Douglas F Greer, MD

Dr. Greer is so kind! I am in DC for the summer and over the 4^th of July I was helping someone open a champagne bottle. Classic case of I was unwiring the metal cage when the cork went flying before I was ready (and before it was supposed to… I cannot stress this enough – never trust a champagne bottle!). Anyway, the cork hit me straight in the eye. Luckily I didn’t appear to be hurt and my vision was basically fine the rest of the day, save a little blurriness and pain around my eye. That night, however, I delved into the depths of Web MD and convinced myself of every worst case scenario. The next morning (a Sunday of a holiday weekend!!!) I called Dr. Greer’s emergency line and he could not have been nicer or more helpful. I texted him pictures of my eye and he told me to head to GW ER to get it checked. He stayed in contact with me this past week and I actually saw his colleague, Dr. Allouche (who is a great optometrist) for further tests (dilated pupil, glaucoma, etc.). I am very lucky that my eye is completely okay. Dr. Greer did all this for me while he himself is under the weather, too. Really cannot say enough… if I move down to DC full-​time, I know who my ophthalmologist will be! Thanks again Dr. Greer!

I was in DC for a conference for the weekend. I ended up having a problem with my eye. Dr Greer went out of his way to help me. His office was closed but he still was able to get my issue diagnosed and a prescription in my hands within an hour. He didn’t stop there though, he followed up with me via text and phone, multiple times, to make sure I was improving. I really appreciate the level of service I received and would highly recommend Dr Greer to everyone.

I would like to say thank you to Dr. Greer! I called Dr. Greer to set up an appointment because I have been having problems with my vision. What amazed me off the top was that he asked questions about my symptoms before anything else. That shows a very high level of dedication and concern when dealing with medical problems. I was very eager to meet Dr. Greer but learned later in our conversation that my insurance was not accepted. My gratitude was extended even further after he referred me to another Dr. and asked that I follow up with him so that he may speak with the Dr. about my possible condition. I forgot to call, he remembered and followed up! THAT is what an amazing dr. does!!! For any patient, you want to feel as though the person you are intrusting with your health will take your concerns and physical well being seriously. For anyone who can visit Dr. Greer, I would highly suggest doing so because i wish i could:)

Dr. Douglas Greer is a very professional doctor. He figured out my problem in my left eye in my fist visit. He welcomed me in the front door, which is very warm. He help me do flushing procedures. My problem get mitigated. He is a good doctor with optimistic minds.

Dr. Greer is simply the best opthamologist I’ve ever had. He’s the greatest! Not only is he highly professional, but he makes you feel comfortable and confident that you are in expert hands. You can be sure that he knows the latest research, particularly anything that makes treatment of any eye condition you have easier for you. He is thorough, caring and a real gem. I’ve been going to him for years, and I would not consider going to anyone else, ever.

I went to Dr. Greer last week for the first time due to pain and redness in my right eye. I’ve never had problems with my eyes before. His office got me in the very same day I called and Dr. Greer prescribed drops and ointment that have eliminated the pain and redness (still not entirely sure about what caused those). My only complaint is that because his office sees patients on an emergency basis, they don’t assist at all with insurance so you pay entirely out of pocket and it’s the patient’s responsibility to file with their insurance company afterwards. If I have any problem with my eyes in the future I’d go back to Dr. Greer.

I went to Dr. Greer for a second opinion for my Stye. After the first doctor told me i needed plastic surgery to remove the stye since it was close to my tear ducts. I saw Dr. Greer and he immediately gave me options and before i left his office he drained the stye. Within a few hours i was back to normal. Only down side, I does not work with most insurance companies but i submitted a claim to my insurance and was reimbursed. After all the money and time i spent with the first Ophthalmogist, Dr Greer was my best choice and he delivered results.

This was my first visit to Dr. Greer’s office, and I am highly impressed. He is one of the most thorough and professional doctors i have met in DC. I had come in due to pink-​eye reinfection. Seriously, who gets pink-​eye at 29? I thought pink eye is for kids! But I digress. Dr. Greer did a thorough examination, including a side vision test, pupil dilation, a battery of visual exams, and a re-​examination of my current eye glass prescription. He also asked me detailed and thoughtful questions not only about my current condition but also any past history of illness. He even found that I have mild astigmatism, something that many other doctors in the past have failed to figure out.
His office is in a building right across from the Metro Center. One thing to note is that he will not directly take your insurance information. He prefers that the patient pay their bill (he accepts cash, check, and credit cards) at the time of service, and the individual is responsible for contacting their insurance company for a reimbursement. Nevertheless, I thought that his fees were reasonable and fair.
