The waiting room was a bit confusing--there was a clipboard on the end table but it had the wrong date--after waiting to speak with reception they indicated to still sign in on that sheet. Things only went up from there. The front desk staff were nice and helpful. I did wish that they had sent the forms/link for preregistration ahead of time, but minor issue. They prefilled my info on the iPad and forms so I mostly just had to sign and update family history. Once everything is completed and any co-pays paid, they take you back to the room to get changed. You get to keep everything on except your top half. Yay for no freezing full gown. The changing area is cute (considering) and they have lockers for your personal items. Everything was clean and organized. I had a nice chat with another patient as we were waiting to be called to the radiology room. I got an absolutely wonderful tech who was upbeat, thorough, kind and funny. Zina (hope I got that right) really made the experience great. She explained everything, gave clear instructions, and chatted away so I was completely comfortable. While I likely just had the normal scans, it was not really painful. Will update this review if there are issues with getting the results or billing as others have mentioned, but would recommend right now!

I have had significant issues with charges being more than quoted over the phone, incomplete communication about authorization, deductibles, and other things. However, generally speaking, they have gotten the job done. I don't like that parking needs validation and they only validate up to 1.5 hours - and some mammograms take longer with ultrasound and additional imaging. They also can be a bit short over the phone, and fail to provide context that other radiology facilities might be more inclined to include. However, I do appreciate that this location has a broad range of services available and is prompt with answering calls and attempting to answer questions. Never my first choice as there are some amazing radiologist in the area, but a lot of them have inconvenient appointment times and can take months to schedule. I wouldn't suggest parking on the street, as the police ticket cars immediately when the meter expires. The parking garage is also an issue when going for a first mammogram as they tend to take longer. For subsequent visits, they are good about getting patients out very quickly while still doing what needs to be done. Though, you may feel rushed, I do like it better this way than worrying about having to pay for going over time in the parking garage. One thing I don't like about them is that they had been charging $20 for a CD to bring back to your provider. The other radiologists that I've been to have never charged me for a CD, so I was very disappointed as my provider was shocked that the CD costs exta and she prefers the CDs to go over the findings with patients in an extended consultation with lots of visuals - she apparently needs to CD to do this effectively, so I was not able to receive the same level of detail about my treatment plan that I previously received, due to having my imaging done at Tower Radiology. I hope that they reconsider this charge. Anyway, I think it is better to know what to expect going into it. I added an extra star for convenience.

I needed to have a biopsy of my thyroid. My insurance said it would be covered at Georgetown. I…read morescheduled it and then they cancelled and said it was not covered. This is before I called pretty much every MedStar radiology location to schedule this procedure. Kevin, the deputy director at Lafayette, told me that my insurance would fully cover it (of course without a copay) and I had the biopsy done. It was incredibly painful. I sat and cried afterwards. The needle was inserted 5 or 6 times. After being told by Kevin that it was covered I received a bill in the several hundreds of dollars, with a small amount covered by my insurance. The results revealed that not enough of a sample was taken but that insufficient sample was "evaluated" anyway at Georgetown (the place that said my insurance didn't cover it). I called Kevin and he said he would work with billing to take care of the bill, esp since I have no results. I asked what other options are other than having to get this done again. He said the person who performed the procedure is no longer in the office and he would try to reach her. I said can't someone else in Medstar's radiology system look at the results and tell me something. Apparently not. An endocrinologist could look at my history and the current scans and advise me but this will take several months to get in with Medstar's endocrinologists. I've been speaking with Kevin since January of this year. I've been paying part of the bill to avoid collections. I am unemployed but don't want this bill to screw up my credit so I'm paying. After Kevin once again told me it was taken care of about a month I received a bill that said final notice. So I will pay off the bill. I have no idea if I have cancerous thyroid nodules. I am paying for a bill that I was told by the deputy director would be covered. I made an appointment with an endocrinologist outside of Medstar to advise me. I wish I had stuck with my gut feeling and kept an appointment with another provider to discuss and have the biopsy. But when Kevin scheduled it and said it was taken care of... Later I found out from someone in Medstar that frustrations with Medstar's radiology department is typical. Wish I had known that sooner. I would have gone elsewhere. I suggest you do the same.

This place is the worst.

I let the scheduler know that I was between primary care doctors (my previous doctor left her practice) and she said that was fine, but after sitting for half an hour in a packed waiting room I was told by the front desk that it's illegal for them to give me a mammogram if I don't have a primary care doc for them to send it to. I personally think this is stupid, but if this is their policy why was I even given an appointment? Please find another location, I've had a good experience with their Germantown office.

I admit, I was very skeptical, but the practice is so efficient and friendly, I'm recommending them to the Yelp DC community! And I"m very fussy about health care (I'm from Boston, what can I say--it's the best city in the US for health care!) The one item I was hesitant about--it's a common problem in the DC metro area--is you won't get an MD, you'll be seen by a Physician's Assistant. But--I lost my primary care MD 5 years ago, so started calling practices, GW MFA, etc., a year ago to find a new MD. Forget about it. I started calling again recently, hoping there were doctors available. Nope. There is NOTHING out there--I had estimates of waiting times of several MONTHS for an appointment with an MD. No one offered an appointment with an NP or a PA. A few places wouldn't even put me on for a wait list appointment! It's dire. I had no choice but to sign up at One Medical, which btw was recommended by two friends with high standards for doctors. There is another potential issue, that it's only general practice, no specialists. But they do a lot of the requisite tests, blood tests, etc. I already have my specialists, so it's not a problem for me. And my PA is excellent. She is pretty young, but very well trained, very smart, and responsive. And you can tell she likes her job! More good things about Farragut Square OneMed. I"ve been several times since joining a few months ago, and I've NEVER had a wait. The front desk folks, the techs, the medical professionals? All excellent, very personable, and polite. What a change from some other DC medical practices! They take insurance--and if you're not insured, they will figure it out. Also, they are so tech forward, everything is very easy to accomplish, and not stressful. No waiting on hold! Again, what a change. Anyway, if you need a primary care MD, and can't find anyone, give one of these practices a try. If you don't like them, you can leave.

The whole point of paying for it is supposedly so you can get prompt responses and next day treatment. At first, I could always get appointments same day or the very least the next day.

A more traditional doctor, I could call and ask to be seen same day. But no one answers messages on the app anymore. I'm trying to switch practices but no one will answer me through the app how to cancel my membership. If you are looking for premium care and service, this is definitely not it anymore.
