Do not take your child here. They have way too many patients, so it's very difficult to get an…read moreappointment. When you can get an appointment, it's unlikely you'll see the same doctor you saw the last time. Currently they have no availability for 2.5 months for an appointment, but also they don't schedule more than 3 months out. So if you go in for your 12 month, they won't let you schedule your 15 month so you have to wait a couple weeks and when you call they are all booked up. My child has seen his designated physician only a couple times and she's basically never available. So it's just a rotation of physicians. It's all fine when he's an infant young toddler but you just don't get the care and feeling you want for a young child. There's no relationship. That's just for planned visits. If your child is actually sick, and you need to see someone in short order, forget about it.

It's located right in Eastern Market close to Peregrine Coffee and other shops/restaurants in case you need something before or after your visit. It's in the basement of a building, but they make good use of their space. We've never had to wait long in the waiting area or on any doctors. We see Dr. Sims and she's great! The only downside is they are attached to Children's National, which we had an awful experience in their ER. Because of that, the pediatrician is okay with us going to Inova in Falls Church, Virginia if we ever need an ER again.

That written, the rest of the staff with whom we've interacted, including the reception desk and more particularly, the check out desk staff, are incredibly cold and unfriendly and in my view unprofessional. The caliber of staff and their professionalism reflects on any business, be it medical or retail, and given that the non medical staff are the ones parents routinely interact with, it's a real shame that we've been made to feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable when interacting with them. A real gem with this care provider is Dr. Omar. He's an incredibly professional and caring doctor who takes time to listen and chat with us and all our first-time-parents concerns. We feel our son is being very well cared for by Dr. Omar - thank you.

For example, they require 10 business days (2 weeks) to turn around a routine medical form for school or summer camp. AND THEY STILL DON'T MEET THIS TIMELINE.

We used to go to Capitol Hill, but the staff are not friendly and we weren't happy wit our doctor. The online portal is never helpful, but we decided to still use it to try another location. First of all, the online portal gave us the wrong address so we were late. There's never parking nearby so that took awhile. Once we checked in, we waited in the lounge for 1.5 hours before a nurse got us only to wait an addition 30 minutes in the exam room. However, the staff here are way nicer than Capitol Hill. It's much smaller, but they keep it clean and friendly.

He's great because he advocates for healthy alternatives instead of medicate, medicate, medicate. Relaxed and calming personality that puts children at ease. He's a big advocate of breastfeeding so don't expect him to hand out formula like some doctors do. Upfront, direct and honest. He always has an interesting story to share and is a great listener as well. Usually don't have a problem getting an appointment unless its right before the start of the school year. His staff is great, friendly and remembers each client as if they see us everyday. I wish he took adults!

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.

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.
