Douglas F. Greer, MD

Ophthalmologist

At our Metro Center location, we are the only private ophthalmology practice in the downtown area between the White House and the Capitol, yet conveniently accessible to patients from other parts of Washington DC as well as the Maryland and Virginia suburbs.

Our practice provides comprehensive ophthalmological care — ranging from contact lenses and glasses vision correction to the diagnosis and treatment of emergent and chronic eye disorders — to people of all ages. We strive, when indicated, to schedule patients without delay, to take the time required for both diagnosis and treatment, and to educate patients about their eye conditions, stressing prevention and helping them to maintain good eye health and vision in the context of their overall health status.

    I went to Dr. Greer on a Sunday for an emergency eye situation. ... Since I was there on a Sunday afternoon, his was the only office occupied. For some reason, that unsettled me a bit. However, I chose to ignore the empty offices and I'm so glad I did. I could not have been more pleased with his expertise and delivery of service. After an exam, he knew exactly what I'd done to my eye. He treated the problem, gave me some drops and I was good to go. While you have to pay when you receive his service, he gives you the necessary paperwork to file with insurance. I thought his fees reasonable and he gave me the eye drops at his cost.

    ... He fit me in last minute on a Saturday, thoroughly explained what was going on with my eye and how we would fix it. He checked in on me the next day and several days after to make sure I was feeling better. Despite being an emergency appointment and requiring medicine, his costs were incredibly reasonable.

    Then once again, last Friday night I was accidentally stabbed in the eye with a straw and scratched my cornea up pretty bad. My roommate called Dr. Greer at 7:30 in the morning, he answered, then because we couldn't get to his office due to the women's march he MADE A HOUSE CALL! Literally this man is a god-sent. I was such a mess and so uncomfortable and in 15 minutes he fixed my life. Again, thorough follow up and very reasonable costs. 10 stars for this man.

    Dr Greer is amazing! I didn't think there were doctors like him left after managed care came on the scene. My husband had an eye emergency on a Friday evening while we were visiting DC. … Long story short: Dr Greer answered the phone himself on a Friday night. He saw us next day first thing in the morning and advised us how best to proceed for laser surgery as soon as possible. Aside from his availability, he was smart, nice and empathetic. He even texted us over the weekend and again after my husbands surgery! We don't even live in DC. This man is a gentleman in every sense of the word.

    Dr. Greer is so kind! I am in DC for the summer and over the 4th of July I was helping someone open a champagne bottle. … Anyway, the cork hit me straight in the eye. ... The next morning (a Sunday of a holiday weekend!!!) I called Dr. Greer's emergency line and he could not have been nicer or more helpful. I texted him pictures of my eye and he told me to head to GW ER to get it checked. He stayed in contact with me this past week and I actually saw his colleague, Dr. Allouche (who is a great optometrist) for further tests (dilated pupil, glaucoma, etc.). I am very lucky that my eye is completely okay. Dr. Greer did all this for me while he himself is under the weather, too. Really cannot say enough...if I move down to DC full-time, I know who my ophthalmologist will be! Thanks again Dr. Greer!

    I was in DC for a conference for the weekend. I ended up having a problem with my eye. Dr Greer went out of his way to help me. His office was closed but he still was able to get my issue diagnosed and a prescription in my hands within an hour. He didn't stop there though, he followed up with me via text and phone, multiple times, to make sure I was improving. I really appreciate the level of service I received and would highly recommend Dr Greer to everyone.
