Long overdue review! Earlier in the year I suffered a lower back injury. I initially ignored it…read morethinking it would go away but it only got worse! I looked up some nearby places. I picked this location and called for an appointment. This was right as covid was becoming part of our everyday lives. I was told to wear a mask for my appointment. I parked in a nearby garage and arrived 20 minutes before the appointment. They took my weight and then I had to fill out extensive paperwork but I guess that's warranted. I met with Dr. Shaun, who was very professional and made me feel at ease. He said that I shouldn't need an MRI and it was most likely just a sprain! He prescribed some painkillers and recommended physical therapy. I ended up going to physical therapy and I felt better soon after. To this day, I'm feeling fine. I'm grateful for this office for my diagnosis and for guiding me in the right direction!

This was like back in 2018 I think so no clue if the same people are working there.

Having been a patient of the former Orthopedics Associates since the 1980s where the docs there put…read morevarious parts of my body back together, I returned to the same scene of many a visit throughout the past 40 years. Orthopedics Associates has gone; in the same office space is the superb CENTERS FOR ADVANCED ORTHOPAEDICS, ORTHO SPECIALISTS OF METRO WASHINGTON, SILVER SPRING OFFICE. In August of 2018 when I could no longer bear knee pain, I drove out to Silver Spring. Am I a creature of habit, or am I simply loyal? That's when I first met Stanley the PA and Dr. Christopher Magee the orthopaedic surgeon. I recall watching Stanley smiling as he called the patients and slowly walking beside those who were moving with difficulty rather than walking ahead to wait for them. I recall Stanley's patience as he waited for me to put back the needlepoint I had been stitching when my name was called. I remember my first meeting with Dr. Magee. Here was a physician who, although he had heard the same complaints from a zillion patients with my condition, listened intently as if he was hearing this account for the first time. After X-rays were taken, Dr. Magee began his explanation of the treatment. The injections were painless and there was no cortisone flare, as can happen. In fact, I was pain-free for 10 months although we are told to expect relief for just 2-3 months. And now about today, June 19, 2019. After leaving my one-level Florida home, I was back in Bethesda. After two weeks of climbing stairs, the pain was back, and I went back to Dr. Magee. The women at the front desk were efficiently and pleasantly checking in patients. Stanley was still doing his thing easily putting patients at ease, chatting and preparing the medication. Dr. Magee had taken the time to review my records before seeing me. How often does that happen? Once again, he patiently listened to my tale of woe and once again the two injections were administered. All questions were answered; follow-up was discussed. Am I creature of habit or am I loyal? Certainly, a bit of both, and certainly, as long as this practice is in practice, I will be back whether it's my knee, my shoulder, my neck, or my back - all body parts that have been treated in this familiar place but now with my fairly new doc, the very experienced, able and kind Dr. Christopher Magee. Stairs today? No problem!

Slimy thieves. I went there for a sprained knee. I had two appointments, an initial one and a…read morefollow-up, and between them I saw a physician for 40-50 minutes. Not 40 or 50 minutes each appointment, 40 or 50 minutes total. I got a prescription for Ibuprofen, and a knee brace. All of which is fine, I'm glad that they didn't try to do anything "heroic". They are billing **$950** for the knee brace. You can get one for $40 at a CVS half a mile away. At no time did they ever say something like, "You can get a knee brace at a drug store maybe 15 minutes away -- or you can use our $950 model." I would **never** have taken their brace at all if I had any inkling of what the bill would be. I never imagined that they'd mark up a $40 device by a factor of more than **20**. What they're pulling is nothing more than a greedy, sleazy scam. Yeah, the office staff is nice and the place is clean with a nice magazine selection. So what? It doesn't come close to balancing their slimy rip-off tactics. Unless you enjoy getting fleeced, avoid these people.

Before making such a big decision to go under the knife, I decided to try pain management. I went through 3 iterations of steroid injections. The final shot was what sealed the deal and made me feel all better. I'm going through physical therapy to help condition my core muscles to help my back muscles. The staff nurses were unbelievably nice and reassuring. They consoled me when I was nervous and listened to me when I told them about my pain. Dr. Ghazal was very patient and helped me understand the entire process. I would highly recommend this pain management center for anyone going through extreme pain.

Holy Cross Anesthesiology Associates PA sent me many invoices. In July 2020, I was fed up and paid with a credit card. The next day, my wife told me that she experienced the same issue with Holy Cross Anesthesiology Associates, and it took her months for being reimbursed by them. A few days later, I called the billing department of Holy Cross Anesthesiology Associates PA (1-800-693-3257) to dispute the charge. A lady told me that Medicare denied the payment. Checking with her I found that, they made a typo in my Medicare #, like they did for my wife two years ago (coincidence?). Since then, I called several times, sent three messages and two letters. Still no answer. In December 2020, they submitted an invoice to MEDICARE and have been paid. On February 16, 2021, I have still not been refunded. Looks like a scam from con artists! Holy Cross Anesthesiology Associates PA should be blacklisted!

In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

What I appreciated the most was her accessibility. She would review menus of restaurants I was eating at or provide me with customized recommendations. When I was frustrated with results or what the scale said, she was non-judgmental and offered helpful advice for how to overcome cravings or emotional reactions. In fact, I was surprised (in a good way) by how much of the program was centered around mindfulness and balance. Even though the program only includes 4 sessions, I felt like I was in constant communication with Lindsay and she genuinely cared about my progress. She frequently sent email updates and checked in, and when I had questions, she was never more than a text away. I am excited to see continued progress. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone!
