From the owner: Welcome to Maryland Children Health Center, your experienced and caring pediatricians in Glenn Dale…read moreand Oxon Hill, Maryland! If you're looking for accessible pediatric care, a child-friendly environment, and a responsive team of pediatricians then look no further. We love kids, and our goal is to have a positive impact in the lives of children by providing exceptional health care and compassionate service to the families we serve.

I would not recommend this pediatric practice…read more Very difficult to deal with. They have a zero tolerance late policy. I brought my son in for a sick visit. I ended up being twelve minutes late because i had both kids and couldn't get the baby out of a tight spot so had to switch parking spaces. The front desk made me wait almost thirty minutes to tell me that I was being denied a visit because i was late. When I called to complain the management basically stood behind that and said we reserve the right to deny even if you are one minute late. But no problem having you the parent wait. Cool cool. Ive never seen the same provider twice there very much a factory. We are at children's medical associates so far so good. I am willing to make the drive. Also considered going back to our DC pediatrician west end peds which is pretty good. The admin/medical records side of this practice also terrible. Playing phone tag with them to pay them to send the medical records. The cost varies by the number of pages of the record. Cool cool cool. I made the right decision switching!!!

We had the best experience! We met with Karen Johnson, MSN, CPNP. She was absolutely amazing…read more She did a thorough assessment and provided clear instructions on what to do. Our situation required a follow up the day after. Although she wasn't working the next day, she made sure another physician took a look at my daughter so that the following day they'd have a baseline to assess progress. She also went out of her way to call us and follow up a few days later just to make sure things were moving in the right direction. I highly recommend Karen and trust her with our care. She was a perfect example of the type of care and attention to detail you want from your medical provider.

And we are so blessed to have found her, she is an amazing doctor she takes her time, answers all questions and makes us feel welcome every time we have an appointment. I also love the way the office is set up and it is so convenient that she is the only doctor that works in the building so the wait time for being seen is very quick. And it makes the experience much more personal and not rushed. Not to mention the amazing office staff who always greet us with such kindness. They truly make the experience of bringing my daughter to the doctor so enjoyable. Thank you above and beyond for sticking to your word and being so amazing!

Had to update because we We LOVE Dr. Ariza and Elizabeth and the entire staff so much. We came here…read morewhen our daughter was one after a horrific experience at CP & A in Capitol Hill. Best decision ever. We now have two kids in Dr. Ariza's care and have been with them for 2 years. The office is more of a boutique than a sad or scary doctor's office. Decorated perfect for kids and very inviting. We have never had to wait long and both the ladies at the front desk and the Nurse Kadera (so sorry if I misspelled her name!) are great. Kadera is friendly, gentle and was able to draw blood from my 2 year old with no issues! She's seriously the best. She calls the kids friends and that in itself is such a gift. Dr Ariza is literally an angel. Very supportive of me as a mom and my kids adore her - enough that we play "Dr Ariza" every day. EVERY.DAY. She is a dream come true pediatrician and we feel so lucky to have her. She's brilliant, kind, helpful and supportive. And obsessed with her cool shoes. We have had to utilize the after hour calls a few times and she personally immediately calls back. If you have kids look no further - this is the best office in DC.

She is flexible with the in-home visit schedules and she also provides telehealth visits as needed. She has an easy to use electronic portal and secure messaging service which is a big must for good communication. Since we are in COVID times she wears a mask for her visits, wipes everything down cleanly, washes her hands, etc. And best of all she has been really attentive and caring. We are happy we found her.

It was so convenient to have her see our newborn in our home so we didn't have to expose him to other sick kids in a doctors office. I highly recommend this practice!

While I was pregnant with my first daughter, we were referred to Dr. Nguyen by a close friend. We…read moreabsolutely loved Dr. Nguyen and his team. He took great care of my daughter in her first two years of life. She always finds something entertaining in the waiting area, whether it was the TV or the giant fish tank. By the time our second daughter was born, we had moved to a new neighborhood so we switched to a practice that was closer to home. Otherwise, it was a 20-minute drive to Seven Corners. If you live in or near Seven Corners, I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen!

Now that I have 2 little boys (2 years old and 4 years old), I've had the opportunity to bring my 2…read moreboys to Dr. Lamson to get their COVID19 Vaccines (as our local pediatrics were completely out of vaccines). My 2 year old is highly afraid of Shots AND doctors, but Dr. Lamson was able to entertain the little guy enough where he allowed him to pull his pant leg up so that he could administer the vaccine on his thigh, he cried a bit, but after that, he wanted Dr. Lamson to play with him. My 4 year old, on the other hand, loved how Dr. Lamson installed a video game system in the waiting lobby and he also enjoyed the decorations that were put up in the patient room. He asked me if he could come here for his future wellness visits and we just might schedule both of their wellness visits here and just leave emergency and sick visits for our local pediatrics!

Your doctors are amazing but your front office is a nightmare…read more It is currently the morning of Labor Day. My 10 month old has a 103 fever and throwing up and we are trying to decide whether to go to the ER or not. Your website says you are closed today but "As always, a doctor is on call 24/7." Yet there is NO MENU OPTION on the phone to reach an on call physician like there usually is. You have likely lost our business for life.

After moving back to the area, we attempted to reestablish our children as patients. After a few…read morephone calls, we finally had a nurse return our call and register us. In the year we've been back, I think we snagged an in-person appointment one time. Our child's Lyme disease was diagnosed at urgent care. Meds refilled at urgent care. Vaccinations at urgent care. If you call, be prepared to be on hold for more than an hour. The patient portal is impossible to figure out, and there's no way to make an urgent sick visit appointment - since nobody answers the phone. We are transferring care elsewhere.

Dr. Welman is a GREAT pediatrician. She's got great bedside manner; she never rushes us (today we…read morehad a checkup and she held the baby for me while I changed my two year olds diaper and continued chatting about how to get the kids to sleep better--not at all rushing us out of the room). She really takes the time to make sure I feel confident taking care of my kids, and she's really, really good with them: patient, calming, and sweet. My two year old loves her. I think she's also a really top-notch diagnostician. My older daughter and I were really sick last year, and I'd been to my GP a few times for it, and they couldn't figure out what it was, but Dr. Welman knew what it was right away (and my doctor has been voted in the "top 100 in northern VA"...so, he's no slouch). I was a bit worried about finding a pediatrician that would be on the same page as me "philosophy" wise. Dr. Welman seems like she understands and takes into account the national recommendations for pediatric care (like for vaccines, etc.) but is also very practical and works with you to get the best care for your kids--like, I sheepishly admitted that I've been sleeping with the baby in my bed, even though the american academy of pediatrics says this is a heinous crime, and Dr. Welman was willing to talk it through with me and talk about how we can all sleep safely, without being narrowminded or judgmental. The Casey clinic is also an OB practice so while you're sitting in the waiting room, you're mostly around healthy people rather than sitting in a room full of people that are contagious with who-knows-what. I'm a bit of a germophobe and I don't freak out (too much) in the clinic's waiting room. It's not super kid-friendly (like, no toy areas, etc.) so you should probably plan to bring something to amuse your kids while you wait for your appointment, but honestly I'd rather do that than have a big area full of toys that sick kids go cough on. We've had to wait a while for some of our appointments, but we're usually running late so I'm guessing they take another patient while they're waiting for us. Today we were on time and they saw us pretty quickly.
