I'm surprised to see any negative reviews for this practice, because my experience over the last 7 years has all been fantastic. They have a policy that allows you to get an appointment within 24 hours for an urgent issue (a policy many physicians' offices do not have), and the doctors are personable, smart, helpful and professional. They have a LabCorp in their office, which is very convenient. Dr. Sexton is my primary physician and I ADORE her, but I've also seen Drs. Kong and Stanford for urgent issues. I had one long-running health issue that had me in the office every other month for a year, and they kept up to date on what was going on with me. Every appointment, Dr. Sexton remembered exactly what we'd discussed in the prior visit. I also really like that they handle women's health issues, which cuts down on my need for specialists (something I greatly prefer - it's much better to have one physician seeing the whole picture than a bunch of different ones). I VERY highly recommend this practice, and especially Dr. Sexton. read more

I have been visiting this practice for almost 10 years. Dr. Sexton is simply the BEST. Today, I saw PA, Allison Broadband and she completely wowed me! Made me feel super comfortable to discuss my issues and brought GREAT energy into the room. Highly recommend these two ladies at this practice. Both wonderful! read more

I went for a yearly physical exam. The doctor ordered some lab tests that, she said, were covered by my insurance. Just routine. However, a month later I received a bill for almost $600!!!. Now, the business manager claims otherwise-- that they do not have any way to know what tests will be covered by your insurance and how much you will have to pay. They tell you to talk to LabCorp, their partners who will do the test on location. LabCorp claims that they just simply do the tests prescribed by the doctor. If you look up online, you will see that a class-action lawsuit claims LabCorp overcharges for tests. You see the dynamics, right? No one is responsible for a hefty bill except yourself at the end of the day. STAY AWAY! read more

I've been taking my kids here for about 5 years now. Dr. Stanford is our primary physician but we have met with several of the other doctors as well and all have been excellent. The practice is accommodating when we have an emergency need and always receptive to questions. read more

I really like the doctors, nurses and entire staff here. They are thorough, kind and compassionate. My entire family has been going here for about 10 years. I trust them 100 percent. read more

Very good doctors, particularly Dr Stanford. The back office staff is pretty lumbering and slow. The Lab Corp people they have are possibly the rudest and least professional medical people I've ever encountered. read more

I went to Premier Primary Care on the recommendation of a colleague. I was absolutely horrified with my visit. First, the nurse dropped the thing you use to measure height on my head and then took 3 tries to get my blood pressure. I mean, whatever, things happen, but it hurt. I saw Dr. Park and she was terse to the point of being mean. I came in for a basic physical and marked off various issues I'd been having on their new patient forms. After being told that she didn't have time to address one of them, she started out mean and ended dismissive to the point of being rude. I don't know if it was just because I'm fat (and therefore lazy, incapable of rational thought and good nutrition in most doctors' eyes), or if that's how she always is, but it was unacceptable. Like previous posters, it took about a month for me to get a physical, but that seems to be standard these days. They also didn't send me my lab results, just a sheet of paper with 'normal' checked off, but they did send me a copy of my Lab Corp results when I called and asked. read more

I think people need to know what a terrible practice this is. I moved to the Arlington area a year ago with a newborn baby and this was the only place that was accepting new patients at the time. That made me happy however, little did I know what I would be getting into. 1) The receptionists obviously don't know the difference between Family Medicine doctor and a Pediatrician. I was given Dr. Everrett (great doctor) but she wasn't a pediatrician. I would call multiple times asking for a pediatrician and they would always give me a FM doctor. I had to do my research and find out that Dr. Stanford was the pediatrician in the practice. 2) They messed up my insurance information at least 3 times. I would get bills in the mail for almost $1,000 for baby vaccines, where I had to call my insurance provider and their billing staff and literally argue with them about how that was incorrect. It was always Premier Primary Care's mistake. 3) During one of the visits, we were taken to one of the rooms and the nurses weighed the baby, checked temperature etc. They asked me to remove her clothes and that the doctor would come in shortly. 45 minutes later... the doctor came in. Apparently there was some sort of issue with another patient, but I didn't get any updates on the situation. If a nurse could have let me know that would have been better, but no. I had to take time off work to go, I almost left. Unacceptable. 4) My baby got really sick about a month ago with 104 fever. I called the practice to see if Dr. Stanford could see her, but they said no walk-ins. I asked the receptionist if I should try to go to the practice and see if they would see me, and she said it was worth a shot. When I got there, with a highly febril baby, they sent me away. I literally begged. To me that is unacceptable. I would have waited if they could have just squeezed me in quickly with any other doctor. But they didn't even offer me a solution to my problem. I ended up taking her to the ER. In my mind, when it comes to children you have to have walk-ins. 5) After the E.R. visit, they asked us to do follow up blood work a few days later. My husband took the baby to see Dr. Stanford and get her blood work. In the labs, they were really rough with the baby, and had a hard time drawing her blood. A few days later they sent us a message saying that they didn't get enough blood to get a result so were would have to do it again. We decided to take her to Georgetown, and there they did is easily and said that for that kind of test you don't need to get a lot of blood. Another mistake by Premier Primary Care. My husband is a doctor, so when the nurses at Georgetown told him this he was furious at Premier Primary Care for messing up the labs. 6) I don't like it when the receptionist/staff calls me "Honey". She doesn't use it in a sweet way. It's condescending and disrespectful. She has done it over the phone and via messages. Please don't waste your time going there. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kong's for years. She is by far, the best doctor I've have been to. She has shown me compassion and understanding. She listens and she cares. I have never been rushed through an appointment. She takes time to answer any questions. I will continue to see her for as long as I can. read more

Run Away! If Dr Park was a vet I won't let her consult on my dog's health. I've been to this practice a few times and never with a good results. All the negatives your reading in other reviews are accurate. Consistently cold, rude and not helpful for the medical issues I needed to address. read more

This place has the worst cadre of doctors I've ever experienced. They treat patients like business transactions, not human beings. They have only prescribed me drugs for every problem I have. They do not even consider alternatives to prescription drugs. I saw Dr. Hey Jin Kong and I strongly believe she does not care about people. She's very arrogant and does not seem concerned at making me better, only keeping me sick so I will keep returning. I even spoke with the Office Manager to express my disappointment in Dr. Hey Jin Kong, and how she rushes me out the door and tells me I have to return to get more time, which means I will have an additional visit and copay. The Office Manager was unwilling to provide a resolution. I highly recommend you DO NOT come to this practice. read more

I've been going to urgent care for all major issues, broken bones, flu, etc. However, I've been having health issues that I decided I want to figure out what the heck is wrong with me and wanted to make an appointment with a doctor. Granted, it's really difficult to find a "good" doctor so I just made an appointment with Premier Primary Care Physicians because I went here once 2 years ago for a physical. And although I didn't have a very good experience the first time, finding a new doctor is difficult and I don't go to the doctor unless my bone is broken or I'm dying, so I decided to give them another try... I called the office, explained that I have been suffering from certain symptoms and that I wanted to speak with a doctor. They were able to schedule an appointment for the following day. Great. During my visit the physician assistant/nurse, or who every she is that takes your vitals, was very nice. I wanted to make note of that. I told her quickly why I was there and after taking my weight, temperature, blood pressure, etc. she said the doctor will be in shortly and said if I needed absolutely anything don't hesitate to come get her. Very kind. I saw Dr. Everett and she really listened, with concern, to my problems. She didn't make me feel bad, because of course I wasn't dying or bleeding, but the quality of my life has declined because of these symptoms. She and I both tried to figure out what could be wrong and she scheduled some tests to be done. She explained why she choose those tests and what the next steps would be and that she'll try to work with me and help me figure out what's wrong. I felt like she took enough time with me and was not dismissive. That was exceptionally refreshing and I am so happy I met Dr. Everett. She listens and of course doctors don't immediately know what's wrong with you, but I am very happy with my first visit with Dr. Everett. I'll try to remember to update my office visits because I can foresee many more in the future. I also want to make note, the wait for my scheduled appointment wasn't very long. I was 10 minutes early and was seen fairly quickly after my schedule appointment time. However, after my visit with the doctor I had to go back in the waiting room for someone else to get lab/blood work drawn. I waited literally an hour and thought they forgot about me so I went up and asked wtf. Apparently the lab person didn't have my papers, I guess they were misplaced, so I was waiting for nothing. Thanks a lot...so another 15 minutes or so I was seen. Please be more organized in the future. Also, parking is not free. Oh and also to point out, the walls are thin and I overheard people/doctors talking while I was in the exam room waiting for the doctor. Might be a violation of patient privacy but....meh. Also, I find it ironic how my last review mentioned I suffered headaches about 4 times a week and was quickly dismissed by another doctor (who is still working here by the way). Two years later still suffering in lieu of other issues. Wish the doctor wasn't so dismissive in the first place so I wouldn't have to suffer in silence. read more

Hmm - I've only been once. I was put on blood pressure meds, anxiety meds, and an anti-depressant. does that make sense? I'll update after my second visit. read more

TERRIBLE. I found Dr. Susan Park because my health care needs are relatively minor and she was close to my apartment and she took my insurance. I need to see a doctor once a year for a general female check-up. Dr. Park seemed like the right choice because she is a general practicioner so I could see her for my lady visit as well as the occassional flu or sports injury visit. I have only been to see her 3 times and will never go back. I have never EVER been treated as rudely by any other physician in my life. She rolled her eyes and looked visibly annoyed at my not knowing every detail of my medical history by heart (honestly - who knows the shots they received when they were under 18 ?), she basically scolded me for my use of birth control while not in a serious relationship. I asked for something to help me sleep on my first trip to China (13 hour flight) and she made me feel like a criminal for asking. It is nerve-wracking enough to visit a doctor and to discuss personal health issues. Dr. park makes this even worse by providing the rudest, most disrespectful and condescending service around. I am shocked she still has clients. I have written a nasty letter and am now shopping around for a new doctor. read more

Worst place I have ever been to worst medical service Dr. Julia Stanford worst office staff worst everything You can imagine I give them -1,000,000 stars. The staff Is nothing short of.... I can't put the words on paper... How could this place stay open talk of these doctors give medical care standup These doctors And their staff should go right to hell. I have been in contact with several people who have nearly died under their care and under their staffs Uncaring unfeeling etc. etc. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this. read more

I was very skeptical of going to see a Dr. here due to reviews, but needed to get some blood work done and I don't have a PCP yet. I also have not been for a physical in years, so I was prepared to get a lecture. I saw Dr. Stanford and this was the best Dr. experience I have ever had! She was very personable and I felt very comfortable asking questions. I didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Stanford and she spent about 35 minutes with me going over my health and concerns. I would definitely recommend Dr. Stanford. I do not know anything about any of the other doctors here. Parking was $2.50 read more

It's very easy to get a same day appointment. But that doesn't help if the physician is not willing to take your concerns seriously and provide attentive and thorough care. I had been experiencing swelling, muscle tension and discomfort in my neck for several weeks and I had become concerned enough to call for an appointment. Having had mono before I wanted to make sure it was not a recurrence. I saw Dr. Sexton late in the afternoon and I can only assume that she had a dinner reservation to get to because after waiting fifteen minutes in the waiting room and twenty minutes in the exam room, she rushed in and gave me the roughest, most perfunctory examination I've ever had. She snapped at me to "Stop tensing my neck muscles", which I was not doing intentionally. I described the discomfort and swelling which seemed to come and go, and her response was that if it comes and goes it's probably not serious. Her overall tone seemed to indicate that I was being ridiculous and overreacting, and possibly that I was a hypochondriac. Apparently to appease me she said she would do a blood count, but made it clear that she would NOT request a mono test (WHY??? It wouldn't hurt to be sure). I left in tears because I felt that my concerns were not addressed and I had no answers about what was causing my very real physical discomfort. A week later I went to a second doctor who immediately found that I was having muscle spasms in my neck and who also identified a swollen lymph node. I am going for follow up tests soon. read more

Dr. Sexton is smart, thorough, personable and knowledgeable. I feel comfortable sharing my health concerns with her.

I have been seeing Dr. Park at this practice on and off. While I was not completely happy with her bedside manner and how rushed she felt every time during my office visits, I still continued to see her as the location was convenient. Last week, I called in the doctor's office at 8 am in the morning as I was experiencing terrible stomach ache, headaches, nausea and had high fever. Receptionist told me Dr. Park was busy but I could see Dr. Stanford because I was sick and I needed immediate attention. I could hardly drive to the office and when I opened the reception door I was almost in tears from pain. My appointment was at 9:45 and I was in the office at 9:50. There were four people ahead of me to sign in including a man who was filling out application right at the reception desk so it took around 5 minutes for me to sign in. I finally signed in at 9:55 exactly and told the receptionist that I was only 5 minutes late. She said their grace period was 10 minutes and she would let Dr. Stanford know I was there. All that time, I am sitting there almost crying and crunching from pain, I really was in a bad shape! So, in 5 minutes, receptionist comes back and says Dr. Stanford cant see me because I was late and because her 10:00 am appointment was there. I burst into tears from pain and agony. After few minutes of talking, she called for an office manager who came out and with a cold face announced that I had to reschedule because doctor could not fit me in. I was devastated, I drove from DC with the hope to get some help as I was in an excruciating pain and they could see that! I asked if they realized that if I left their office, I had to go directly to ER and they just said: FINE, GO to ER. I was so devastated by the terrible attitude, coldness and unprofessionalism of all these people. I went directly to ER and then found another doctor but just wanted to tell this story so people know what they are getting into!!! I would avoid that practice as much as I can if I were you for your own benefit later!!! read more

I used to go here when Dr. Gorrelick was part of their practice - and I only stayed as long as I did because of her - she's wonderful. The office staff/front desk reception is NOT friendly. It's great that they give same day appointments.... but I have waited 45 minutes before for a well exam. I would say that the PA Nicole Sibley is excellent. Overall, I'd recommend Dr. Jennifer Gorrelick @ her new pracitce. read more

I went here back in 2007 and saw Dr. Sexton. She was great... very nice and comforting. A few days ago I decided to get back up on my annual exams and made an appointment with Dr. Kong because Sexton wasn't available for a while. Dr. Kong was really nice and willing to explain things. I will say that she was kind of rough with the exam, but it's whatever. I would definitely go see her again. read more

Dr Stanford is the best and as a single woman I feel very comfortable with her assessments and recommendations. She is thoughtful and even though I moved out of Arlington I still travel back to see her. I also love Celia in the front/back office she knows me by name and always has a pleasant demeanor. This practice is professional and the Dr.s consult together on difficult issues which I appreciate and simple. The Lab office in the back is slow. read more

I've seen both Dr. Kong and Dr. Stanford and liked them both. I agree that Dr. Kong is missing a little bedside manner, but she's very smart and very helpful. She's been my primary Dr. there and I felt well taken care of. I've seen Dr. Stanford for sick visits and she does have a warmer, more caring affect. In general, I felt like this is a great place to go for general care and short term illness, but I didn't feel like my chronic health problems were helped much. My old doctor wanted to see me quite frequently to follow up and I felt that here I could avoid addressing them, which is not what I need. read more

Dr. Jenifer Gorrelick is the best doctor I have ever had. I have had a major cronic health condition for the last 15 years and have seen more doctors than any one person should ever have to experience. She is the first primary care doctor that actually understands my complicated disease, knows the medication that I am on and helps me to know what to expect in the future. She is caring, concerned and has helped me to navigate dealing with my brilliant but difficult specialist. I do not have any family in the area and feel so much more secure as my disease progresses knowing that I have Dr. Gorrelick on my side. I have never had any problems with this office. The first appointment does take a while to get in, but after that you can often be seen the same day if you are sick. As someone who knows doctors, I highly reccommend her. read more

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Park and let's just say it was far from pleasant. She rushed into the waiting room 20 minutes late, did not even knock on the door. She sat on her chair and asked questions while on her computer and did not look at me once in the face. She made smirks and sarcastic remarks. She by far has the worst bedside manners I've ever experienced with any doctor. I do not recommend Dr. Park to any new patient attending this medical office. I will never see her again! read more

I've been going to this place for about a year and half. I've only gone when I'm sick, not for regular checkups or anything. I couldn't imagine actually building some kind of patient-doctore relationship at this place anyway. You're nothing but a chart and a co-pay at Premier Primary Care Physicians. Today I saw Dr. Park, or at least I think it was her... that's who I had appointment with anyway. Whoever came in to see me never introduced herself. She asked my symptoms and before I could even complete my sentence cut me off asking if I had been taking anything, and again cut me off asking how long I've been dealing with the symptoms. In all of three minuets (I'm not kidding) she diagnosed me and said I just needed to get over the counter medicine. Never asked if I had any further questions or anything else I wanted to address and walked out of the room. I read reviews on here sometimes and think to myself, "wow these people must be exaggerating because no one in their right mind would do that..." I assure you there is no exaggeration here. I actually kind of stood in the exam room for a second, thinking did that just happen?! I typically see Dr. Kong and have always thought she didn't have the best bed side manor, but this Dr. Park took it to a whole knew level. I've stayed with them because it's kind of hassle to switch, but today was the end of the line for me. I will be shopping around for a new PCP. If you're looking for a doctor who cares about your overall well being and actually treats you like a human being I would recommend not going here. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Schwartz for several years. I was referred by a friend. My disappointment with Dr. Schwartz is that she comes into the examination room with her laptop and never really looks at the patient. She's so intent on checking my records on the computer during my app't time that I want to wave and say, "I'm over here!" Dr. Schwartz has a curt and abrupt manner of speaking and at times doesn't seem to be engaged at all with her patient. I've been told that if I have more than one complaint, I must make a separate app't for each complaint. Perhaps this is the protocol of the entire office or the dictates of the insurance company. The staff at this office has always been pleasant and professional, and I've always been able to get an app't relatively quickly. BTW, Dr. Schwartz only works 4 days/wk in the afternoons. You must pay for parking in the lot in front of the building. read more

I'm quite shocked to read some of the negative reviews that have been posted. While it can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment and the support staff are not always 5 star material, the doctors I have seen have seen at this practice are phenomenal. I've been seeing Dr. Gorrelick for more than 7 years and she is the best doctor I have ever been to. She takes a significant amount of time to listen to her patients and get a 360 view of their lives rather than simply looking in their ears and writing a prescription. Dr. G cares about her patients and has provided me with the best care possible. If I had to drive an hour to see her for an appointment I would do it. read more

I had been a patient here for four years and had a very bad experience recently. They adopted a new online system to help with scheduling. I am all for using technology to make life easier, so I used it to request an appointment on Tuesday. The system scheduled me and I accepted. I then recieved three different emails notifiying me of changes to my appointment. The last of which, I received at 1030am the day of the 130 appointment. I logging in and "checked into" my apointment, and even recieved an email at 1026 confriming that it was on. When I arrived, I was notified that my appointment had been cancled and that the office was unable to see me. Even though a slew of patients contiued to be ushered past. After explaining that I only really needed to get a signature for a prescription refill, the office manager still denied to see me. I might be off, but from a patient's standpoint it was very much as if I had made a reservation at a restraturant; had it changed on me three times; confirmed it the day of; showed up to be told that you no longer had a table for me even though you were seating others; and was then even denied the slightest option of a take out menu. Please honestly ask yourself, would ever go back to that restaurant again? Im not, and I suggest you don't either. read more

I've been going to Premier Primary Care off and on for 10 years. The only reason I have been off is because my insurance changed and I cannot see them any longer. They have 4 tech savvy female doctors. I've seen each of them over the years. They have always been very thorough and spend the time required. They make appropriate recommendations. I have not ever had an issue getting an appointment. In fact, I switched to another gyno due to insurance, and could only get appointments 6 weeks out, so I paid out of pocket to go to Premier and get an appointment within a few days. I'm dissapointed to see that some others have had negative experiences with a gyno that I have enjoyed for so many years. Pretty much all of my friends that live in Arlington also go to Premier Primary Care as well. read more

I have had some poor experiences with Premier Primary Care Physicians. The physicians seem to rush you and talk down to you instead of keeping an open dialogue and taking into consideration your health concerns. In one instance a Physician's Assistant violated my privacy by speaking to me about my health issue in the public waiting area instead of behind closed doors. In another instance, they lost my sample and never sent it into the lab for testing. It wasn't until I called to check up on the results that I was notified it had been lost. I also had a negative experience with one of the doctors there who was rude to me and reprimanded me for calling her emergency cell after hours although I was told that I could call this number by the hospital operator. read more

Sibley is the best. So nice and empathetic, she never make you feel as though you are wasting her time or she needs to rush out. Stanford is also wonderful, she sees my child and is conservative which I can appreciate with the unknowns of homeopathy that people always recommend to me. I also can also almost always get appointment within 24 hours if not that day for when I am sick or coming down with a virus someone shared with me from work. read more

I have been to this office for about 3 years now and primarily had Dr Sexton my PCP, based on a recommendation from a friend. But, some of these reviews are right, she can be extremely rushed and its very difficult to get an appointment with her. So for routine check-ups and urgent issues I have been seeing other doctors after the first couple of times. The overall service is average - nothing great and nothing absolutely horrible. One thing I would mention on the -ve side is that there is a reason why I choose female physicians for my annuals. I don't want a male doctor doing my female tests. Dr Sexton came in with her intern (who btw spent more time asking me questions, etc compared to her) to do the test. Before asking me, she started doing the exams and half way through it she asked me if it was okay for the male intern to remain in the room - wth!? At that point I was uncomfortable enough to not say anything. I didn't really appreciate it. The doctors here are not that friendly either. read more

I have been a patient at Premier Primary Care for several years. Dr. Sexton has been my doctor. In March of this year, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes; I was almost in a coma-like state when I visited the doctor's office. Quick action my Dr. Sexton saved my life. I would recommend this practice to anyone who needs a doctor who really cares about her patients. read more

I love this practice. It's an all-female practice, and I've only had positive experiences here since I first came about 5 years ago. I used to see Dr. Gorrelick, but since she moved on to have her own practice, I switched to Dr. Sexton. Both of them are great. One of the best things about this place is that I can always get an emergency appointment for the next morning...and I've had to do that a couple of times. They leave a couple of slots open for that specific reason. In terms of general scheduling, they first offered me a slot in 4 weeks. When I told them that that would be hard with my travel schedule, they found me a slot in 2.5 weeks. Everyone there is really friendly (I can hardly believe it! that definitely wasn't the case when I used to go to Kaiser Permanente) and extremely responsive. They have filled out complicated paperwork for me very quickly (for a $20 fee, if it's standard paperwork like mine was). They also call the day before to remind you of your appointment. The woman who does the blood work is REALLY good. Highly recommended! read more

I've been coming to Premier Primary Care Physicians since 2013 when I moved to the Arlington Ballston area. Dr. Stanford is my primary care physician although I have seen Dr. Benchoff and Nicole Sibley the Physician Assistant (once for emergencies). I called to make an appointment for a Pre-Op surgery visit and I asked the receptionist when was the last time I had my physical and she told me it had been a little over a year so I told her I need a pre-op and physical. I made my appointment for 11am. I arrive for my appointment on time and check-in. I am called 15 minutes later by the nurse and I tell her why I'm there for physical and pre-op ( I give her pre-op papers). Shortly after Dr. Stanford comes in acting like she has never seen me before then she tells me I can't get both the pre-op and physical although I made my appointment for both! She was very dismissive and rude! I have a cold and she did check me for that. I have seen her at least 4 times for physicals and a pre travel visit ( I travel internationally a lot and sometimes require vaccines and meds) and have never seen her act like that! After this visit I will never go to her again. I have to take time off work for these visits and even if there was a mistake when the appointment was made she should not have responded like that. My time is valuable just like hers is! read more

Dr. Park has been our family physician for years. We literally love this woman. My children are 5, 4 and 2 and every time we visit she asks about their lives and makes them feel comfortable before the exam starts. Both of my daughters continually state that when they grow up they want to be a doctor, just like Dr. Park. They actually ASK to go to the doctor, for me this is huge. Besides having a wonderful bedside manner, she also has helped with numerous health problems - mainly my middle daugther's asthma and allergies (both with diagnosis and helping us find good specialists). Usually I'd give the practice five stars but as I've just been informed that Dr. Park is leaving I'm unsure how to rate the office. The loss of Dr. Park is surely a hit for the entire practice, she is by far the most kind and intelligent doctor I've ever had. And we will miss her very much. (And regarding earlier reviews, that honestly sort of sickened me, I've never seen her "smirk" or make "sarcastic remarks" ever. That's just ridiculous and absurd. Maybe you just misread her or assume the worst in people. read more

I've had good experiences with PPCP, including same-day consultations for urgent matters and reasonable scheduling for general stuff. They have an on-site lab tech, and I've had no problems with insurance billings or cooperation with pharmacies for refills. The practice is on the "no frills" side, and they appear to see a high volume of families with kids and (probably government) retirees. The less-than-accommodating and sometimes slow response of the support staff and techs is probably a reflection of this. Nonetheless, of the two practitioners I've seen there, I've been very satisfied with diagnosis, follow-up, and overall quality of care. I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't need Cadillac-grade options for their solid healthcare. read more

I have been going to see Dr. Stanford for over two years now. I have been to this office two times, but never for a sick visit. They do have longing wait times, but I have been taken back within 15 minutes of my scheduled time, even with a room full of sick people. I think many of the reviewers don't realize they have an open policy for sick visits for the same or next day, so you get seen when when you can. Anyway, I've always felt like I have been seen for an appropriate amount of time. Almost every doctor I've been to you have to sit in the patient room for at least 15 minutes. I haven't been rushed through my appointments. The last appointment was my physical to get a health insurance form filled out (yay, deductible discount!). Anyway, once Dr. Stanford and I chatted, she said that because I didn't have any medical issues, I didn't need to get my bloodwork redone, so she would sign the form and I'd be on my way. So if they were only about money, I'm sure that wouldn't have happened. Can't say anything about sick visits or other doctors. Parking you do have to pay, but it's a couple bucks. Not that unusual in Arlington, for example, every OB/GYN visit I had at Virginia Hospital Center on George Mason you had to pay as well. read more

I am very disappointed that the office is not taking new patients when a couple of websites state that they are. I am fairly new patient of Dr. W Swartz and I think she is great. She is personable and doesn't make you feel rushed. My daughter is looking for a doctor and I recommend that she use this office. Not only is it very welcoming but even the technician at Lab Corp is friendly. The nurse technician that takes your blood never leaves a bruise and you will never feel the needle. Again I am disappointed in the office and the advertisements not agreeing. It took me 10 years to find a great doctor and I would have loved for my daughter to be able to have the same experience I have had. Please make sure all your information is updated. I am sure I am not the only one looking for a good doctor to take on new patients. Michaelina read more
