I have been going to NIHA, specifically their dentistry practice for a couple of years now. Because…read moreof my health issues, I have found that integrative practices are more equipped to understand and handle my issues. Unfortunately, my experience with the office has not been good. 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.

I've been seeing Dr. Kannenkeril for years now. 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.

Dr. Musher may not be the friendliest but he is thorough. He went through my blood work with me…read moreand made recommendations based on what he saw. He's into the holistic medicine thing which is nice.. too expensive for my budget.. but it's good to see a doctor who realizes the importance of good health from more than just a drug standpoint. After the study that came out last year explaining the benefits of Vitamin D he will most likely make you take some of that (since 99% of people are deficient). I don't know what the health effects (including negative) are but I've been trying to take it when I remember and get more sun. The parking garage is expensive. They really need to validate parking here.

Dr. Musher engages in unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of the Maryland Consumer…read moreProtection Act and unauthorized release of medical information in violation of HIPAA law. On 6/7/19 I paid $185.00 for an office visit because, although Dr. Musher is a network provider with United Healthcare, he wanted to take enough payment in case I had not met my deductible. On 8/17/19 my wife (under whose name his office staff had mistakenly filed the insurance claim) called and spoke with the office staff about an EOB showing that I was responsible for only $51.23 and that Dr. Musher owed me a refund of $133.77. UnitedHealthcare had informed me that Dr. Musher was paid electronically on 6/26/19 and was in breach of his network-provider contract by failing to refund me within 30 days. The office staff promised a refund within the week. When a refund that did not arrive as promised, my wife called on 9/5/19 and spoke to Dr. Musher himself. Dr. Musher solicited my wife's agreement that I subscribe to his concierge service. Pressuring her, he told her I had health issues for which he had advised follow-up care. His disclosing my private medical information without my authorization violated HIPAA law. Moreover, this high-pressure marketing of a concierge service in an attempt to credit the $133.77 to concierge subscription fees instead of issuing me a refund check was inappropriate, unprofessional, and unfair and deceptive in violation of the Maryland Consumer Protection Act. I received my refund, but only after two telephone requests, one-and-a-half months from the time of the first request, and two-and-a-half months from the time that my health insurance paid Dr. Musher. In sum, Dr. Musher engages in unfair and deceptive trade practices relating to billing and to inappropriate and unprofessional solicitation for his concierge service, as well as unauthorized disclosure of private medical information. I do not recommend this doctor for anyone.

My husband and I scheduled neurology appointments with Dr. Neal M. Kurzrok a doctor with the…read moreNeurology Center. We traveled from Bethesda to MedStar Washington Hospital Center expecting to receive the care we had arranged. Instead, I was told that I no longer had an appointment because I had supposedly been "dismissed from the practice" due to an alleged incident in 2016, ten years before my scheduled appointment. I had never been notified of this alleged dismissal. No one could tell me what the incident was, who made the decision, why it was made, or provide any documentation or explanation. I learned of my supposed dismissal only after arriving for my appointment. If a medical practice decides to dismiss a patient, there are generally accepted practices intended to ensure the patient is informed and has an opportunity to obtain care elsewhere. Based on my experience, those standards were not followed. The situation became even more troubling when my husband, who had his own valid appointment, respectfully questioned what had happened. Shortly afterward, Dr. Kurzrok personally informed him that he also would not be seen. As a result, neither of us received the care we had scheduled and still urgently need. This experience was not simply about a canceled appointment. It was about a complete lack of transparency, accountability, and respect for patients. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Kurzrok, The Neurology Center, or MedStar Health. Patients deserve honest communication, fair treatment, and continuity of care, not unexplained denials of care after traveling to a scheduled appointment.

I will always be grateful for that. I am also a patient of Dr. Maruf and I feel that he truly cares about me. When I am with Dr. Maruf I never feel rushed. He is a kind, gentle, and excellent Doctor. I have recommended him to many friends and family members and they have all felt as I do about him. The staff warm, helpful, and friendly. The office is very attractive and clean. Occasionally the wait can be a bit long because they take emergencies as they arise. What good is a doctor if they are not available in an emergency!

I had a…read morepretty serious back injury a while ago that put me through the ringer of spinal injury treatments - pretty much everything short of surgery! UGH! After months of physical therapy, I was still dealing with quite a bit of pain - so, my orthopedist referred me to Dr. Chin for some additional help. She sat down with me and reassuringly explained all my other options (okay, to be fair, there weren't very many options - but she definitely made me feel better about things!). I ended up getting three epidural steroid injections (three because that's how many it took to get a good benefit from them), and if you've never had one of these, it is a bit of a scary process - no one likes having long needles right in there with all your spinal nerves, eek!! But Dr. Chin made me feel as comfortable as possible with the process, talking me through everything and making me feel a million times better. I was dealing with this solo, with no close family here to support me. She really held my hand through it, without making me feel stupid for worrying, which was just what I needed! The nurses at the GW outpatient surgery center were equally friendly and reassuring. The only real downside of her practice is that it is quite slow in the afternoons and often you have to wait in a stuffy room before you get to see her - but she is always cheerful and smiling, despite a long day. Obviously, I hope I won't be seeing her anytime soon, but that's definitely not because of Dr. Chin!
