Steven Bullard's Online Review Report Card

Those two stars are for the good people there. Generally nice peoples out there. And absolutely no stars for how they manage visits and timings. No sense or value for anybody elses time. You wait few hours everytime, not exegarating. Wait in the parking, wait in their seating area, wait in the room, wait after the nurse have seen, wait for the doctor and finally there he is. Seriously not worth it, i have been going there for more than a year for my two kids, every visit returned absolutely frustrated. Missed meetings before and after the visits, terrible terrible terrible. No more, today is the last time. I just can't do it again.

Doctor is good. Never had any issues. Daughter has been going to him for 5 years.

Doctor Bullard is absolutely the best pediatric ophthalmologist in Northern Virginia and the National Capital Region. He is very patient with my son who is on the spectrum and my son has been seeing him since he was a baby. His patience and professionalism is very humbling and his team is great too. We are so thankful that we found a doctor like him.

Rudest, most insensitive doctor I’ve ever met. We took our 8 month old (at the time) and he could have handled it so much better than he did. I wouldn’t recommend him to a dying man.

We have been coming to Dr Bullard for 10 years!!! He’s nothing short of amazing. He is so patient, kind and humble. He understands my special needs son and did his strabismus surgery. I wouldn’t trust anyone else besides Dr Bullard with my sons precious eyes!

Disappointing experience. Extremely long wait time, unempathetic staff, and a relatively disinterested practitioner. Of course, opinions are subjective, and it could just be a bad day. They do request a credit card upfront, bit like a bar to be honest, like an open tab. It's not a cheap clinic by any means, so I think there are better, kinder, more qualified options available in the area. First time taking my child to an eye doctor, they did not make it easy, or convince me that their business-medical offering is worth the $ that they charge.

Wait times can be long, but Dr. Bullard takes time to explain what he does and what he finds.

Great staff, clean office, and a doctor that cares about his patients and their parents! Our child is easily distracted and becomes very bored when not engaged and dr bullard was able to keep her attention during the exam by using t.v and games to her engaged. Dr bullard was very professional and understanding of concerns and took the time to make sure we understood his diagnosis and treatment plan along with long term outlook for our childs vision. He also has worked very well our primary care physician and made sure to send the interpretation to them. If i could give him more stars i would. Thank you DR. Bullard and staff for being so kind and understanding.

We have been seeing Dr. Bullard for 4 years at least 4 times a year now for three of my children. He is so wonderful and my kids love him and love coming here. As to the wait times, it is pediatric ophthalmology - you can not predict how children will act in an exam, especially when eye drops are often involved! Have a little grace. This practice is worth the wait.

We have been seeing Dr. Bullard for over a year in the management of my daughters strabismus. We first started seeing him when she was six months old. Leia has come to love him and is actually excited when we arrive in his office. Sometimes the wait is challenging with a child, but being a nurse practitioner who has worked in major Boston hospitals I understand why this is. When he is in the room with you, you have his undivided attention and you never feel rushed. Even for myself, who is in medicine, understanding complex eye issues takes time and making the appropriate decisions for your child is only possible with detailed explanations. When you combine the time he gives to each patient individually with the lack of predictability that children bring to the table, it is understandable that there are often wait times. I would wait 100 times over for my child to be treated by someone I fully trust. I have never felt rushed in his presence and it is clear to me that he brings the perfect combination of being a master in his trade with compassion and care for his patients. For those things, I would wait as long as it takes. In modern medicine this is a rare find and it is my daughters eyes and vision at stake. If you want a doctor that will stick exactly to his schedule and make time his biggest priority, be prepared to be rushed. That is how many clinicians operate today. You will get your appointment time, but so will the next person regardless of whether or not you feel that your questions were fully answered. If that’s the type of practice you are looking for, then this probably isn’t the one for you. For us, we feel very blessed to have found Dr. Bullard and his wonderful staff as our daughters case is complex. We never even felt the need for a second opinion. His experience is a first, second and third combined. Thank you Dr. Bullard for your excellent care!
