• My experience here is that I think I will be shopping around for a new primary care group as I do not appreciate having to come in, pay a co-pay and spend time with you all, just to get a prescription refill. the last time this happened, I asked about a refill dosage and was told that this is not going to happen. I really don't like getting a extra large number of pills to avoid your policy which to me is greedy and annoying and time consuming to make an appointment for a 3 minute dr visit. SHAME ON YOU James Bisker 01/24/2018

• I have been a patient of this practice for close to 13 years. All of the providers are very competent, access to them via the portal is easy and often getting same day appointments is almost never a problem. I would highly recommend Comprehensive Primary Care. Guy Bising 09/29/2017

• I had a great experience with my doctor at PCC in Bethesda office, but their receptionist was extremely rude. Not once, but multiple times when I tried to call to make an appointment or call about my insurance paperwork. People do not realize how important customer service is, especially when you're sick or need of assistance. I am looking elsewhere for a new doctor office. AO 01/24/2018

• My provider is Amanda Bridges. I have been seeing her for approximately 1 year. All of my experiences with her have been poor. She is consistently unprepared, she often asks questions that are covered in my chart, forgets diagnoses and medications that she has prescribed for me. She is often dismissive of my concerns, and relays critical pieces of my health flippantly and without regard to my experience. When I bring up symptoms related to diagnoses that she has made, she is dismissive. She tends to focus solely on my weight and often attributes symptoms I experience (that are related to my diagnosed health conditions) as a result of how "big" I am. She stated in our last appointment that she believed that gay people could not adopt children. I am very unsatisfied and in fact hurt my her approach. Of course, I will find a new provider, but I don't want to leave her practice without warning others first. If you are woman with a high BMI, if you are gay, or if you have chronic conditions, I would not see this doctor. Jillian Villars 03/24/2018

• I have been seeing Dr. Gebeily for last 10 to 15 years, he has now joined Comprehensive. I am on cholesterol medication, CVS send a request for refill more than a week ago but no response. I called the front desk, they do not have access to Dr. Gebeily's file. I requested to convey my massage to Dr. Gebeily, they refused to do that and told me that he can not order a refill from this practice unless you make an appointment with him. I needed my medication, with great frustration, On Monday, I showed up on the practiced but the girls were very rude and refused to let Dr. Gebeily that I am there. I left my name, D.O.B and phone number at the desk and requested that Dr. Gebeily call me, till today no call. Please show this e-mail to Dr. Gebeily ASAP.

• dictor didnt be attentive and adviced svetlana salita 04/28/2018

• In my three encounters with Dr. Kodroff (two office visits: one consultation to prepare for annual physical, another for lower back pain), I sensed a deep disinterest in my health. In the first consultation, I showed her my blood work result from last year, which had an extreme cholesterol. She didn't offer much of an advise except that we should wait until the next blood test which was scheduled in early May. She prescribed vitamin D to help my deficiency. My second visit was to ease a lower back pain. I brought medication from previous back ache in 2016, thinking it was a good idea to report as a reference. She then copied BOTH prescriptions (diclofenac and a muscle relaxant), despite the fact that I did not exactly needed muscle relaxant because the pain was not extreme like in 2016.No explanation was given about how I should observe taking diclofenac and my physical reaction to it, or when I should stop, or if I need to report back. She didn't even talked about exercises or stretches that could ease my back pain (something I found out when I consulted a friend who is an internist at Kaiser in California. She was surprised about the lack of this seemingly standard procedure on back pain remedy. How would I know? Only now I remember in 2016 my urgent care doctor made print outs of exercises for me to do at home). I emailed her after a week reporting a rapid weight gain due to water/liquid retention, most likely caused by diclofenac, which was extremely uncomfortable for me. Her response was dismissive, telling me in one sentence to get off the diclofenac without offering an alternative to ease my pain. No response after I emailed back asking what I should take for my back pain if I were to get off diclofenac. I have never met a doctor more disinterested in her patient's well being than this doctor. I thought going to an Osteopathic Doctor would offer me a more holistic approach to preventive healthcare. Wrong. Obviously I canceled my physical with her. And I am not going back to this office. Now I realized that I should have checked reviews on her. Less than 4 stars reviews of doctors is rather suspect, especially when it is consistent. Upik Djalins 04/30/2018

• Please please help! My name's Erica Nicole Walden. From covington Ga. They keep knocking me out and raping me. They cut my head open and put a snake there and in my stomach. I can't take the pain anymore!! They are coming for my kids too. They have been hurting them this while time and I didn't know!! They are very wealthy. They have money and power and that's all they care about. That's why they torture and eat babies!! Please please help!!!! This is serious. Not a joke. They are about to shock my brain and take my eyes out!! Erica Walden 05/04/2018

• System refused to send my message. Referenced odd characters, but there were none. Eric Schimmel 05/18/2018

• I tried to become a new patient today. It took me five tries to get a person on the phone, including being hung up on once. The girl who answered had no idea what to do with a new patient. She basically was like Why are you calling me? and told me there wasn't a way to become a new patient. I really don't understand how you are in business. ??? No way of contacting your office or communicating with someone who understands basic questions. Just awful. C 06/05/2018

• Dr. Bangalore and his staff are the best. I live in frederick Maryland and have thought about getting a Doctor there but I cannot think of leaving this practice. Linda Hankey 06/07/2018

• Dr. Desai is warm and professional. She listens and makes an effort and does not run unnecessary tests or incur extra costs; much appreciated by a young professional. The entire staff has been incredibly responsive to all of my questions and requests, and the online patient portal makes me feel like I have a great sense of my overall healthcare plan. Thank you so much! Madeline Brown 06/07/2018

• I have a complaint about your new approach to patient care: a computer screen replacement to a check-in receptionist. I understand that technology is important but this "self service" information gathering is redundant and annoying to have to repeat my entire billing and personal history so that your business center can easily automate your processes at the expense of the customer. Ever consider having your full time receptionist (s) enter in the data you want (and already have via the patient portal account that has most of the information you are seeking - perhaps a smarter business manager could mine that data instead of inconveniencing a customer to fill out a lengthy check-in application )? Two receptionists and you have to make the customer do this work?? and then wait for service. Come on folks this lack of service in the interest of updating policies is total bunk: Here is a suggestion (s) tell the patient up front that this will need to be done. 2.have your receptionist do this for the patient at the time of check-in. Or at least have your staff be attentive and helpful and not all "attitude" driven and in your face when the flawed application gets the customer confused why am I doing this? James Bisker 06/19/2018

• My father is Dr. Bangalore's patient, on June 20,18 I requested a prescription request, beside sending the prescription Dr Bangalore called me personally for advise. I appreciate his above and beyond patient service . Thank you Dr. Bangalore for your excellent professional skills. Brij Brij Khanna 06/20/2018

I noticed a few technical errors which correspond with a drop of website traffic over the last 6-8 months which I thought I would bring to your attention. I was analyzing your site and it seems that some of your website rankings have dropped. It is due to non optimized techniques/errors And Google guidelines not being followed properly. • Your web page failed on 4 high priority checks: Meta Description,

• I go to the U St office and communications is just terrible. They did not approve my pharmacy request for a refill and when I contacted them (left 3 voicemails on 3 different days back to back) still no answer. When I decided to then call the front office instead of the refill prescription option I was told different version of exactly what was happening, no one could get their facts/story straight. The most recent was was a bold face lie when I asked my pharmacist if it was true. So after 2 years I am really re-considering using that office or company: Carl Williams Augustin 07/19/2018

• Trying to make an appointment sucks! Eric Schimmel 08/03/2018

• I will not be coming back to this practice. For a decade, I have enjoyed a good relationship with Dr. Bhandary. However, I am finally fed up with his front office staff. I called to cancel an appointment, gave them my name and appointment time, and got an "Okkaaaayyy" followed by a hangup. Then, I got a bill for $50 for a missed appointment. I have been hesitating to go to the dr when sick because I hate dealing with the rude front office staff. I have finally decided that I need a doctor's office that I do not want to avoid. I will be paying the bill as a the cost of getting out of a bad situation. Meanwhile, I am looking forward to establishing a relationship with a new practice. Lauren 08/12/2018

• Called 3 times to get bloodwork results since their online portal claims I'm not a patient when I try to set it up. Finally heard back and heard summary of results over phone, and a promise to check into the portal issue with no follow up. Still can't access portal and no way to contact them without calling and leaving yet another message. Frustrating. Can't even see if I owe them money as my doctor mentioned billing information could be accessed in this portal too. Portal is a fail. Jessica 09/14/2018

• I received a bill in my email today that was sent 9/12/18. I never gave anyone permission to use my email for this purpose since I don’t regularly check my personal email account. I’m pissed that the bill says past due when this is the first notification that I’ve received. I don’t ap RoJouan Coles 09/15/2018

• I received a bill via email which was very unusual since I don’t check my personal email very often nor did I give permission for my email to be used for this purpose. I’m very upset that this notification says past due when this is the first time I received this bill. Furthermore I told the office on the day of service I had a copay and they said I didn’t. I am a responsible person who always pays her bills and I don’t appreciate being threatened with late fees and collections. The Arlington office in my opinion is very poorly ran and i will not be returning. I’ve been a patient for 10+ years and ive never had any billing or communication issues and I’ve had multiple issues with this location. RoJouan Coles 09/15/2018

• All I wanted was a copy of my blood work. I've been trying for 2 days to get it from your darned portal (which I really hate). That being said and still no copy of my blood work (which my cardiologist could have used for my appointment), I won't be using you to do any lab work. I'm going back to Quest.
