TL;DR version -- avoid Dr. Andrew Jones at this practice…read more I'm writing this review on behalf of my mother, who was treated by nurse practitioners and PA's in this office for 8 years but earlier this year after the treatment she had received prior no longer worked and she had extreme pain, she was advised to see a doctor. I will start by saying my father has also seen Dr. Jones a few times and actually had him perform a total right knee replacement earlier this year and has had a full recovery. Outside of Jones being illusive in answering the question on when my dad could begin driving again in a post-op visit, he had a mostly positive experience with him. But after the experience my mom had, he's considering leaving Jones' care as well. At her first visit with Jones, he diagnosed her hip condition advised PT and exercise. She went to PT and as they started to work with her, she again experienced severe pain and the PT advised an MRI and to have someone with an unbiased opinion review as she didn't think the pain was in her hip but in her back. My mom did as she suggested and had Dr. Matthews (in this practice) review the MRI who diagnosed her with a few back problems and advised that she see a pain specialist. My mom scheduled the earliest available appointment, 2+ months later. She scheduled another appt. with Jones to discuss her pain in the interim. My mom went in and asked the simple question, "is the pain being caused by my hip or my back?" Well, it seems as though other medical professionals providing second opinions on patient care rubs this guy the wrong way. He was incredibly unprofessional, going on a tirade about the opioid epidemic in this country and essentially acused my mom of being a pill seeker. My mother can barely walk up the stairs and struggles sleeping through the night, I assure you she's simply seeking relief from her daily pain and to sleep better. He also demanded that she go sit in her PCP's office until they gave her sleeping pills (after this, she consulted with them and they told her it was Jones who had to manage the pain). My mother walked out in the midst of her appointment in tears and is now seeing a doctor outside of Frederick who is actively working with her to manage her pain and determining next steps in her treatment.

Had a 10:40 am appointment @ The Mount Airy, Md office with Dr. Kowalk…read more This was to be my first visit arrived @ 10:30 with all my paperwork correctly filled out & X-rays in hand! as of 11:45 still 2nd in line to see the Dr. Was told by the receptionist that the Dr. "Tends To Run A Little Behind" I will never go back!

I'm very conflicted writing this review, but here it is:…read more First, the good: Dr. Gwinn is an excellent surgeon. He is clearly very skilled and knowledgeable, and he immediately instilled confidence. Having this surgery was a major decision, and Dr. Gwinn put me at ease, and I believe I made the right decision choosing him for this procedure. I also have nothing but good things to say about his PA. If you choose MMI, you will likely receive quality medical care. Now, the bad: Quite literally, everything else. I have never experienced this much frustration dealing with a medical office staff. Communication is pretty much nonexistent, and when you do reach someone, most of the time they pass the buck, say your issue is not their department, and then blind-transfer you to a voicemail box. That voicemail will not be returned. You will have to call back over and over again, and even after explaining that your voicemail was never returned, you will simply be blind transferred to the same voicemail again, ad nauseam. This is true of scheduling, medical questions and concerns, administrative issues, etc. This is beyond frustrating, especially while recovering from major surgery and navigating other issues such as FMLA concerns. Also, if you need any forms filled out, they will nickel-and-dime you. Need a one-pager stating that you are medically fit to return to work after FMLA, that's $10, need another form, that's $10, even if you download it digitally. I'm not really concerned about the small fee, but it seems petty, especially considering I'm continuing to have and pay for follow-ups with the doctor. It's just another example of a top-down culture that seems to be anything but customer-focused. Again, I'm grateful for the quality medical care I've received from Dr. Gwinn. That being said, I think the way this practice is run is detracting from that care. As frustrating as the totality of my experience has been with MMI, it's unlikely I would recommend the practice to a friend, family member, or colleague.

Almost 7 months ago I ended up in Frederick Memorial Hospital with a trimalleolar ankle fracture…read more I was in tremendous pain and very scared and at the mercy of whatever surgeon was on call that day. Thank heavens it was Dr. Kowalk! He explained the injury to me very well and the surgery that was highly recommended/necessary to fix it. My surgery went smoothly with screws and plates installed and he monitored my recovery as well. As early as 3 months after the surgery I was back to taking walks and shortly thereafter was back to vigorous activity at the gym. My ankle is as close to perfect as I can imagine after such a serious injury. I am forever grateful for the person who fixed it. He did a tremendously good job.

Were other drs would have become fed up with the lack of significant progress, she is still as congenial as she was at my first appoinment.

The staff here is also amazing. They are courteous, well-organized, and extremely helpful.

If I ever exercise, I need to put on Biofreeze on my back to numb the pain. Then I went to Brian at Red Canyon who was referred by my neighbor because I was planning to get pregnant at 40 years old. I thought there was no way that I can carry a baby full term with a back in that condition. He diagnosed my long-term problem the first session and came up with a plan from the first session. No time/money wasted! He used dry needles and I could feel the pressure released from my back. That felt like 20 years of pressure released! He also gave me instructions to work on my core and back. Within 4 sessions, my pain went away 80%. And with the next couple of sessions, I became pain free 100%. Now I can go to the gym ever day and do weight lifting without any pain in my back! Sometimes I feel mad that I waited so long before I went to see Brian! Highly highly recommended!
