I came for a consultation for getting my spider veins removed in late.spring or early summer. I was…read morescheduled to have the procedure done Nov. 3rd at 8:00 AM. I received a phone call today-- Oct. 6th, stating the office had made a mistake and they'd have to reschedule my appointment. The woman -- the office manager-- said to hold on while she looked for an alternate date. I held on for five minutes and then hung up. About 20 minutes later, I called the office back and was told that their Rosedale office doesn't open until 9, so the earliest appointment I could get was in February. I will take my business elsewhere.

If you want to pay over $900 for a basic annual physical exam then this is the place for you! Took…read moremy daughter to Dr Bothwell here. She was nice but I just couldn't believe their costs. Normal annual physicals are about $300. In addition they billed for a hearing test that insurance does not cover. Wouldn't be so bad but my daughter and I don't even remember them giving her a hearing test. When we asked about it the girl who attended said "well, I was the one who assisted and I always do the tests so I must have done it." When I asked to see the results of the hearing test all I got was a sheet of paper with two short lines on it that had a few numbers which were all the same. I now understand why there was no one at this practice. It's a shame. They could be great without their shyster billing practices.

Made an appointment for a healthy yearly visit for Medicare. I was informed by their office that…read morethis is a Medicare requirement. Paperwork was texted to me before the visit minimizing the time spent before seeing my doctor. The office staff is efficient and friendly. I waited less than 10 minutes to be taken to the exam room by the Nurse. She updated my records, answered any questions I had and before I knew it my Doctor arrived. Dr. Louderback-Smith examined me, checked my records and eagerly answered my questions. She is very knowledgeable, caring and patient. If I need to get in touch with her I can use the Portal and email her and by the end of the day she responds. Heck I ran into her at the grocery store, she recognized me and let me ask her a quick question. Everyone there treats you like family. So glad I am a patient of Dr. Louderback-Smith's. This review is for MedStar Health Primary Care located on Old Emmorton Road in Bel Air.

"Care" like this should be criminal. Where do I start?…read more 1) Dr. Lola at Silver Spring Gastroenterology likes to charge $330 for a 10-minute Zoom appt (one I was forced to have as a "pre-op consult" with info that could have easily been emailed). When I questioned this, because it had to be a mistake, and then tried to get this brought down to something reasonable, I was denied. Disgusting. 2) She also likes to ask, "Well, what do you think we should do?" I'm not the doctor! Why am I paying YOU? She does not read the chart beforehand (neither does the office, as they triage you and take your vitals and then ten minutes in, ask, "What's your name again?") I came for you to fix me, not for you to ask my opinion on what kind of care path I want to take. I want the one that frickin' fixes me. 3) After spending thousands of dollars, at my post-op follow up, it was suggested I take a $7 supplement to fix my issue. After over a year of visits and thousands of dollars. I would have laughed if I didn't want to cry. Why was this not suggested first?? 4) But never fear- she prescribed something, too. Imagine my surprise when my pharmacy called me and asked when I got on high-cholesterol medication....because that ISN'T what I have. She sent in medication for a condition I did not have. 5) The office quoted me a $0 estimate for my procedure. I currently received my third different bill for a total of $2000 for that very procedure. Again, would laugh if I didn't spend so much time crying. This entire company, system, and country is broken. When I see a b.s. MedStar commercial or magazine cover purporting that their mission is to help people, I want to set things on fire. Corrupt. Uncaring. Unethical. THIS is MedStar. Stay away. I know at this point I will take my chances with my health, because I simply cannot afford to spend this much money on crap care.

Then he did not properly prescribe a different medicine and it caused me to end up in the hospital with short term extreme depression and suicidality. Rather than checking on me, fixing it or ya know...anything professional. I got a letter a month later saying that they were firing me for belligerence. Apparently when I said "Please call me back. Im starting to believe you dont give a f^^k. It hurt their sensitive little ears. They also took blood tests back in December, charged my insurance for them and then conveniently never followed up with me so I still dont have the results 3 months later. He seemed super nice in the appointment. Unfortunately it was all smoke and mirrors.
