Care Quality Office Experience…read moreDr. Panahy had been my primary care physician for most of the 28 years I've been with Kaiser Permanente. I found her care to be excellent. She always spoke to me at length regarding my health and was always on top of whatever test, labs or Rx's I needed. Dr. Panahy was an excellent physician - caring, cooperative, informative and spent time with you despite the requisite 20 mins. that was usually mandated for appointments. I will miss her and when I think of excellent physician, I think of her. RIP. Andrea Sommer

Dr. Panahy has been my primary care doctor since 2004. Her practice has grown a lot since then -…read morelast I heard, she's no longer accepting new patients. I usually have to schedule my physicals a month or two in advance, and if I'm sick and need to get seen that day, I almost always have to settle for someone else in the practice. I usually don't have to wait long to be seen, and the practice seems to run fairly efficiently, aside from a recent frustration in getting a prescription refill. I find my annual checkups very helpful. Maybe it's just that I'm not trying to swaddle myself in a paper jacket and wrap - they usually give me a cloth gown. The office seems to schedule at least 30 minutes for annual checkups. Dr. Panahy is thorough, easy to talk to, and never seems rushed. She takes time to explain things, is well-informed, and is gentle during exams. She's been flexible with writing referrals, prescriptions for nonessential stuff like allergy meds and daily vitamins, and refilling prescriptions from specialists. The followup is fairly standard. If my labwork is normal, I get a letter in two weeks or so telling me the results. Dr. Panahy does call to discuss abnormalities. I haven't seen Dr. Panahy for any acute conditions, so I don't have a good feel for how she does with diagnosis. The other physicians in the office are okay.

I suffered a very painful back injury and the doctors at the Metropolitan Washington Orthopedic…read moreAssociation treated me and properly guided my care until I got better. The wait to see the doctors were long but once I got to the treatment room I was treated with care. In addition the office staff took care of the paperwork I needed as it was a worker's compensation claim and it was handled professionally. Moreover I was referred to competent specialist for further treatment and surgery. As an attorney representing clients injured in car crashes I routinely referred them to this office where they were treated and recovered from their injuries. Ft. Washington, Maryland.

The receptionists are very rude and unhelpful. You call and they immediately put you on hold. When…read morethey tell you they will call you back, they don't. If you call them back, they yell at you and tell you that you have to give them time to call back even though its close to closing. They don't let you get anything out. When you go into the office, you can see why they put people on hold. They talk on personal phone calls or to each other. They wouldn't get a pre approval from my insurance company so the specialist that I needed to go to had to do it, and said they didn't understand why they weren't going to do it. I have had nothing but nasty encounters over the phone and in person.

I "interviewed" many nephrologists in the city before deciding on this practice. I knew I would require lifelong care, so choosing a physician who was not just competent but also "got me" and my lifestyle was extremely important. Dr. Habwe is amazing-- one of the most capable, compassionate doctors I have ever encountered. She has 100s of patients, but somehow whenever you speak to her, you feel as though you are her only one. I not only feel completely confident in her care, but actually look forward to seeing her. She is also incredibly tenacious about helping you get necessary care from other specialists, when necessary. Full time doctor and advocate, and part time social worker and confidante. The best in the city, as far as I am concerned. Additionally, her front desk staffers-- Sandy and Eleanore-- are lovely. I got pre- and post- kidney transplant hugs from both of them. (and of course, they are helpful in terms of scheduling and lab follow-up work, too). Nephrology Center also has an in-house nurse to draw labs, which makes the whole process incredibly convenient. I've also never had a problem with insurance or billing. Dealing with a short term or chronic health ailment is never awesome, and of course we'd all prefer never to see doctors at all. But if you have bean troubles, I'd never hesitate to refer you to this practice. And if you see them over the long term, I bet they become like your extended family.

This place is absolutely awful. I had a routine urine test which they said would take one day. Dr…read more Khan said he would call with the results as soon as he got them. Weeks went by and nothing. I called many times leaving a message; no response. Finally, 6 weeks later I get a call from the doctor saying that I submitted insufficient quantity for the test. I felt so enraged. I chose this place to avoid the chaotic GW MFA, but that was a mistake. Also, Dr. Khan spoke to me like he had no clue about anything. Almost like I was the doctor and he the patient.

I've been seeing her for years and I only wish I could find a primary care doctor as good as her. Her office staff is also great- the front desk is very polite, her nurse line for medication refills is well run, and her nurses/PA's are also smart, polite, and knowledgeable.

Hopefully, not many people read this and go to him :)

I'm mixed about myself and Dr. Rashid! Perhaps we are just a poor patient-doctor match? Anyways,…read morehere's my experience: I come from a medical family. Specialists. I know what diagnostics looks like. Good diagnostics should and can be a thing with PCPs, but my experience in VA has challenged that. I've seen Haroon on and off for a few years, and when I first saw him he was quite checked out. Spent most of his time quietly on his laptop during his consult with me. I don't think totally ignoring me, but not actively diagnosing me. Like every other doctor in VA, his first move is almost always a consult, run labs, then a follow-up. This diagnosis comes after the lab model results in wasted time, not exclusive to Dr. Rashid. In one instance, I came to the Dr. with an issue that is verifiable via a quick physical check, and he did not do that, ignoring what I had told him/the patient. Again, I find this not exclusive to Dr. Rashid in the VA medical community. When I came back after labs, i had to tell him to check me twice, he finally did, and I was properly diagnosed with exactly what I had told him was the issue the first time. To be clear, this is the kind of physical check that's very basic, been around hundreds of years, that anyone can do, but a doctor is trained in and when they diagnose you they can well... do doctor things like send you to the proper specialist with a referral (which I cannot do, and need a doctor for!). So, unfortunately, that experience is pretty average in VA for PCPs ime I'll say that I've seen Doc also improve over the years. He now seems to do in-person phone follow-ups, texting. He seems a little bit happier, in general. So perhaps things are improving, which is basically all I want from my neighborhood doc. Though I really want and kind of like Dr. Rashid as my PCP, multiple times I've found myself needing to go to a different PCP or just directly to a specialist (when insurance allows) in order to get the right healthcare. But, again, not exclusive experience to Dr. Rashid, and seems part of the model of medicine in this part of VA. His front staff have always been pretty good, and their online system has also improved for the most part. Lastly, I will say Rashid is good in that he is preventive in his approach to medicine. He's not interested in throwing pills at you, and respects the body. This is what keeps me coming back currently, despite my search for my forever doc!

As a physician, it is uncomfortable to write a less than stellar review. However, for the sake of…read morecancer patients seeking treatment, be prepared for a doctor who is less than complete when it comes to a physical exam. I will not speak to his technical abilities as he did not operate upon me. Indifferent is his overall approach. Perhaps it was a bad day. For me, the visit was a waste of time. I always called my patients with critical laboratory results. I had to call his office several times to get the results which also arrived by mail but not until two weeks later. The current Georgetown system is run as a clinic without physician guidance. There are too many impediments to direct physician-patient telephone contact. Perhaps this generation of physicians prefers it this way?

Unresponsive doctor and office. I get the feeling they are more concerned with getting health…read moreinsurance payments than provided patients with test results. I had tests done; it took 3 weeks for them to respond to phone messages left 3 times within 2 weeks. They promised to mail test results Nov. 23 and a month and 1 week later, I haven't received anything. I would never return to this office. The ironic thing is, they have a health care referal counselor who provided references to doctors there, prior to the appointment I am reporting about. This was helpful, but the doctor's and the office staff's' responsiveness to me as a patient is medically detrimental and negligent. I am getting a very bad flavor from Georgetown University Hospital Center, which represents this specialist.

I keep going back, because he's frankly honest and doesn't bite his tongue. I need that in a good doctor, I don't want someone to hold my hand and lie to my face. I do wish he was more personable, but it's not like i'm marrying the guy, he's doing exams and keeping me healthy. That's enough for me! His office staff in Arlington is also just "ok", but I don't expect much more. They've never failed to give me an appt, never forgotten to call me about something and fix the mistakes they made. That's all I ask for in good customer service!

I moved to Mclean 2 years ago, a friend told me about this practice. I would say, if you want to be…read moreresponsible to your health , you've better choices. Dr. Sandra was pleasant all the time, in a very timely manner. After my last routine check up, never heard anything from the office. Then, I was assuming everything goes well. (usually they call you when you have problems. If everything is OK, heard nothing) But about 5 weeks later, when I got billed extra from my insurance, I called the office. They told me looks like they NEVER received any result back from the lab for my pap test!! Then they promised to check it. 2 days later, office called me and said I have abnormal test result! If I didn't call because of the insurance bill, I will never know what's happening with my routine check up. The office even don't know if their patient's lab results were missing. If this is something serious, can you imagine the result? The office is lack of management. I got wrong information from nurses. Caused me a nightmare!
