Experience counts. I am a military-trained ophthalmologist and one of the foremost experts in the field of laser surgery. I completed my residency in ophthalmology at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis, Washington. Then, I served as Chief of Ophthalmology and Chief of Surgery at Winn Army Hospital at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Prior to retiring from my 30-year military career at the rank of Colonel, I proudly served as the Director of the Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center (WRESP-RC) at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. I was the first ophthalmologist in the Department of Defense to perform the SMILE procedure and the first Ophthalmologist in the Washington Metro Area to offer TriLift, also known as the non-surgical facelift. I have co-authored numerous research articles and presentations on refractive and corneal surgery and strive to be at the forefront of providing the latest technology to my patients.We are conveniently located at the National Harbor with easy access within the Washington DC Metro Area including Arlington and Alexandria.

After being turned down for LASIK 10 years prior, I came to learn of this improved and even less-invasive SMILE procedure. The Envue facility is impressive and staff are... read more excellent. I'm so glad I got this surgery done. The recovery was easy and quick - I could see immediately enough to navigate the world, back to work reading the computer screen the next day, and my very near sight improved over the first few weeks. I recommend SMILE and the Envue team without reservation.

I went to Envue for SMILE surgery. About a week post-op, I can say that I'm very glad I got the procedure done. I'm 20/20 in one eye and 20/15... read more in the other. The procedure was painless and the recovery was easy and comfortable. Dr. Rivers and his staff are extremely capable, kind, and patient. They answered all of my questions and were extremely transparent about pricing. I also appreciated the financial transparency as a student. I would highly recommend Dr. Rivers' practice (as I am to those I know who want to get vision surgery). I'm looking forward to continuing to see the doctor and his staff to check up on my eye health and vision throughout the post-op period!
