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!

VOA Keyperson of the Year Award
Prestigious Optometric Award for Dr Tina Burr, Clinical Director
Dr. Tina Burr, Clinical Director of TLC Laser Eye Centers in Tyson’s Corner since 2007, recently received the Keyperson of the Year award given by the Virginia Optometric Association. It is also noteworthy that Dr Burr was nominated for the Vanguard Optometrist of the Year award, but has too many years of service in order to actually qualify as the winner of that award.
Keyperson of the Year is presented to the VOA active member who has demonstrated his commitment to helping optometry reach its legislative goals in the U.S. Congress or the Virginia legislature through the Keyperson Program over the last 12 months. Recipients are VOA volunteers who have an existing relationship with a legislator or are willing to forge a new relationship. These relationships come in many forms such as patient, neighborhood, school, church, professional, civic, or political.
This award is quite deserved and we are all very proud of Dr Burr. Her Directorship at the TLC Tysons Corner has helped make the Tysons Corner center well known in the community as a 'safe haven' for Optometric referrals. Her work has been exemplary both in the office and out in the field, helping to build many strong bridges from our Laser Center to the Metro DC Optometric community. 
The Vanguard Optometrist of the Year recognizes the best and most outstanding VOA active member. The recipient is selected for their special leadership, innovative thinking, executive and organizational skills, offering of new ideas, substantive contributions, and effort to the practice as well as the VOA and community and civic or other duties. Dr Burr was nominated for this award as well, however due to her numerous years of service already, she was unable to "qualify" as the winner of the Vanguard award.
I personally want to congratulate Dr Burr on a fantastic accomplishment! It is very satisfying to have hard work and dedication noticed and then awarded. Dr Burr has a great sense of loyalty to her profession of Optometry, and she has earned the recognition of her peers and others as well.
On behalf of our staff at TLC Tysons Corner, the affiliate network of Optometrists in Northern Virginia, Metro Washington DC and the Maryland Suburbs, congratulations to Dr Burr on the accomplishment and recognition. The Virginia Optometric Association made the right choice with this award and they are lucky to have her working on their behalf (and so is TLC Tysons!).
Congratulations and best of luck to Dr. Burr!
