I cannot stress enough how great Dr. Thomas is. At 24 years old I was having very weird symptoms, I had been to the ER and a number of other specialists. Dr. Thomas helped answer any questions I had and was very thorough in her approach. After my first visit I felt better mentally knowing my health was in caring hands.

Dr. Thomas takes the time to listen and answer your questions. I appreciate that she wants to know my thoughts in regards to my illness and its treatment. At my last appointment, she was running a little late. Everyone I encountered that day apologized for this. That's a first! I've had other doctors mumble a quick word of apology. But, three people doing so? I was pleasantly surprised by this. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and this practice.

When I told him I was not comfortable with taking hormones not fully knowing what was causing me all my symptoms he still insisted on hormones. I suspect he has a partnership with the pharmacy in his building. He had to look a lot of things up as we were talking about my labs to get more information as well. He also had another patient doing some type of treatment while I was there and he kept leaving the appt several times to check on him and would not come back for 20mins and longer. He was not experienced at all with placing a needle for EBOO therapy and stuck me several times. He was completely unorganized and had no nurse in person to assist. He seems to be more about profit. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease caused from an immune system reaction to a steroid shot. He was only concerned about treating me with HORMONE REPLACEMENT and not getting to the real root cause of all my horrible issues. Beware.

It's very convenient too having the advantage of being able to get lab work and Xrays when needed.

Despite having insurance, they kept trying to charge me for different things. I'm honestly relieved to hear they're closing this location soon. As I mentioned in my previous review, I paid my $40 copay at the time of my visit and even kept the receipt--both a paper copy and proof in my bank statement. Now, weeks later, I received another $40 bill in the mail for the same visit. I called CareFirst directly, and they confirmed I do not owe any additional copays. This kind of billing practice is unacceptable and misleading. Having worked in a medical office myself, I've never seen anything like it. Be cautious, everyone--double-check everything and always keep your receipts.

I was devastated after my visit. I'd only heard amazing things about Dr. Louie, from friends and…read moredoctors. My chronic pain and struggles with mobility was causing so much hopelessness, but I managed to get in with Dr. Louie and I finally felt hopeful again. I waited for months for this appointment. I'll talk about the staff on the post for the facility because that wasn't good, either. I'd come to this doctor for a second opinion as the first rheumatologist wasn't certain what was going on, but only said SOMETHING was. Dr. Louie didn't listen to me at all. He asked me a question and before I could answer, he said that if I told him yes and couldn't prove that I had the symptom, that he would never believe anything I said to him again. I told him I didn't have the symptom. I didn't even think about it. I couldn't be certain I could prove anything and I wanted this appointment more than anything. He defended my previous rheumatologist to me with no understanding of what I was struggling with and I'm wondering if he knew my previous doctor. I told him that I'd heard he was the best and he told me I'd been lied to. Again, that might have been his sense of humor, but I was already getting a very different experience than my friends had told me I'd get. He rattled off questions so quick and they were all diagnostic criteria. I tried to give actual answers, but he would talk over me and say, "So no!" and then kept going. I finally agreed with him that nothing was really that wrong with me. Although he kept calling my bloodwork "interesting. Scary, but interesting." And then he told me goodbye and was gone. I left, went downstairs to my car and sobbed. I needed someone to listen and understand what I was dealing with. I needed someone who actually cared. Everyone from friends to doctors promised that's what I would get. Months of waiting to be treated like I was worthless. My pain came back full force a few weeks ago. It doesn't even matter because I'm never going back to a rheumatologist. If the guy who is called one of the best is going to treat me like I'm not important, what's the point. I will never recommend him to anyone again. I'm sorry I ever did.

My last virtual appointment was February of this year and no follow up appointment was made. I recently scheduled an appointment and they made the appointment with Dr. Jeffries's PAs (Dr. Jeffries isn't available until April) and the one was focused on nothing but my most recent MRI from 7 months ago which they should have already reviewed and made sure they received. You'll only meet with Dr. Jeffries once a year maybe but the rest of your appointments will be with his PAs. It is also very odd that the earliest availability for existing patients to see Dr. Jeffries is 5 months out (I scheduled in November). I am use to receiving care from the Neurologist themselves and they are usually tracking my blood work and MRIs very closely. With that, I've found a new Neurologist who I feel will provide said device and care.
