I am extremely appreciative and thankful for the attention and care I received from Dr. Roberts and his staff during treating me.
I was kind of worried, but my operation went very very well. When finished the procedure, I did not believe how professional he and his office staff had given me. I see much much better than I did for many years. I wish I did not or was not advised to wait.
To Dr. Roberts, and to his office staff and my thanks for the excellent treatment, care, and care I received. I recommend Dr. Roberts to any person that needs EYE TREATMENT for their eyes. – Faris M.
Dr. Roberts performed IOL (Intraocular lens implant) surgery on me and now every day when I wake up and can see absolutely perfectly, I am amazed. He has a terrific “bedside manner” and takes time to explain everything clearly – as many times as needed. The procedure was painless and only mildly uncomfortable and very quick. The results – great!! The world is once again clear, colorful, and bright! I will never wear glasses or contacts again. Go see Dr. Roberts for a new visual lease on life! – Patricia B.
I had cataract surgery on my left eye 5 yrs. ago. I had my right eye done in September of this year. What can I say the vision is great – more color. The best way to describe it is like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ when she opens the door in the OZ and everything is in color. Bright & beautiful!
I told Dr. Roberts if he was a woman, I would ask him to marry me. LOL…

I can’t say enough about how professional, knowledgeable and kind Dr. Roberts is. I had cataract surgery and was nervous about the procedure. He immediately put me at ease when he explained the process and assured me that it would go well. I felt comfortable asking him questions and he answered them with a great amount of respect, understanding, and patience. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I also loved and appreciated his caring staff. I highly recommend Dr. Roberts. Super grateful for the excellent work he does!

Dr. Roberts and his staff are amazing!!!! From my 1st call to make an appointment to my post-op cataract appointment, he and his staff were helpful, friendly and patient. I am so happy to have found Dr. Roberts. After many years of blurry vision, he totally corrected it. This office was a true find. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Roberts.

Thanks to Dr. Roberts I can see clearly again after he performed a YAG laser capsulotomy (sometimes called a second cataract). He’s a very highly skilled, well-regarded eye surgeon yet takes time to listen & put you at ease making you feel as if you’re his only patient. After several
eye procedures elsewhere with sub-optimal experiences and results, I appreciate the friendly professionalism of Dr Roberts & staff – especially Aaron at the front desk and tech Genesis. Thanx to all!
J C A.
The doctor is great. He explained everything in a manner that was not hard for me to understand. He is passionate not only to his work but to his patients as well. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity for him to do the surgery for my cataracts. My vision is clear and I am much happier. He was amicable from the beginning and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I had a bad experience with a past ophthalmologist, causing me to not have my cataracts treated, but here I felt super comfortable and cared for. I’m even ready and excited to have the next eye done!
Sofia R.
Doctor Robert is excellent. I love the way the take of my eyes. My vision is much better.
Phat H.
I am very satisfied with the fantastic surgery work of Doctor Anthony Roberts. I didn’t feel any pain at all during and after the surgery., Now, everything is sharper and no blur and no glare. I will really recommend him to friends & family. I will ask him to do soon my right eye! Thank you so much Dr, Roberts.
Alphine R.
I am extremely pleased with Dr. Roberts! From my first visit, I felt comfortable with the office. Support staff and most importantly, with the professionalism and expertise of Dr, Roberts. He was patient and took his time explaining my current condition and solutions available. Not one time did I feel pressured to avail myself of his services. The decision was completely up to me to make an informed decision. Today was a follow up to a cataract surgery yesterday! I am turning cartwheels over being able to see so clearly and I am assured that it only gets better, by the way, I’m having the other eye done as soon as possible, thank you, Dr. Roberts!!!
Jeraldine M.
Dr. Roberts is a life changer!

Today is the follow up after surgery yesterday. Both the doctor and the technician explained my progress very clearly and the course of action. I was presently surprised and gratified when the doctor called to inquire about my progress after the surgery.
Ganga S.
I had Lasik eye surgery the day before Thanksgiving. From the moment I met Dr. Roberts, I knew I was in great hands. He carefully explained the procedure to me and performed all required pre-operative tests. The procedure was quick and relatively painless. Dr. Roberts made a special trip to the office today (Saturday after Thanksgiving) to meet me and make sure my eyes were healing properly.
In short, Dr. Roberts goes above and beyond for his patients. He offers incredible service at a fabulous price. Don’t think twice about entrusting your eyes to his care.
Colleen E.
Dr. Roberts helped me so much when I had a Chemical burn in my eye. It was very painful and he helped me with pain. And he saw me right away and I have 20/20 vision now.
– Lisa A.
My eyes sight was bad after I had a heart attack a year ago. I have always had a lot of stress due to bad my eyes sight. However, I met the doctor and got surgery omg my life is new. Real clean I can see and read anything. My feel like I’m back in my 20s. Thank you, doctor!
Yeong
Dr. Roberts and his staff have the remarkable ability to help heal and change lives. Dr. Roberts truly has a gift from above to give hope to those with visual difficulties. His skill is like a miracle, giving better sight to his patients. He truly connects with patients in an emotional and physiological way. I will always remember how he has helped my vision through cataract surgery. I am so thankful because I find beauty in the world around me and everything I see is much clearer. His technicians, front desk staff, and surgical coordinator never complained and went the extra mile to help me through my surgical process. I am so happy.

My Cataract Surgery Experience
The whole experience of dealing with my cataracts was a very pleasant and benign surprise. It was not until my consultation with Dr. Roberts did I learn that my cataracts were very progressed and that I should look to have my cataract lenses replaced.
I was under a tight deadline to fly overseas and I was hoping to put this surgery off for a year. He said I could, but that my vision would likely worsen. I asked him if he could possibly accommodate my travel needs, and he did more than this. He and his very competent staff fit me in faster than I ever anticipated, and both my surgeries are done now and my vision is like it was 30 years ago – and this is now just two days after the second surgery was completed.
Dr. Roberts also took the time to consider with me what kind of enhanced lenses might help me, and we talked about what I mainly do for work, etc. This consultation, along with his testing, allowed him to order lenses fitted to my exact needs.
I could not be happier with the results. Other than a little itching the same day as the two surgeries which may have been catalyzed by my current pollen allergies, it was completely benign and painless. Dr. Roberts even called me the same evening after the surgery to make sure everything was fine.
I am very grateful for Dr. Robert’s very fine work and commitment to excellence – and for his very competent Staff. Special thanks to Jenny too, for her scheduling, coordinating primary doctor permissions, dealing with insurance matters, making sure I understood the pre-op and post-op protocols, etc., – all done flawlessly on very short notice.
My vision is shockingly good compared to what I had grown used to. I am typing this testimonial without glasses on a laptop and seeing like I did in my thirties. Colors are so vivid, details are now seen that I haven’t noticed in years, etc. I am amazed, really. (The only downside is that I see my older friends’ wrinkles now, rather than all of us looking air-brushed, like characters in a 1940s Lauren Bacall movie! 😉 )
In short, Dr. Roberts and his Staff always took the time to answer all my questions, and consistently treated me with great care. Dr. Roberts’ knowledge and surgical skills have resulted in both my eyes now allowing me to see far better than I ever imagined possible. Needless to say, I very highly recommend Dr. Roberts and his Team!
Bruce B. (Potomac, MD)
Dr. Roberts is an amazing doctor. He and is staff worked extra hard to accommodate my busy schedule. Before the LASIK surgery, my vision was horrible. Dr. Roberts improved my vision and I see better than I ever thought was possible. I will always highly recommend Dr. Roberts and the office staff. They provided the needed level of service in a professional and friendly manner. Thank you Dr. Roberts and staff, you have changed my life.
– Happy LASIK Patient
Doctor Roberts was great, was very accommodating. He was also very knowledgeable.
– Dan M.
Great doctor! His staff is really nice and friendly! Highly recommend.
My experience here was great. Dr Anthony Roberts was very personal and did a great job explaining the procedure. My results were better than I expected.
Everything was great, smooth experience while getting LASIK done.
Dr. Roberts is great! He even called me the night after my surgery to make sure I was okay. I can’t believe after having poor vision for 20 years I can now see perfectly!
Dr. Roberts was very straightforward about my procedure. I felt very comfortable putting my eyes in his capable hands. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends.
Great people!
20 years. That is how long I’ve had to deal with glasses and contacts. Not anymore as of yesterday. A few months ago, I had to go to the ER when a contact lens got stuck behind my eye. The next morning, Dr. Roberts, the urgent care ophthalmologist on call, called me personally to ask how I was doing and scheduled me to come in immediately for a follow-up appointment. I was immediately impressed with his kindness and bedside manner even though I hadn’t met him before. At the appointment, he encouraged me to think about LASIK eye surgery since I was an ideal candidate, and years of wearing contacts has only given me problems. I took the leap. My surgery was yesterday morning, and it was a success. My vision is now 20/15. I can’t wait to exercise and enjoy the beach and pool without contacts. I can’t wait to snuggle with my daughter without my glasses getting in the way. I am so thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Roberts. He is hands down one of the best doctors I know.
Dear Dr. Roberts, The cataract surgery that you performed on me this week gave me my life a new beginning. I’m happy I chose you as my eye doctor for LASIK in 2001 and now for cataract surgery. Thank you so much for adding a human touch to my treatment. I just wanted to let you know that you’re an extraordinary human being.
Though I am a retired professional nurse, like most patients, when diagnosed with bi-lateral cataracts, the idea of cataract surgery brought with it a level of fear and apprehension. However, I was extremely lucky to have as my Ophthalmologist, Dr. Anthony O. Roberts MD, Eye Physician and Surgeon. He is considered as a leading ophthalmologist, excelling in cataract surgery and laser procedures at the U.S. National level. The overall experience was not as daunting as I thought it would be. This was due to the excellent communication that Dr. Roberts and I had established. He demonstrated superb skills during both surgeries, where I hardly realized the procedure was being performed. The communication between the doctor and his team’s professional approach, regarding the preparation, resulted in an increased level of confidence and trust throughout the management and actual surgery and post-operative care of my cataract removal. I highly recommend Dr. Roberts and his team. A grateful patient!”
Dr. Roberts was wonderful as well as his staff. He listened and understood my concerns. I was extremely frightened however, the surgery went very well and I can see beautifully. I highly recommend Dr. Roberts- He is fantastic! I would recommend a friend or family member to Dr. Roberts!

Dr. Roberts was excellent in his service and the rest of his staff was great as well. Everyone in the office was very pleasant. Dr. Roberts thoroughly explained the procedure to me in my consultation and he made me feel very comfortable during the actual procedure. Dr. Roberts made it a priority to give me a phone call later that night to make sure that everything was still ok and to see how my vision was. Overall I am thoroughly pleased with the results of the procedure, not to mention I now have 20/20 vision. I recommend Dr. Roberts services to anyone who is interested in improving their vision.
Overall my experience has been amazing. The staff and Dr. Roberts have been a great help before, during, and after my surgery. I highly recommend to all my friends and family to come here. Dr. Roberts explained to me everything in depth before my surgery. He made me feel very confident about having it done. I originally was going to have surgery done at another place but right off the bat he made me feel secure about the procedure. In the end I chose for him to do it and I don’t regret for a minute. – Thank you!
I give thanks to the doctor and staff members for your kindness and perfect attention to me …. God bless you all.
Dr. Roberts is great – took the time to explain everything and all my options. The PRK procedure went great, highly recommended. Went to a lot of places before coming here (TLC, LasikPlus, etc etc) and was never able to sit down with the surgeon 1 on 1 to discuss my needs.
-Calvin Nguyen
“I am a first time patient of Dr. Anthony Roberts, having been referred to him for cataract surgery by my primary physician, Dr. Alan Sheff. I readily admit that I am not a good patient. But upon meeting Dr. Roberts, and having him explain the surgery, my disposition quickly changed. Dr. Roberts is an understanding, patient, kind and most importantly, an extremely competent ophthalmologist. In the operating room, his voice alone, assures you that the procedure is going well, and your fears are unnecessary. The aftercare he gives you is extensive, and he answers any and all questions so that you are well informed. He always has a smile on his face, as do all the members of his competent staff. I highly recommend him and am happy that I was under his care for my cataract surgery.”
Alice L. Haber
LASIK Surgery: “The best money I have ever spent. From the staff to Dr. Roberts, I felt welcomed, cared for and reassured every step of the way. I loved that the doc called me the evening of my procedure to see how I was doing. Nice touch Doc… Thanks to all at Shady Grove Ophthalmology!
Michael Scarano, M.D.
Rough out my Air Force career the flight surgeons always told me “stop leading with my head” I had several crashes and numerous surgeries but none of those excellent physicians and staffs compare to Dr. Roberts. His professional practices and concern for his patients set a very high standard in the profession. He is a truly conscientious and sincere surgeon and I consider a friend as well. I have been asked by virtually everyone I know and have met how my surgery went. Outstanding seems so trite in describing his skills as a surgeon. To say I’m very pleased and grateful for his treatment and skill seems inadequate but there will always be a sincere gratitude for him as a surgeon and compassionate human being.
With the deepest appreciation and respect,
James A Crickenberger
Like most people, I was quite fearful to have my cataracts removed and lens replacement surgery. Dr. Roberts put my fears to rest because he answered every question and was kind and patient. I can tell you now that this surgery is a cinch and Dr. Roberts is a gem. When I arrived for pre-op, I was surrounded by caring, efficient people who kept me at ease and continued to reassure me that “this is going to be easy”. Sure, I thought, it’s not your eye….but…they were absolutely right. I had no pain, as a matter of fact, I didn’t even have discomfort. It went so well I had no fear when I had to have my other eye done 7 days later. I am healing so well and that is a testament to the skills of Dr. Anthony Roberts. I highly recommend him.
Santiago Morales
My experience with Dr. Anthony Roberts has been excellent. The surgery was painless and after the surgery there was no discomfort or swelling at all. It was an amazing experience to be able to see so clear the highway signs and the richness of the colors around me. Dr. Roberts took the time to call me at home to see how I was doing, this gesture alone speaks loud of the car he demonstrates for his patients. I strongly recommend Dr. Roberts.
Carlos N.
My experience was phenomenal, all the staff is friendly. Dr. Roberts treated me well, was very helpful in explaining the process. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. Roberts. Thank you for giving me a new view of life. 🙂

Andray A.
Doctor Roberts is great he takes his time listening and explains everything. Great staff everyone is friendly his techs are awesome.
Mary
Dr Roberts was wonderful. I was treated for a cataract which had significantly reduced vision in my right eye. Dr. Roberts walked me through what to expect with the surgery beforehand. The surgery was completely painless and took less than 30 minutes. I now have my pre cataract 20/20 vision restored one day after surgery. I can highly recommend Dr. Roberts and his team!!!
Robert H.
Dr. Anthony Roberts is a great doctor-competent and friendly. His office staff is courteous and accommodating. I had cataract surgeries in both my eyes with laser and could not be more satisfied! I highly recommend Dr. Roberts.
Rakesh Bansil, MD (DOCTOR)
The office staff was so professional and courteous and the doctor was very reassuring about post-operative progress so happy with results!
Suzanne T.
Dr. Roberts did cataract surgery on my left eye and I can see better than I have in years. The procedure was so quick and easy. The surgery center was great Dr. Roberts is very professional yet friendly and easy to talk to. His office staff is excellent. I never had a problem getting an appointment and have never waited long in the office.
Jane G.
Dr. Roberts and his office staff are excellent and were a lifesaver. His assistants are very sweet, professional, and good at what they do. I was so impressed with this medical office because it is so pleasant and friendly. Dr. Roberts fit me in that day and saw me quickly. I was so thankful. Also, Dr. Roberts is great and truly cares about his patients.
– Nora L.
Dr. Roberts always takes time with me. The staff is wonderful. Once I came on the wrong day, they took me as if it was my reg. appointment day. I didn’t know until I went home and looked at my paperwork! This is how great they are!
Patricia Young
Dr. Roberts’ a very warm and easy going doctor. He did my LASIK procedure and then followed up with me that night to make sure everything was ok. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants LASIK done. Thanks, Dr. Roberts!

Excellent service and friendly staff. Would and have recommended them to others.
Dr. Roberts is essentially a miracle worker. Everything was smooth and easy and went just as he said it would.
– Caleb
Amazing service, very professional. I was impressed.
– ANCA B.
The most painless experience I have ever had visiting ANY doctor. They give you an option for the same day surgery after the consultation, the doctor went over every detail, answered any questions that you have. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They even go an extra step to give you coupons for prescriptions. Will definitely recommend this place in a heartbeat!
Very professional. Kind & friendly staff. Highly recommend!
I have been recommending Shady Grove Ophthalmology to all my friends because of the wonderful experience. I love Dr. Roberts and his staff and the work that they do has truly been life changing.
Dr. Roberts and staff: you guys are spectacular. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for taking such good care of me and my eyes!
My experience with Dr. Robert’s was absolutely amazing. A friend of mine called me a week after her LASIK surgery just raving about how I just had to get mine done with Dr. Roberts. My vision was -5.75 in both eyes and since I had been thinking about getting LASIK for about four years I made an appointment immediately for a consultation. They gave me the option to sign up for same day surgery if I choose to do my surgery with them and so I made sure to keep my soft contacts out for a week just in case.
My experience in the waiting room was wonderful as everyone I encountered there were so friendly and they all just seemed so happy. During my consultation Dr. Robert’s explained my options and the percentages of the risks and did not pressure me in anyway when I was choosing between PRK and LASIK. I decided on LASIK because of the quicker recovery time and that I would do my surgery that same day.
I was very very nervous to get my surgery done and since many of the ladies who worked in the office had theirs done with Dr. Roberts, knowing this really eased my nerves. The procedure was very quick and Dr. Roberts explained everything as he was doing my surgery.
I had my surgery on September 30th, 2015 and I couldn’t be happier. Everyday my vision gets better and Dr. Roberts has made himself available for any questions that I have had. I would highly recommend Dr. Robert’s for your LASIK!! You won’t regret it!!
I am very pleased with the results of my LASIK procedure. Your operating room teddy bear was very comforting and helpful so I bought him a friend. Thanks again.
Excellent experience with my PRK procedure by Dr. Anthony Roberts. I knew I wanted to get vision correction surgery for a while now, but waited until it was a good time for me to get it done. Of course I was nervous & scared because eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of your body. I went to consultation and Dr. Roberts explained the procedure to me & explained to me what was going to happen since PRK has a longer recovery time than Lasik procedures. I made my appointment for PRK two weeks after my consultation. The procedure took exactly 5 minutes each eye and I was able to see better than what I was use to immediately. The procedure is painless. I didn’t experience any pain post procedure, although there may be mild discomfort to pain for PRK clients. I was so happy with the results (still in recovery as i’m typing this review) but my eyesight is amazing. I can see very clearly besides tiny details (which is what I could basically only see before the procedure) but its going to take a few more weeks to reach 100% of my eyesight. Very happy with my procedure. Dr. Roberts is very professional and did a great job. (Sat in the waiting room longer than I would’ve wanted to – but honestly its so worth it for this eyesight).
I shopped around for where I was going to get my vision correction surgery about a year before I actually got it done. Shady Grove Ophthalmology offered the best price for the procedure and the quality is outstanding.
Cataract surgery: I’ve been very happy with the results! I had a great experience with Dr. Roberts, and I wish I would have done this sooner. I recommended him to all my friends, immediately after doing the first eye!
When my cataracts suddenly became an issue, my physician referred me to Dr. Roberts at Shady Grove Ophthalmology. I liked him immediately. His open, friendly, relaxed manner put me at ease right away. He explained the procedure fully and just as importantly, he really listened to my concerns and addressed each issue. I’d been told by another doctor that my surgery was going to be extremely difficult because of my intolerance to certain drugs. Dr. Roberts explained how we could circumvent the problem and made this life-altering surgery an easy decision to make. It’s so nice to no longer need glasses when I read or drive a car. Dr. Roberts is terrific. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Great experience! Very, very glad I got the procedure done and have NO issues with my vision whatsoever!!! PRK is a blessing and so is Dr. Roberts!
It is great to have perfect vision, would recommend this to anyone with glasses!
“Doc, 
Thank you for taking care of me and my eyes! Wishing you the best for the holidays and New Year!
Very professional and personable office setting. All of my questions were answered before I even had to ask them. Lasik was quick, easy, and painless and I could see immediately – back to work the next day. Dr. Roberts is the man and his staff is the best!
– Nick Jowers
“When searching for a doctor to perform my LASIK Surgery, we looked through many doctors in the New York and New Jersey area. After speaking with the staff at Shady Grove Ophthalmology, it was a very clear decision to choose Dr. Roberts to perform the surgery. I am beyond pleased with the professionalism and outcome of the surgery, and will definitely be recommending Dr. Roberts to many more friends, family, and teammates! I couldn’t be happier! “
Austin Howard ‘GO JETS’
LASIK Custom: “From start to finish everything went perfectly. My surgery was at 1 pm, by 7 pm I was seeing clear and it was like I never had the surgery 6 hours prior. I woke up the next morning and was seeing even better. This was one of the best choices I have ever made. I will be singing my praises of Dr. Roberts to my friends, family, and co-workers.”
Charles Lawson
“I underwent the PRK procedure at Dr. Roberts’ Shady Grove office. He and his support staff were completely friendly and helpful throughout the pre-op and post-op processes. Dr. Roberts was very detailed and precise about my choices between PRK and Lasik. After I decided on the PRK, he thoroughly led me through the post-op and recovery times and procedures. All of his information has been spot on as scheduled. I would definitely recommend anyone who has considered laser vision correction to at least schedule a consultation appointment. Dr. Roberts and his staff will make you feel welcomed and lead you to the best decision for you!”
Anthony Armstrong – Washington Redskins Receiver
In the past 18 months, I have had 2 torn retina surgeries. I was told I would need cataract surgery within 18 months of those surgeries. My eyesight deteriorated quickly after these surgeries, however, I was a little apprehensive of more eye surgery and waited a few months longer than I had to. I went to Dr. Anthony Roberts for my cataract surgery on Friday, March 16, 2012. That afternoon and evening I felt some slight irritation in the eye but could also tell the vision was already much better. By Saturday my eye felt like I had not had any surgery except for the improvement of my vision. I have to wait 4 more month’s for the other eye to fully recover from the retina surgery but have been so happy with the results of my surgery that Dr. Roberts performed I wish I could do the other eye immediately. Thank you so much, Dr. Roberts, for giving me my vision back.
Sincerely,
Phillip Webb
Dr. Roberts is an outstanding ophthalmologist. I have worn glasses my entire life, but now, after cataract surgery, I can see up close and for distances. Thanks to Dr. Robert’s expertise, I can now see perfectly without glasses. I recommend him for any vision issues because he is the best!
Sarah M Lendrim
I give my highest recommendation, without reservation, of Dr. Anthony Roberts and his staff. Dr. Roberts is extraordinary, very capable, educational, and personable. He is very patient with his patients. Having had cataract surgery myself, and my son had LASIK surgery, our vision has improved to 20/20. You’ll be well served to use the services of Dr. Roberts. You will be pleased that you did.
John Pontius, DPA
I am truly amazed that something I have been fearing so long (Cataract Surgery) turned out so well. There were absolutely no problems, no pain and no setbacks. My vision is the operated eye is now 20/20 and I can see out of that eye with no eyeglasses, and I know have my new “Most Favorite Doctor” – Dr. Anthony Roberts. At our first meeting he made me feel confident of him and the surgery, and he did not let me down. I have already scheduled the same surgery for my other eye for next month. I also want to say how wonderful everyone in his office is. Everyone is so helpful and friendly and made this a wonderful experience for me.
James D.
Both eye surgeries went great. Dr. Roberts fully explained the procedure in detail, told what I’d be feeling in advance. All the staff, at his office and the surgery center and hospital were so considerate and kind. It was a really wonderful experience, best part I can see again! The surgery was at Shady Grove on 11/12/19 at 8:00 AM. I can’t think of anything that could have been done any better.
Elaine K.
Dr. Roberts is a very dedicated doctor towards his patients as he takes his time with you and works with you to find the best treatment plan. I recommend him 100% he is an amazing doctor. I love that not only he is my doctor he can become an amazing friend. The employees are very respectable and kind. They take their time with all the exams and make you feel at home and comfortable before seeing Dr. Roberts. I would like to applaud the amazing technicians because they are doing a great job for the office and Dr. Roberts. Thank you, everyone!!
Yolanda V.
Dr. Roberts was the 3rd doctor I saw to consider getting PRK. Very glad I chose to do the procedure here. Dr. Roberts and all the staff were amazing, very responsive, and it was very easy to call and set up appointments. Dr. Roberts explained everything very well and the surgery was quick and painless.
Matthew L.
Dr. Roberts was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating through my LASIK evaluation, procedure, and post-op. I would absolutely recommend him.
Rayon
Great service. Amazing results! Thanks, Dr Roberts
Rosiest O.
I had an excellent experience!! Everyone was very friendly!! I was very nervous about the procedure, but my husband got LASIK last year by Dr.Roberts and was very happy with his eyes and I finally came in to have it done. Dr. Roberts made me feel very comfortable and explained everything in detail and helped me feel calm by giving Xanax to get through the procedure. He even called me that night after the procedure to make sure I was doing good and if I had any questions!! The next morning I can see so clear and I am very pleased with the service and very glad I finally got it done! I highly recommend Dr. Roberts!!!
Lisa W.
Dr. Anthony Roberts was awesome! The office was able to fit me in for a consultation and a week later I had my LASIK eye surgery! Within 4-6 hrs I was about to see pretty well. The next morning I was able to see even better than when I wore my contacts. Dr. Roberts’ prices are very reasonable and offers a lifetime warranty for touch-ups. I would have had to pay $1100 more at another eye center. Of note, when looking around for eye centers, yes first and foremost is the credentials of the doctor, but also if the doctor leases or owns the laser machine. The price will tend to be less of the center owns the machine, to which Dr. Roberts Owns his. Just food for thought. I’m extremely happy w the results, the staff and faculty were really nice.
Mary E.
Dr. Roberts did my LASIK a week ago and now I’m back to 20/20. I started wearing glasses since sixth grade and I hated them so much. Dr. Roberts and his staffs were very thorough with the initial consultation and pre-op/post-op procedures. He would explain what he was doing during the surgery and made me at ease. The surgery was short, less than 15 minutes, and I could see so much better right away. I went home and rested for a couple hours and Dr. Roberts even called me to check on me the same night and 2 days later. Today I went back for 1 week check up and I’m back to 20/20. I’m so grateful for Dr. Roberts and his staffs. My friend recommended him to me which he preformed LASIK on her 3 years ago and still has the perfect eyesight now. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made!
Annie L.
I had a really positive experience at Shady Grove Ophthalmology. I had PRK surgery. Dr. Roberts explained the process and walked me through everything during the surgery. He even called me on a Sunday evening to follow-up with me making sure I was feeling okay after the surgery. The front office staff was also friendly. I definitely recommend Dr. Roberts!
-Sharon C.
I highly recommend Dr. Roberts. I had the PRK done in 2016 after Two years ago I have no problems at all. On June/2018 my mom, she is 65 years old have done cataract surgery as well he also correct her astigmatism at the same time, I just can say I feel so blessed that I find an excellent Dr. My mom’s vision is perfect now thanks to Dr. Roberts. Some people complain about the waiting time on the surgery day( done in a surgery center), but everything is worth it. You have to know is a process from the time you check in, insurance paperwork, signing consents, preparing for surgery, Review medical history and medications. Last check by Dr. Roberts. “That takes time”, it’s not a walk in consultation you’re going. For LASIK is super fast because is done in the same office… I’m planning to bring my brother next year for LASIK surgery. 🙂

Had cataract surgery with Dr. Roberts and couldn’t be more satisfied with results, my vision was 20/20 already the day after surgery. Was impressed that Dr. Roberts followed up the evening after surgery with a phone call to see how I was doing. Would highly recommend Dr. Roberts for his professionalism and use of latest technology. The office staff is also professional, thorough and very helpful. Great overall experience.

Love it! Thank you for providing me a lifetime change and unbelievable experience.
The staff and Dr. Roberts were very professional and walked me through every step. He was very honest too. He was aware that I purchased the Groupon for two eyes, but said my right eye didn’t need it. So, he refunded me the difference on the spot.
I really loved this experience. My both eyes are 20/20 now.
It is worth 10x what I paid for. Being able to see without glasses is nothing short of incredible!
So happy I went for it! I have a whole new outlook on life 
The best there is.
Great facility, friendly staff and best doctor!!
Pleasant staff, low wait time and most importantly great Dr. Very good explanations and so far, good results-will return in 6 weeks for a recheck.
September 1st was the day I had my right eye cataract surgery. I now see in stereo with both eyes. All phases of both surgeries went exceptionally smooth and recover was excellent. Everyone involved preformed professionally and made the experience most enjoyable. Thanks to you, your staff and the surgical group. Keep up the excellent services!
Dr. Anthony Roberts is both highly skilled and very caring about his patients as people. He was recommended by my husband’s oncologist, who’s opinion we respect. We liked Dr. Roberts on first meeting. He knew I was concerned about any kind of eye surgery, but he reassured me and inspired my confidence. Cataract surgery on both eyes at a 2-week interval went without any complications. On the evening of the first surgery I received a phone call inquiring how I was doing. Just fine! The blurred vision had already cleared. For the second eye, vision was still blurry the next day but had cleared up by the morning of the second day after surgery. It feels very good not to have to wear glasses all the time. Distance vision is fantastic. Just reading glasses for close up work. And I now see brilliant deep blues, instead of muddy ones. I’m very pleased with the results and would recommend Dr. Roberts to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Roberts.
The whole experience of dealing with my cataracts was a very pleasant and benign surprise. It was not until my consultation with Dr. Roberts did I learn that my cataracts were very progressed, and that I should look to have my cataract lenses replaced.
I was under a tight deadline to fly overseas and I was hoping to put this surgery off for a year. He said I could, but that my vision would likely worsen. I asked him if he could possibly accommodate my travel needs, and he did more than this. He and his very competent staff fit me in faster than I ever anticipated, and both my surgeries are done now and my vision is like it was 30 years ago – and this is now just two days after the second surgery was completed.
Dr. Roberts also took the time to consider with me what kind of enhanced lenses might help me, and we talked about what I mainly do for work, etc. This consultation, along with his testing, allowed him to order lenses fitted to my exact needs, and which did not increase my out of pocket costs.
I could not be happier with the results. Other than a little itching the same day as the two surgeries (which may have been catalyzed by my current pollen allergies), it was completely benign and painless. Dr. Roberts even called me the same evening after the surgery to make sure everything was fine.
I am very grateful for Dr. Robert’s very fine work and commitment to excellence – and for his very competent Staff. Special thanks to Jenny too, for her scheduling, coordinating primary doctor permissions, dealing with insurance matters, making sure I understood the pre-op and post-op protocols, etc., – all done flawlessly on very short notice.
My vision is shockingly good compared to what I had grown used to. I am typing this testimonial without glasses on a laptop, and seeing like I did in my thirties. Colors are so vivid, details are now seen that I haven’t noticed in years, etc. I am amazed, really. (The only downside is that I see my older friends’ wrinkles now, rather than all of us looking air-brushed and slightly sepia-toned, like characters in a 1940s Lauren Bacall movie! 
)
In short, Dr. Roberts and his Staff always took the time to answer all my questions, and consistently treated me with great care. Dr. Roberts’ knowledge and surgical skills have resulted in both my eyes now allowing me to see far better than I ever imagined possible.
Needless to say, I very highly recommend Dr. Roberts and his Team!
Dr. Roberts, thanks so much for giving me back my eyesight!! It is amazing what I have been missing for years!! Working with you and your staff has been an incredible experience both at your office, and the Shady Grove Adventist Hospital!! -Thanks Again,
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PRACTICE HAS BEEN GREAT. -THANK YOU!
Dr. Roberts is an amazing doctor. He and is staff worked extra hard to accommodate my busy schedule. Before the LASIK surgery, my vision was horrible. Dr. Roberts improved my vision and I see better than I ever thought was possible. I will always highly recommend Dr. Roberts and the office staff. They provided the needed level of service in a professional and friendly manner. Thank you Dr. Roberts and staff, you have changed my life. – Happy LASIK Patient
Dr. Roberts is wonderful I couldn’t be happier
“On November 11, 2014, Dr. Roberts performed cataract surgery on my mom’s right eye. Years ago, her left eye was injured and unfortunately, the delay in having surgery caused her to lose her sight. Dr. Roberts gave us confidence that we so much needed at that time. He took the time to explain the procedure and what to expect after surgery. I was nervous for my mom and Dr. Roberts sensed that. He would say several times that -” We are going to take good care of her, don’t worry!” On that day, not only did Dr. Roberts give her sight back, he gave my mom her life back! For my mom- everything is new, much brighter and clearer- full of colors!!” Thank you, Dr. Roberts, for your compassion, patience and “gift” of restoring sight. God Bless You and Your Exceptional Staff!”
Sincerely, Carmen Cueva & Elizabeth Cueva
Dr. Roberts,
Thank you so much for being so selfless and taking time on your day off to do my LASIK surgery. Because of your kindness and professional procedure, I can see better than I could have ever imagined. Because of your thoughtfulness and helpfulness, I was able to achieve my lifelong goal of becoming a Police Officer. Thank you again for all that you have done. May God bless you and your family!
Sincerely,

Cataract Surgery: “Very satisfied with the staff and Dr. Roberts. Very helpful, very professional.”

Cataracts: “So, you need a good Ophthalmologist? I know one! Dr. Anthony Roberts specializes in Laser Vision Correction, Cataract Surgery, Glaucoma, Diabetes and Comprehensive Eye Care and is a Godsend man with anointing hands. He is full of knowledge and wisdom, and he knows his craft! Dr. Roberts and his staff from the receptionists to the nurses have that professional manner in calming patient’s minds and nerves with such kindness. I, Peggy Burriss have had both, cataract and glaucoma surgery and I am an eye witness to their professional services. So call Dr. Roberts up and be blessed with good sight.”
I have seen the most amazing year, thanks to Dr. Roberts! I had always been very nearsighted and wore hard, then gas permeable, contact lenses for 45 years to correct the nearsightedness (and had to use reading glasses as I got older). When my eyes couldn’t stand the contact lenses anymore, I was left with only bifocal eyeglasses. Then my range of vision was limited. Dr. Roberts suggested that, since I also had cataracts, he could replace my lenses with the Toric lenses and correct both my vision and cataracts. I agreed to do it. Everything was explained to me and every question was answered. The surgery in each eye was non-eventful with little, if any, discomfort. The recovery was quick and I was back at work after a restful day at home. I can see without glasses or contact lenses for the first time that I can remember. Dr. Roberts also adjusted my vision so that I don’t need reading glasses either. My life has changed dramatically for the better! I’m going rafting down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon this summer. I can’t wait to SEE the beauty of it! I can’t imagine how hard it would have been to travel down rapids with glasses or contact lenses! Dr. Roberts has been my caring and trusted ophthalmologist for many years. I didn’t realize until now, what a miracle worker he was.
Thank you, Dr. Roberts!

With his exceptional care and expertise in LASIK eye surgery, Dr. Anthony Roberts has changed my life. I came to him with vision that
was so poor, seeing anything passed 6 inches of my face without the help of my glasses or contacts was truly impossible. I had been living and suffering this way since I was 4 years old, when I had to get my first pair of glasses. By 11 years old, I started wearing contacts and have worn them everyday ever since. I really have never known what it felt like to see. Even with corrective wear, my vision was still blurry. I have never been able to see the “Big E” on the eye chart, and while many people have the ideal 20/20 vision, my vision was in the 20/700 range! With time and age, each year my vision became increasingly worse. It’s always been frustrating and even sad to me when I wake up in the morning and life is a blur. The worst was when my glasses would be knocked off the table or fall behind my bed in the middle of the night! In the morning, I would have to call for help to have someone find my glasses, so that I could see and make my way to the bathroom where my contacts would be, so I could start my day. Thanks to Dr. Roberts, he made seeing possible for me like I had never experienced before. Immediately after he performed my LASIK eye surgery, my vision improved to 20/20. For the first time in my entire life… I CAN SEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Whether you can or cannot relate to my experience, I bet you can agree that most people take the amazing ability to see for granted. I have to admit, I cried many times after the procedure just being in shock, having this instantly new ability to see that was so foreign to me. It’s almost like being born without an arm, then 26 years later being given a fully functioning one! I still can’t even believe I have the ability to write this without any help! No contacts or glasses to push up my nose… and I am SO EXCITED!!! This is one of the most emotionally monumental experiences I have ever had. Dr. Roberts gave me the gift of sight after suffering from childhood into my adult life. I highly recommend Dr. Roberts and can first handedly refer to him as a top ophthalmologist, and the most outstanding in the entire country. Dr. Roberts is simply the best, and I say that so confidently, I traveled from Chicago to his practice just to be treated by him. I am so happy with my vision and his care that the only regret I have is not coming to him for this procedure sooner. Dr. Roberts, thank you so much! I will forever have immense gratitude for the way you have helped and treated me. You set the standard of what an experienced, knowledgeable, caring doctor who patients can trust, should be. Patients come to you because they are struggling with something that effects their life, and it can be scary for anyone to make a choice to seek help and change. Like many, I was so used to living with bad eyesight that I learned to deal with the disability. Plus, I was concerned about possible risks and finding a reputable doctor who I could trust. I stopped seeking to improve and just accepted it, but life should not be that way. Many times there are so many opportunities to live life in the very best way that we can, and we should. My hope for your potential future patients, is that if they do have a vision problem that you can improve, instead of just dealing with it, that they gather up the courage to make themself better. We have one life to live and we are responsible for all that we are…. Always be the best you that you can be. Did I say that I can SEE?!!Thank you so much, Dr. Roberts, for making a difference. Best, Jennifer Christenson
