I was very nervous but Dr. Tash was very nice and took the time to explain how the eye works and what is going on with my eye. I felt so much better after seeing him and he was extremely nice and on time. He also encouraged me to do PT for my back problem. So glad to have been sent there.

I am a diabetic and have been going to Dr. Tash since approximately 2005. He monitors my eyes to ensure that my eyesight hasn't been affected by the diabetes. He's a very personable man and truly cares about his patients, his appointments are always on time (Very rare for most doctors), patiently answers all your questions and is a very through doctor. I will miss him as my doctor, as I recently moved out of Maryland. Hopefully I find an new Ophthalmology doctor as good as Dr. Tash.

Dr Tash is one of the finest ophthalmologists i have ever been to. I had gone to another previously with no solution or advice for the double vision i had been have ever since a cardiac event I had a few months earlier. Dr Tash was "rings around" this other Dr who was supposed to be the best in the field. Not only was he able to diagnose exactly what the problem was but provided a solution that corrected my problem. Thank You Dr Tash and staff

He saved my eye sight. A wonderful doctor and a wonderful person. Dr Tash and his staff are fantastic people to deal with. They are always helpful. Due to accident on interstate I was half hour late and I called to cancel appointment and they said the eye sight is very important so if you do not mind waiting we will work you in. Great attitude for a Dr and his staff

Dr Tash is a great Dr. he listens to his patients and takes the time necessary to exam your eyes. If you have even the slightest problem he is right in top of it

Have seen Dr. Tash for several years. He is the best. He is very caring and professional. He explains everything and definitely takes a personal interest in his patients. I'd recommend him to everyone who needs eye care.
