Dr. Hubbard and her team have provided Pediatric care for my son since before he was born. I interviewed her when searching for a Pediatrician as soon as learning of the pregnancy. Dr. Hubbard answered each of my detailed questions about her medical philosophy and care protocols (yes I was a first time dad and read too much "What to Expect when you are Expecting"). She answered each question in a matter of fact manner. She also was very understanding. Moreover she seemed very warm. We became patients and she made a visit to my new born son in the hospital the day he was born!!!
Over the years she has discovered minor issues that could well have been major like an irregular heart beat and a minor illness. Unchecked, it may have cause my son issues down the road but she and her team are always very thorough. Another piece of mind is that the office is under the umbrella of Children's National Primary Care; which is associated with the world renowned Children's Hospital in D.C. As far as medical care and patient care, this office and Dr. Hubbard (also Dr. Tucker-Powell) are top notch.
Fast forward 15 years from my first interaction until today. My son is still a part of the CP&A family. As a teenager they provide him care in a way where he can be a self advocate for himself and he is given the space to discuss any concerns he has directly with "his doctor." All while keeping the parent fully in the loop.
All the great things about the office must be well known because they seem to have a full patient roster. They seem to have a full office especially around back to school time, but I have never had an issue getting a routine physical. When ill, they see him the same day or the very next. The check in process is pretty much electronic done on cool iPads that even have a credit card swiping function (very convenient). They have recently moved to a new space down the road from their smallish location. Thus, the size of waiting area and number of exam rooms have been increased and updated. The office is beautiful and very functional. Even the exam room decor was more teen appropriate while other rooms were decorated for younger children.
Many of the staff have been with the office for all 15 years we have been coming. They are without fail professional and very friendly. They also take their jobs seriously but in a way that calms the kids fearful of impending shots (and parents that tend to worry).
I will say, our experience here has been like having a private doctor that has launched my son on a lifetime journey of good health and a great understanding of his body and the importance of going to the doctor regularly. Would that all providers and businesses operated as competently and warmly as Dr. Hubbard's and her team at CP&A!!!!
