Dr. B. is always right on top of things, making time to ask good questions and giving her best advice. She has actually saved my life a couple of times by insisting that I go to the ER. She also keeps an eye on how different specialists might each prescribe some helpful but non-essential medicine--she's diligent about making sure I don't get over-medicated.

I know it is difficult to find a good primary care doctor but Dr. Kannan is particularly awful. I…read morewent to see her during a very distressing time in my life a little over a year ago, and when I told her my situation she literally said to me, "I have nothing for you." For whatever reason, probably because I was so distressed, I saw her two more times even though she repeated those cold words. The last time I saw her I had had bloodwork done and my chloesterol levels were alarmingly high and had gone up a shocking amount in very little time. She didn't even have the bloodwork results for the appointment, which was only intended to check labs. I had to call the results up on my phone. And when the appointment was "over" she was still talking to me but walking down the hallway. I was like, "Are we done?" Then I got a notice from LabCorps that my doctor had scheduled new bloodwork for me and I called the office to ask when I should recheck. Never got a call back. They also billed me in full, without running the visit through my insurance. I was to pay $348 for that stellar experience. They finally did run it through my insurance and the bill was reduced and I paid it and decided I will never go back there again. I have since seen a new PCP who is very impressive and my bloodwork returned with everything in the normal range, thank goodness!

However, I am giving this clinic only one star because I made an 11 a.m. appointment and arrived on time but realized everyone who had walked in without an appointment before I arrived was being seen ahead of me despite the fact that my appointment time had passed. Finally, 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time, I asked the receptionist about this and she confirmed this was their policy. I told her that meant there was no such thing as an appointment since patients were seen based exclusively on their arrival times. She said she would talk to the doctor, and I was, then, the next patient called. TLDR: Fine for walk ins, but they don't honor appointments.

From the first meeting I had with Dr. Possner, I knew things would be vastly different and that I had found someone that would have a profound impact on my health. My first appointment was the longest time I had ever spent with a doctor. My appointment was 2 hours and Dr. Possner had fully reviewed my medical records and engaged me in thoughtful conversation about my medical history. I left my initial appointment with a feeling of empowerment over my health that I had never really felt before. Little did I know that the impact of having Dr. Possner as my doctor would happen so quickly. I was on vacation and had an acute UTI. It was after business hours, but I was able to call the office and get the on call doctor that happen to be Dr. Possner. I walked him through my symptoms and he immediately called in a prescription for me. Because he had such knowledge of my history it was easy for us to communicate and talk through my symptoms. He checked on me via email through the client portal several times over the next couple of days to ensure I was ok. The fact that I was in a remote part of a different state and I was able to call and speak with the doctor saved me stress and the hassle of finding an urgent care to go to. He has made several recommendations to other specialists and doctors, all of whom have turned out to be amazing. His referral goes a long way with each specialist I have scheduled an appointment with. I can't recommend Dr. Possner enough; he's a great listener, thoughtful, caring, kind and you can tell he truly loves what he is doing. His follow through is simply amazing.

Have had good experiences here. Dr. Kevess-Cohen was on my hospitalization network. I chose her…read morebecause she's an Internist. Recently learned from their website that she is a geriatric physician as well. I always encourage people to have a geriatric doctor for loved ones. It's specialized experience that is a must. You're assisting someone of advanced age. It's hard enough to make decisions for yourself, that much harder for someone else. Geriatric doctors are seasoned in the ways of an aging patient. The Cameron Medical Group location is good. Only a front parking lot like in a shopping center would be better, but this location is next best, in the heart of downtown Silver Spring. Street level parking opens up, drive around the block and you'll find something, or use county parking just there. It's a hilly walk from Metro, one block over, but there's the freebie bus that goes to the side of the building, on Cameron (think Silver Spring Diner). Building has an elevator, and the Cameron's Group office is pleasant. One day a week, CMG has hours until seven p.m. which is incredibly convenient--means not having to take leave from work. Some people don't have ability to take leave--it's costly even if you do. Extended hours are appreciated, it's a fine benchmark for this Group. With their website, one can access needed forms. My forms were mailed to me ahead of time. I appreciate having enough time to complete forms thoroughly. Office staff has computer skill to allow for helpful email appointment reminders. Techs in this office are very nice. Remember that CMG does not take checks, it's cash or debit. Only negative for me is a too-high, too uncomfortable chair for blood draw. Simply does not work for me, tried it twice, twice a fail, the chair height and type is not for me.

He went through all of the options very carefully with me, listened to what I wanted, and did a fantastic job with the procedure. Not only was he totally professional, he really put me at ease. Fast forward, a few years ago I fell and really damaged my foot and ankle. When I called his office they explained he was booked up that morning but they arranged for me to see his colleague and he promised he would check on me during the appointment and he did. He's a really good doctor and also a really nice person.

What I love about Dr. Lowy is first, how he treats his patients. Secondly, he is very honest and modest in his approach to treatment. Grant it, I was expecting something to be seriously wrong with my foot, but he was honest enough to inform me what I need to do to change my circumstances. So I really appreciate that. What he wanted to do do for me as opposed what my insurance would allow was an issue. But he made sure that as long as I made certain changes with the type of shoes I wear, possible shots and stretches with a night boot would drastically improve my issues...and they have. I still have options later on but I just appreciate the modesty and keeping in mind of my finances. His staff as well are very sweet and have pleasurable dispositions. Again, all of this counts when you're in pain. If you are looking for a podiatrist in the Silver Spring area, please consider Dr. Lowy. He and his staff are wonderful!

Everything from scheduling the appointment, the friendliness of the staff, promptness, and overall professionalism is 5 out of 5 stars. If I could give an extra star for going above and beyond what other facilities do, I would. Before establishing care here, I lived by the UCLA Ronald Reagan Center which is one of the top-rated medical centers in the US. Having experienced their level of service which was great and comparing it to here- I would say here is the same level of quality but probably better if I'm being honest. Dr. Gibson's expertise in medicine is exceptional and what's noteworthy is his ability to explain seemingly complex topics in ways that are digestible and absorbed by you and me. I never feel rushed during an appointment and the doctor remembers everything I've told him which shows his attention to detail and his care for each patient. Sometimes I think it's easy to feel like you're just another patient at medical facilities but you won't experience that here. You'll be treated like the awesome human you are and realize this is how healthcare should be. I came here because I saw a great review on google and now I'm passing the good energy on because I can see why his reviews were so good & genuine. During this unprecedented time, it's a blessing to know there are medical practices like Embrace Primary Care. Stay safe y'all!
