Featured Testimonials
Dr. Holzman with Washington Redskins Quarterback Kirk Cousins
“My name is Kirk Cousins, quarterback for the Washington Redskins and I’m a patient of Dr. Holzman’s. I had LASIK surgery a couple weeks ago and I’m happy to say that I’m seeing better than 20/20. I wake up in the morning and don’t have to put contacts in. I don’t have to put glasses on. I can go through my whole day seeing great. It’s going to really help me, not only just in daily life, but, more importantly, on the football field being able to become the best football player I can be and hopefully play football in the NFL for a very long time. So I’m very grateful to Dr. Holzman. They did an outstanding job with me and my fiancée and we’re both seeing great. Thank you.”
Andrew R Testimonial
“PRK Surgery Has Changed My Life.”
For many patients like Rachel who have thin corneas, PRK is typically recommended over LASIK. In this PRK testimonial, she says Dr. Holzman’s treatment has given her greater freedom and dramatically improved vision. She now looks forward to experiencing upcoming life events with far greater clarity.
Dr. Holzman with MLB catcher, Wilson Ramos
Ramos had been prescribed contact lenses to improve his vision, but he had trouble putting them in and dealing with the discomfort of wearing them. As a result, the team sent him back to DC from spring training so he could undergo LASIK with Dr. Holzman. Now that Ramos has undergone LASIK, he doesn’t have to worry about irritated eyes or less-than-optimal vision.
“We decided it was better [to have it] now than later,” Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. He then jokingly added, “He will be able to hit now.”
Wilson Ramos’ hitting has improved in the beginning of the 2016 season causing him to be highlighted by MLB.com with a video and an article about it.
Dr. Andrew Holzman and Professional MLB Pitcher Craig Stammen
The group took exceptional care of me throughout the process of determining what eye surgery was best for me. Dr. Holzman performed PRK on my eyes and the results have been life changing. My “new eyes” will give me and edge on the field and it will continue to improve my day to day life! The fact that I can see more clearer and sharper than ever doesn’t even compare to the kindness, joy, and overall happiness with which I was taken care of by everyone.
Dr. Andrew Holzman and Professional MLB 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 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 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!

Testimonial of Commercial Airline Pilot and Author David Webb
After all my eyes have been through, I consider Lasik to truly be a miracle. So, what have my eyes been through? Well, first of all, I should mention that I am a commercial pilot and, previously, an Air Force pilot. Eyes have always been considered one of a pilot’s most valuable assets. Having good vision has been a concern of mine since the time I entered the Air Force Academy 30 years ago. In my quest to improve my vision so as to ensure my eyes would meet Air Force standards and, later, airline standards, I tried every trick available:
A. Books on vision that actually recommended staring directly at the sun (the authors must have owned stock in seeing-eye dogs).
B. Orthokeratology, which are hard contact lenses designed to forcibly, and painfully, flatten the eyeball to the correct shape. Caution: insanity may be a side-effect.
C. Eye exercises designed by a “doctor” who wore trifocals herself. Any irony there? I think her degree may have been “Witchdoctor” from the University of Hogwarts.
Hard as I tried and enduring great pain and/or expense, none of these attempts resulted in any true improvement in my vision. Then, I heard about Lasik. For years, I was too squeamish to have the surgery. After all, I thought, any mistake and I might not only have degraded vision, but could also lose my job as a pilot.
As the procedure improved my interest returned. Finally, I concluded that if I were to be able to enjoy the full benefits of the improved vision Lasik offered, the time to act was now.
I decided that if I was going to have Lasik surgery, it should be performed by the best I doctor I could find. My exhaustive research led me to Dr. Holzman, a veteran of more than 80,000 procedures. Using Dr. Holzman would require that I travel three hours for the surgery, but I had no doubts that the drive would be well worth it.
The final impetus for me was talking personally with Dr. Holzman. He was surprisingly easy to get in touch with. He patiently and confidently answered all questions and concerns that I had. His staff was also accommodating and a great source of knowledge. On the day of the operation, Dr. Holzman displayed a quiet confidence that let me know everything was going to go just fine. Just a few minutes of surgery per eye and I was a changed man.
One final note, do not be discouraged by the required disclaimers associated with the surgery such as “your vision my not be as sharp as can be achieved with glasses or contacts.” No one is more picky about their vision than I am and I can tell you that my eyes see more clearly than they ever have. In fact, as my last follow-up exam proved, my eyes are seeing the absolute best that they able. What a testimony to the precision of this operation.
I am one very satisfied customer. Don’t wait to have your life improved by Dr. Holzman with Lasik.
If you would like to read the full (and comical) story of my life-long struggle for improved vision before Lasik, there’s a chapter, “Eye, Eye Sir” in my book “Don’t Look Before You Leap” available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
