    I have been coming to Family Healthcare for almost a decade I think. I was very surprised by the…read morelow rating so decided to leave a review of my experience. Throughout the years, I agree with a few of the reviewers in that administratively, Family Healthcare has gone down. Previously, I did not feel as rushed and interactions seemed more personable. I can only assume that maybe they have more patients now and may need better front desk hospitality. I kind of feel many doctors offices in the area are becoming this way. There is a general feeling of over busyness leading to administrative inattentiveness and longer wait times. I also think this happens at offices where providers are highly sought. So why the 5-star rating? My rating is based on the individual provider. I would rate Dr. Rita Sharma a solid 5 stars. I wish she still saw patients at the Olney office which I feel was more organized. She is always willing to pass on the knowledge she has and is personable. She is also very familiar with other specialist in the area and can direct to you one who has the experience needed for any medical issue you have.

    This review is based on my experiences at the Germantown office, which I have visited several…read moretimes. During each visit, I have tried to give the front desk staff the benefit of the doubt, recognizing that they may have had difficult interactions earlier in the day or may simply be having a challenging day. However, my repeated experience has been that the front desk staff could demonstrate more professionalism and courtesy. They do not consistently greet patients when they enter, and the question, "Are you here for an appointment?" is often delivered in a flat and unfriendly tone. As a result, I have felt unwelcome and uncomfortable, as though I should not be there. Simple courtesies such as saying "hi", "good morning," "please," and "thank you" would also make visiting the doctor's office a better experience. I believe additional training in professionalism, customer service, and common courtesy would help improve the patient experience.

    If you have health concerns, please find a legitimate healthcare provider, definitely not these…read moreguys. If you are healthy, you may go there for a National Geographic documentary about water buffaloes. This office is laughable. The doctors are subpar, but I am not even going to write about that anymore. We do not expect great service here, but then you should not be charging the same as other doctors who actually provide good medical care. You are not even close. Why are you charging the same amount for this kind of substandard, below-average, inferior healthcare service? Now, this review is about the front desk. Others have written plenty about the doctors. It seems they forgot to write about the front desk, so this review aims to fill that gap. You have got to love the front desk. If you replaced them with a couple of fast-moving snow monkeys, the patients would probably be happier. The monkeys would not be able to solve any problems either, so at least there would be no loss of service, and there would be some entertainment while you guys make us wait 45 minutes or so. To be fair to the snow monkeys, unlike you guys at the front desk, after a few weeks of training, they might actually start solving some of the problems. My lil' friends, I am not sure if you are doing this as charity work, but I assume they actually pay you a salary. We are not asking for miracles here. Nobody expects you to perform surgery at the front desk. Answer the phone, pay attention to the patient, and occasionally solve a basic administrative problem. We can start there. If avoiding work and being incompetent were Olympic events, I am fairly confident this front desk would bring home a medal.

    When I made my appointment, nobody told me my insurance was not accepted. Of course, the…read moreappointment was made through an automated system which is frustrating in itself. The manager simply with no apology just said : "We don't work with these guys!" This was very upsetting! I would never recommend this practice.

    Finally found physical therapist Daniel Ontiveros here after 2 hip surgeries followed by a knee…read moreinjury caused by the Medstar Rehab I had been using that put right knee in a brace. It was an overdue stroke of luck! Unlike other locations, including the Rockville location of this firm, he did not bring up a computer program, type in relevant joint and run me through what program queued up. He carefully crafted a regimen tailored to my problems using a paper chart involving a lot of exercises that didn't come up with computer program, and slowly progressed me without causing any new injuries or problems, more than making up for functional losses accumulated over prior year in 12 weeks. He worked with me personally for at least first half hour of every hour, and actually supervises the PT assistants for second half hour. I can't say enough good things about Daniel. Also, location has moved, so address above is incorrect.

    Dr. Levin, at The Orthopaedic Center, is **EXCELLENT**! He is caring, interested, and very…read morecommunicative. He explains things well and always shares views of my images, pointing out areas of concern and interest. He answers all questions to my satisfaction, assumes I am intelligent enough to understand what he says, but patiently explains when I do not. He always greets me with a warm, welcoming smile--even when I know he is having a hectic day. He has performed two surgeries for me, after attempting to relieve the problems with therapies of one sort or another. I have had no complications with either surgeries, recovery time, or follow-up. He is willing to admit when an issue or problem is out of his purview and ready to refer to whom he feels is the best to handle it. Dr. Levin's direct assistants are friendly, helpful, and efficient. The front office staff could be a bit friendlier and welcoming, especially in the Germantown office where I most frequently see him, but they are not rude or impolite. I most heartily recommend him to anyone needing his specialized services.

    Dr. Zarick's insight into my medical case would years later come back to help me. If she hadn't…read moretaken the time to listen, and process all of the information, I wouldn't still be here today. In 1991, when I was 16 years old, I was experiencing a number of strange infections. At once point, she pulled my mother aside and said "your daughter has a severe ecoli infection in her vagina, and she doesn't have a fever or an elevated white cell blood count, and that isn't normal". Unfortunately, my mother (for reasons perhaps only a psychologist can help me with), blew it off, attributing it to just normal growing whatever, but Dr. Zarick was insistent that there was something wrong (and that I needed to follow up with my normal pediatrician). This is significant, because as the years past the problem became worse and worse, my infections more extreme and scary, and as doctors kept asking me about my past, I slowly started to remember...'wait a minute, there was this one doctor at Centreville Urgent Care who was very concerned about me...' And then when I finally got my hands on some of my old records, there it was--yeast infections, bronchitis, strep throat, and of course the ecoli infection i cultured positive for without the corresponding elevated wbc seen in most normal people... She was working at the Urgent Care, but if she hadn't taken the time to think about what was going on with me, and alert my mother (a conversation they had in the hallway outside of the room I was in, which thankfully I overheard), I wouldn't be here today. She was the first physician to know something was wrong, and speak up about it. When I stumbled upon a more recent review written by a patient of hers that said the same positive things I felt about her, I was very glad to read she's still practicing medicine with the same heart and soul she had back when I was younger.

I am now getting relief have hope I will soon be able to use my left leg again! I wish she could be my primary care doctor!
