When I requested for certain tests, the tech (not the doctor) gave push back stating I didn't need them when last I checked that wasn't her decision to make. She was also not pleasant and I could tell by the way she was training the other tech that was with her. The patient experience was awful and the rooms did not seem clean either. The only person who knew what they were doing seemed to be the PA who saw me and even then I had my cousin on the phone who's an MD just to make sure.

This was misdiagnosed by another neurologist. After my surgery, I've had some residual problems due to damage done to the large tumor. She has patiently treated me in various ways, allowing me to minimize the symptoms and fully enjoy life. Yes, you do sometimes wait to see her, but it's because she takes time with each patient and seen as a person. I highly recommend her and believe if I hadn't gotten a second opinion, I would not be here today.

I have been a very happy patient of Dr. Ruani Gunawardane since 2009. Following a stroke in 2009,…read moreI was referred to "Dr. G" by my primary care physician, I was away in Florida when the stroke occurred, so I was amazed when Dr. G. assured me that she would find the cause of the stroke (I had doubts, after all, 8 days had passed already)! Dr. G. ordered a TEE test and determined the stroke was to to a PFO (a small bypass hole in my heart that had not closed since birth and allowed a small clot to enter my brain). Following her direction, I was sent to a surgeon who was able to close the PFO with a device, called an Amplatzer, in order to prevent a clot from causing another stroke. Since that time, I have had routine follow-up appointments to monitor my progress to recovery. Dr.G is very popular, but her time and advice has made my life to recovery very happy.

Seeing a specialist was easier than some insurances initially but then got harder when I asked to see the one I needed and they sent me to every other one wasting time and money. They misdiagnosed me once they saw mental symptoms when there was a medical reason, caused the problem to get worse and then it took me forever to figure out what I needed because they made me doubt myself. They did not really listen and got annoyed the more I got frustrated after being pushed off for years. They also told me I had to wait 5 years for a pap as I was in pain and sitting there legs spread ready for the pap and they took the smear and threw it away instead of sending it in and caused me extreme pain until switching doctors. However the nurses are friendly and the S Baltimore urgent care is nice but overall they are systematically severely flawed.

Last night I experienced the absolute worst bedside manner I have ever seen from Dr. Matthew…read moreKramer. He was rude and condescending from the moment he entered the room. He completely dismissed and invalidated all of our concerns and all but accused us of lying. He spoke with an extreme level of disrespect and directed more of his attitude toward the people of color in the room. I would recommend that no one with any kind of urgency visit this ER and no one who wishes to be treated with basic decency and respect see Dr. Matthew Kramp. His horrific complete and total lack of beside manner completely derailed any hope we had of finding some answers, let alone timely ones. When we informed the nurse of our experience, she suggested we fill out the survey they'd be mailing us, and when pressed, offered that we could call the manager (but no contact info was provided). There seems to be no expectation of timely or adequate care at this hospital. 0/10 absolutely not worth going.

I've been a patient for less than 1 year. I needed my antidepressant (non-controlled) refilled. Ran out of meds, pharmacy said Roseu refused to refill. Called Roseu to get more information, was told I needed to come back in to see the doctor despite my last visit having been less than 6 months ago. Going through Effexor withdrawal, was promised they would send RX immediately. Office closed, no RX sent to my pharmacy, now sitting on my couch shaking, dizzy, and having the Effexor brain shock syndrome. Instead of telling me in advance I would need to see the doctor again (apparently once per month?), they just let me suffer. Will be filing a report with the medical board.

Here we are in this crazy, COVID-laden world and all I hear are "get tested" and "get vaccinated"…read morepractically every day. We've been dealing with this for two years now and it's getting quite tiresome honestly. Nevertheless, when I finally made the conscious decision to get vaccinated, I was trying to figure out where to go and found out that my local health department gives out the vaccine and you can choose which one you want. I was able to register online for my appointment. When I got my first two shots, I went to the vaccine clinic that the health department was holding at Howard County Community College. I recently got my booster and this time, I went to the actual health department location on Stanford Blvd in Columbia. Each visit was pretty seamless. I checked in, they verified which vaccine I was getting and if it was my first, second, or third shot, and then I got in line to wait for the next available nurse to give me the vaccine. Afterwards, they have a waiting area and ask you to wait 15 minutes to make sure you don't have any bad reactions to the vaccine and then you're on your way. The Howard County Health Department also offers COVID testing and distributes at-home tests as well. I'm hoping to see an end to this frenzy soon but I'm thankful that HoCo Health Department has been very helpful through all of this.

The testing lines seem to be long everywhere and here is no exception. On this Monday morning they were giving out 400 at home test kits and doing onsite testing from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. People started lining up at 6 AM for the at home test. Around 8 AM one of the employees came out and they passed out tickets to the first 200 people in line. This guarantee that each of them would receive two tests. Everyone else was sent home because there were no more tests available. But most of those people just walk and get into the line for the whole on site testing. There were a lot of walk-ups it only a few people who showed up with appointments. If you look online there were no appointments available. The weights were pretty long considering people waited over an hour before the doors even opened. Once they started the line move pretty quickly. Hopefully the situation improves and the testing locations will have the small backyards in the near future. Overall they are doing a pretty good job at the Howard county health department.

Covid testing is conveniently done outside in the back of the facility where they have a tent set up and staff available to assist right away. This way it keeps everyone safer. I highly recommend them for your wellness needs.
