Dr. "G" repaired my torn retina in 2015 and has been a superb 'follow-up' surgeon for me ever since. He patiently answers all my questions and takes the time to make show me the technical 'photos' that confirm all is going well. Top scores to all the support staff at the Retina Group of Washington as well. Love the free parking too!

Had to have shot. Not my favorite thing to happen but Dr G. did great job! Also has made available to buy pain eye drops which help any pain when I am home. Have been a patient for long time and very pleased with treatment I have received. Also all other support staff very kind and helpful.

Dr. Garfinkel has been my eye doctor through multiple eye operations and at 75 years old, my vision is perfect. He's also an affable person who explains things clearly, and also wears a shirt and tie like I wish I could! (That's just a joke between us.) Beyond Dr. G. the practice is well run with lots of upbeat staff. Someone looking for a vision practice you can't go wrong with RGW and absolutely Dr. Richard Garfinkel, MD.
