Dr. Andrew Holzman and Washington Nationals Ace Pitcher John Lannan
I was referred to Dr Holzman by the Washington Nationals' team eye doctor, Dr. Smithson. I definitely wanted the best surgeon who would be very careful and make sure everything was perfect. Dr Holzman at TLC came very highly recommended. I felt totally comfortable through the entire process as Dr Holzman's confidence and skill let me easily relax. It was incredibly easy. My eyesight is 20/15 now and I can't believe how much better i can see than before surgery. This was a GREAT decision for me and i am really looking forward to the up-coming baseball season with my new eyesight.

Dr. Andrew Holzman with Major League Soccer Star Alecko Eskandarian of LA Galaxy
Dr. Holzman, I just want to thank you and your staff for taking great care of me when I recently had LASIK surgery at your TLC office. As a pro soccer player, my vision is extremely important and directly affects my performance on the field. Just like anyone else, I had questions about LASIK surgery and made sure I did my research before choosing to go forward with it. After wearing contact lenses and glasses for most of my life, I decided LASIK was the best option and have to admit the results have been fantastic. I am able to see clearer than ever before and haven't had to worry about the frustrations of managing my contact lenses. This has helped improve my quality of life in that I no longer have had to worry about my eyesight, both on and off the field. Thank you TLC!

Meet Your Team
The staff from left to right: Lyzzy Cruz, Eleni Katsikes, Pam Heishman, Kristina O’Neill, Tony Alberts, Dr Tina Burr, Dr Andrew Holzman, Maria Oettinger, Jennifer Phung (not pictured, Joan Reich)
The staff at TLC Laser Eye Center is loyal, dedicated, caring, competent, and friendly. The team's loyalty can be measured not only in years of service, but also in their dedication to their mission. That mission is to provide the highest quality of care while also providing outstanding service to all of their laser vision correction patients. To satisfy this goal, TLC Laser Eye Center employs two patient counselors and one front desk administrator that guide patients through the laser eye surgery process:
-
Pam Heishman is the full-time patient counselor and answers all questions and logistical issues that the patient may have. Pam handles a multitude of important tasks and always has a smile on her face. Patients think that she is absolutely terrific.
-
Kristina O’Neill is a part time patient counselor and handles all of the Internet inquiries. She is dependable and highly motivated to make sure that the process is seamless from inquiry to examination. Patients can count on her to make the Internet easier to navigate.
-
Elizabeth (Lyzzy) Cruz is the glue that holds the office together. If someone needs something, Lyzzy is the first to ask. She greets the patients with a pleasant hello on the way in and makes sure that they are seen in a timely fashion. She is also there to give them a congratulatory smile on the way out. She is dependable and highly competent.
-
Tony Alberts is the office manager. He oversees the busiest TLC consultation office nationwide (Tysons Corner) and handles the undertaking competently, with a calm demeanor. Tony is also a very capable technician, and really a “jack of all trades.” He is always willing and able to lend a hand when it is necessary.
-
Joan Reich is the professional relations consultant and has been working at the practice for many years. Joan is remarkably loyal and dedicated to her job, and she has come to embody the position. Joan handles all of the referring doctors' needs, and makes sure that the affiliate network of eye care professionals has all of the tools necessary to make a laser eye surgery referral. This task is very important, as it ensures that the patient’s care is highly coordinated between the TLC Laser Eye Center and the referring doctor’s office. The practice owes a great deal of appreciation to Joan as her efforts have helped build the largest and most loyal referral network of doctors in the country!
Dedication can be hard to find in employees these days, but this is not the case at the TLC laser eye surgery center. From offering the patient a warm greeting upon entering the office to giving them a hearty congratulations after surgery, the entire staff at TLC Laser Eye Center is fully dedicated to making the patient feel comfortable. They are also dedicated to making sure that every single detail of the data that is collected is scrutinized not once or twice, but at least three times before it is entered into the laser systems. Charts are meticulously policed for any warning signs that the patient may not be a perfect candidate. These tasks are taken very seriously and are handled by an extremely competent team of professionals:
-
Dr. Tina Burr is the clinical director and has been with the practice for more than five years. She is not only the head of the “chart police” team, but she also handles all clinical matters in the office, including pre-op, post-op, and consultative medical issues. She is absolutely the hardest working doctor Dr. Holzman has ever been associated with. Dr. Burr is always striving to do her very best; she takes great pride in her work, and the practice's patients absolutely love her. Dr. Holzman feels lucky to have such a dedicated individual working in his office.
The surgical team is tasked with handling the patients in the operating room as well as overseeing the laser settings and surgical protocols.
-
Maria Oettinger has been Dr. Holzman's right hand for 11 years now, and she embodies loyalty and dedication. Her attention to detail and incredible level of both competency and compassion make her the perfect surgical technician. Dr. Holzman feels blessed to have her in control of the operating room.
-
Jennifer Phung, another surgical technician, might be the most positive, upbeat, and do-it-all person Dr. Holzman has ever met! Her friendly, outgoing demeanor is infectious to all of the staffers, as well as the patients. She is always ready to provide a helping hand to make the procedure easier and the patient's day brighter.
-
Eleni Katsikes is a younger version of both Maria and Jennifer. Although Eleni hasn’t been with the team as long, she can handle all of the surgical and clinical tasks in the office easily, and does so with great competence and a friendly smile on her face. The staff and patients all enjoy spending time with Eleni.
