I called numerous places when I decided to get LASIK and Magruder stood out. From the moment I stepped into their office for a consultation to the morning i walked out without using glasses, they were extremely attentive, professional, friendly and didn’t waste any time.
Everyone was great from the nurses always to the doctor and my eyes can see so much better thank you to everybody there
On 8/18 I had cataract surgery in both eyes with Dr. Shumski. He and his staff were very friendly and professional and my surgery went off without a hitch. A week later at my eye appointment I had 20/20 vision and the only reminder I have of my surgery is my daily eye drops. I would highly recommend Magruder Laser Vision.
I would highly recommend Dr Shumski for cataract surgery! I think he is an exceptional physician! He was so thorough and helped me with my lense choice. I felt very relaxed a confident throughout the procedure. I couldn’t be happier with my results! The whole staff at Magruder are so wonderful too!
Response from the ownerThank you! It's our pleasure to provide the best possible experience for our patients. Have a wonderful day!I had an extremely positive experience at Magruder Laser Vision. Everyone was very friendly and were very easy to work with. I had cataract removal surgery on both eyes at the same time and am very pleased with the results. Dr. Shumski was great. He even checked in by text message the night of my surgery to see how I was doing. That was a really nice touch and made me feel very well cared for by him and the entire staff. I highly recommend!
Response from the ownerIt makes our day to hear that we were able to provide you a 5-star experience. We'll make sure the entire team at MLV receives your feedback — they'll be thrilled to hear your kind words.I am very pleased with the high standard of care I received at Magruder Laser Vision. Dr. Shumsky and his team were warm and dedicated to giving the highest quality of care. I’m so pleased with the results of my cataract surgery. They are an excellent team and work together seamlessly to give the best possible experience. When I had questions I was given the opportunity to ask the doctor, he called me and spoke to me over the phone. I can see much better feel as though I am recovering well. The follow up visit was very reassuring. I highly recommend this excellent practice for your eye care.
Response from the ownerThank you! It's our pleasure to provide the best possible experience for our patients. Have a wonderful day!I cannot say enough good things about the entire team at Magruder Laser Vision and Dr. Shumski. After having two deeply unpleasant experiences at other practices where I was treated poorly, finding this office was an absolute blessing. My exceptional journey started on day one. I found the practice online and spoke with Ms. HenryOla (AKA Henry). She was incredibly kind, helpful, and highly knowledgeable. She answered all my questions about my upcoming eye exam and made me feel welcome right away. When I met Dr. Shumski, he thoroughly explained my eye condition and all my options. I was actually leaning toward the more expensive Light Adjustable Lens IOL solution. However, Dr. Shumski honestly explained that a different procedure would be much better for my specific eye anatomy, even though it cost significantly less. I deeply appreciated his honesty and integrity. The surgery took place on mid August 2026, and I don't even have words to describe how good and sharp my vision is now, and it's only been 5 days after the surgery was done. The entire staff is extremely well-trained, polite, and patient with my endless questions. I want to give a special shout-out to my personal concierge, Alexandria, who has been professional and helpful throughout. Also Reagan from the College Park office, and Ms. Jackie & Renee at the Dr. Phillips office were also wonderful. Every single person here provides top-tier patient service.
