    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.

    From the front desk staff to seeing Dr. Levine this place is soo great. The staff is very polite…read moreand Dr. Levine was nice and very thorough with his care of my feet and toes. Thank you guys and see you again in two months!

    Dr. Levine was our go-to podiatrist for many years. Until our recent visit, he's been capable and…read morewarm--the doctor you hope you'll encounter when you have a problem. But our opinion of him has changed. Recently, we saw Dr. Levine to discuss some joint pain my wife was having. Dr. Levine said she had three options, in this order: 1) Surgery 2) An injection (I'm assuming cortisone) 3) Or wearing special shoes that would hopefully provide relief. We chose to try the shoes before surgery or a "shot." Dr. Levine told us to go to a shoe store called Shoe Fly in Frederick, MD, and buy a brand of "Hoka" walking shoes. I asked if the shoes were also sold on Amazon. Dr. Levine suddenly said, "Full disclosure: I have an ownership interest in Shoe Fly." Hmmm...wasn't that something he should have told us earlier? When I asked him that a couple of weeks later, he agreed, that was something that ethically he should have mentioned. So, a once very good doctor has apparently decided that being forthright about his "double dipping" from his patients is perfectly fine. It's not. People have a right to know that he profits from his patients' purchases made at that store. That way, they'll be more inclined to shop around for the best price. That's just common sense. Aside from this, my wife felt the overall treatment Dr. Levine provided wasn't satisfactory. She left in as much pain as she was in when she arrived, with instructions to buy expensive shoes at a store he owns to an extent (it must be a large extent, because he said his picture hangs on the wall). Our experience shows what may happen when doctors "operate" in their own little world, expecting that as doctors their patients will unquestionably follow their advice, as after all, they're the doctor. Sorry, it's a different world. People have more options. And they are better informed now thanks to the Internet (assuming they've visited reputable sites such as the Mayo Clinics' or Johns Hopkins', or the Cleveland Clinics'). And they may no longer blindly follow their doctors' advice without asking some questions. Our acupuncturist told us at our first appointment that: "You must be your own doctor." You have the right and responsibility to question a doctor about anything you don't understand, or whatever treatment options you may have. It's your health after all, and no one is more interested in that than you.
