Dr. Lai is an outstanding provider and a fine person. My wife is being treated by him for vision loss. She has been his patient for some time. He is a gifted provider and a nice person. We are lucky to have him as Sharon's opthomologist.

Dr. Michael Lai is a wonderful doctor who successfully treated me for several complex retinal issues (retinal vein occlusion and epiretinal membrane). After a series of injections & vitrectomy surgery, Dr. Lai restored my vision. He's a miracle worker. He's also incredibly kind and patient, always taking time to explain everything & answer questions. If you have any retinal issues, go to Dr. Lai! As for RGW itself, I think they overbook their doctors, so the wait times can be bad. But with a unicorn doctor like Dr. Lai, it's worth it!

Dr. Lai is great. I had a late morning appointment and the office was still right on time; none of the waiting I experience with other doctors.

As a wet macular degeneration patient, the prime aspect for me is do the shots hurt. The didn't with Dr. Lai, but they did with my previous retinologist. Moreover, all these many years, my eye sight has remained stable. The staff at the Chevy Chase branch are very courteous and professional. I noticed they work as a team, always a good sign.
