If it wasn't for the staff I would have gave 1 star, I called to get an appointment I was having…read moresome abdomen pain all weekend. I didn't want to goto the ER/ED unless it got worse because it cost so much money to goto the their, I can got the Dr for $25 get a CT scan for $65 and about $20 for blood work. The hospital would cost me about $1250+, you get a bill from the hospital for blood work, the room, facility charges and miscellaneous items. Then a bill from radiology and another bill from the ER/ED Dr, so that like 3-4 different bills to do the same thing. Now back to the Dr visit, I arrived at 11:35 checked in for my 12:00 appt. paid then waited in the waiting area until 12:20 Nurse called me we were walking to the room and she said the Dr. is backed up.... She was extremely friendly did her stuff and then say its going to be a while before he gets to you.. It was like 12:45 when Dr, Berg came in, now they want you to be there 20 min early but its ok to make you wait before they get to youth and if your 6 min late may as well stay home they wont see you and they will charge you. Dr Berg asked me what was wrong and I explained, he then asks me some questions. Do you need a rectal exam today? No I came in for my abdomen pain. Does it burn a little when you pee, sometime not a lot? Oh then we need to do a STD test, NO we don't I don't have a STD doc. Then a bunch of other questions about me hurting, he says well let me write up some paperwork for you. He's looking on the computer and asked me what do you want me to do, you can just go over to the hospital. I didn't want that I said because it cost to much money to goto the ED/ER, oh ya I agree he said let do some bloodwork and you can go get a CT scan. He asked if I have had contrast before yes I said the one they shoot in you while doing the scan. He got pissed because he was talking about the one you drink and now he has to write the script over, I said just leave it.. Then I asked if Dr. Lowenthal retired, he says I don't know he's not my dr. Im just trying to have a conversation.. Im going to steer clear of him everyone should, but all of the staff were friendly and helpful.

I saw Amber Sisenstien and she was a complete joke. Rude, condescending, and just a horrible…read moreattitude. I was beyond her scope of care and I guess she just couldn't admit that. She comes off very ditzy and just horrible bedside manner. No compassion at all. If you have a complicated health history don't even bother seeing her. She's a joke. I have since found another practice in the county that is much better and is actually equipped to handle the complexity of my health issues. I'm on disability and I should have never agreed to see her and should've requested an MD instead. Lesson learned. Do not go to her if you value your health, go elsewhere! I am seeing Parul Jani MD in Prince Frederick and she is vey thorough and wonderful bedside manner.

Today, while waiting for an appointment with Patti, the front desk receptionist, Cherie (the woman…read morewith red hair), was very rude when I asked when I would be seen. I had been waiting for 30 minutes, which is unusual when seeing Patti. I happened to ask at the same time another patient was called back. Cherie responded, "They are being seen by Dr. Jani. When Patti gets a room, you will be called back." I said, "Oh, no, I was not asking because they went back. I was asking because I've been here for 30 minutes." I continued speaking calmly, even though she was being very dismissive and rude, seemingly so she could return to talking with her friend, who was another patient. She then said, "Like I said, they are seeing Dr. Jani. You will be called back when a room becomes available." I asked her, "Why do you keep talking about other patients? That is not why I asked when I would be able to go back." I have been a patient at this office for years, and I am familiar with how medical appointments work. There may be patients who are called back before me because they are seeing a different provider. That was not my reason for asking. When I walked away after her rude response, I saw Cherie look at me with annoyance. I told her that I hoped she would have a better day, and she said she was having a great day. I responded that it did not seem like it. When I sat down, an elderly woman next to me appeared shocked by Cherie's unprofessional behavior. When I was called back later, Cherie looked at me in a very mean and intimidating way, as though she wanted to fight me. She was squinting her eyes at me and making other intimidating facial expressions. While I was in the examination room, I overheard her speaking very loudly and openly about my patient status to another patient who appeared to be her friend. Cherie said that my chart showed I had previously been discharged, that Patti allowed me to return, and that everyone was now regretting it. Regardless of the truth of that claim, I hope Dr. Mehta and Associates take this matter seriously. Their front desk staff member openly discussed information from my medical chart with another patient, which may constitute a serious HIPAA privacy violation. Cherie's behavior today was unprovoked, unprofessional, and disgusting. She did not stop at simply being rude. She escalated the situation by attempting to intimidate me with her facial expressions. She then took matters much too far by loudly discussing private information from my chart with another patient. Cherie also disclosed information about another patient by stating who that patient's doctor was.

Today I received an envelope from Medstar Medical Group - So MD LLC. The envelope had my address…read morehand written on it and postage from a Pitney Bowes machine, (likely in house, from a mail room). The envelope was completely unsealed. No tape, the adhesive untouched. Inside was a Xerox of my health insurance card, taped and composed as a card. My entire health insurance was vulnerable and made available for someone to copy, write down and use for themselves or sell on the Black web. I am outraged that this business could be so entirely careless with my critical personal information. I wanted to believe that my prior bad experience was a one off and just a bad day. This error speaks to a level and consistent carelessness that makes me feel entirely at risk.

First impressions definitely carry a lot of weight when dealing with a new business. I visited…read moreNeurology yesterday and things were running behind schedule as isn't uncommon in a hospital setting. After checking in at the registration desk I found a seat and waited my turn. The lady who assisted me at the registration desk certainly had the people skills necessary for the job. She was very pleasant and very helpful throughout my visit. I was sitting for about a half hour when she left her desk to come over to me to explain why the EMGs were behind schedule. I sat a while longer before walking up to her window and before I could open my mouth she smiled at me and said they were now cleaning the EMG room, and I was next. She then thanked me for my patience. This is how valuable those acts of kindness are. My letter today could have very easily been a long bitch session because I had to drive all the way from Waldorf, I got there twenty minutes early but wasn't seen by the doctor until more than an hour after my appointment but I was so impressed with the personal attention I was given by Diane G the wait was no big deal.

I will never ever consult or recommend anyone to consult with Dolores Rhodes, Gastroenterology…read more Also upset with Dr Bright. My mother is 89 and developed an intestinal problem. She was diagnosed with a few minor issues but needed proper diagnosis. Was told to follow up with Rhodes. She met with family and said she would like to schedule testing and to get it on the books. Family was not happy with her snappy disposition and poor bedside mannerism. Scheduled the tests and received a call the same day that she will not see my mother. WTFUDGE? Requested Dr Bright instead and was told she will not treat my mother. Dr Rhodes called me due to my urgent request for answers, told me my mom has a liquid filtering problem (never told this before and it's inaccurate) and if they do find something serious do I want to put her through it. I told her I don't want my mom suffering and she must have a good quality of life. Instinct told me to not let this go..... Thus after several weeks of not feeling good about Dr Rhodes giving up on my mom, I was able to find a specialist that accepted my moms insurance. The new specialist immediately ordered tests and was extremely unhappy mom was blown off from Rhodes and Bright. Sadly, this process has been several months and yesterday a test was done and it's not good. I pray we caught the large tumor (suspected C type tumor) in time given what we have been through. We are seeing a surgeon this week! Note, mom is healthy and only takes one cholesterol pill and eye drops with supplements. No other problems-works out twice per week, independent, walks everywhere! It's beyond me why Rhodes didn't want to provide patient care except age. Will never ever go back to Rhodes and Bright. Done! Follow your instinct and if something isn't right, find someone else to help you.

Run. He doesn't…read morelisten. Doesn't run appropriate bloodwork for yearly physicals, even when prescribing medications where blood should be monitored. He doesn't follow up or consistently track test results that require monitoring, you know..Like do his job. He will make you feel a fool, should you mention a pain, example: During my last physical he asked if I had any issue to discuss. I mentioned some pain I was having in my left forearm. He pretty much rolled his eyes and said, "squeeze my finger", then says, "you have fibromyalgia, and there's nothing that can be done about that". He also said my issues are from stress due to the loss of my son in 2010 and that he has another patient that lost 2-3 kids and that gentleman is getting up everyday and handling it. "Dr" gallatin knows nothing of my life and he should just stick to job and run the bloodwork. I do not have fibromyalgia and, there are things that can be done, if I did. Though I do not have fibromyalgia, I do have many issues that would and SHOULD have been addressed via bloodwork and a thorough physical by the primary physician. Instead, it took me 4 months, specialists and a new primary to get relief. He will also file revisions 6 months later to the insurance company to say during the physical he had to speak to me about my fibromyalgia. In doing so, he got more money for the joke of a physical and...would like a copay for such. That said, in recent months, the practice seems to be putting additional fees on anything, to include using the portal that they push their patients to use for "convenience". Run.
