He never rushes me, answers all my questions and makes sure he understands my concerns. He provides useful tips and resources so patients can be active participants in improving their health. He is compassionate and sympathetic to other conditions that do not relate to his practice. He is one of the few doctors that will follow up with a phone call after lab tests, something that most doctors no longer do. The reception area is clean, the staff is pleasant and organized. The wait is minimal.

On the morning of August 21, I needed to find a gastroenterologist and located Dr. Raja M. Din…read more Because I had a concern, I wanted an appointment as soon as I could make one. Dr. Din's office uses an online appointment service called Zocdoc, which indicated there was an opening at 3:20pm on the same day, which I made. I had to create a Zocdoc account, log in, provide copies of my insurance card and other information. The appointment was made and off I went to work meetings. I left my last meeting early in order to get to his office in the middle of an ill-timed downpour. I finally make it to his office at 3:05pm, glad that I got there early. Within a few minutes I was called to the counter and told by a staff member that I did NOT have an appointment. Zocdoc was mistaken that the time slot was available ("sometimes it does that", I was told) and they absolutely did not have any other openings. Sorry, no appointment. She also told me I should have called first to confirm. How many times do I need to confirm an appointment? They use an appointment service that fails to work properly and it's my fault Zocdoc was incorrect about the opening? If I was in the system (apparently they knew I was coming) why not contact me, since my phone number was provided. Somebody dropped the ball on their end. Either they weren't updating Zocdoc or the service failed on its own. Other doctors' officers sure have been able to contact me when a change is made to a schedule. I'm not sure if his office staff really understand how frustrating it can be when their system fails. Patients (and potential patients) often have to make big changes to their work day or other commitments to come to the doctors office, some of us must take leave. It is generally condescending to be asked "can we make an appointment for you for another day?" knowing they made a big mistake; not to mention I'm standing there soaking wet after running in the heavy rain. I was there because of a health concern, not to schedule a casual visit. No way would I make another appointment since my time and health are too valuable. I can't review the doctor's own service because their system failed before I had the chance to see him.

0kay . . . so I debated for a while about doing this review . . . I mean who really wants to hear…read moreabout my colonoscopy? But then I decided you're going to hear about it anyway. So with the pandemic and all, alongside my own procrastination, I scheduled first colonoscopy about half a decade later than I probably should have. Not so much because of the nature of the procedure itself. I've had much more awkward procedures. (I chose not to review my kidney stone removal.) It was simply my lead feet and resistance in accepting I've reached "that age". That being said, it was all pretty innocuous. The post procedure was easy enough. Drink some (not so terrible tasting) stuff the evening before followed by lots of clear liquids. (I'm purposely skipping some important details here.) Then repeat in the morning. The procedure itself was pretty unmemorable as well, literally and figuratively. The last thing I remember was hoping the anesthesia works and the next thing was someone asking if I wanted a Coke to drink. (Skipping some details of the results . . . . for your benefit, but there was nothing bad, just the usual I guess.) Overall it was a "good \_ 0_/ experience" and I have nothnegative to say about it. I do apologize fore the images I included with the review, although I thought they were hilarious at the time . . . . and the only other photos I have are the ones they gave me of the procedure and I don't think anyone wants to see those.

Therefore for most of that hospital stay he was there and I will never forget how much compassion and kindness he showed me. I was very sick and he clearly was concerned. He ordered appropriate tests for issues affecting my GI tract. He communicated well with my internist and rheumatologist. I will always appreciate the care I received from him. Soon after that hospital stay my gastroenterologist retired and there was no doubt I would choose Dr Jager to take over my care. I have a lot of GI issues and he always tries to keep me as comfortable as possible. He returns phone calls promptly and although I know he is very busy, he takes the time to talk to me. I hesitate to recommend him because, like most excellent doctors he is very busy...but I won't be selfish. He is a great doctor and a special person.

I have been battling gastritis since childhood, and my recent experience at Fallsgrove Endoscopy…read moreCenter/Capital Digestive Care in Rockville was nothing short of a nightmare. The level of frustration and disappointment I encountered is beyond words. Consultation and Communication: From the very beginning, Dr. David Jager's apparent disinterest was disheartening. I felt like just another number rather than a patient in need of care. The staff's lack of communication and failure to provide any directions or instructions added to my anxiety and frustration. It was a chaotic and unprofessional environment. Thank God, or rather thank not, this was not my first rodeo, so I knew what to do and not do! Procedure Day: The day of my endoscopy was a disaster. The doctor seemed rushed and barely took a minute to address my concerns. The anesthesiologist's negligence was alarming; she didn't ask any necessary pre-anesthesia questions, making a biased and dangerous assumption based on my "helthy" appearance. This lack of thoroughness is unacceptable and could have had serious consequences as so many things can impact the anesthesia! Follow-up and Billing: After the procedure, I was hurried out without any proper follow-up. Despite promises, Dr. Jager never reached out to discuss my results or ongoing pain. Instead, I was bombarded with relentless requests for reviews and an overwhelming number of bills. Due to their mishandling of my referral, I am now left to deal with charges that should have been covered by my insurance without my involvent going back and forth between my provider and insurance. This is not just frustrating; it feels like a blatant disregard for patient care and responsibility. Billing Department: Reaching the billing department was an ordeal in itself. After eight attempts, I finally spoke with a representative named Elisia, who was clearly irritated and unhelpful. Despite my calm and respectful approach, I was met with sighs and huffs, adding to my already high level of frustration. I am left confused and burdened with bills, with no clear explanation or resolution. Outcome: After months of pain and a traumatic experience with this practice, I am still without answers or relief. My health and well-being were clearly not a priority for them. In conclusion, if you value your health and well-being, I strongly urge you to avoid Capital Digestive Care/Fallsgrove Endoscopy Center. My experience was marked by disinterest, negligence, poor communication, unprofessionalism and an overwhelming and unjustified time spent to sort out bills. This is not the standard of care anyone deserves!

I got my Primary Care office to send one over within an hour and they never bothered to check it. When I got to the appt, they 1) misgendered me and 2) told me the referral "doesn't work" because it's missing information they never asked for. They had almost an entire day to contact my Primary Care office to ask for the referral to be fixed but because of pure laziness they chose to waste my time. What's worse, is after they told me the referral won't be accepted they said "we have a 15 minute grace period..." like I was going to be able to get my Primary Care office on the phone and a new referral sent over in under 15 minutes. That's asinine. The receptionist was flat out heartless.

Dr. Heyer made a thorough evaluation, ordered numerous diagnostic tests, and tested my progress on and off the medicine. He also checked blood clotting factors. Dr. Heyer made numerous calls to radiologists to confirm and evaluate their opinions, and he let me know all the results of these discussions. He spent a lot of time with me, as I had numerous complications from the clot and/or medicine. He provided his opinions but listened to everything I said very carefully. He also spent a great deal of office time evaluating my case. Ultimately, he recommended I discontinue Coumadin. My leg and ankle have felt great since I stopped using it. I highly recommend Dr. Heyer. He's a great listener and doer who cares about the patient. And he is very fast with follow-up.

I feel truly blessed and lucky that I found Dr. Heyer and that he took such an interest in my medical needs. I was also impressed with the other staff in his office. I saw several people walk in, say hello to the office staff by name (they also knew the patients by name), and continue to the back of the office. Everyone seemed very happy and they were very friendly to me.
