Dr. Joseph Pasternak's Bio and Credentials
Dr. Pasternak has over 25 years of experience as a refractive surgeon with the United States military. As a participant in the FDA trials to approve laser surgery in the US, Dr. Pasternak was the first military eye surgeon in the US to perform refractive surgery. He founded the Laser Vision Center at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and developed and ran the program to offer LASIK to US Naval Academy midshipmen, opening up career options for over 8,000 new military officers over the last 20 years. Dr. Pasternak was instrumental in studies determining the safety and effectiveness of LASIK surgery in Navy and Marine Corps aviators, which ultimately led to the approval of LASIK surgery for all warfighters. Dr. Pasternak has performed over 10,000 eye surgeries and has trained over 80 surgeons in the art of refractive surgery. Dr. Pasternak now brings his
years of experience of performing and studying LASIK surgery, and his dedication to safety, predictability and the best
possible outcomes to the patients of LasikPlus.
Dr. Pasternak has been happily married for 25+ years and is the father of three young adults. In his free time, he enjoys tennis, skiing, fitness, and cooking.

Bisma G.
Lasik changed my life. I am forever grateful for this life changing treatment. No more contacts and glasses wooo! Wonderful staff and surgeon!!
Phillip H.
The staff are very friendly and help to make you at ease on the entire process. This is my first day after surgery and was surprised at how much my vision has improved without wearing glasses. I’m hoping to see better and better as time goes on. So glad I can say goodbye to glasses and contacts
Justin P.
The staff was very nice and professional, and did all the appointments in a timely manner. Follow their advice and take a nap as soon as you can! My vision was clear by the night on the same day as the procedure
Vivian T.
Had my lasik done by Dr. Roberts recently. It was an excellent experience. All the staff are professional, kind, and patient. I was super nervous about getting the procedure done. In fact, had a last minute panic and called the office with more questions, which they nicely and patiently answered. You do feel some intense pressure for the first part of the procedure but after that, the laser part is actually painless. Went home and sleep the entire day and was able to see well the next day. Overall, great experience. Would recommend this office for anyone who is considering lasik surgery.
