The KEC Advantage
Kensington Eye Center has been providing patients in the Washington DC Metro area with the highest quality of eye care for over thirty years. Read why patients refer their loved ones to our doctor.
Superior Service
At KEC, you are our number one priority. Our doctor is committed to listening to all of your concerns and to fully understanding your medical needs and history. We feel that patients receive better eye care when their doctor spends more time getting to know them, not less. Dr. Herz takes pride in clearly communicating medical advice so that you always understand and feel comfortable with your treatment. We also appreciate that your time is important. That’s why we strive to ensure your appointment will be on time, every time. KEC is accepting new patients and appointments are available in as little as 1-2 business days.
