What our patients have to say . . .
“I should have had the cataract surgery ten years ago! The only thing better than my vision was your staff!”
– David
“I really liked everybody in that office, everyone was very helpful and informative. If you had to go to a doctor, that’s the experience you’d want to have.”
– Fred
“My visit was wonderful. Dr. Boles has a wonderful bedside manner.” Further, “Your office was very professional.”
– Margaret
“Everything went fine, I’m happy with the visit, and I’d like to continue the relationship. I’ve got two expert doctors caring for my eyes now, Dr. Boles and Dr. Weichel, so I’m happy.” ”
– Steve
“I haven’t seen so much in my whole life. I was about to get rid of my TV, I couldn’t see it, but now the colors are so wonderful and bright. I can read the words in the Hymnal and it brought me to tears. I could never see them. To think that God has given this man the ability and knowledge to help me see again. I feel so blessed. Thank you for changing my life.”
– Constance
“Very high-tech place and friendly staff. Well qualified doctors and assistants. They are very prompt and if you do have a wait the waiting area is very comfortable. The Lubrano building is also very nice. Worth trying if you’re looking for an eye doctor. Why 5 stars? I would not trust anyone with my eyes unless they deserved 5 stars!”
– Gary
“Well, my experience with cataract surgery was amazing. The word “surgery” scared me to death. The reality was that I went into the very nice office, met Dr. Boles and later left having had a cataract removed. Magic! I can see “as clear as a bell” with that eye.”
– Barbara
“I have nothing but praise for Dr. Boles, for his staff, for the tranquility and attractiveness of his office, and for his phenomenal respect for and compassionate approach to his patients–which is mirrored by everyone he employs. My only regret is that he doesn’t practice internal medicine, or operate as a general practitioner; my eyes are my life, and I would without reservation trust him with the latter as I do the former. As even his staff will tell you (when he’s out of earshot) the difference between him and many other physicians and surgeons is that he truly, truly cares–not only about the eyes that are his passion, but about the patients attached to them, too. His new partner, Dr. Nathan Frank (whom I saw on the 15th) is cut from the same cloth. If you are looking for an old-fashioned (Marcus Welby, MD) sort of doctor with state-of-the-art skills and the latest technology, this is the place to go.”
– Carol
“You treated me like a person, not just like a patient. Your office has a very warm and humanistic atmosphere.”
– John
“Since I was 5 years old, I could never wake up to the beauty of life unless I put on glasses or contact lenses. I am the mother of 4 and grandmother of 10. You have allowed me to see my family for the first time without looking through lenses. You are my, and I suspect many people’s, hero. Thank you for the gift of eyesight you give to people like me. God bless you and your family and staff.”
– Bonnita, Upper Marlboro
“What a difference a day makes. Satisfaction level 200%. Visual acuity is like High Definition!”
– David, Annapolis
“When my optometrist diagnosed with me high ocular pressure and recommended laser treatment to reduce it, I sought out a second opinion from Dr. Boles. Not only did he spare me unnecessary treatment, but his extensive knowledge, willingness to answer all my questions and thorough follow-up with both my primary care physician and optometrist were above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced with any doctor.”
– Neil, Catonsville
“Vision much, much, much better! Colors appear brighter, no pain, no irritation.”
– Debra, Suitland
“No pain. No discomfort. It’s beautiful! I can read signs and am so happy to drive without glasses.”
– Emily, Pasadena
“I can see gauges on the car, distance and near, and am even able to read a magazine in dim light.”
– John, Edgewater
“I cannot thank you enough for recommending and performing the cataract surgery. When I got out of bed the next morning, I was able to see clearly for the first time in over 40 years… It is that type of personal attention that I do not see often, but was greatly appreciated. If I were to talk to anyone considering the surgery, I would gladly recommend your practice. It has certainly changed my life.”
– Kevin
“Thank you for the excellent care that you have provided to me. I would also like to compliment you on your outstanding staff! Everyone in your office and at the surgery center provides the type of client/patient service that is almost non-existent these days. I worked with many large businesses here and in England and I never was exposed to another “perfect” environment until I became a patient of yours! It is so wonderful to know that client/customer service really is alive and well.”
– Bettianne
“My eye doctor sent me to Dr. Boles to have a cataract removed. I am now 81 years old and my vision is 20-20. Trust me, there’s not a thing in the world to worry about! I work in a medical profession. My husband was a doctor as is my son, so I can be very critical when it comes to patient care. If I had a third eye, like a Cyclops, with cataracts, I would go right back to Dr. Boles!”
– Nancy
Recommendations from Yelp.com:
“High tech office with courteous staff and a great doctor (Dr. Boles). What doctor calls you night after surgery to check on you? Dr. Boles… that’s who! And, he fixed my vision 100%. It’s delicate operation for me, too, as I’ve had detached retina’s in both eyes. I was very impressed by the AA Eye Center and highly recommend them to anyone else getting cataracts done.”
– TJ
“Not sure why Yelp people don’t review businesses like this! I am seeing Dr. Boles as well as a regular optometrist for pre-glaucoma pressure screening. I think Anne Arundel’s specialties are cataracts and glaucoma, so I guess it’s no surprise that their waiting room is full of seniors. I’ve been going here for a couple of years, and I can vouch that they are always timely, and they really have an assembly line set up for the various types of tests they must administer. It can be a little disconcerting the first time to be passed along from one person to the next, ’til you realize that each one is an expert in the area for which you’re being tested. And it all moves quickly. Dr. Boles is very personable and kind, and has received lots of local awards… so I feel I’m in good hands. (BTW, the office is unbelievably beautiful. Lighting is dark and subtle to accommodate all the eye frailties his clientele must have. It would be even nicer at dinner time with a glass of wine (just kidding!).) Front staff is very friendly, couldn’t ask for much more.”

“If anybody in the Annapolis area is in need of an ophthalmologist, definitely head to Anne Arundel Eye Center. My eyes totally flipped out on me (due to wearing my contacts way too much because I’m so vain). The Eye Center took great care of me, fit me in same day, and helped me out a bit since I’m uninsured. Good peeps to take care of your peepers.”

“Amazing experience, from the first phone call to the follow up call after my visit. I wish all my doctors visits were this pleasant. Truly an expert, with a gentle touch…”
– Betty
“When your son is an eye doctor and he has the option to refer you to any specialist in the area, you can be sure he sends his Dad to see the very BEST! I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my surgery, the performance of the staff, and the skill and manner of Dr. Boles. You can’t go wrong with this talented professional!!!”
– Colonel Dave
“I was impressed by Dr. Boles from the moment I first contacted him, and my admiration has only increased over the course of our association. His professionalism, his genial, reassuring, and truly attentive interaction with his patients, and even the tasteful serenity of his office decor are consistently remarkable. Complemented as they are by his medical competency, both as an ophthalmologist and as a surgeon, one cannot help but relax in the knowledge that he or she is in the best of hands, even when the path leads to the operating room. Dr. Boles operated on me less than four hours ago. Not only do I have no external disfigurement (even the tiniest bruise)–I can look across the room with my “bad” eye and see the clock for the first time in years! This is indeed a tribute to his technique, and to the man himself. Bravo!”
– Dr. Carol
“There are several other physicians in the area with the same expertise as Dr. Boles. With this day and age with all the rules delegated by insurance companies it helps to have personal knowledge as a patient of Dr. Boles with his kind compassion for ones eye health. Dr. Boles’ staff is very compassionate as well. I have no qualms in referring patients to Dr. Boles for any ophthalmology needs. He is always very accommodating when I call even on the same day. Dr. Boles never says NO, more Doctors need to be as compassionate as Dr. Boles as opposed to being concerned about whether they are going to make a dollar or not.”
– RoxAnne
“My experience with Dr Boles was excellent. He was kind, caring and very sympathetic in his care.I definitely would and have in many, many cases recommended him. I felt so secure with his expertise while undergoing surgery and would not ever consider going to anyone else for my procedure.”
“Dr Boles and his staff are excellent. I have never had a better experience with a physician from start to finish. His office staff was great and Dr Boles was exceptional. He spent time with me, talked about my condition and options and made sure that I had a thorough undertsaning when he was finished. His caring and compassionate attitude was a welcome relief. I recommend Dr Boles over any physician that I have ever seen.”
“I had an emergency in July (eye pressure 70)and when I called the office I was seen right away, attended to for several hours to bring down the pressure, followed by surgery within two days and contacted, first by the doctor the evening of the surgery, then staff from the surgery center followed by the office staff, During subsequent visits the staff always reflects the genteel and caring manner of the doctor. They are attentive and always professional. The decor of the office is lovely and provides a framework for what a patient can expect…. the very best in care, performance and professionalism. My surgeries were successful because Dr. Boles is an exceptional and knowledgeable physician. My vision is better than it has ever been and I have Dr. Boles to thank for this!”
“Amongst all other qualities, the friendliness of the staff, their courtesy and professionalism stands out and these are attributes demonstrating his commitment to be sure all aspects of the care are top notch.”
“I would send my friends and family. Warm and friendly as well as professional and cutting edge technology. Expert.”
“Thank you Dr. Boles and your great staff. I have never seen better in my life. I wish I had had cataract surgery years ago. It was a breeze!”
“Before my cataract surgery, I thought my house had smoke in it all the time and now I can’t stop grinning. Vision is so much better! Thank you Dr. Boles!”
