I have been seeing Dr. Rubin for many years and he is the best. He always addresses my concerns and his staff is very professional.

I went to a dr. At this facility this year. It was not a good experience!…read more The dr. Never looked at me and went so fast I thought he had too many Red Bull's. He was not personable which is quite sad when you have someone not feeling well coming to you for help. I will never return nor recommend this office!

I needed to have a weight loss procedure done and since they were close I made a consult. I filled…read moreout the questions prior so they had all my history and than they charged me $50.00 and my wife and I had the consult with Dr Charbel. We discussed my need for having it and I had several medical conditions it would help if I had it done and he agreed that people do it for those health reasons. The doctor Halim Charbel told me they offered a medical weight loss program but I told him I knew about that and other doctors had offered it, but the fact you had to stay on the injections for life and these medications have not been proven for long term effects, I decided not to start them and opted for the ESG. The doctor said at the end of the consult that if I decide to go ahead with the ESG to call and they would schedule the procedure. I discussed it with my wife and decided to do it and called to make the appointment. Than I was told I have to speak to the nutritionist first so I made that appointment and spoke to her. The next this was to call to schedule. I called for several weeks and no one returned my calls. I finally received an email from a Kasey Lee Wills (very nasty person) informing me that now they want me to go through a medical weight loss program before they do the procedure. They do offer one on their website but no one ever said this was a condition. I even asked this prior to the consult and was going this route because my health insurance would pay for this if I went through a weight loss program but I did not want to wait and heard about this being less invasive and did not have to go through a weight loss program. So I agreed to pay for this myself. ($10,000.00) I replied and asked what kind of weight loss program did she mean by medical? Weight watcher's, or the they offer for $1495.00 or seeing a primary doctor and getting a prescription for weight loss for 6 months, but she did not reply. The original email she sent told me there is no reason to contact them again until I have proof of having the weight loss program completion. They have caused me and my wife a great deal of mental stress and aggravation. I have never seen a doctors office act like this. They lie, take your money and keep making you jump through more requirements and spend more money. This is bait and switch fraud that is illegal to lure people in and keep raising the cost. I am sure a doctor may get away with doing this by saying this is his opinion even though it was never said prior. I wrote this Kasey back telling he to sign me up for their medical weight loss clinic, but again she has not replied. I would STAY far away from this Doctor Charbel as possible. He may post a lower price, but do not count on it. I wanted to get this done ASAP and now it has been 4 months. I guess he bated me well. I have seen many scams but none as blatant as this. DO NOT USE THEM!!! Dont get sucked into their scam. The Silhouette Clinic Apr 11 at 2:39 PM kasey.wills@digestivecare-specialists.com Hello Mr. I received your voicemail from yesterday. Dr. Charbel is currently out of the office but will return your call upon his return to the office. At this time, we will not be proceeding with an ESG procedure unless you have successfully enrolled into a medical weight loss program showing your compliance with a program. At this time, there is no need to reach out to our office staff until Dr. Charbel has contacted you. Thank you, I since asked what kind of medical program they want me to do even though it was never said it was needed, but no reply. I wrote her back and said if it is the medical weight loss program they have for $1499.00 sign me up so I can get it over and done, Again NO REPLY

My brother recommended Dr Jagr for my first colonoscopy couple years ago. He's a pretty good…read moredoctor and takes the time to get to know you and any of your issues. I've now been a patient for over five years with Dr. Jagr. Had two colonoscopies and an endoscopy with him. Their facilities are so nice and the nurses and staff are top notch. Like their location off Shady Grove Road Don't delay a colonoscopy when you hit 45-50 age range. The prep work sucks but it can save your life!

This review is for CRNP Kelly Mercado (January 2026)…read more I consider myself very fortunate to be under Kelly's care for five years now. She is extraordinarily smart, knowledgeable in medical matters, and a great communicator who combines high-quality medical care with personal touches. She is always reassuring and easy to talk to, and she has never let me down by responding to my emails quickly and providing a listening board every time my digestive issues flareup. In the five years I have known her, she is consistently prompt, professional, and efficient in managing my digestive prescriptions and in addressing any of my medical concerns. Kelly never lets me down when I need her assistance. I see multiple doctors for various health reasons, and none of them are as supporting as Kelly has been to me. I am so thankful to have her as my primary gastroenterologist because I know I can always count on her every time. I highly recommend Kelly and Capital Digestive Care for your digestive health.

I recommend every one of age get this procedure done - the care from this office is magnificent and professional. All the best Doc.

I've been a patient for YEARS and only managed to see Dr. Lafsky in office ONCE due to repeated scheduling errors on their end. The final straw was after being denied a scheduled appt. With Dr. Lafsky by Nancy the office manager. All bc I missed an appointment while I was in the hospital with SEPSIS. Instead of telling the doctor I was there she sat me and my MOTHER down for 45min to lecture us about missing appointments. I even called from my potential deathbed to cancel and i saw Dr. Lafsky while in hospital!! Later that weekend, I retroactively received an invite from the receptionist Sam to an entirely different appointment the previous month that I did not make nor was I ever informed of. Clearly trying to clean up a screw up. So, after trying to schedule an over due Endo and colonoscopy for 3 years with this office, I finally gave up and found a new GI. I came in as a new patient, had my first appointment, and both procedures scheduled and performed in less than 2 weeks. If you are having issues with this office, it's them not you, just run. P.s. shout-out to Reston Gastro Health! It's a 2hr round-trip, but probably just gained me years of life back.
