    A previous doctor told me i needed to get my gall bladder removed. 2 years later i visited Dr…read more Kravitz. He advised me that unless i was in frequent pain there was no reason to undergo surgery. Well, i appreciate his honest and candid nature. I trust this man. Thank you Dr. Kravitz.

    I had a great experience with Dr. Kravitz when I visited in April of 2024. So I actually flew in…read morefrom Florida because the all in cost was literally half what it would cost me to have it done locally. I had already been diagnosed with a left inguinal hernia before making the trip and I flew in the night before surgery. I came in the next morning and Dr. Kravitz explained in detail the procedure and answered all of the questions that I had. I was a little concerned about this being an open surgery vs laparoscopic based on things that I had read about the recovery being longer but when he explained that it was actually better it put my mind at ease. I was already committed to doing it anyways but it was reassuring to hear. Because of the fact that I was doing the operation on the same day of the consultation it was actually Dr. Lawrence Starin who did the operation a few hours after my meeting with Dr. Kravitz. I knew this going in and I had no issues with it because he had great reviews as well. Everything with the pre-surgery routine was seamless and I got to speak with Dr. Starin for a few minutes before I was put under for surgery. He was very friendly and open to talk with and I knew I would be in great hands under his care. When I woke up I was feeling pretty good and didn't have any pain at all because of the meds that I was on. It wasn't until that night when the pain killers wore off that I started to feel some real pain and it definitely wasn't fun but I would say it was manageable for most people. I ended up flying home early the next morning about 14 hours after surgery. I was a little nervous about this because I had been told that flying so quickly after surgery is a bad idea but it ended up being fine. I even drove home from the airport which was about an hour from my house and I managed to do it without much issue. I wouldn't necessarily recommend going this route but if you have a tight schedule to make everything work I'd say go for it if it helps you save thousands of dollars like I did. As for my overall recovery I'm extremely pleased with how everything went. There was some pain and numbness in the weeks following but I did my best to take it easy to make sure my recovery went smoothly. Because I was long distance traveling and in and out very quickly I didn't have the opportunity to have any kind of post surgery check up but Dr. Kravitz did call me a week after surgery to check up on me which I appreciated. As of writing this it's been about 4 months and I've been completely back to normal for probably about 2 months. Overall everything went about as well as I could have hoped and I highly recommend both Dr. Alan Kravitz and Dr. Lawrence Starin to anybody who is on the fence. Wendee, their assistant, was also very helpful in setting everything up and answering my questions.

    In most aspects it is your standard OneMedical office. The providers are nice and punctual, it is…read morereasonably accessible by metro, sits across from county public parking, and even has appointments on Saturdays. It's also one of the OneMedical offices with a pediatric practice. So why only 3 stars? The lab, especially on weekends, is a calamity. One time my wife had to wait *an hour* to do a simple lab test. Another time it was an unnecessary wait and hassle just to pick something up from the lab. Honestly, if you anticipate needing lab work on a weekend, you may want to consider another location unless you're out of choices. I'm not sure what's going on as neither of us has ever waited more than a few minutes for the lab at any other location. I shudder to think what it would be like if you had to wait an hour with your sick child. With that caveat, if you don't need lab work on a weekend, I wouldn't hesitate to go to this OneMedical location and expect their usual high quality of service and care.

    The Bethesda location for One Medical gets 5 stars from me. I'm surprised that they haven't been…read morereviewed yet. In general, I like the integration of the app & telehealth with the office and the idea of a more personalized focus on primary care that One Medical provides. Specifically, I like this location where the staff are all very nice and welcoming. It seems like the staff really care about improving health and "taking care" of you. I tried out the Chevy Chase location last year and had a bad experience with a shockingly rude doctor that surprised me. If I went into detail about what happened there, you would be appalled. I've been to the Bethesda location a lot and they have been great every time. If I had only experienced the Chevy Chase location, I would have quit this program but I've been consistently happy with Bethesda. I haven't tried other locations but the model is that they are a different experience than your average primary care medical office. They are very prompt, stylish and offer the choice between in-person services and telehealth. Prior to One Medical, I had a less than stellar experience with a primary care doctor in a different system. When I say that I've been consistently happy with this Bethesda office, I don't say that lightly. It is pleasant and convenient.

    I've been a pt at this office for a few years, and I have had good experiences with both doctors…read moreI've seen there. It's so convenient to have the lab in the same office.

    God awful appointment at the Rockville location! I mean I didn't think it would be so terribly…read moredreadful. Last night I really had to sleep on this before posting this review, but surely after a goodnight's rest I thought no one should have to endure a 1st appointment like this. From the moment I walked into the office the front desk staff did not even greet me (that alone told me they were there just for their paychecks). Once I spoke, both women murmured hello under their breathe, I said "Lord, what have I gotten myself into?" I proceeded to wait for my name to be called back to see the doctor I thought I took the initiative to complete the online patient portal and I called to ask if there was any additional paperwork to be completed and was told no. Well, after hearing one of the front desk ladies ask another patient for his ID and insurance information and his response of "I gave it to the lady behind you" and they all went backwards and forward with who lost his paperwork I was baffled. As they are talking the other patients in the waiting room have the same look of disbelief on their faces as I do. Oh, and let me not leave out how the appointment scheduler is loud and repeating patients names and dates of birth as she scheduled their telephone appointments. I was like what the hell! After waiting 30 minutes from my scheduled appointment I politely asked the woman at the front desk why I was not notified that the doctor or office was running behind. She did apologize but by this time I am so frustrated because my parking ticket is time stamped for 11:18am for a 11:30am appointment. I knew she would notify the back staff and doctor of my displeasures and she did as they called me back to get my vitals and complete more paperwork in the examination room. The nurse Margie I believe her name was the only vibrant spirit in the place. She was welcoming and showed more care and concern than Dr. Bell (which is the next episode of this appointment) or anyone else. When Dr. Bell entered she spoke and said "I heard we had an episode at the front desk." I was like really lady! She went on to tell me how she was in her office reading a book because she didn't think I showed up and how they were having computer issues at the front desk. Well, I said. It would have helped if someone notified me of this instead of having me wait 30 minutes. If I had been late they would have most certainly rescheduled me. I proceeded to look for my parking ticket to show her what time I arrive and that I was on time for my appointment as she gave me a very disingenuous apology. Look I get it, the front desk staff screwed-up. But, Dr. Bell was supposed to help me to understand that this is out of the norm and reassure me that it would not happen again. Well, she did not! Please get some younger, vibrant doctors or Physician Assistants in this location. I felt like I just left a dungeon for my 1st appointment. Patients deserve better and I expected better from the Rockville location. 12.20.18 - Update- Finally was able to speak with the Practice Administrator Caroline to inform her of my office visit nightmare and the fact that Dr. Bell incorrectly billed me for services in which she did not render. To be honest, Caroline and the Billing Manager Shanita were just as deceptive in their conversation with me as Dr. Bell. This doctor charged me for an after hours visit for an 11.30am appointment as well as for a mammogram which I never requested or discussed with her. She never touched me and after her demeanor when she entered the room, I did not want her too. I will be filing formal medical board complaints against this practice and the doctor. Beware patrons!
