Dr Ditto is my current Dr., but many times I am seen by a P.A. or nurse. I have no complaints about my care. They are friendly, thorough, and appointment times are on time 90% of the time. And if delayed, its only minutes. Yes, they are busy, but thats to be expected. Never have to wait long for an appointment, and they seem to prioritize more urgent matters.

After a bad fall I went to Merritus Medical ER. The nurses were rude & forceful. No compassion…read more When a CT scan was ordered for me, I was taken into that room. They said I needed to have my cross removed from my neck, which made sense. However removing it by the clasp, the just ripped my silver chain from my neck. That destroyed my chain. My assigned doctor wouldn't even come into my room. He spoke to me from the ER curtain. I felt like the guy in the game "Operation ". They kept sticking tubes into my pee hole to drain urine. I could sleep because of all the chatter in the nurses station right across the hall from me. I'm diabetic & wasn't offered anything to eat. I could feel my sugar levels drop & I think I actually had a diabetic episode. Someone told me once "people go to Meritus to die & or go broke". Hospital from hell! Every time I requested water or a snack, the attending nurses were like"ok whenever". My worst nightmare!

They have known for weeks that she was having surgery and have yet to send over to the surgeon her release papers. Her surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 8th. The offices have been closed since Thursday. She went to see them on Wednesday and was promised after several weeks of "yes, we are sending it over" to "yes we will send it today, Wednesday, June 3rd. Well, we called the surgeon today to verify that they got the release forms and nothing. Not only has this caused undue angst to my friend, but the surgery will also have to be postponed and just imagine the surgeon and his staff - the cost of their valuable time. I am planning on suing them. No excuse. This behavior is unacceptable.

They offer a variety of services, including sick visits, physicals, weight management, mental health support, and more. I even bring my teen here, and she loves it just as much as I do. The facility is impeccably clean, with a warm and inviting ambiance. I personally see Christine Kent , but all providers offer great bedside manner and thoroughness.

My most heartfelt thanks most especially to Dr. Richter & Dr. Metz, for the kind and compassionate medical services they have provided me. The staff of nurses are the most competent I've ever had.

The system for scheduling initial appointments is broken. I understand appointments are 6 months…read moreout but there is no process for signing up for an appt today, for an appt 6 months out. Depending on who you talk to or see, making an appt after submitting new patient paperwork is hit or miss. Some people call & get an appt 6 months out. Others who call after submitting new pt and insurance forms, can be told dental is closed until April 2024. No waiting list or scheduling, despite having submitted insurance info and new pt paperwork. No suggestions on how to get on the books for an appt. I would suggest Dental Services of Frederick if an adult using Healthy Smiles. When entering their waiting room, the receptionist was smiling & happy to answer questions. A staff member told us appt.s were 6 months out but we were able to actually schedule it. Once home we got a call on a cancelation, due to our special dental need we were offered an appt in 6 weeks. The staff was courteous, competent & welcoming. Kindness made a big difference. ......The actual dentists & hygienists at Hagerstown Family Health are great, but getting an appointment w/ out being redirected to different departments with no date scheduled, is stressful & disrespectful. It's concerning it's 50/50 on what answer you are given over the telephone at HFHC. God bless the staff who try, and are pleasant, it's gotta be hard. I appreciate the HFHC staff who have been helpful & pleasant.

Meanwhile at the same clinic, my first and only visit with Dr. Beckwith was unexpected. He appeared to know what he was doing at first, but then proceeded to give me injectable lidocaine on a cloth and drape it over my 5 inch by 5 inch wound for 5 minutes before performing my surgery thinking that would help my pain. He then proceeded to take over my chart declaring himself as my main doctor, declaring I had alcoholism despite being under 21, and unqualifiably misdiognosed me with a seizure disorder (which has now been proven 4 months later). He declared that if I were going to attempt to drive home with my now "seizure disorder" he was going to call the dmv or the cops. Definitely never visiting him again. This nice lady from meritus neurology robinwood fixed my chart the other day and she read the awful things in there about me and turns out the mean dr's who have been misjudging me and not listening to me lately were all because of Dr Beckwith. He made fun of people who complained about him, he told me that. Guess he'll have to laugh at this one too right.

I spent 2 weeks being transferred to various people at that office before finally being told that despite me following their cancellation policy to a T the discharge still stands. This is utterly ridiculous. The provider I was seeing, Christine Feathers is a terrible excuse for an NP. Not only does she not listen to anything I say as a patient, she flat out refused to refer me to an endocrinologist despite me requesting a referral, citing she felt like she could manage my diabetes in house, only to refuse to prescribe anything other than Metformin despite me having significant side effects for 2 months while taking it.

I never know if I'm going to be treated kindly or as if I'm a nuisance and it depends on the moods of whoever is up there and not on my behavior. The last few times, I saw Lauren. The first time she was going to send me out without an antibiotic and Dr. Money consulted and said I absolutely needed the antibiotic. The second time, I didn't feel heard at all. The third time I went in with a serious concern and was sent for labs. I had to call to follow up and spoke with a nurse who gave me the lab results, but it was only letters and numbers. I had NO idea what any of it meant. I asked her what I was supposed to do and she said Lauren said to take an iron pill and call a gynecologist. When I asked for a recommendation, I was given the one place I told them I could not go due to a sad experience there. I cried so much, but knew I might have luck with the specialist. I ended up in the ER when I called the gynecologist's office, explained my symptoms, and was told by them to get to the ER immediately. The doctor on call from that practice got personally involved when he found out how I was treated and was a miracle worker as I am now doing so well. I could have avoided all of this and many of the doctors and nurses who work in the gynecologist's office were shocked to hear how I was treated. I've heard very good things about Christine and Dr. Money, but again... I'm not really experienced with them. I am scared to go back there as I'm worried they are going to put me with Lauren again and that something will be missed.
