staff is also similarly efficient and professional. Before going in, I found out he was awarded the 2009 Optometrist of the Year. I’m pretty cynical about that sort of award, but in my estimation it was richly deserved. I think he does possibly take walk-​ins but they are sometimes booked up so they can’t take that business on every time.

Dr. Strassman has been my optometrist for 15 years. I cant believe it’s been that long! She and the rest of the staff are great. I’ve lived in California and Washington State and I still go back to see her. They provide excellent service and one-​on-​one attention.

All doctor’s offices and doctors should be as professional McLean Eyecare Center and Dr. Goldberg. I went to Dr. Goldberg yesterday for my two year exam, he was very patient, explained exactly what he was doing, explained the outcome in words anyone could understand, and even helped me pick out my frames while his staff was busy with other people. I have NEVER seen a doctor who went to the level of helping a customer with their frame selection. Keep up the great work, and I will be back.

Excellent service, extremely thorough exam. I am new the NOVA area and needed to find a place for my annual eye exam and glasses/​contacts. Based on a internet research and proximity to my office I selected McLean Eyecare Center and Dr. Helene Strassman. What a great decision! Facility is very clean and modern inside despite the dated outward appearance of the building. I arrived 15 minutes early and after filing out new patient paperwork was immediately taken back for exam. Dr. Strassman spent well over a ½ hour with me discussing contact options and glasses. Glasses prices were very reasonable with a wide selection of styles. Overall a very positive experience and highly recommended.

Dr. Goldberg is the most amazing eye doctor ever! Too bad he put the dilation stuff in my eyes before I could read all his awards, but it looks like he has the key to the city on his wall… I think it’s well deserved! He takes his time to see how your eyes are regardless of whether it’s a big payday or not (I have been to some eye doctors who don’t care about you unless you are making them big insurance $$ from «bad eyes.») Dr. Goldberg gave me the full spectrum of eye tests and explained everything along the way. Best eye doctor on EARTH! THE GALAXY!
His staff is amazing! They do their job and they do it very professionally without getting too overly friendly. Although the office may perhaps need a little makeover, they have this cool rotating machine where they sit in the middle, you sit on the outside of the circle and instead of you and the staff moving to different machines to test different things, the circular ring moves and brings the machines to you!

Great place. Dr. Goldberg showed great patience towards this hard-​to-​fit contact lens patient. After switching doctors a couple times I’ll be sticking with McLean Eyecare Center.

Great place, thorough eye exams… been a customer here since the early 90s, I think I am one of the first accuvue users in the area. Fred Goldberg and staff have an outstanding operation here… no problems… no second thoughts…
