DO NOT GO HERE! Very dangerous. I went to see Dr Harriott because of a very slight tear in my…read moremeniscus, upon looking at the MRI, he wasn't even sure it was a tear. I was concerned because I have a heart condition, so I must be able to continue with aggressive cardio exercise. I very clearly explained this to him, so that he understood that my goal was to preserve my very good and structurally sound knees, in order to stay healthy long term. He strongly recommended hyaluronic knee injections. He sold me on them by saying it was a completely natural substance found in rooster crowns, and there were no potential side effects, since it was the exact substance in the knee, etc. He indicated there were imitation and genetically engineered products available, but he only used that actual natural substance from roosters, so I allowed it. (He later confessed that this was not true and that he actually used the genetically engineered product) TRUSTING HIM WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES OF MY LIFE. I should have known better. After the first injection, I began having significant knee pain, in and around the injection site, migrating up and down from the spot of the injection, even though I was very cautious with using the knee and following all instructions as far as icing, etc. I was very concerned and went over with him at great length prior to the second injection, yet he insisted that the injections were completely safe with no potential side effects, and I should just ice it more afterwards. I reluctantly received the second injection. My knee deteriorated significantly afterwards to a point where I could do no cardio exercise anymore. Prior to the 3rd injection, I called and explained the situation, and said I didn't think I should get the 3rd one. They explained that in order for it to work, I must get the 3rd injection and insisted that I come in for the third one - before 30 days or the treatment will not work properly. I waited an extra week due to the pain I was in, and reluctantly went in. I tried again to explain to the doctor about the deterioration of my knee...He said its not possible to have any type of reaction or negative effect from the injection, and that I should ice it more. He insisted on the third injection, so I relented, hoping that it was true and that I needed to complete the treatment in order to see a benefit. Big mistake. I could not even walk after the third injection. I said to him that I can't put any weight on the leg as he held the door and waited for me to leave. I will never forget the sadistic and unempathetic look on his face while he held the door open for me, as I struggled to put any weight on the leg. He then left me in the room to limp out, get the door myself and struggle out of the office to my car. I had to drive home with my left leg on the gas and brake pedal. i WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I AM A HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL WITH AN EXTREMELY HIGH TOLERANCE TO PAIN AND HAVE PLAYED SPORTS MY WHOLE LIFE. i HAVE HAD MANY INJURIES AND THIS INABILITY TO PUT WEIGHT ON MY LEG WAS THE WORST - INCLUDING BREAKING MY ANKLE IN TWO PLACES. It is now a year and a half later, and I still have extreme pain in the spot of the injection and up and down the knee. There was ZERO pain on this side of the knee prior to the injection. Further, I have done the research and in fact there are substantial side effects to these injections, that outweigh the potential benefits. Good doctors have gotten away from giving them. Money doctors without conscience still do them, gotta keep up a lifestyle I guess.... In summary, this man should not be a doctor. He should have done the world a favor and stayed in engineering. I can't imagine what prompted him to change fields other than $$$$$. It certainly was not an empathetic desire to help people. I wish I never went to him, or Premier for that matter. I would have been much, much, much better off.

While the administrative and nursing staff was relatable, attentive and considerate, the experience with the physician was nothing short of disgust. He was condescending, arrogant, dismissive, belittling and more within the first five minutes of the appointment. While a physician may be an expert, with proven best practices, at the very least should speak with a patient and discuss their concerns. Dr. Carroll presented a very "my way or the highway" approach to my mothers care plan without any consideration for her thoughts. Insofar as intentionally turning his head while she was speaking with crossed arms and shaking his head. All over a cortisone shot. I'm sure this message will fall on deaf ears. If you're reading, Dr. Carroll, I hope that even just for a brief moment you'd consider that your patients are deserving of more than just a lecture. That you would have a bit of compassion, humility and understanding and not be immune to the day to day you see, and meet people where they are.

Ok, so I recently moved back to MD from NYC where I had been seeing a great chiropractor for a…read morewhile. I started looking for a new one down here because my symptoms had come back. I should have gone right to Optimal Health-- most people I know in the area whose opinion I trust on the matter go to Dr Jeff or Dr Sarah... but since they didn't take my insurance... I decided to find another doctor. I was sad... because I had heard great things about Optimal, but I didn't want to not use insurance and have to pay a ton of money out of pocket. :-/ So I found a doctor in the Ocean Pines/Berlin area (not Optimal Health) and went to them for about 2 weeks. 6 visits. I swear it was the most drawn out process EVER. The first visit was just talking about it. Then I got xrays and then came back, they assessed the xrays (for a whole different appointment...) told me what I already told them was the problem when I was in NYC and then for 2 more visits did nothing but putting a vibrating pad on my neck and hip and then some weird ultrasound technology. I cannot believe they charged me for 2 full visits where the doctor barely did anything to me AT ALL.... I even asked after the second visit for a manual neck or hip adjustment (which is what I was used to in NYC) and they actually said "No, that's not how I do things"...... I am 31...not 95. I don't need to get prepped for weeks for an adjustment. Finally they started using a machine to adjust which I did not find effective at all (despite their LITERALLY 30 minute lesson on how the machine worked...basically I paid them to talk about their machine for 30 minutes that session...) I was steaming! I wanted to leave but I already paid for the session. Boy did this chiropractor like hearing themselves talk.......... ANYWAY, after I left there that day, I drove to **Optimal Health Chiropractic**. I mean literally from their office to Optimal on my way home. I was seriously considering just forking over whatever it cost to actually get a legit adjustment. As I already knew, they didn't accept my insurance. When I came in to explain what was going on, Dr. Sarah and the office manager were there listening. Dr. Sarah was very helpful in helping me understand the difference at their place...and they even explained that if I came on as a cash patient it would actually be cheaper than me going through my insurance as out of network. I was surprised.... and as it turns out, paying straight cash (not dealing with insurance at all) an appointment here with Dr Jeff is only $5 more than my copay the other chiropractor (which was $35). I was shocked. Well... let's do that. I had my appointment today (all of this took place yesterday!) in the morning. I was impressed with how fast they got me in. Dr. Jeff did a full review of my written information and did some tests about my range of motion, asked me lots of questions about what hurt and when...very thorough. And then....wait for it.....WE STARTED RIGHT AWAY. Like that minute... because he was able to figure out what was wrong with me, which xrays in NYC and from the other chiropractor confirmed, without even using xrays. He literally figured it out in 10 minutes with a little pushing/pressing and examining of my neck, lower back and hips. Like a damn miracle worker. We went into another room and he immediately got to work and did some neck/hip/back adjusting. And just like that, in 30 minutes.... he did what the other chiropractor didn't do in 6 visits. SIX. SIX VISITS. What a huge waste of money going anywhere else was for me. Tomorrow I am breaking up with my old chiropractor.... Dr. Jeff is my new guy.

I got back in here just a bit ago and I had a voicemail message that it was the 'fourth time she had called and left a message'. No name. No company name. So I had no idea who was calling or for what. Called the number back and found out it was this place. Dr. Said's scheduler got on the line and told her about her message she left and that I didn't appreciate and did not care how many times she called (she should have taken the hint if nothing else) but that clearly she hadn't got my message that my dad had died and I'd call when I was ready. I went on to say that at this point, I felt harassed and to delete my number and never call me again. I hung up. The couple of times I saw Dr. Said, I never had an issue. His scheduler acts as though she gets a percentage of every surgery he does! If I keep getting rescheduled, clearly he has enough work to keep him busy, so why is she so pressed to get ME on the schedule when everyone else's surgery is a priority over mine? I'll never go there again and tell everyone with a pulse not to go there either if they get stuck with Dr. Said's scheduler.
