After Carefirst insurance, I paid $277. I booked a new patient appt online in the hopes of getting advice for psoriasis and a skin cancer screening. At intake, I was told they could only use the time to talk about one skin issue and could not perform a screening. Doctor was nice enough, but was not eager to look at my skin or linger during the appointment. She prescribed one expensive cream and two concentrations of hydrocortisone. I was told I had to book a secondary appt for a skin cancer check. Was also confused by the dr's location -- website said Foggy Bottom, but appt was in Bethesda.

As a result my blood sugar has always been very hard to control. I would highly recommend any diabetic who is seeking a new endocrinologist to see Dr. Sklar. I have seen several endocrinologists over the years, and in my opinion Dr. Sklar is the best in the area. He has a good bedside manner and seems to genuinely care for the health of his patients. I feel like he goes the extra mile in trying to determine the best medical advice for his patients. My blood sugar control has significantly improved since I started seeing him a few years ago. He is a very good doctor.

With comments like, "you haven't eaten breakfast have you?" "have you drank enough water today?" or "your veins roll too easily" ... I have had so many bruises and countless bad experiences over the 2 years I worked with them. I was once made to wait an hour and a half to be seen because I arrived 10 minutes late due to inability to find parking. No one explained why, or apologized. I asked multiple times why I was still waiting and they just kept telling me someone would see me soon. I did eventually have a successful pregnancy thanks to them, but now that I am looking to have a second child I will absolutely not be returning to SGF.

Just some context here - this office does not have a voicemail or messaging service. So in case you need to reach the dr or reschedule, unless someone picks up, you cannot. We tried to call 4 times to reschedule a dr appointment 3 days ahead of the appointmentand the office did not pick up. The day of the dr appointment, they call us and tell us they are charging us $75 fee. I politely suggested they need a phone messaging service and Ken yelled at me and said we need to find a new doctor then that has this service. Ken, sir, this is 2026. All doctors have some way to communicate with their patients and not through one person who does not pick up the phone. The audacity to charge us when it is their lack of customer service and then interrupt and yell at me when I was actually very nicely suggesting a message service. Incredibly rude, avoid this doctor office at all measures. They do not care about their patients.

Probably the worst, meanest back office medical staff in the city, and that's saying a lot. My…read morespouse has had appointments canceled on her unilaterally by this office and then offered new appointments months later. So when she needed her prescriptions renewed, they said she needed an appointment in person -- no video appointment -- before she could get her meds. The only way to get the prescriptions was if she paid $15 per prescription. Kafka couldn't have come up with a better scheme. Be very wary if this doctor. Avoid if you possibly can and only if you have no other choice. A friend asked for her annual physical from her and Dr Pineda refused we think because it doesn't reimburse enough from insurance.

Dr. Pineda clearly cares about her patients. She went out of her way to see me, prescribe me…read moremedications, and offer thoughtful care. However, I needed a greater focus on person-centric care. I would have preferred that the team asked me whether I wanted to 1) get so many tests done, 2) tinker with meds in general, and 3) discuss the cadence of visits that works for both of us. I really just wanted to get my medications refilled, and I ended up consistently feeling used for my $40 copay rather than seen as a individual deserving of patient-centered care. I can understand that offices are juggling many priorities, have limited funds, and may be understaffed. But this experience left me feeling incredibly frustrated. It was very difficult to navigate prescription refills. When can I get a refill vs. need a new prescription? When do I need to be seen in order to get my medication vs. can get a prescription called over the phone? It was incredibly difficult to figure this out with the staff. A ton of calling back and forth, getting put on hold, etc. I understand that the US healthcare system is frustrating and broken. But my experience with this office felt particularly emblematic of the problems of the healthcare system. This office seriously needs to be better care coordination, person-centered care, and communication with patients.

Responding to GWs request to leave a review of my visit to the 6th floor dermatology: My first (and…read morewonderful) experience in this office is what drove me to my second visit, and my second visit was not great and I will not be a returning patient. I'm rating as a 2 because I was seen by the provider and my concern was addressed. 1. Entering the office, someone from GW was at the front desk talking to the receptionist. I (the only patient at 745am) sat and waited several minutes for their conversation to end. It struck me as odd that they would not opt to check in a patient first, then proceed to finish their conversation. It was definitely odd from a patient sat standpoint. 2. Instead of someone coming out to the front to greet me, they yelled my name from somewhere in the back office. I felt like a child being yelled at by my mother in another room in a house. It actually took me a minute to realize they were talking to me because of how inappropriate this behavior was. As someone who has visited many medical spaces for myself and supporting physicians, this was an absolute and shocking first. After realizing I was being called, I said, 'yes', and was advised to 'come back'. I had not been to this office in over a year, and had only been once, I had no idea where I was going. 3. The overall feeling of this office space was cold and lacking any warmth or positive energy. I left feeling like I had done something wrong because I had felt an overall sense of annoyance. After many days of this visit being on my mind, it seems like there had been some changes since last year that definitely affected this space. It was no longer cheerful, warm, or happy. I was relieved to walk out of there.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lee for over 15 years, starting from his practice being a rowhouse in…read moreChinatown to his present location. Trust me, he hasn't changed in all those years. He is the most patient, knowledgeable doctor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about me and when an occasion comes when I have to see a specialist, I can count on him to (1) send me to someone as professional and caring as he, and (2) be knowledgeable of their recommended treatment and encourage me to follow through, especially when he senses my hesitation. He has never steered me wrong. Now, needing to see another specialist, Dr. Lee has recommended me to someone I feel comfortable that has my best interests at heart. I can't say enough good things about him and know that I will be in his practice for as long as he will have me, which I am hoping will be a long time in the future. His wife, also a doctor, is great, personable, knowledgeable and very patient, although I have not had an occasion to see her in years. All in all, Drs. Lee are the best in DC. Anytime your pharmacist recognizes his name and says good things about him, you know he is well thought of by many and you are in good hands.

Ramey…read more Dr Ramey was good to explain general things about my new health problem and he was really good in monitoring my thyroid levels and adjusting doses of medicine... meaning I felt really good while I was having him as a doctor. He was also good, in comparison to other doctors I am currently seeing, and had sent the lab results after every blood work. Unfortunately he does not accept my new insurance so I had to change my endocrinologist. The only thing that was a bit strange is that he never suggested doing ultrasound or had checked my overall levels of hormones and vitamins (which careful doctor should do) and he did whatever I asked him to check... meaning if I had never asked he would had never recommend it.
