As my family member's kidney function and overall health declined, Dr. Shahin thoughtfully adjusted medications, presented alternative treatment options, and ensured we always understood the reasoning behind each decision. His office provides a truly comprehensive support system. We were connected with dieticians, social workers, and staff who patiently walked us through the complexities of dialysis planning. Dr. Shahin also coordinates seamlessly with other physicians, reviewing medications and ensuring that every part of the care plan works together. The entire staff is kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Their compassion has made an incredibly difficult journey feel manageable, and we are deeply grateful for the care they've provided. I generally do not post, but Dr. Shahin and his team deserves the acknowledgement!

He was kind, caring, very funny and very professional. He explained things to me in a way that I understood, and did not make me feel stupid. I felt like he was really concern about my concerns, and that he listen and more than anything he heard me. He assured me that dialysis would not be in my future. Its nice to have a doctor that still really cares for his patients. I am confident that I am in good hands, and look forward to seeing him on our next visit in 3 month. Thanks Doctor. Zerita Rice

Was diagnosed with vascular insufficiency of both legs. Didn't get to see any of the actual…read moreresults of my US. Got a large pamphlet on procedure they wanted to do to help. What they don't disclose in this is that there is a risk of death. My leg is left hurting worse, and more swollen--I look like I was in a car wreck. I was told this would last 6-8 weeks and the procedure isn't a cure. They wanted to do both of my legs but after the first procedure I declined to let them touch me again. It was not a pleasant experience. Perhaps in 6-8 weeks I may change my mind. I was also told after surgery that swelling above the knee is often due to inflammation. If I had known all of this I would have likely waited to have this surgery. I don't understand why they can't give you something to help you for pain before going into surgery.

Yes, I wrote a review about that experience. Scroll down if you're interested. The main thing is that I DID find Dr. Moalemi. I guess some things are just meant to be. :) What can I say? The offices - both Springfield and Shirlington - are clean and bright and come with free parking. The staff at both are beyond responsive, polite, respectful. They do their job. Well. Here I need to pay particular respect to Lexi. I phoned last week needing a nephrologist. At the time, lab work looked as though my kidneys were on a fast-moving, downward spiral. Dr. Moalemi was working in a different office that day. There was a lot of back and forth to get the message through. Each time we spoke, Lexi was polite and professional. What she did with my request is unbelievable. She not only got multiple referrals from the doctor, she CALLED those doctors to see who could get me in first! Then she called me with her findings. Are you kidding me? WHO does that? WHO?? No one you've seen recently, my friend. I know that to be true. That level of kindness is quite rare these days. Quite the testament to Lexi and to Dr. Moalemi. This is standard for this practice. Yep, it sure is. I've had Dr. Moalemi call me around 8:30 PM just to make sure I was okay and to change medication course. It's humbling to think a doctor works all day and still makes sure to take care of you - no matter what. I was appreciative. Well, after I almost bit her head off. LOL. Yes, it's true. I thought she was a telemarketer trying to sell me something at first. *slaps forehead* That's her work ethic and dedication and her kindness shining through. When you go into the room with Dr. Moalemi, you will come out happy. SHE is a happy person with bright eyes and an infectious laugh and a personality that keeps judgment free. She's just warm and wonderful. YES, she's a highly respected expert in her field. But when you're with her, you're going to feel as if you're talking to a friend. I promise you. She will take the time and effort to be there for you. Need a cardiologist? Look no further. By the way, I'm on the mend today and feeling much better. :)

Review of office visit with Marc Brazie, MD…read more In May 2026, my primary care provider recommended an office visit with a nephrologist, specifically naming Mark Brazie, MD. Perfect choice, as it turned out. At 70, I assumed that at some point I would need to consult with a nephrologist. Earlier in 2025 my PCP indicated that blood screens identified chronic kidney disease at its earlier stage (3a). Time enough to make changes if I needed to. I don't know what path my PCP took that led us to Dr. Brazie, but after a full hour visit with him I was convinced that my PCP knew what she was doing - Dr. Brazie was a solid and well-informed kidney specialist. The medical orders and history needed for this consultation were all available to Dr. Brazie, even though I had nothing to do with making sure these records were available before our appointment. Ever since venture capitalists started acquiring medical practices, I've been concerned that the emphasis for such practices would start to shift from providing first-rate medical care to providing first-rate returns on investments for venture capitalists. If that has already occurred at Metropolitan Nephrology Associates, it is well hidden. The problem is that the sport of poaching practices like this is prolific for venture capitalists - we've seen it in its worst iteration by the way VCS consumed and then spit out nursing homes before and then during the pandemic. Lowest common denominators dominate the field under the influence of VC profit-taking, and I remain concerned that a practice like MNA would be an attractive addition to whatever cut-rate and cost-cutting VC firm that looks for bargains in medical practices. That all did not seem to factor in this case. I could be wrong, as VCs are notorious for skimming any profit available and doing so in a way that is impossible for outsiders to detect, leaving practices bereft of the soul, ethics, and integrity that led the medical group to be formed in the first place. From the website, I learned that all MNA's physicians are board certified in nephrology, andn that members of the group have been recognized on multiple occasions in the Best Doctors issues of Washingtonian Magazine, Northern VA Magazine, and Virginia Living Magazine. Regardless of my concerns about VCs, I encountered first-rate service throughout the process of becoming a patient with MNA. My PCP specifically recommended Dr. Brazie and did so based on solid experience. Dr. Brazie clearly had reviewed my records before we met - and at 70 years, my records take a moment to absorb. We spent a solid hour reviewing my medical history, while Dr. Brazie briefed me on what he saw in my existing medical history. He supplemented this discussion with observations about what triggering or warning signs I should be keeping in mind. By the end of the hour, I had a significantly improved understanding of my health. Happily, the in-depth medical history presented no red flags - just areas where I should be watching to check against deterioration of my systems. We agreed to meet again in the following year, and we were done. Note that it's not clear whether the office is Metro or ART friendly - this was one of the rare times I elected to drive to the doctor's office from Old Town, Alexandria. It's not a reflection on Dr. Brazie's practice, but I found the location difficult to find, even using GPS. I also found the patient portal used by MNA to be non-functional each of the three times I tried to access it, so I was not able to use the site to provide my medical history in advance of my office visit, despite repeated efforts. Still, quality of care ranks highest in my mind, and I am confident that the advice I received from Dr. Brazie was above and beyond the best care available. Dr. Brazie is a keeper.
