I have an autoimmune disease which causes fatigue, brain fog and pain, and I've had conventional…read morecare at Baltimore's most prestigious hospital . But for the last three years, I've lived with daily pain that no medicine could touch. At my first appointment with Dr Paddock, he listened to what was going on with me over the years and reviewed the years of lab work I brought in for him to see. He then ordered a few labs at a conventional provider (Lab Corp). The new labs showed I had an active virus, and some other endocrine and vitamin deficiencies that the conventional specialists had not considered testing for. Dr Paddock recommended a few natural supplements, a safe herbal based sleep medicine, and a referral to an expert chiropractor for women's musculoskeletal issues. Starting within two weeks of his treatment plan, most of my joint and back pain and sciatica had vanished, plus I regained the energy and mental sharpness that I thought I'd lost forever. I highly recommend this smart, insightful, and caring doctor. While I am still in touch with my conventional MDs, I feel that this naturopathic approach to health has really worked for me, and I will be a patient of Dr. Paddock for years to come.

I sought out Dr. Paddock because I was interested in finding a DC-area holistic doctor who is a…read morenaturopathic physician (they study similar things in medical school like MDs do, but they also learn lots about natural medicines, nutrition, and counseling) who also specialized in homeopathy. I've seen Dr. Paddock over the last two years to receive my constitutional homeopathic remedy and have noticed great improvements in my stress levels, feeling of well-being, and some skin complaints that I had since I was a kid. I've had lots of other doctors and counselors treat me in the past, which have all helped, but the homeopathic remedy that Dr Paddock prescribes completes the treatments and gets at a deeper level of healing in my opinion. Dr. Paddock's visits are great because he doesn't rush me and I feel well-cared for. He gives nutrition and exercise counseling as part of his whole picture of advice. He's very professional and remembers me each visit, which means a lot from a doctor. He works with my other providers too, which makes for a nice team. I can also schedule appointments online through his website. Overall, a great experience.

Family Medicine. Conveniently located on the UMMS campus, staffed by faculty and on the corner of…read morePratt & Paca Streets. The facility has 3 pods: A, B, & C for which patients are seen. They see patients by appointment and also walk-ins for those of whom are already established. There is also an employee quick clinic for those in campus. I am not new to the UMMS campus, facilities, faculty nor standard of practice. So understand, I say this with years of personal service including years of actual time worked on campus. This clinic has "cleaned up" a lot from what I recall. There was always a long wait and the clientele appeared suspect. Today, I went as a walk-in as I was sick and needed my medical treatment confirmed appropriate. This location used to be my PCP office before I switched. My current PCP is on maternity leave, so this was more convenient. I sign in as a walk in, I am then called and I am refused. The lady at the front desk, an older Hispanic woman with boxed colored golden hair said to me with a smug look wobbling her head, "yea, you can't be seen. You haven't been here in a while". So as I am face masked, with a raspy voice, I remind her that I'm sick and need an emergency appt as I'm a walkin and my office is with the system, but around the corner. She yells no and walks away. I call my PCP who inform me my earliest appt is 11Feb. I'm upset. Chest congestion, headaches, teeth in pain from the pressure, ear pain, sinus congestion... I know I'm in trouble, but what do I do? My mom, who had an appt that AM arrives and explains to the ladies that I'm very ill. They make me an appt for 3 hrs later. I then realize that the women all work smooshed to the left as far away as humanly possibly to the patient nazi who sat alone on the right. The three other front desk women never engage with her and never give her eye contact. As I waited, I see the Hispanic lady turn insurance having patients away. It's as if she gets a high out of it. As this place is not my first choice, I wouldn't encourage anyone to go here if they have to deal with that lady. I'm not sure her problem, but she needs to be eliminated from her position. She's a liability and she doesn't uphold the UMMS mission regarding patient care.

There are numerous doctors from which to choose and open access scheduling that allows you to see…read moreyour doctor, or someone on your doctor's treatment team, within 24hrs. There is also a walk-in clinic available for treatment without an appointment. It can get crowded, but wait times are usually short. They are efficient. I've never had to wait longer than an hour at most. I've had some great service here. The doctors are excellent and are not always rushed to get you in and out. I receive prompt call backs for test results and from the on-call doctor for after hours attention. When I was very sick recently, the on-call doctor opened the clinic on a weekend to see me personally. I'd say that's very exceptional. The great aspect of being a patient here is the access to other facilities at the hospital. If your doctor wants an X-ray or other imaging type, you get it the same day by walking over to the imaging center next door. The same goes for blood work. No making other appointments or heading to other facilities.

[Dr. Star was AMAZING!

The woman who called us back was nasty. She was NOT the doctor or PA- she called us back to say only my sick son could talk to them, that he needed an adult doctor and would not tell us the doctor he saw for his heart before. My son tried, sickly to ask all the questions he didn't really understand. I tried to ask through him since I have a medical background, but a feverish sick person can't easily relay questions. She was so horrible, she wouldn't help in any fashion. Her tone was clipped and intentionally sharp/mean-We needed guidance, and she told us to start from scratch though he is allowed to go to a pediatrician until 21. The man who answered the phone was great, this woman called us back and was not nice or compassionate at any moment. She must be the one they use to call with bad news.

Whatever you do, at least for OBGYN services, DO NOT SEE STEVEN MARTIN. Not only does he seem beyond under qualified to be handling a field such as this (and I asked him this exact question too, but funny, he could barely give a response). He is also extremely awkward and a bit rude. He seems to care less about patients and more about covering his own ass. Wrong diagnosis. More than once. Going back on his own words. No explanations regarding anything. I will never return and hope for the sake of others, you don't as well. Good luck though. Update: wow, so just letting everyone know that he misdiagnosed me (for the last time) again. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Dr. Lamson is the best doctor I've ever had --- easy to get through to make an appointment, easy to…read moreget referrals, he listens well, and he's very smart. He's one of those primary care doctors who chose primary care because they believe in it, not because they couldn't get into dermatology or surgery. He went to MIT for undergraduate and worked at MIT in computer science before computers were widespread, and he went back to medical school after a successful career in computer science. He's located at GBMC, and it's easy to get lab tests downstairs. Now that I've moved away, I'm having trouble finding a doctor who even comes close to measuring up.

That's what happens when a doctor takes the time to get to know a patient today, listen to all his/her concerns, address them, explain all the side effects of prescribed medications, etc. Dr. Lamson was a consummate professional who left left no symptom unaddressed, no illness undiagnosed before you left his office. Now I go to a doctor who sees me for 15 minutes, doesn't even listen to my heart or lungs even though I have had hypertension for 25 years, and double pneumonia twice, and throws me out of my office (times up!) before I can get my prescriptions refilled.

He's amazing and would get five stars on his own. Unfortunately... the rest of the place leaves something to be desired. The front desk staff is overwhelmingly Christian, which is perhaps to be expected from a pseudo-Catholic hospital affiliate. I'm sure that's great for their mental health, if not their eternal souls, but it does leave one with the issues one generally has with loudly-Christian folk, including self-righteousness, ableism, and homophobia. They've recently taken down the "inspirational" (read: prejudiced) printouts wallpapering many cubicles so we'll see how that goes. I have not had much luck here with specialists: My wife, a friend, and I have been refused exams (by different doctors) because of being overweight. I was told "fat people have pain" as if I am too stupid to tell the difference between mild arthritis and a displaced kneecap. Whoopsie! My wife was accused of drug-seeking after a brutal car accident; I got the same from a different doctor because I worked at a pharmacy for years and used the word "drug" instead of "medication" to describe my super-exciting and TOTALLY recreational cholesterol and blood pressure meds. Despite a pair of vicious surgery scars, I was informed that the surgery I had didn't exist. After I paid out of pocket for copies of 24-year-old paper medical records from a non-affiliated hospital, the doctor acknowledged that I had had the surgery but I just didn't know the right name for it. She refused to tell me the "correct" name. I could go on, and I could name names, but the bottom line is that this is a PERVASIVE issue in the culture of the practice. Patients are treated more like enemy combatants than partners in healthcare. There is a saying or belief in Baltimore about doctors. You go to Hopkins if you're good enough You go to University of Maryland if you can stand the politics You go to Mercy if you can stand the religious culture You go to GBMC if you can't stand either You go to MedStar if no one else will hire you ...Overlea just so often fails to live up to Mercy's place on that list.
