I would give this location a better rating if it weren't for my TRAUMATIZING labor experience with…read moreDr. Evita James. I usually see the male doctor (dr. Gabriel Valverde) which is an amazing doctor and by far the kindest male doctor that I've seen. This rating is for Dr. James and it's a shame she drags her colleague and staff to such a low rating. She is soooo rough, bed side manner is terrible, she's rude and she completely ignored my cries of pain while in labor and provided NO reassurance. Here's my story: I'm not new to labor pains and giving birth to a baby with no epidural (I now have three precious babies). I was pregnant with my third baby and care was provided by Dr. Valverde. Unfortunately, the day I went into labor Dr. James was on call and she would be delivering my baby that day. I went into labor at 36 weeks, which naturally any mother would be concerned. I was admitted to the hospital at 10am and had IV on by 10:40am and was 3cm dilated, Dr. James did not show up to speak with me until 4pm. I kept asking the nurse when I would see her to ask questions and all they kept telling me was she would be there shortly (obviously stalling) and I waited what seemed like forever only for her to leave me with the same anxiety I was experiencing because of my early labor pains. She "guessed" it was because I was having sex (she did not ask if I had sex) and that's why I began having contractions. When I denied and explained to her I was not sexually active her smile disappeared and whole mood changed to what seemed as her being annoyed with me. She then walked to the computer and began typing silently. Once she was finished she walked over to the door and said we will continue to monitor the contractions and baby and would return and check on me later and walked out, leaving me no room to ask her anymore questions, at that point I knew I didn't want her to deliver my baby and felt so insecure with the care she would be able to provide for me & my baby. She didn't check my cervix at all and I believe at that point I must've still been 3-4cm dilated. Fast forward to 9:35pm, Nurses were confused as to why I was having my bloody show and my water hadn't broken yet. Dr. James didn't return to check on me until she was called by the nurses at that time. She walked in and told me she was gonna check my cervix and forcefully shoved her fingers in causing me to scream and curl in pain. She then asked for the amniotic hook to break my water and when she went to insert the hook she literally pulled me to the side with her fingers hooking on to my vagina causing me to cry in pain even more. As soon as my water broke she asked the nurses to prepare for delivery. All I saw was nurses running around in a hurry trying to set everything up. Once they removed the bottom part of the bed she instructed me to scooch all the way down & hold on to my knees and push. I thought she would pull out the leg rest but they weren't. The top of the bed was inclined down and the bottom was inclined up making it hard for me to lay back to catch a breath to push and felt like I was doing sit ups each time making it extremely uncomfortable causing my whole body to work even harder to push my baby out. Exhausted and in so much pain I kept telling her I was uncomfortable and I couldn't push I kept making a loud grunting noise she just answered by saying to to not grunt and push silently and ignoring what I had said to her. I was at the point where I was ready to give up but I said a prayer and asked God to please give me strength because I needed him because I couldn't continue.. with my whole body shaking with exhaustion I pushed as hard as I could and sure enough God heard my prayer and my baby was born at exactly 10pm. I thought at that point my pain was finally over, HAHA jokes on me! Once she handed my baby to the nurses she proceeded to the next step which was to deliver the placenta. She didn't even give my partner the chance to cut the umbilical cord. She kept trying to pull on my placenta to come out but for some reason wouldn't. She kept pulling and pressing on my stomach for 15 mins till I guess her patience ran out and yanked on the placenta causing a portion to rip inside and her having to go back in and remove that piece out with what looked like foot long clamps and at some point stuck in her whole forearm in my vagina. Once finished I guess she wanted to just be done and she stitched me up and I felt every single stitch she was putting in, screw numbing right? Anyway if you've read this far thanks so much for reading this ridiculously long review but I really wanna warn as many women as I can, pleaseee avoid seeing this doctor. Her doctors license and credentials should be revoked. I've never been treated this way by a doctor EVER! I'm afraid to even have more children because of how bad this birthing experience was with her. I never wanna go through this ever again.

The rates are reasonable, especially when you lose your insurance and are paying out of pocket. If you are making a co-pay, it could average $20-$30 depending on your policy. The space is an old house that has been an office for probably 40 years. It really should not be an office. There isn't any privacy when you speak to the office staff. The waiting room fits about 10 patients. Additional seats are placed outside for "overflow" but the weather isn't always pleasant for sitting outside. Not all patients follow the instructions not to use a cellphone while in the office. I have watched up to three patients having loud conversations in the waiting area. The office staff are "hit or miss." They were extremely kind to me when I was dealing with my father's death and not able to fully concentrate on anything they said. The staffers will also fax prescriptions to the pharmacy of my choosing. I have also had experiences where the staffers were abrupt when it wasn't necessary. There isn't any pattern to how you will be treated on a visit. My feeling is if you are consistently kind, you never need to worry how to treat a patient. Parking is limited at the office but if you drive around the corner, you can safely park in the neighborhood. Takoma Metro is approx a mile away and there is a bus stop half a block from this location. Dr. Kango cares about her patients and is the reason I keep returning. An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but she is worth seeing.

If you authorize a test or two, make sure you ask what EXACTLY that entails, how many tests, and how much each test costs. Don't you let anyone rush you! I went for something simple and routine that, in hindsight, I could've treated over-the-counter, but because I was there anyway- got a pap and thought, sure...why not? Authorized 2 tests, one for cancer screening.... and thought I was done. Well- no. A week later I got a super ambiguous bill from NJ with- not just 2 tests that I authorized, but 6 tests total. This bill didn't tell me what the tests were... After calling the office twice and the lab, I found out one test actually meant two would be performed, with two charges. The other test actually meant four. So six expensive tests I didn't know I was authorizing! The lab also doesn't give you a full month to pay for them, either. The lady I spoke to at the lab was pretty sympathetic, saying "Yeah, they never go into this stuff with you when you're there." So it sounds like people have complained before. Hey- this was stressful! Not to mention, pretty unnecessary. Because I felt rushed and because of this lapse in communication, meh! I'm from California, and- damn ladies. Where are you supposed to go? This is a major metropolitan area. Where are the Planned Parenthoods here? I sincerely hope this review will give someone else a heads up.

If you have any sort of testing done there, do not expect to find out your results unless you call them frequently. They are very inconvenienced when you try to get those answers, so beware.
