I recently had 2 cataract surgeries at this center. From the moment I walked in until I left,I felt both times that I was treated very well as a patient. The facility was clean, well maintained, and the staff was professional and courteous. All my questions were addressed and everything went smoothly. read more

My name is Anna Marie I had my cataract surgeries done at this facility. First surgery went very well, second surgery on June 25, 2026 was a total nightmare. The Anesthesiologist was the worst ever, and the post care nurse who pulled out my IV before going home was awful. She was rushing me out when I was in so much pain from the surgery (I felt everything the doctor was doing during the surgery), because I was not medicated properly by the Anesthesiologist during the surgery! The day after the surgery I went to the doctors office to get checked and the Optometrist heard the whole story. He was beside himself, and told me to make a report to the Chevy Chase Surgery Center facility. I called them when I got home and asked to speak to the Administrator. They said he would call me back. I asked to speak to the Director of Nursing. I spoke to her and told her everything that happened. She said she would call me back, but I heard nothing for 1 month and I called them again. I left messages for Raffi the Administrator to call me back. When he did call me back he made excuses that he was gone 2 weeks and then the Director of Nursing was gone two weeks. He still had 2 weeks to call me back, and didn't when he got back. I told him that I felt the whole surgery being performed on my eye. My arms had IV and medical items attached to it, so I was trying to lift my arm on the other side so someone would see I was trying to get there attention. The Doctor had his hands resting on my checks while operating, so I couldn't talk for fear he would mess up. I was in so much pain afterwards and couldn't get the words out. I was shaking like a leaf, Then the Nurse says I have to get up, and I was dizzy and I couldn't. She wanted me off the bed, so another patient could fill it I am sure! It's not about quality of care - It's all about money! Another issue - I have Medicare and it's great insurance. They called me the day before requesting that I make a payment of $ 270.00 the first time when I had the first eye done, then the second time it was $ 270.79. This had to be paid when you got there at the Surgery Center. I paid it immediately, but a few weeks later I received my Insurance EOB which said I owed nothing. I called them and said they need to reimburse me the money I paid. I found out after talking to the insurance that when they got the authorization before the surgery they received notice that the procedure was not to cost me anything, but they called and asked for the money again and I knew nothing about this until the EOB came to me. They sent me the check, but I questioned them why they took the money before surgery - my question wasn't answered directly. Then came the second surgery. and they did the same thing. The beginning of August I called about getting my money back- I was told that the check was in the mail. It's the 20th of August so I called the Accounting Department on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of August to see when I was getting my payment. They said the first day the check went out, I told the lady I still have not received it. She said she would find and call me. On the 18th of August I called again. because I got no call back -she said the Administrator Raffi had to do the cancelled check with the bank, and he wasn't there. So, I called again on the 20th, and they said they would send me a copy of the check they said they sent -nothing sent me yet. I told them that I wanted to speak to Raffi, and they said on the 20th he was going to be out all day. I told then I wanted the check cancelled and a new one sent asap , because I waited long enough. The woman said I would have to wait two weeks, and I said I will not wait two more weeks! As soon as I said I would let the my insurance know everything that has happened, my daughter got a call back from Raffi. I was told he was not going to be there all day - She told him to call me which he did, I had my phone on silence, so I called him back immediately. He said the check was sent, and I told him to send me a copy of it because I don't believe them anymore. He took my address and said he would issue another check and mail it. I contacted my insurance company. so they knew exactly what transpired in my second surgery. They should know that I was not the only one this happened to, and that the doctors office told me that other people had the same awful experience as I did with this terrible Anesthesiologist. The service and care the second time was horrible. I would never recommend this place to anyone after what I went through with the second eye surgery . They don't care about calling people back when a problem arises.It's all about Money! Pushing you out even if you are not feeling well! It's about the volume of patients that go through there (15,000 patients) as stated by the Administrator Raffi, and as he said they are too busy to call people back with patient care concerns or problems with their accounting department. read more

Ijust had cataract surgery done at this facility and I was very impressed by how efficient the staff was. Everything went very smoothly. I have to admit, the waiting room needs some definite updating and I initially thought I should run but I'm so happy I didn't. Every staff member was so warm and welcoming. Knowledgeable, caring and personable. It took a total of 70 minutes. From the time I went back for prep to the time I was DC'd. Outstanding teamwork to make things run the way they did. I'll be back to have my other eye done with Dr. Shelton and it'll be a privilege to be in the hands of him and the staff at the Chevy Chase Surgery Center. Suite 105. Thank you all for making a difference in my life. 4 stars because of sad lil waiting room. read more

What a wonderful clinic and staff! They saw me quickly, even ahead of schedule. I arrived a little early and filled out my registration form -- I wasn't late. Every employee did their job perfectly at every stage of the process. Everyone asked how I was and supported me. I felt safe and very well cared for. Thank you to every employee, and thank you to the wonderful doctor Edgar Mehdikhani. MD! I wish you prosperity! read more

I had an upper endoscopy this morning there with Dr. Solomon. I was recommended to arrival hour before my procedure time but I can and hour and ten early, immediately after signing in I was pulled back, immediately they did vitals and began sedating me about 10 minutes later, I really appreciated the quick service. The nurses weren't very talkative but however were very polite and careful, the anesthesiologist was amazing and very descriptive with everything happening and everyone tried to make me feel comfortable! The procedure went great and I'm in minimal pain! read more

The Service: Front desk staffs were very efficient, check-in easy. Sarah was prepping me before the procedure. She was very gentle and sweet, definitely put my mind at ease. There were 3 staffs assisting Dr. Sarkisian in the surgery room. Great team work, very efficient. At the recovery, few more nurses came by and checked on me. Such wonderful service! The Facility: Very clean & well maintained. The Parking: Large parking lot (free) read more

Everything was good, the reason for 4 stars not 5, the office area was too small. We were there total of 2 hours which was very good. read more

If your going to have surgery here find another place. This place is over booked. The medical staff tries there best but it is the owner of the company that is greedy. They over book it so that they can make more money. My Mom had an appointment at 9:45 am and it is 11:45 am and she still has not had the procedure done. STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY read more

I had a Upper Endoscopy at the Center. The Receptionist and the Nurses were horrible! They had NO translators who could help with Spanish speaking Patients. The Nurses were Non friendly, No compassionate! Didn't smile or greet you or tell you their name or what they were going to do to you. It was a cold environment. Non hospitality! I WOULD NOT recommend this facility to NO one !!! It's like your at a mortuary. Very cold and Eerie!!! read more

The communication here is terrible! My mom had surgery today and they said it would be 3-4 hours and they'd call me 20 min before pickup. It took 1.5 hours and they TEXTED me TEN minutes before! I rushed down, she wasn't in the hallway like they said she'd be, there wasn't anyone at the front desk, a nurse finally called me, yelled, "Where are you??" I said, "I'm here!" She laughed and said, "what does that mean?" She finally appears in the hallway and with attitude says, "where's your car?" I'm confused because they never gave me instructions on where to park my car! I have to bring my car around to the side of the building where there was construction so that the nurse could easily bring her wheelchair down the ramp! That "nurse" was so rude and unprofessional! It was also a super busy and chaotic office, never go there if you can help it! read more

Went for a colonoscopy by Dr Edgar Mehdikhani. Plenty of parking and staff nice at check in. The worst part is the waiting. I got there before the time they told me and then waited 45 minutes to go in. Staff very nice and prepped me. Then waited another 30 minutes. But staff nice and checked on me. The procedure went fast. Dr. Said Hi before and then I was out. Facility clean and staff on top of it and friendly. I would recommend. read more

FORGOT THEY HAD A PATIENT After arriving an hour early to my father's appointment and hour to get into a room- the doctor (MORDECAI SOLOMON) decided to leave without letting my father know. The nurses were rude and told my father that he had complained (BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR AN EXTRA HOUR) Suggested he should go home and reschedule. Embarrassing and disgusting. A patient shouldn't be forgotten after being placed in a room. read more

I recently had eye surgery at this facility. I went in very nervous but ALL the staff helped me and did everything they could to explain what was going to take place and walked me through the whole process and set me at ease. Dr. Patel is an amazing doctor. He was very gentle and kind. He also set my mind at ease and explained the procedure as he went along. I am scheduled to have the other eye worked on next month. I highly recommend this facility. All the staff were very professional and the facility was immaculate. read more

It's been 7 days since I had a procedure at Chevy Chase surgery center and my hand is still severally bruised from the IV. Ive never had a bruise this bad from an IV, I still can not close my hand without pain. If you're nervous about the nurse who's supposed to IV you, ask for a different one. I wish I had! I'm including a picture of my bruised hand from four days and from 7 days post. The staff was doing the best they could, but it's obvious that there are a lot of underlying issues with this facility. Two nurses complained about their back pain to me bc I have degenerative disc disease- normal back pain is not the same as what I suffer from. This is my 2nd procedure at Chevy Chase and there will not be a third. Avoid this place if at all possible. Ask your insurance what other facilities are available. *side note- the first two sheets they brought to cover me up with both had crusty stains on them. Literally crumbling mystery stains. When I asked for new sheets bc mine were dirty, the nurse said "no they're not" before even looking. It's always great to be disrespected right before a medical procedure! read more

This place is busy true,but you're having procedures that could save your life people! I went there and was amazed how efficient they were and when I got my results,amen! All good !Dr.Solomon and staff were the best for a first timer like me...so hang in there people and God bless you... read more

Terrible! And I haven't even met the doctor yet. Got there a few minutes before my scheduled appointment, have been waiting over an hour. Just went back up to the front desk and was told the doctor is finishing a procedure, will do someone else after that, and I should be seen by 11:40---my appointment was at 10am. Everyone of the 20 or 30 people waiting look like and I hear are having the same experience. This is the definition of a mill. Hopefully, sufficient time and caution is taken doing the procedures, as it seems like the focus is on making money, with total lack of respect for patients' time. Find a different place! I had to give at least one star to post... read more

I was scheduled for a colonoscopy for this morning with Dr Mehdi Khorsandi (he is amazing and will write a review on his yelp site) and was terrified when I read the reviews. I needed this done because I have a my mom and her mlm (my grandma who passed on from colon cancer) I almost cancelled the appointment but I wanted to follow my gut (no pun intended lol) but so over the moon I didn't. I was shaking and full of anxiety waiting to go back to prep and the procedure. I have to say this team (sorry I don't remember any names of all the great team. But they all outstanding from the gal at the sweet gal who checked me in, the front desk gal, to nurse who out my IV in (I have had horrible experiences with this easy process) But she started and I was waiting for an issue but nope. Not even a pinch. The anesthesiologist was fabulous and put me at ease. Especially after getting my nite nite medication. Lol and the fabulous woman who was with me during recovery. It was my own fear and anxiety that was bad after reading the reviews. It was a great experience from start to finish. And getting a colonoscopy you feel so vulnerable and I was embarrassed just because of the whole... well you know if you've had one before. Lol So all I can say is Thank You all at the Chevy Chase Surgery Center for being so kind and putting my fear and anxiety at ease. All I can say is if you have an early appointment get there early. The earlier your the there the first you be taken. But this has nothing to do with the staff at all. Again!!! Thank You CCSC!!! For being front line workers and what you do is heroic no matter what part of the medical field your in!!!! Be safe and Well!!! Blessing from a happy patient!! Marcelle read more

I don't recommend this facility to anyone. Our appointment was at 10:30. We got a call at 7:30 in the morning saying there's a cancellation coming soon as you can we were here at 9 o'clock and it's already past 1 o'clock and we're still waiting and the procedure has not started yet. When we spoke with the nurses, they gave you every excuse in the world why there's a delay. 0 read more

Hallway where family waits has no a/c. They had us arrive at 9 am for a surgery that didn't start until afternoon. The bathroom didn't have handsoap. My family member has aspergers and excessively agitated. He also is diabetic and hasn't eaten in 18 hrs. Due to fasting for a "9 am" surgery date read more

My Ophthalmologist selected this facility. otherwise I would have never stepped foot inside. I have gone to SPA's that spend more money than they do on not only amenities but also appearance. It looks like its in a random shopping mall although its definitely not inviting. Starting off with my arrival back in August- it was terrifying. The beds are lined up next to each other so you're in an open space while they prep you. I was on my period and they insisted I take a urine test to prove I wasn't pregnant even though I had communicated that I have been celibate for a few years. When the procedure was done, they injected my iv with whatever brings you out of anesthetics and instead of allowing me some time to gain consciousness they handed me my phone and asked me to call my uber /lyft. I was given grape juice vs. oj upon waking up which made me even more nauseous. I mean truly the worst experience ever AND I had to have emergency surgery in a foreign country at the age of 23 and it was still better than here. Cut to present day: I have been trying to get a hold of them for payment for 2 months now. I owe $236. First- you can only call them. (2) They rarely answer the phones and you have to leave a VM if you want anyone to know you have been trying. Its 2020 just answer your phone and or hire a calling service the procedure you're charging me for is $7,170 and it was less than 2 hours so I am sure you can afford help. Either way, there is no way to reach out via email so no way to track that you have reached out to them. There is no website and there is no way to pay except for putting your cc information on a sheet of paper and mail it back to them... Security at all important to you? No. I would say the same the 1 star reviews have said. Really don't get any procedure done here if you can help it. Good luck read more

I've had two cataract surgeries performed by my wonderful, genius, ophthalmologist, Dr. Hamparian at this surgery center. Everyone here is professional, competent, courteous and understanding. If your surgeon uses this surgical center and the team here for his or her procedures, consider yourself lucky. I didn't get the names of all the people who helped me, but here are a few I'd like to thank: Alvina (my pre-op nurse), Emma (OR nurse), Frida (nurse), Anoush (nurse aid) (I apologize to anyone I missed - you were all great.) And my respect goes out to the ladies at the front desk who take care of so many nervous people, and do it with professionalism. Thanks so much, Meridith read more

I understand that this surgery center preps dozens and dozens of patients a day but geez! They brusquely go about their business, not telling you what they are doing or about to do, they continually administer eye drops without a word, sometimes startling me as I lay with my eyes closed against the fluorescent lights. In the operating room another swarm of people pull the pillow out from under your head and tape your head to the table without warning. I'm assuming their medical care is alright or my ophthalmic surgeon wouldn't send her patients there, but an "I'm back" before suddenly prying my eye open, or an "I need to remove this pillow" would sure be appreciated! I was even given a post-op instruction sheet that contradicted my doctor's orders. My driver had to call the doctor's office to receive confirmation that we should ignore the post-op instructions. I have another surgery (other eye) coming up this week, at least now I know what to expect!!. read more

This surgery center was the worst medical office I have ever visited. They were crowded with so many patients trying to check in that you were forced to wait outside of the office in a crowded hallway. Appointments were 2 hours late. We actually stood in the hallway for two hours since the waiting room was full before we were called in for our appointment. It then took another two hours to complete a simple 10 minute procedure due to the over booking of patients. All this in the middle of the covid pandemic. Assistants were rude and some were not wearing masks. Horrible experience. read more

Horrible service very unprofessional. I had a 6:30am appointment and it is 7:20am other patients went in before me and I was first in line.

Took my grandmother in for her procedure a few days ago and staff was great! They're professional and kind, front office called a few days before the procedure date to let us know there was going to be a copay, as a person who also works in a medical office I know the call was a courtesy that we very much appreciated. read more

We came here today for surgery for my girlfriend. The staff when we got in was nice and friendly. Even played a quick joke on my girlfriend. The surgery went well and we are very happy with this place. read more

Love working here. Very Proficient! Gr Dr. Nurses..etc..!! AJB read more

This place is horrible. You can tell that they don't care at all about the well being of their patients. The only thing that matters to them is the patients money. They made me pay for my procedure in full and then they took over a month to submit the claim. Since they took so long to submit the claim, they then got paid by my insurance as well. They were very quick about cashing both my check and my insurance company's check, but they are taking their sweet time when it comes to refunding me the money. On top of their crappy billing procedures, the facility itself is horrible and outdated. You should seriously look elsewhere if you need to have an outpatient surgery. read more

The date is November 14th, 2012 and I can't believe any (bad) reviews haven't been written...After arriving at 6:40 am I was hit up for the deductable that I'd paid the week before to my surgeon's office...The last thing a patient going in for surgery needs is demand for a deductable that was already paid. No deductable, no surgery...so now I'll wait the 2 or 3 months to get it back-btw, I went into surgery after 9am-fully 2 1/2 hour wait-the receptionist and billing person were not at all helpful-avoid this financial money-pit at all costs- read more

I just had a procedure here today at the Surgery Center (#106,) I didn't choose this surgery center, it is the one the doctor I wanted to go uses and I'm so glad he does. The nurses were so friendly and professional. My procedure was scheduled for 10am but because the patient before me took longer than expected, I couldn't be operated on until 1:30PM (it wasn't anyone's fault, that's just the way medical things go sometimes) but the nurses kept coming by to check me and to make sure I was comfortable and okay. I felt very cared for and like I was in good hands. The facility itself is fine, nothing fancy but certainly not dated at all in my opinion and the care I received here trumps any fancy clinic, 100%. Highly recommend. read more

This surgery center was great I had an appointment a few days ago and staff was amazing super kind and attentive. My wait time was a little longer that expected but seeing a waiting room full of people I had a feeling I would be waiting a while. But once inside everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend. read more

I have been here twice for cataract surgery (June 2017 and Jan 2018) and both times the whole staff was fantastic. They really put you at ease and make you very comfortable. They really seem to care and show it in their actions. I applaud you Chevy Chase Surgery Center Staff. read more
