Dr. Oren Blam - Do NOT Recommend Despite seeing mixed…read morereviews, I kept an open mind and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Blam on June 30th. I was referred to him for an urgent consultation by Dr. DeMarco following an epidural injection. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Blam was deeply disappointing. He entered the room abruptly and defensively asked, "Why are you here?" because he had already read my MRI report. When we explained the referral to discuss a treatment plan for my herniated disc, he was dismissive and interrupted us, stating he could do nothing if we were seeking surgery. He then made a blanket assumption about my insurance, claiming Aetna would not cover surgery, without even knowing my specific policy details. While I have had excellent experiences within this practice with Dr. Adams, Dr. DeMarco, and Amy Holloway, Dr. Blam's rude, disrespectful demeanor left my husband and me completely stunned. I will not return to him and cannot recommend his care.

I'm glad that I waited a while before posting my review. Had I posted it just after the visit that…read moremy 94 year old mother had with Dr. Mathur, it would have been FIVE STARS! Dr. Mathur was very kind. He listened to my mother's issues, did a thorough examination and recommend an in office X-ray and a MRI. This visit was on 2/17. In that visit he said that he would reach out with the MRI results. The MRI was done on 2/18 and the results were available via the Advanced Radiology website on 2/20. I expected to hear from the doctor no later than Monday. I sent a portal message on 2/19 to make sure the doctor's office contacted me directly. When I didn't hear back, I called the office on 2/25, and I was told there was no portal message (even though I was looking at it). I was informed that it may have gone to the incorrect department. Why a practice wouldn't forward my message to the correct department I cannot say... I guess it "wasn't their job". We all know that excuse provided regularly by the younger generation. I was told on that phone call, that the doctor would call. It is now 2/27 and still no call. So, I went into the portal again to send another message and noticed that I could see the chart note. I saw at the end of the note "follow up in 1 week for MRI results". First of all, the doctor said he would call. Second, when I was on the phone with the office on 2/25, why didn't she tell me that I needed to schedule an appointment? I work for a group of Rheumatologists and we would never simply ignore a patient, nor would we ask them to come back for results. I can read the results on the Radiology report. What I would expect is a phone call with a treatment plan and then schedule the appointment to begin treatment. I am going to move forward with a different orthopedic practice. Before I experienced the above, based on my initial experience, I recommended Dr. Mathur to an elderly work associate with a severe back issue. She got the run around as well, so clearly, this is the standard of patient care that Potomac Valley Orthopedic feels is acceptable.

I followed up later with two phone calls for Dr. Sethi to do a more complete document evaluation along with the CT scan we sent immediately after the new patient visit.

I called them back and they sarcastically informed me they only except referrals from doctors offices!! First of all in the state of Maryland you're allowed to choose your own doctor with a Workmen's Comp case and make your own appointments . It's Maryland law !!! you're not required to let the doctor do them things it is your civil right in the state of Maryland if you have a referral you can call that doctor and set up your own appointment. You do not have to be at the mercy of your previous doctor to send referrals and approvals to a doctor. But this is how this doctor operates violating your civil rights bye only excepting referrals from doctors offices and not individuals. It's a form of discrimination!!! Not only that it violates your civil rights!!!! Why in the world would you want to use a Doctor Who so arrogant that he won't even return patient's phone calls and has an answering service taking all these phone calls so they can screen their calls. People that's a doctor you can't trust!!! It's a Doctor Who has no empathy and does not care about you as an individual. It's a Doctor Who has ignored the oath he took!!!!!

Second, let me say that the nurses in the back were personable, and easy to work with. This review is for the front desk staff and billing. The front desk staff are some of the most rude I have ever encountered. Not just one in particular either. All of them. I asked a simple question about the forms I was being asked to sign and it seemed to offend the receptionist (nurse?) to the point of total aggravation. They kept pointing down at the form saying, "just sign it". Ummm no? Then, for what reason I don't know, they asked me what I do for a living. Relevant how? I told them I have a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and they fell silent. My experience with the other receptionist was no less uncomfortable. They seem very unhappy for whatever reason and it comes across in their interactions with patients. The second part of this review is for billing. I have been trying to get the charges reversed on my VISA card for ~week now, and the front desk tells me I have to call billing. Billing tells me I have to call the front desk. Then billing says they'll call me back and they never do. So now I have to file a dispute with my Bank. For what? They used the wrong card for payment. I just want to reverse that charge, then pay with my FSA account. I'm going to pay them and they'll get their money same day they reverse the charge. Should be super simple but all I get is attitude and misdirection. There are plenty of places to get PRP. I won't be returning here in spite of Dr. Packer's excellent service. I'm not dealing with this desk again

I was being seen by a doctor in this office after a motor vehicle accident so claims were being paid by my auto insurance (pip insurance). On my third visit the receptionist advised me that my pip insurance had been exhausted. I knew it hadn't after only 2 visits so I called my auto insuance. The claims adjuster there advised me that only $300 of $1500 was used to-date. When I spoke to the off-site manager on the phone, she let it slip that pip auto insurance hadn't paid claims in over 90 days. Therefore, the pip claims were now being submitted to my health insurance instead and I needed to pay $40 to be seen. Apparently (to me) they were wanting to bill my health insurance for faster payments. My opinion is that if pip insurance is historically slow to pay, don't accept those patients for care. To add insult to injury, two grown a-s women (staff) sat in the corner ROFL while I went back and forth with the manager. It was humiliating. I won't be back. I will try another provider. I would not recommend this office for care.

Send me to a pain management, pain management doctor advised me was not my back it was my hip got a MRI for my hip. Dr. Says he then sent me back to dr. Soudan to get an injection in my hip. The pain management for did not want to do the injection because he said I have fractures and torn labrum and bone spurs and was confident that it will not relieve my pain, budget the shot anyways her doctor said these orders. Advise dr. Sethi that I was still in pain and still hurt to rotate my leg he referred me to Charles Mess jr. I met with the doctor over 3 times didn't multiple MRIs for him to send me to an oncologist. He sent me to an oncologist without a referral and explanation. Oncologist season 2 was over an hour away and when I went to see him the ecologist was shocked and surprised that I was even there because there was no reason for me to actually be there. Dr. Charles Mess has never even done a blood test on me and advise me that blood test will not even show if I have cancer or not. To make a long story short send to Dr at least 8 times within 2 months and the doctors never had a plan for me,just kept referring me out and running tons mris and set up my insurance.
