While the overall experience I've had visiting Mercy Personal Physicians at Glen Burnie has been…read moregood, this review is in regards to the lab work section of the office. In the three separate times I've visited to get my labs drawn, the woman working at that desk always seems annoyed with each person who approaches her. In my case, and what I believe is the standard case of each patient, we are told to go directly to the waiting room and wait for your name to be called since the labs are already in the system. On this occasion, two people did not follow those directions. The woman at the desk made a comment after the second person "ITS ALREADY STARTING". Unnecessary and rude. I approached her after she called my name and told her good morning, met with no response. I can speak for myself when I say, blood draws give me anxiety and I don't like them. Would it be so difficult to respond to the patient with a good morning? I expect so much more from Mercy, their Drs and nurses are phenomenal. They need to do better with their employees who work in the lab room..

The shower…read morein my dorm was extremely dirty, as if it got cleaned once every 6 months, and the shampoo was so awful I'm convinced it permanently ruined my hair. Me and several other patients were also given spoiled milk frequently, and the doctor downplayed it and acted like we were being whiney for asking for stomach meds afterwards. The social workers are manipulative and rude, and will lie about stuff your family said about you, and stuff you said about your family. I also had a stalking incident and they defended everything the stalker did, saying "everyone is at a different point of recovery". It took my parents calling them multiple times a day for 3 days in a row for them to do anything about it, and that still didn't stop her from assaulting me and 2 other people. I was punished for saying I was feeling unsafe at the hospital because of it (being kept there longer despite discharge being planned for sooner). In general, they'll try and keep you there as long as they can even if you're stable so they can milk your insurance for more money. I was there for 3 weeks.

During my recent visit, my son was experiencing a fever and an itchy throat. When the nurse…read moreattempted to conduct a strep test, my son--who is seven years old--refused. Rather than taking time to speak with him or help him feel comfortable, the nurse immediately stopped the process, stating, "We don't force kids or hold them down." I was not asking for that; I simply expected some effort to encourage him so we could determine whether he had strep and needed antibiotics. When the doctor entered, she recorded everything on her iPad. She asked whether my son had a fever, and when I answered yes, she questioned it by asking if he felt hot. After I confirmed that he did, she stated that this did not constitute a fever. I understand she is the medical professional, but I am familiar with how my son's body responds to illness, and I felt dismissed and unheard. The nurse later returned to perform COVID and flu tests. When my son again refused, she immediately left the room without attempting to reassure or engage with him. At that point, I felt that my concerns were not being addressed and that my time was being wasted, so we chose to leave. We then visited Gambrills Urgent Care, where the staff handled the situation appropriately and completed the necessary testing. This was my second negative experience at this location. During a previous visit, the physician informed me that my test results had "nothing to do with her" and implied that I should not hold her responsible for them, which I found unprofessional. Since the management change, the quality of care has noticeably declined, and I am concerned about the level of professionalism demonstrated by both the doctors and nurses. I do not plan to return.

My full review for the hospital:…read more We LOVED our birthing experience at Washington Medical. We are so grateful and speechless regarding the process (read the whole review!) Our doctors (Dr. Emarievbe (delivery) and Dr. Gardener (receiving and triaging) were OUTSTANDING. Knowledgeable, caring, and wonderful bedside manners. They made us feel at ease and we can honestly say this was the BEST hospital experience we have ever had. I can not thank our RNs enough. Especially Kelsey (receiving), Dena (delivery), and Margaret (post delivery care). These ladies deserve medals. Dena in particular cared for my family as if we were her own. She was absolutely incredible and we were so thankful to have her as our delivery RN. In addition, we also spoke to different staff members during our stay. Alexis (RN) helped us with nursing. Pediatricians stopped by just to check up on us, and two amazing staff members did my child's audio assessment and screening. I wish I took better notes on everyone's names. Five stars. All the way. If you have the chance of delivery here, I would not think twice. Get to know the staff and let them know they are true heroes. If I forgot anyone, I am so sorry. You all are amazing. Love, Lincoln's parents

I'm so glad that I have went with another group and can use their radiology. Not once, but three…read moretimes now I have been overcharged, getting a check back from them. The one about three years ago I got was sizable. I got a check in the mail today that the service was performed 4/29/24 and I just got it in the mail today which is the 28th of May 2025. Totally unacceptable. This comes from our HSA and apparently Advanced is so money hungry that they have to have it right then! Why not reverse the amount to the member's card or put a hold on it until it's paid....no, they don't do that. My daughter in law has had the same experience as I did coming off the card and her insurance paid for it totally. She too was hacked over this. Oh well, it works just fine now because the new group actually sends a bill and I pay it as soon as I get it. As for my care, experiences have always been somewhere between great and meh....a lot more of meh though. I've had a number mammographies that I thought they were going to kill me....and just when you thought they got what they were looking for, they call you back for a rescreen. Haven't had that so far with my new place. Time will tell...I just know that they have been much more caring than the majority of techs I've had at Advanced.
