Smh Pros: The check-in staff and doctor was nice. Cons: Dr. Williams checked my throat and decided in 5 minutes that my extreme breathing attacks could be cured with Pepcid AC. I had a ton of questions and he said he would be back with my prescription. He sent in an office staff who couldn't answer questions about frequency, when to end the medication, how it might negatively interact with the multiple medications just to name a few. I kept asking the medical assistant to speak with the doctor and he kept saying no and giving a ton of excuses on why not. Instead he insisted on trying to answer medical questions, many of which didn't make much sense. Pretty sure it's ILLEGAL for anyone outside of the doctor to give medical advice. I called the office 3x and left messages for Dr. Williams to call me back since he couldn't spare time to answer my questions...he never called back. I had a really bad allergic reaction and didn't even get a call back when my message informed him. I don't care how great the staff is, if the doctor won't answer my questions and give me the care I need, I will not be going back and recommend you go elsewhere.

His main goal is making you feel better and you can tell he is a very smart doctor. I enjoyed his emails about suggestions to improve my symptoms and things that I can do for my symptoms. He does do everything himself form office staff, to doctor etc so he is a very busy guy. I would highly recommend him!

Saw Dr Kass for a sinus infection and he gave me a prescription and when I returned for a follow up…read moretold me I should have surgery to reduce the turbinates in my nose and would help with better breathing and less infection. He quoted a price of $2,500. And said I had satisfied my deductible so it would not cost me. He did the surgery and was paid by insurance, later when viewing my EOB's noticed he had billed my insurance company several times for the same surgery and actually collected over 10k. I reported him to the insurance company for fraud and never heard back from the insurance co. In addition I have had multiple nose bleeds as he láseres them and did not cauterized properly. This man should lose his license to practice medicine he's a thief and not a good doctor. He has no one that works in his office he does all his own billing so there's nobody to blame any of this on but himself obvious reasons he's done that so that he could keep his dishonesty and cheating of insurance companies under wraps.

Was everything good? Was anything bad? I'll never know, because he just walked out. On top of that, a few days later I noticed he upcoded my insurer and billed them for a 45+ minute new patient visit. 45 [PLUS!] minutes for a 3 or 4 minute "exam." Terrible experience. I will not be returning to Jefferson Health in any capacity after my experience with Mr. Fitzgerald.

Dr. Fitzgerald tends to diagnose a great majority of his patients (if not all of them) with PLF -…read moreperilymphatic fistula. PLFs are extremely uncommon, and yet somehow every person who comes into his office with the slightest irregularity gets slapped with that diagnosis. Surprise, surprise -- many of his tests are not covered by insurance. Surprise, surprise -- PLFs require surgery. It's a scam. There were two glaring red flags with Dr. Fitzgerald: First, he pushed hard for the surgery, going so far as to say that I was "crazy" if I were to opt against it. I didn't have the surgery, however, because none of the tests indicated it. Among the battery of inner ear tests I had, most were negative, one showed that there was a problem (but it wasn't conclusive at all about what the cause was and in no way related to a PLF), and the one test that would have suggested -- but not conclusively identified -- a PLF was also negative. Still, Dr. Fitzgerald pushed hard for the surgery. That seemed odd to me. Second, when I later got a copy of my medical reports from Dr. Fitzgerald to give to another doctor there was NO MENTION of a possible PLF or Dr. Fitzgerald's strong insistence that I have surgery. NO MENTION of even a possibility of a PLF. There was NO MENTION that we even discussed a PLF. If that's the case, how would I even know about perilymphatic fistulas? I am not a doctor, and when I brought up PLFs to my doctor friends, they, too, had never heard of them. In the event that someone is confused as to why a doctor would not put his recommendation and his diagnosis in his notes, it's because Dr. Fitzgerald was covering his ass. Should he ever be reviewed by the Medical Board (which he wont, as the Medical Board in DC is inept), it would be damning if a disproportionate number of patients were diagnosed with the same problem and were recommended to have the same surgery. So, by not referring to his insistent recommendation that I have surgery and not mentioning that we even discussed the surgery or that diagnosis, he evades detection should he ever be reviewed. There is a word for that: UNETHICAL. Yes, Dr. Fitzgerald is an unethical doctor. Do not go to him. If anyone goes to him and he diagnoses that individual with a PLF, it should come as no surprise. Had Dr. Fitzgerald at least written that PLF was a possibility or that surgery was an option, I would merely think Dr. Fitzgerald was a bad doctor. But he's worse: Dr. Fitzgerald is not only bad, he's also unethically cutting into people, recommending them for surgeries that they probably don't need, and when they show any semblance -- such as I did -- about not being on board with his recommendation, he does not document his "professional" medical opinion. In fact, after pounding into me that surgery was my only viable option, he merely wrote in his notes that I was a candidate for "vestibular rehabilitation" -- a much more conversative treatment approach, something that should have been suggested before surgery was even mentioned, and something we had never, ever discussed. Not surprisingly, every single patient in the waiting room had been diagnosed with a PLF. Unless people are traveling to Dr. Fitzgerald from the world over, that in itself is highly suspicious. Unless PLF is the most underdiagnosed medical problem in the otolaryngological world -- it isn't -- there shouldn't be dozens of people getting this unusual surgery at any given time. As a bookend to my experience -- which punctuated my already formed opinion even further - one of the movers who loaded my belongings when I moved out of town happened to mention out-of-the-blue about some vertigo issue he had. With no prompting from me, he mentioned that he had been to Dr. Fitzgerald at Washington Hospital, who, like me, had diagnosed him with a perilymphatic fistula. Imagine that?!!? What are the odds? Fortunately, he, too, did not opt for the surgery. Dennis Fitzgerald is an unethical and dishonest doctor. Don't go to him. And if you do, don't be surprised if you're diagnosed with a PLF. Don't say you weren't warned.

I saw such qualities throughout her questioning, examinations, analyses, and diagnosis. At the end of each visit, I always feel very comfortable, with the confidence that I am under the right doctor. I once had a severe rhinitis. Her treatment not only relieved my symptoms at the time but also remove the underlying causes--allergy. I used to be allergic to many environmental particles, from dust mites to different sorts of pollens, always being miserable throughout the year, especially bad in the spring. Under her care, my allergy is basically gone. I can now enjoy spring, walking, gardening, or even driving with windows down, something that I could never think of doing before. Dr Mikula's experience and knowledge is extensive, much beyond her own specialized field. On my first office visit, after a careful examination, she told me, besides rhinitis, I had a severe acid reflex that needed to be taken care of, since she saw the opening of my esophagus showed signs of damage. Then she told me in great details how to take care problems of acid reflex in daily life, how to use acid inhibitors correctly, what types of further examinations are available, et al. The information I got from her were more extensive and practically useful than I got from my other doctors specialized in internal medicine. Medstar Georgetown Hospital has a tradition over a hundred years in professional excellence and humanities. Such mind and spirit is alive in doctors of the hospital generation after generation. Dr Mikula is certainly a good example of them.

Up front, I will say that the dental hygienist, Lori does a great job. I would say that the two dentists are also good and caring. So why the terrible rating? First, expect to wait forever for your visit. They are never on time. I have had to wait upwards of an hour. The best option is to get in there for the first appointment and hope they show up on time. Second, you have to pay attention to the billing. They make mistakes all the time. I have had to call in and get corrections on several occasions. Third and final, they cancel appointments all the time. I have no clue what is going on with the office and the dentist but the constant rescheduling is terrible. I am currently is search of another dentist office as I can no longer deal with the mess. Which is sad, because as I said the doctors and hygienist are good people. But the office is clearly not well run.

It was great at first and having a naturopathic…read moredoctor really helped me with some medical issues that traditional doctors weren't able to address. Recently, I had a couple of visits and did some testing to address some health changes. After an initial visit ($400), testing ($300) and a one-hour follow-up ($300) one month later, I tried new medication and upon having a simple question about reformulating, I never heard back from my doctor (despite repeated emails and calls). She literally just never got back to me. The practice puts pressure to schedule a full, one-hour follow up (for $300) just to have simple questions answered about medicine they've prescribed - even though I had already paid for a follow-up just to receive the results of lab testing. I am not sure what is going on with this practice lately, but as a patient who has seen this doctor for years, feeling like you can't have some simple follow-up as a course of care is concerning - and feels unethical. The emphasis here is now on maximizing revenue and not patient care. I'll be looking for a new practice.
