She is just the nicest, kindest person ever. Stacey, advised me to go to the urgent care center when I couldn't get in to see an orthopedic doctor before the weekend. She even helped me find a good one. Then, when an appointment opened up, she called me and booked the appointment for me at Ortho Bethesda. Stacey, you are an angel. I went to see Dr. Gazdag and he was wonderful. He was funny and an excellent professional. We took more X-rays, so if you see a light in Rockville, it is just me glowing at night. I am in a boot and a cane, but no surgery needed. Amen! The people who work with Dr. Gazdag and Ortho Bethesda were awesome. They were very nice and helpful. I got great care and I have respect for the office. And, thank you, Stacey for making sure I was taken care of.

I was beyond impressed with my experience at Dr Ghorbani office (APMI Orthopedics, Sports Health…read more& Regenerative Medicine) I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was and knowledgeable about my condition. I had been experiencing back pain and was on the break of not knowing what to do. After my visit with Dr. Ghorbani I realized I was great hands. I was not able to do simple things as put my shoes on or get out of the bed without being in excruciating pain. At times I could not walk without pain. Dr. Ghorbani suggested for me to get an Epidural Steroid Injection. I was little nervous and I was told by people that it would not work. Well Dr Ghorbani made me a believer, he performed the surgery on me and the next day I was able to get out of the bed with no pain, If you are looking for a doctor that is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients then come to APMI to be healed. My appointment ran on time, Dr Ghorbani was really knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment! I would highly recommend APMI. It's a one stop shop for therapy, pain management and orthopedic services. He has an amazing staff, they all have great customer service and always make you feel welcome. Hands-down one of the best medical doctors I have seen in my 42 years of life! his demeanor and bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal. We also discussed vitamin supplements to address some life phase events and he made recommendations as to what I need. I find that doctors usually are distracted or rushed when visiting their patients, but not with Dr. Ghorbani . I had the sense that this doctor REALLY cared about my whole being. I could tell that Dr. Ghorbani has a well-rounded medical background and approaches his care with a wealth of extensive research and perspective for his clients issues or concerns. That is why I give him 5 stars! I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone that values their health and wants a doctor with extensive knowledge about health.

I wish I could give negative stars. AVOID AT ALL COSTS…read more 1. My doctor was essentially a drug dealer. The answer to everything was a shot or a drug. Fine. But even then he was incapable of correctly ordering a prescription correctly. 2. As a result of my doctor's mistakes I had to keep calling for 3 days to get anyone's attention in order to get premature refills on the now lifelong medication I would be on. You CANNOT get an immediate answer for ANYTHING. You have to go through a voicemail box to talk to anyone and good luck getting a response the same day. The receptionists that are on the phones are the only ones that you can actually talk to and they are not going to be helping you. When I finally got a response it was claimed that they tried contacting me but couldn't get through. Yeah, sure. 3. They are scam artists. They put a boot on my foot without explaining the costs. In fact, the medical assistant explicitly said that insurance would pay for the boot. They charged my insurance $400 for a boot that costs them about $10-$20 tops. In turn my insurance charged me for most of it. In fact the out of pocket cost for this boot was more than my entire visit. When I called their billing to question it, they lied and said there was nothing they could do. As someone who has managed medical billing departments before, there was plenty that they could do, but they just refused. 4. The apathy of this practice towards their patients has made the last few weeks of my life a living hell. Not only do I have to live with my affliction but I have to pay these crooks for the privilege of being ripped off. AVOID AVOID AVOID

The aides seem incompetent and often don't know what your warmup routine is or what you're there for, as if the information is not updated for your visit. Also, some of the therapists seem over aggressive in their treatments, and as an older patient I don't and can't do heavy weights and frankly I got worse going to my sessions. They also leave you unsupervised for gaps of time where no one can correct your form or take your heavy weight from you. The therapists also are always having in depth conversations about sports, their weekends, their lives, their pets, as they 'work' on you and seem unfocused and careless about their jobs. The front desk staff is also rude and disrespectful at times and there is always a backlog of patients waiting to be checked in!

He has a superb "bedside manner", and a few hours after a recent surgery for Sciatica pain, he called me personally to check in on me. Unlike some doctors that rush to surgery before it is called for, Dr. Fisch employs a systematic approach to back pain that starts with physical therapy, progressing to epidural injections, and finally proceeding to surgery if all else fails to quell the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Fisch to anyone suffering from Sciatica.

BUT the most important and helpful recommendation he gave me was that I needed to lose weight to help myself. It's NOT just the doctor who helps but the patient MUST help themselves as well. Patients need to be apart of the team of healing. When Dr. Fisch recommended for me to lose weight it hurt me emotionally, BUT I knew it was the truth. Since then I've lost approximately 91 lbs. I did 2 cycling centuries last year, 2020, and I'm training for 2 triathlons and a Spartan for this year, 2021. I had the privilege recently to thank him. Patients may not want to hear the truth but doctors need to be upfront and tell it like it is. Dr. Fisch wants his patients to be apart of trying to make them feel better. He can't do it alone.

I had to ask for someone to return to the room and walk me through what I should be doing--and they seemed genuinely annoyed that I asked.
