Testimonials from Doctors

5 years ago I was a contact lens wearer with the additional need for reading glasses to improve my near vision. After attending multiple seminars and observing first hand how Dr. Holzman carefully handles each patient through a LASIK procedure, I decided to trust my eyes with his surgical experience and skills. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to do this. Dr Holzman was able to improve my range of vision at both near and far. It is an easy decision for me to recommend Dr Holzman for my laser vision patients.

I trust my patients’ vision to Dr. Holzman because of his excellent results and patient care.

Vice President Northern Virginia Optometric Society

My eye care practice is located in the community where I live. Over the years, friends, neighbors and other people I meet on a day- to -day basis have become my patients. When I make recommendations for my patients, it is always with the view of protecting and preserving their vision for a lifetime. Over the years that philosophy has made my patients my friends, and my friends my patients. It is important that the surgeons I recommend share the view that the decisions we help patients make are as safe as possible for the short term and the long term. Dr. Andy Holzman is that kind of surgeon. That’s why he not only performs refractive surgery for my patients; he also performed Lasik surgery for my daughter!

As an optometrist who recommends laser vision correction to my patients, Dr. Holzman has always been the surgeon I trust. His clinical expertise, combined with his ability to put patients at ease during what can be a very nerve-racking experience, truly sets him apart. I always knew my patients’ eyes and vision were in the best hands. I’ve even referred my own family to him and had the opportunity to witness his skill firsthand behind the scenes.

When it came time for my own LASIK journey, there was never any question—I knew I wanted Dr. Holzman to perform my procedure. From the moment I walked into his practice, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting staff. Every member of the team genuinely cares about their patients, and it shows. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, take the time to answer every question, address every concern, clearly communicate what to expect throughout the process, and truly listen to your individual needs.

If I had another 10 sets of eyes, I’d trust Dr. Holzman and his incredible team with every single one. I would do it all over again—in a heartbeat!

I have been sending my patients to Laser Vision centers and surgeons for over 15 years. The results and patient satisfaction with Dr. Holzman made it an easy decision when my own daughter decided to have LASIK. The years of seeing the post-op results and amazing surgical skill that Dr. Holzman provides, with the state of the art technology available to him at his center continues to give me the confidence to put my patients and family in his hands. If only he were a better golfer, he would be perfect.

Thousands of people trust me to look at their eyes every year and I trusted Dr. Holzman to take care of mine. I had an amazing experience with my laser eye procedure and appreciate the results every day. I would not have changed a thing about my entire experience with Dr. Holzman.

“Vision, I believe, is the most important of the 5 senses and helping people see at their best is why I became an optometrist. For over ten years, one of the best things I have done for my patients is to refer them to Dr. Holzman. He combines his talented surgical skills with the most advanced technology to not only provide the safest results, but the most accurate as well. And the day after their procedure, I have the pleasure of seeing my patients smile like they never have before. Hands down, Dr. Holzman is THE surgeon I have trusted, and continue to trust, to provide excellence in laser vision correction to my patients, friends and family. “Enjoy your new eyes” courtesy of Dr. Andrew Holzman.”

Dear Doctors, I am happy to report I recently had LASIK performed on my eyes by Dr. Andrew Holzman in Tysons Corner. I decided to do LASIK as I was tired of mild hyperopia/presbyopia, and I couldn’t wear contact lenses because of dry eyes. I had a great experience with Dr. Holzman. I am now two days post op and seeing 20/20 + . I can read without correction. The whole process was awesome.

Please use Dr. Andy Holzman as your preferred provider for your LASIK needs. We can trust that he will take great care of all your patients. He is truly very professional and I am very happy.

CEO, My Eye Dr.

“It’s hard to believe that it has been over 9 years since Dr. Holzman did my LASIK, and my results have been nothing short of amazing. In fact not only did I trust Dr. Holzman with my eyes, so did my father as well as my wife who is also an optometrist. When patient’s ask me who I recommend for their LASIK, it is pretty obvious who I trust.”

– Dr. Paul Colbourne
Optometrist

After many years of watching satisfied patients come back after laser vision correction from Dr. Holzman with excellent vision and clear healthy eyes, I finally decided to treat myself to the same care. In October, 2008 I went from not being able to leave my bed without glasses or contact lenses on to hardly needing any correction at all – and it happened all in one day! Thank you Dr. Holzman! I will be forever grateful!

After wearing glasses and contact lenses since the second grade, the thought of great vision without eyewear or contact lenses was extremely appealing to me. As an eye doctor, I can appreciate the expertise and judgement of a skilled refractive surgeon, and Andy Holzman is an outstanding refractive surgeon. Almost 10 years ago I underwent LASIK, and everyday I appreciate and enjoy the quality of vision that started with a visit to Andy. Two years ago my son, Chris, the medical student, had surgery and enjoys “no glasses, no contacts” and is loving life without glasses or contacts thanks to Andy.

Hello, my name is Dr. Monica Bishop. As an optometrist, I have the knowledge and clinical experience to determine who are the “good” corneal surgeons and who are the “best” corneal surgeons in our area. Dr. Andrew Holzman is simply the best! I have been referring my patients to him over the past ten years. In March of 2009, I chose Dr. Holzman’s caring hands to perform my laser vision correction. It is amazing to wake up every morning and see clearly without eyeglasses or contact lenses. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Holzman for giving me the gift of clear sight!

Sincerely,
– Monica Bishop, O.D.

“I am ecstatic and thrilled! I am a doctor, and was almost giddy seeing my patients this morning!”

“My experience undergoing LASIK surgery with Dr. Andrew Holzman was fantastic. The entire staff is wonderful, particularly Dr. Jen Weigel, who was a huge help leading up to my surgery. I am a local optometrist and perform pre and post-operative care for my refractive surgery patients. After seeing how thrilled all of my patients have been with their experience, how healthy their eyes are, and how well they see after surgery, I felt 100% confident in my decision to pursue refractive surgery with Dr. Holzman. I am now 2 weeks out from surgery seeing 20/15 and my eyes feel great. Dr. Holzman are extraordinary and I wouldn’t have trusted my eyes with anyone else.”
