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.

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.

Very friendly and professional. Office wait times can be a bit long but overall I'm happy to call her my endocrinologist.

There is something all prospective patients should know about this doctor before initiating contact…read morewith her office. She is very selective, and only accepts a limited number of people as patients. Although I was told she was seeing new patients, this is not completely true. A more accurate response would be, "she is accepting applications for appointments." You may have insurance, a referral, a diagnosis, plus pages of medical documents. It doesn't matter. Providing all of this information does not guarantee an appointment. The doctor will review your paperwork, and then maybe her office will call you back to let you know whether you can be seen. Or maybe not. Maybe you will have to call them. Bottom line: If you don't have time to play games, and prefer to be welcomed as a person rather than evaluated as a case, then look elsewhere for a physician. You will save yourself a lot of trouble.

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. Thank you Diane and thank you Dr. Thomas for your mini electrocution.

I had been going to Dr. Brooks for several years now and have watched his practice and his attitude…read moretoward patients get worse each year his practice grew. If you want a doctor and health care provider that makes you feel like he truly cares, listens and respects you and your family needs, this Assembly Line Health Care Provider IS NOT the place to put your trust. When I took the time to address my concerns with Dr. Brooks and his Office Manager, their response was unapologetic and rude. There is NO customer service what so ever at this office. Almost a cocky/entitled feeling from Dr. Brooks and his office staff...and a "cocky doctor" is the last person I want practicing medicine on me and my family. Dr. Brooks and Calvert Family Practice are just too busy these days "herding" patients in and out.... to make the right call on your health care these days. Stay far away from this Health Care Provider. YIKES !!!!

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.

Absolutely unacceptable experience with this ENT practice. They dropped my son as a patient because…read morewe have CHAMPVA insurance--even though they accept Tricare and Medicare, which CHAMPVA shares as its provider list. There was no transparency about this upfront and no effort to work through the issue. What made this especially concerning was the timing. This happened after my son had already undergone surgery and before a routine follow-up appointment. We were left scrambling to find another provider on short notice and ultimately had to drive two hours to ensure he received necessary care. CHAMPVA is a straightforward insurer and provides coverage for families of disabled veterans. Based on our experience, it appeared that we were dropped due to reimbursement concerns rather than any issue with coverage itself. Discontinuing care for a child in the middle of treatment under these circumstances felt extremely unprofessional and concerning. This situation created unnecessary stress during a time when continuity of care is critical. I would strongly encourage others to find a more reliable provider before establishing care with this practice.

It's been 3 weeks and they have given every excuse under the sun as to why the person scheduling surgeries is not available to call me. She has a family emergency for 2 weeks now she's off on Fridays after they promised she would call Thursday. This is so unprofessional and I will go to Annapolis next time. The stress of waiting if just too much and don't expect any compassion from the staff when you try to explain why your upset no one is calling you to schedule anything. They don't wNt to hear it and don't care if your suffering.

This is warehouse medicine at its best. If you want in-and-out routine care, this is the practice…read morefor you. If you want personalized, actual care, I suggest you look elsewhere. CalvertHealth Primary Care is more concerned about the bottom line than actually helping their patients; they want to get you in and out and move on to the next patient. If helping the patient is time consuming or costly or not necessarily routine, then this practice does not want to help you. Go elsewhere if you want someone to listen to you and actually think about proper treatment and actually spend the time to make sure you are in the best of health. If you want a practice that will consult with and listen to experts in specific fields, then find another practice. I am searching for something positive that I can say about this practice .... I've never waited too long; with most of my appointments they've kept me waiting less than 15 minutes before bringing me back to a waiting room.

They billed my insurance r for service provided by Monica Bhargesh. Who the he'll is Monica!? I never saw anyone named Monica. The physician I saw was METHA!

Absolutely NOT! AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE…read more In short, this guy is a QUACK. Sadly it took me several years before I found out. His office had me convinced I had cancer; when there was nothing wrong with me. In this day and age it is just not worth it, this is a sensitive subject you want a good doctor not a bad one. Don't waste your time, money, energy. Details if you want them, In 2004...I had been a patient for 3 years prior. After 1 questionable test result the Dr. disregarded facts about me and my history; predetermined the out come based on regional statistics (one of those facts he disregarded is that I lived in the region on paper only). He preformed one procedure and wanted to perform several more evasive procedures because "insurance allows it and it can't hurt" - his words not mine. When I questioned the course of action he was prescribing he responded with by trying to manipulate me into doing what he thought was best included making out of line character references and judgments about my family. IN tears he left me then came back and handed me a tissue and told me he only wanted "the best for" me. With in a month of this last meeting with Dr Strider I had 4 different & costly professional opinions which did not include evasive surgery like the kind Dr Strider had been pushing for and as it turned out there was nothing wrong with me. NOTHING. It has been 5 years and there is nothing wrong with me.
