The OBGYN refused to refill my prescription because my blood pressure was too high for her-but for some reason she didn't get what I was going through. She said she wanted to talk to my psychiatrist before she approved the pill. She pushed IUD's on me. I kept telling her that's not what I want. The receptionist was rude. They took down the number for my psychiatrist but I guess they never called. I kept calling to check up on the status, but eventually just gave up. Had to find a new OBGYN. I reviewed her on ZocDoc and gave her a positive review. Think I'm going to delete it. Yeah, I was going through a lot and like most doctors I've encountered they are just not trained to handle withdrawal and Akathisia.

In October 2020, I visited this in-network provider for simple Lab work. The visit was generally…read morefine and I never met with the lead practitioner because well it was a simple lab work being done. Fast forward months later, I see that there's a lab claim on my insurance for $1,500+ and that it's my full responsibility. How can this be, if I went to in-service medical provider? Well, apparently this provider only uses one lab called bio-reference lab unless explicitly expressed by the patient to use another. This is the most backwards ass thing I have ever experienced. How can you as a provider not do your due diligence to see where my lab work needs to go? Why is that my responsibility. Why wait for some nonsense like this to happen, when you could tackle the issue on the front end? Now there's a huge possibility that I have to pay this large bill for SIMPLE LAB work because office assistants don't want to go the extra mile to check. It's disgusting as hell and I know this issue is a massive problem within the American Healthcare itself. Providers need to do better. I'm a 23 year old woman that is new to the healthcare insurance enrollment period (that typically occurs in September/October) so if you refer back to my date of service you could see that this is months into using my new insurance after being on my parents. Why must people advocate for themselves when providers should be doing their damn jobs to make sure things like this don't happen. I had one of the office assistants tell me that they don't check the specific labs that will accept a patients lab work. WELL, I'm requiring and urging you all to implement better practices within your office. There's no way WORKING PEOPLE should be stressed about paying medical bills due to your error and lack of care. I pray I am able to beat this, and that nobody comes after me later down the road. I'm simply not coming back here. I'm sure the doctors here do great work, but it was the lack of care from this office that has made me very very cautious of where I go now.

Imagine my stress when moving and looking for a new GYN after recently having a baby. I started with this practice in 2013. I've seen both Dr. Rogers and Dr. Scartiscini (and his daughter, the NP). Dr. Scartascini is gentle, humble, very smart, and probably approaching retirement. He is well liked and it's easy to see why. He has a lot of cultural competence and I appreciate that. Dr. Rogers...well, he seems a little prick-ish, but I like him. His demeanor can be somewhat like 'ewww...I don't wanna touch vaginas' but he takes you into his office and THOROUGHLY explains everything in detail with tons of options. I think he's better as a researcher or professor (not patient facing). The Greenbelt office is old, small, parking is horrific and it doesn't feel like somewhere you'd want to be. Bowie office is behind the Bowie health center near the shopping center where Macy's, etc is. Not a bad location, but the building is just odd. New construction appearance but a closed floor plan. Makes it feel secluded and not a lot of access to natural light. It's a little scary walking up the stairwell to the second floor. Eekk. The biggest problem with this practice is THE PRACTICE. The staff is horrible, the wait time on the phone is horrible, the wait time for appointments is horrible, the disposition of the staff is horrible......I do NOT see how people deal with this.

My experience was exactly the opposite of several other reviews. I had the best experience ive had…read moreat an obgyn since moving to MD. I was ignored and abused at KP before finding a new place. Luckily I did not read the reviews here before making my appointment here because either things changed since they were written or people based everything on one bad reception experience and not on the dr care. I felt so different like i was finally seen here where at other places i was put off, bounced around and received conflicting information. Ive only been twice and attended a support group talk that i was very excited to be invited to as i was in dire need of real information without being inundated with commercial angles or any BS. So far I am very happy with this clinic and found it clean, personable, professional and the fact that they spent so much time with me to hear my overwhelming case history was a pleasant surprise. I assume its why they suggested her group to me. I will be returning there and also very interested in utilizing her free menopause support podcast / zoom group again since i have no family or friends to speak with plainly. I found the doctors detailed medical info very much on the nose with what i needed to know and the shared antidotal info (from other patients) was extremely helpful during this trying time. It was such a great feeling to hear with all my symptoms my quality of life was important and any uncomfortableness i am feeling is not an overreaction in anyway! It was very nice to have the option of such a practical tool while i am struggling most - especially from non-judgmental woman who really listened and clarified so many questions I had. And no i am not a shill. I do not work for her and was not paid for this review. I am just thankful to finally get help instead of hurt worse like KP did. Such stress relievers here at this office! Id honestly suggest other clients giving them a 2nd chance. And if they can find better id really like to know where instead of complaints! Btw i just realized this is her 2nd location where i visited the Columbia office so maybe thats the issue.

A few years back I was…read morelooking for an OB/GYN doctor in Columbia, Md. because I was interested in tubal ligation, I came across Women's Wellness, scheduled an appt and saw Dr. Okasi- we talked about my medical history and got into tubal ligation, she stated that at my age (mid 30's) it would be a higher risk for me to get TL and how it could cause more damage to me and although she would not perform TL on me she would refer me to a doctor with more experience in that area who could probably help me. I took her word (afraid of risk) fast forward 2026 I'm 43 feeling very fatigue, brain fog, unexplained headaches etc. I expressed how my body had been feeling off one day at work and my supervisor suggested that I see a hormone specialist as she had been experiencing some of the same symptoms and found out she had a hormonal imbalance so I should look into because regular blood test will not show hormone levels there are specific test. I look for hormone specialist in Columbia, md and come across Women's Wellness , schedule appointment, get there and realize I had been here years prior but what the heck I'm here for a new issue. I wasn't seen by Dr. Okasi initially but the provider that I had did listen and we talked and she let me know my next steps, what test would be ordered and some other options I could take in regards to abnormally heavy menstrual cycles that I have been experiencing. I go through all test and exams it's time for follow up visit (telehealth) Once the appointment starts I notice a different doctor ( Dr. Okasi) and I'm a little thrown off because I expect it to be the provider I saw or be advised who would be going over my results with me prior to appointment ...anyway Dr. Okasi starts talking about my appointment years ago tubal ligation small talk but her cell phone rings ,she tells me one sec mutes and takes call...I sit on video just watching and waiting as she converses. When she's done she starts in on hysterectomy and ablations and how with my previous medical history ablation is off the table (c-section) and as far as a hysterectomy "she's not gonna do a hysterectomy on me and then I come back to her talking about she messed up this and that" I was a little taken back because that's exactly how she said it! " with your scar tissue your bladder is probably all the way up in there and can be affected during procedure" I'm looking and thinking wht the heck is going on, she proceeds to say you should take birth control pills to control some of the bleeding get an IUD ..I say " I've had in the past and had to have it removed because it wasn't good for me her response "get it again" ...huh?! or take the pill ....I'm literally starring and she says I'll give you a referral to another doctor ...referral reason says pt wants hysterectomy for bleeding..... not pt has fibroids, possible perimenopausal...etc. Ma'am, did my labs read normal? She did not go over the specific test, ranges ..a little high on the cusp nothing just said I know you see the internet talking about hormone imbalance but that's not real ... I said so your saying with all the symptoms I'm having it's normal? Your B12 is extremely high ...I ask why am I so tired still then ...so your saying all my test were normal? again she never really answers but says your blood work is like the bloodwork of a woman who's had a baby and lost a lot of blood ..... again!! Is that normal? Just take birth control pills you're gonna feel so much better and get an iron infusion. This whole appointment felt unprofessional, I left confused, questions unanswered, things unexplained just a mess ....literally the whole time my mind was racing and telling me never comeback here again. Her whole demeanor was so off putting. just eewww, money waisted Never again!

My concerns were not taken seriously, and the lack of compassion I encountered left me feeling completely alone during a very vulnerable time. Because my symptoms were not addressed in a way that made me feel cared for or properly guided, my condition worsened to the point that I ultimately required "a procedure that ended my ability to carry a pregnancy". This has had a profound impact on my life, and I will always associate that outcome with the way my care was handled. Based on my experience, I would NEVER recommend Dr. Rodgers to other women seeking attentive, empathetic, and responsive medical care.

I got there on time for my first appointment and still had to wait over an hour to be seen as well, followed by the most painful pap smear I've ever experienced. Also, just found out today I owe $115 for the "follow-up appointment" that SHOULD have been a phone call. It took a total of 5 minutes to review and the doctor was rude and dismissive with my questions. I've never heard of a doctor charging to go over results, let alone over $100 for it.

I contacted their billing office and explained I wanted my test results, the billing guy said he would relay the message. I never got a call back. I visited the Family Medicine office across the hall from them (whom they had referenced me to) and explained the situation--they said their would contact the office on my behalf. I never got a call back. Fast forward today- I revived a bill from Labcorp--this office billed me $614 for testing I never received. In fact, my insurance BCBS has already paid $525 for the testing which I never received. I called Labcorp who gave me their testing line. Labcorp will mail the results to me, of course I will have to analyze and interpret the results myself. This is the most incompetent doctor's office I have ever been to. That's saying a lot since I'm in the healthcare industry. I will not be back and I will also be changing the family doc, as I don't want to have anything further to do with these people.
