From our patients
Top-notch exam with Dr. Rebecca Voorthuis. I have a difficult prescription and a sensitivity to vision changes that seems to elude some eye doctors. Her exam was very thorough, and she was candid and quick, although never rushed.

What neighbors say about Foxhall Square.
★★★★★
I was there yesterday for an annual eye exam. Dr Voorthuis is thorough, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. Incidentally they have a fantastic selection of glasses and the staff is great with helping pick something out! Anna Marie has helped me several times and I always love what she recommends.
★★★★★
I’ve been a patient and client at Voorthuis since I was in elementary school! Dr. Udoff is great at his job. Very precise on prescriptions and finding solutions that work for my extreme nearsightedness, and related farsightedness when wearing my contacts and needing to read! Annamarie Voorthuis is great at advising on selecting frames and the best shape and lens thickness that work for my face size and shape. Highly recommend this family-owned business that’s been going strong for more than 50 years! I go to the foxhall square location, and they have multiple locations around the area.
