After researching online, I came across Dr. Sarah Rose's name when I did an online search. I was pleasantly surprised how close this practice is to my office. It's a 10 minute walk or two minute drive. Also, the office is pretty fancy with their coffee, tea, hot chocolate machine. I had to ask for assistance. This is the second doctor's office that I've gone to that is this fancy. Dr. Rose was gentle, which I appreciated as I hate all wellness exams that require any physical contact or pressure. She was also kind, patient, and thorough in her response and explanations. I am so happy to have found Dr. Rose and this practice.

I've been a patient at this office for over 10 years & unfortunately, I'm officially done. I miss…read morethe days when it was a smaller, more personal practice & Dr. Gonzalez was still around. She truly cared--she followed up herself, worked tirelessly for her patients & even called to remind you about your annual appointments. That kind of genuine care is long gone. My experience over the last two years has been terrible. Since they expanded, it's like they completely forgot how to treat their patients. They don't remember anything from prior visits, there's barely any follow-through & everything feels rushed & impersonal. Now, they've added insult to injury by announcing that they're going to start charging patients for basic services--things we can't even do ourselves. Even something as simple as a prescription refill feels like you're bothering the nurse or PA. It's crystal clear: they don't care about patient well-being anymore, they just care about squeezing more money out of you. And to top it all off, they had the nerve to send out this email announcing the new fees--while shamelessly promoting their extra services at the bottom. As if we'd want to pay for even more after being told we'll now be charged for the basics. The lack of self-awareness is shocking. I even went back & removed the 5-star review I once left. This office is not what it used to be--it's become disorganized, disconnected & profit-driven. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone anymore.

I am incredibly disappointed and hurt by the lack of care and empathy at this office. I had an…read more11:00 AM appointment but got stuck in an hour of beltway traffic due to an accident. I called ahead and was told there was a 15-minute grace period. I walked in at 11:16 AM, and Dr. Parikh flat-out refused to see me, providing zero explanation or flexibility for being one minute late. As a first-time expectant mom, these appointments mean the world to me. To be turned away after an hour of stressful driving was heartbreaking, but the attitude of the staff made it worse. The receptionists were completely unsympathetic and acted like I was a bother. A little kindness or a simple smile would have gone a long way, especially since turning me away means waiting another three weeks for an appointment. I ultimately decided not to reschedule. This experience completely ruined my trust in this practice, and I will not be returning.

The level of care they are showing me today is 7 years too late. ========================== She performed surgeries on me twice. I was told everything went well, both times. However, findings from years later would say otherwise. I have records to back this up. Not to disclose the medical details, but here is a peak: During a scheduled office visit two weeks after the 2nd surgery, I shared with the office staff (maybe a nurse) the specific questions & findings I need to ask her that day after they checked in. I was told Dr. Danilyants will see me shortly after they took my blood pressure + heart rate. Then, 15 minutes later, that same staff/nurse came to tell me Dr.Danilyants CAN'T see me today. No calls or anything from her or her office EVER SINCE. That says a lot, ain't it?

Im getting ready for my third endometriosis surgery & I wanted to be thorough & hear from multiple surgeons. I know this may be people's only option given it's in network & that's hard to find but if you can, do not go here. I was shocked at how many red flags there were during my consultation & what a HUGE difference there was between her & the other surgeon. The biggest red flag: not only didn't she ask me to get an MRI before my appt so she could know what's going on inside me but she's not even equipped to read an MRI disc in the office, which means she only goes based on the report from the radiologist. HUGE PROBLEM! At this stage in Endo diagnosis & research, you should always have an MRI first & your surgeon should read it themselves, know what they are looking at themselves & make a plan for your surgery. She flat out admitted she wasn't going to have a plan, she'd just stick a scope in me & see what's in there. Other red flags: she dismissed several of my symptoms, saying I should just see a GI doc because Endo doesnt cause diarrhea & asked if I went on a specific diet for IC. She said Id be fine after a week, could go back to my job as a personal trainer!! & that there weren't any restrictions after surgery. And doesn't believe pelvic floor PT is necessary even when getting a hysterectomy. She flat out said there's nothing she can do to prevent more scar tissue during surgery. She pushes Orlissa as an alternative, which is a terrible drug! She didn't read a single page of my two folders of medical records they asked for & didn't even bring them into the appt with her. She asked me to list my symptoms vs the other surgeon who asked me about 40 very specific questions to understand exactly what he needed to know about my disease. She didn't do an exam on me. She ignored my shoulder pain & shortness of breath & didn't follow up to discuss diaphragmatic endo. When I asked about robotics during surgery she says she was trained before they were a thing so she doesn't use them. She was smug & dismissive, unqualified & ill informed & I am horrified that anyone who can't afford out of pocket costs has this as their option as a specialist. I'd say I was floored at how badly this appt went but then again those of us with endo are freaking used to this. I just can't believe this is what we get from a so called specialist after dealing with it from every other doctor!

I was a patient at Advantia OB-GYN Shady Grove throughout my pregnancy and delivered my baby this…read morepast July. Unfortunately, my experience at this clinic was consistently negative and created unnecessary stress during what should have been an exciting time. During my second appointment which was on a Friday at 3 p.m., I waited almost 50 minutes to see the doctor, who only spent a few minutes with me. When I went to get my blood drawn afterward, the lab technician told me they were closed -- even though it was only 3:55 p.m. and their hours are until 4 p.m. After I insisted that I needed the bloodwork done, she reluctantly agreed but was very rude about it. At my next appointment, which was also on a Friday at 3 p.m., I needed bloodwork again. This time, I told the tech taking my vitals if I could have my blood drawn before seeing the doctor. She assured me it would be fine to do it after. Once my appointment ended around 3:55 p.m., I went to the lab, where the same technician and her colleague refused to take my blood and said I could go to the hospital tomorrow to get it done. My husband had to step in and remind them that we both took off work for this appointment before they finally agreed to do it. Around my 25th week appointment, I mentioned to the covering doctor that I was experiencing pelvic pain and difficulty walking. Her response was, "It's only going to get worse, that's pregnancy." When I brought up that I had read about physical therapy, massage, or acupuncture helping, she agreed those were options but told me to "Google it" when I asked for recommendations. The lack of support and empathy was disappointing. Later in my pregnancy, the practice announced they were moving deliveries from Shady Grove to Holy Cross Silver Spring. I looked up reviews for the Silver Spring hospital and also discussed it with my doula, who shared that she had really negative experiences there. I reached out to the clinic to ask if I could deliver at Holy Cross Germantown instead and was told that was acceptable so I registered at Germantown. At my next appointment, I mentioned in passing to Dr. Prosper that I was registered at Germantown. She responded abruptly and told me I was "not allowed" to deliver there. When I explained my reasoning and mentioned that I had already paid for my doula, she was dismissive and unkind. That conversation was the final straw for me. I had already been uncomfortable with the practice but had to stay because I was so far along and couldn't find another provider. I went on to deliver at Holy Cross Germantown, where I had a wonderful experience with my doula and the hospital staff. Unfortunately, I experienced postpartum complications and scheduled a follow-up with Dr. Prosper. During that appointment, she told me she "couldn't help" and reminded me that I "chose to deliver somewhere else,". I ended up going to the ER for help. About a week later, I received a call saying that Dr. Prosper had canceled my 6-week postpartum appointment because I delivered at Germantown. As a new mom still recovering from complications, this was extremely upsetting and unprofessional. I then called the Silver Spring location, where I was met with empathy, professionalism, and understanding. They immediately scheduled me for my 6-week checkup and assured me that what happened was unacceptable. They also confirmed that they already had all my medical records, meaning Dr. Prosper's lied when she said she couldn't help me and she had no records of my delivery. I would strongly caution anyone considering the Rockville location to think twice. No patient should have to experience the level of disrespect and lack of care that I did during such an important time.

After the exam, we met in her office and discussed my appointment further. There were a bunch of medical supplies just stacked on book shelves, but again since it's not her office I'm sure they have limited space. Was able to access their portal easily, and get my results simply by an email letting me know they were ready. I still rate 5 stars because the doctor herself is outstanding, so glad she left medstar.
