While I was doing most of it, I needed time to get out to take care of my own job and other projects. I called Georgetown Home Care, and they responded, do you need immediate help? Where other agencies it was quite obvious that it was going to take time for them to evaluate if they wanted to help us. Georgetown Home Care was there the next day. We felt as if we were there only client. They found us a compatible aide and they were very caring as a company. Right up until the end. Which came as quick as the need for home care did. Overall very pleased with the responsiveness and the aides that were assigned to us.

**** Update**** I have decided to update this review after…read morethe manager reach out to me to clear up the situation. As I mentioned in my original review it was truly a shocking moment to me that I refused to believe had happened considering how long I have been a patient of NWNP. Northwest Nurse Practitioner Associates to me represented everything that a family practice should embody and that is now missing in the health care system : empathy, compassion, knowledge, detailed-oriented, patience, confidence, trust, passion. I found all of the above qualities visiting Erin every years for the past 7 years and that last encounter (over the phone) with the manager was the complete opposite of what I was accustomed to hence my disbelief. I have the utmost respect for her and what she has built over the years and my decision to update my review is solely based on those 7 years. I do not believe that one incident should erase the consistent positive interactions and great care I have received from NWNP over the years. I want to believe that there was a miscommunication between me and the manager and it was not his intend to make me feel unheard. I appreciate him taking the time to reach out and write an apology email.

And that was true during that time. But something changed significantly as she transitioned to a sort of direct primary care practice and functional medicine practice. The practice seemed more impersonal. For example she tried to direct me away from monitoring my liver scores when I started taking statins. Although she had previously had the position that medications always have risks in promoting alternative medicine considerations and I had told her of my brother's death from non alcoholic cirrhosis due unmonitored prescription of cholesterol medication she tried to talk me out of the monitoring. At one point I had told her I didn't want to die from cirrhosis her reply was that there were worse ways to die.

Today when I said we were going to her doctor my 2.5 year old kept repeating "I am so excited" and "this is the best day ever!" Dr. Lang and Beth follow up with phone calls when my daughter has been sick and are overall very caring and supportive. And the specialists they have referred us to have all been good. In the past we have experienced long wait times but that has resolved. Also, having a pharmacy on the first floor of the building is very convenient.

Dr. Lang was very nice when we did see her but overall I did not like the feel of the office. I also wanted to be somewhere I could call after-hours with a question or come on the weekend if I needed too without paying a concierge fee. Like I said, this office just wasn't for us. I didn't really do any research prior to going here because she was a recommendation from my OBGYN office (which I loved)-but I would recommend researching any new dr prior to going. The culture of the office wasn't what I wanted. I love our practice now and felt at home the minute I walked in the door. My daughter is now two and was only at this practice for about three months back in 2016.

So read that stance again- this practice TAKES INSURANCE. For most people that means nothing- there's an assumption of we have insurance so a practices should take it. As an insurance accepting practice myself- that is NOT how it works. Small medical practice's (solo woman owned / mom and pop establishments etc like this one)- take a HUGE hit when accepting insurance contracts for their reimbursement. At this point many small business are getting paid HALF of what their cash only / self pay only counterparts are getting paid. Also- keep in mind, an insurance contract doesn't increase with inflation, cost of living, rising employer salaries etc.... I give the business lesson because it's only fair for people to be informed as to why a business structure is what it is for the sake of survival... Now on to the actual PRACTITIONERS- this staff is honestly saving people from surgeries, worsening conditions, and maladaptive body patterns... I've been working with them for 8-9 years and my mom now drives from VA to go to them as well. They're priceless in their cleanliness, knowledge, anatomy and functionality awareness plus FULL body attention. I cannot express how many times a DOCTOR or SURGEON has sent me in for an issue- and they've figured out it's stemming from somewhere totally different ! They also are certified to do dry needling and that's PRICELESS !!

The quality of care is pretty good (friendly, knowledgeable). However, the billing process and…read morepatient portal are frustrating to the point of this being too stressful of a practice to go to. I can't be certain I am not overpaying for services here. You get constant reminders to pay your balance (sometimes pay or you can't schedule) BUT the portal only shows billing statements (an unclear pdf of the visits there *was* an outstanding balance for). It's unclear because the portal does NOT give you the option to see (1) Past payments you made, (2) An explanation or summary of WHY your balance is what it is. CFAO (the people behind PhysioDC) also don't necessarily map your checks to the specific appt -- so it's impossible to track why you STILL have a balance despite you having sent a check each time you were billed. Very stressful, unclear. It's not right to have a payment balance and not make it easy for patients to understand where the balance is coming from (or dispute it).

She diagnosed him with a specific viral infection and gave me great advice how to take care of him to lessen his pain.

I have never experienced a physician who will pick up the phone while sitting on the dining table and eating their meal and will tell me no problem she doesn't mind talking to me. I talk with many physicians not just Dr. Tuli so I know that for sure. By the way I'm in a healthcare field for 20 years and Dr. Tuli sees my residents. I manage 3 healthcare facilities.

I've a condition that, to my surprise, she had never heard of though it is quite common- common enough that you see commercials on TV for medication for it. While explaining how previous doctors have treated it, she made judgmental faces. Her body language, facial expressions, and tone was plain nasty. I mean, how judgmental can you be if you are not familiar with the treatment of the illness? And even if you don't approve of other doctors' treatment, you can state that verbally- not with nasty little faces or rude sighs and tsks like I am a child confessing to stealing candy. Half the time her facial expressions to my recounting my medical history was as if she was smelling something foul- not sympathetic or empathetic or engaging active listening skills - pure nasty cringing. So unprofessional! Furthermore, she was obnoxious and seems to be used to treating patients who don't ask any questions- and she treats patients who ask questions poorly to discourage more questions. She would not give more than 1 sentence curt replies to questions and was insulted that I actually wanted to have a dialogue about my healthcare. Also I had given my only copy of notes from previous Dr. The nurse said she could make a copy and return my copy since it was my only copy. As I was checking out, Dr. Tuli overheard me tell the nurse that I wouldn't be returning. When I asked for my originals, the nurse said she would make a copy in 2 min, Tuli ran in saying that they wouldnt return them-not a copy or original. After a 20 min fight, she threw the originals back at me without making a copy for her file. Insane! Even if I was never coming back, those notes were still part of the record of our encounter. Forget her horrendous bedside manner, she was a plain bully. I have dealt with lawyers and bullies on the playground where I have felt the same. I have never had such a poor interaction with a doctor.
