She prescribed a pill without warning me of the serious risks. Within three weeks, I developed multiple pulmonary embolisms, was hospitalized for over three days, and nearly died. Had I been informed of the risks -- especially as a minority patient at higher risk -- I never would have taken it. I will never return to this facility. Providers have a duty to clearly communicate the life-threatening risks associated with birth control, particularly to vulnerable populations.

This place is amazing - I will start with the office staff:…read more I just moved to the District, and I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Burke, the office staff got me in within two weeks, they had taken all of the necessary COVID precautions, and were all incredibly polite and professional. I didn't wait long, and they made the entire process so incredibly easy. They put me at ease in both the intake process and preliminary height/weight/blood pressure measurements. Now, Dr. Burke: Dr. Burke held a consultation with me in his office, where he made sure that I didn't feel rushed, and let me tell him about all of the possible health anxieties I have. He was extensively informative about a whole host of concerns that I brought up, he genuinely listed and heard me. He made me feel so comfortable. Not only very personable, but clearly an expert in his field. He referred me to a mammogram center that he knows and really trusts, communicating to me that even though I'm a brand new patient, he is going to do his best by me to help me feel safe and healthy. I sincerely look forward to seeing Dr. Burke as my primary care physician and women's health physician for as long as I remain in D.C. If I could give the overall experience more than five stars, I certainly would.

Dr. Burke was uber-sensitive to my needs and modesty, even "schooling" the nurse who was ignoring all our requests. I still say my delivery could have been broadcast on national TV and I -- one who is so modest -- would have been ok. Dr. burke had all doors closed, about seven sheets covering me, and too was conservative in his approach. Yes, this was 18+ years ago. I will never forget his attention to my needs and sense of respect for our family needs. (Let's all agree that the mother's needs at the time of delivery reflects the entire family's needs)

I ended up having retained tissue after the abortion and was instructed to go to the ER without any follow up appointment with a doctor. This could have costed me thousands so I instead found an abortion clinic that was willing to take me in despite them not providing the services initially to confirm the need for an emergency visit. They performed a D&C and took care of the remaining tissue without me visiting an ER. There is an issue with after care support which is very necessary with services such as these.

I walked into the office and could have sworn that I was on the set of the reality show "Hoarders"…read more aside from the mess, one got the distinct impression of uncleanliness. The bathroom was a total gross out experience. The chaos made one believe that your test results may not belong to you. After all, in the mess, who can keep track of a name? Next to the cups in the bathroom there were little pieces of cut up paper. I suppose they were to pin on your cup or something. I didn't take any chances, I wrote my name in bold letters. Good lot that would do as the receptionist could not get my name right. She called me by the incorrect name 3 times, and even after I corrected her, she wrote the wrong name on the prescription for a test. Although Dr. Cole obviously knows what she is talking about the way she runs her office invalidates her years of training and experience. I know why she is always late. She tries to give you a diagnoses for every part of your body. Then she really likes to do biographies of other peoples ailments and what worked for them. An hour or two later, you are still sitting there, shredded robe and all (I do not believe paper is meant to be worn for more than 45 minutes). Now what really worried me is that Dr. Cole does not use recyclable speculums. That would be fine if her house is in order. But, if, her receptionist cannot remember a name 2 seconds after she was told, do you really think that she could remember what color was was the disinfected bucket?? I pictured her in my mind saying "ok, red is clean, yellow is not, or it it yellow is clean, red is not?" Yes gross out to the max not to mention unsafe. And, can I add YUCK!! Furthermore, Dr. Cole must be a pharmaceutical reps wet dream. I had so many samples and pills pushed on me, I felt it was Halloween. All I can say is that I walked out of there feeling very very uneasy about the entire experience and had to make another appointment for the same thing elsewhere.

Dr. Cole is a…read morevery kind, caring woman, but she also may want to consider retiring, or going to a limited schedule. She is constantly overscheduled, which results in her becoming scatterbrained. They will call you to inform you that your appointment is being pushed back, but I'm not about to take half a day off of work when my appointment was only supposed to take an hour. I once scheduled an appointment for 3 PM and wasn't seen until 6 or 7 PM. She also doesn't have a trained aide to help her with procedures, and will, more often then not, have her receptionist assist her. I've also never been told to get my blood drawn more often in my life. Seriously she had me get my blood drawn after almost every appointment for seemingly no reason. Like another person said below - she's a pharmaceutical reps wet dream and pushes every kind of treatment and pill on you. She pushed me to get Nexplanon which turned out to be one of the WORST experiences I have ever had. She also became very concerned that I had a heart murmur and sent me to a cardiologist. Cardiologist said I had an extremely healthy heart with no issues, and then I was out of pocket $250 for the appointment. I was her patient for a few years and kept going back because it's so tough to find a gyno with good bedside manner. I left her care because I could no longer trust her as a doctor.

I can't recommend "Dr. Yuri" highly enough. He's extremely knowledgeable and up on all the latest…read moredevelopments in his field. He also has a very friendly and personable bedside manner, which I'm finding more and more rare with most doctors these days. He really goes out of his way to get to know his patients and make them feel comfortable. He never makes you feel rushed like some doctors, and his office is always on time with appointments which I appreciate. Most importantly, he's just a great doctor. Last year when I was pregnant I discovered I had a large ovarian cyst. The OBGYN I was seeing at the time was quick to suggest I'd need surgery when I was only a few weeks pregnant, even though my cyst was showing signs of getting smaller. I went to see Dr. Yuri for a second opinion and he ended up saving me from a risky and unnecessary surgery. He was very thorough and carefully explained all of my options to me. I immediately dropped my other doctor and now send all my DC friends straight to Dr. Yuri.

My second GYN only saw me once and the visit was so poor, I vowed never to return there. I met Dr. Yuri at a meet and greet physician function. He was so pleasant that I thought, yeah, I could go and see him. I see many specialists for a variety of reasons. Dr. Yuri is A++++++++! I had my first visit with him in April, I had to have an "in and out" procedure" in May. He was wonderful explaining everything to me, not assuming that because I am a health care professional that I would understand everything. I was totally comfortable in his office and I was not rushed. America who works for him, is a wonderful and kind person. She is helpful and promptly responds to emails and phone calls. They are high tech; I love the use of phreesia (spelling?). What I loved and appreciated the most was that after my surgery in May, he went out and spoke to my husband, a non health care oriented person, and put him at ease. My husband's first words to me when I woke up from the procedure, "he came out and talked to me at length, he's great!" I am very thankful to have met him!

She always made time to answer my questions or just listen to me cry (often.) The first time I got pregnant and learned the fetus didn't have a heartbeat, Dr. Sarafian said exactly what I needed to hear, which was the right mix of empathy and professionalism. It was difficult, but she was so kind and level-headed about the whole thing, I really trusted her. In my next pregnancy, when I found out my daughter was breech, she walked me through all the options in a very matter-of-fact way. She had no agenda or bias. She always gave me the facts and let me decide what I wanted to do. The baby never turned so I ended up having a c-section. The whole procedure was an hour end-to-end and recovery was extremely fast. I didn't even end up using the pain meds. Many of my friends had horrible delivery experiences with difficult and painful recoveries but I was up and moving in three days. No issues going up and down stairs, driving, etc. Dr. Sarafian is a great doctor and I recommend her without reservation.
