At this our first meeting at which I hinted I had several health issues, she preferred to ask more form questions - like the do you smoke, do you drink. All covered on a form and really now, have to take up the 20 minute office visit? Smoking no, drinking some - don't really pay attention, so she decided to delve in more minute questions she perceived as very important - the beer: were the cans, small, medium or large? Meanwhile I'm sitting there with chest congestion and perhaps a UTI. For the coughing she prescribed an inhaler which I discovered from the pharmacy costs more than $200. and needs a second authorization for which I could not get anyone at her office to answer the phone for several days. Finally, after explaining what was needed from the doctor for the pharmacy no action was taken. Nothing done. Nothing followed up on. Of the other matter, her lab test showed nothing of consequence and the message was, go to a urologist. No help in which, who, where. So after paying for rides to and from the doctor's office I accomplished nothing. Nothing.

Dr. Wilkerson has an excellent bedside manner, and takes time to get to know his patients. He…read moreincludes a lot of emphasis on nutrition, an excellent health care practice that few doctors follow. His office may be a little dated, but that is largely because he has served an underprivileged community for many years. He detected a UTI on my first visit. My previous doctor never even thought to look for it. When I lost my meds on the way back from the pharmacy, he understood and wrote me a new prescription. He maintains walk-in hours, which few doctors do, and accepts most insurance with no hassle. My only beef is his varied office hours, which sometimes makes it difficult to schedule an appointment.

I've had blood drawn by this particular tech in the past so I know this person is capable of doing it professionally. I've also had blood drawn about a dozen times in the past 3 years by 8 or 9 different lab techs, and I have not once had an issue. I will never return to this lab and I encourage people to stay away. The bad: The office staff are good, but the overall environment is poor (long waits). The good: my doctor is really good and I will return to see her.

Impossible to get a straight answer out of any of them, and don't bother trying to talk to someone on the phone-- you will get bounced from hold to hold. Ready to give up on this practice... 6/30/17-- updating my review. Finally pulled the plug on this place. It's impossible to get an appointment, the receptionists are awful. I finally asked to speak to a supervisor, who of course did not pick up nor return my message. I've been doing almost all of my appointments at urgent care because I can't get in here. Found another doctor-- should have done this years ago.

I think they have commercial about how you won't feel like a number but more like a person here,…read morebut I honestly haven't felt that, but I guess, such is the healthcare industry. I've changed doctors with Medstar 4-5 times in the last 2 years mainly because people leave the practice or more to different offices. I remember when I was younger, an annual physical was much more than just asking you questions and then adjusting your medications, but the doctors don't even touch you other than listening to your breathing. I also don't like that they send you all these emails and text messages to pre-register but then when you get to the office you still have to scan and enter the same data in again. What's the point in pre-registering and wasting time if I'm going to have to do it all over again at the office. So, I just don't anymore.

I reached out to my provider and let her know what's happening. Even though it was a lengthy…read moremessage, she responded with so much information - laying out my options and what I can do. When I had more questions, she didn't hesitate to answer them. It was the kind of medical care you only see in movies and tv shows. This is all true EXCEPT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT THIS PRACTICE! I recount this story because it's such a stark contrast to what I experienced here. The medical and admin staff here could not care less about the people who seek their help. They like us the same way vampires like people - we're just funding their yachts and second vacation homes. They don't care if you live or die or if your quality of life is piss poor, so long as you pay that copay and all the subsequent "procedural" fees you'd have to pay. To be clear, there are still good medical providers out there - you just won't find them at MedStar Navy Yard

Hmm...I came in with medical issues that needed serious treatments. Dr. Avery would keep giving me…read moresample medications to see how they worked. Nothing he gave me worked to manage my blood pressure which was always through the roof. He is so rude as well. Everytime I've walking in there the staff was half way decent but I was always waiting for more than an hour past the time I was to be seen. He would always give me whatever medicine some company sent him to give out samples. He never tried to give me a legit prescription to treat my issues. He also bragged about be hated ao much by patient's. He is a piece of work. The last straw was when I waited 2 and a half hours. At this point I knew it would end bad because he would rush through and not answer my questions. Apparently he had a clause where you can only see him for one issue at a time. I came in, i told him my issue, and I asked him to just look at my foot because there was a dark spot on the bottom being diabetic i was concerned and didn't think it was a big deal. He then proceeded to tell me "i'm on of those people"...i looked at him and asked what he meant. I said, I need to make a new appointment just to have you tell me if this is dangerous or not!? I started grabbing my things because after almost 3 hours of waiting for him i was pretty pissed that he would go there. I said, is this how this is going down!? I said i didn't have time for this mess. He followed me through the halls yelling. SO THIS IS YOUR LAST TIME COMING!? ...SHOULD I PLAN ON NOT SEEING YOU AGAIN? mind you ther was a room full of patients, and this man was now yelling at me down the hall. I said...well with this service maybe this will be the first time. I walked out to the waiting area. He loudly told him nurses I won't be back and talked more trash as i left. He mumbled something about my fill needing to be ready to transfer to a new doctor. I haven't been back and i've considered pressing charges for neglect to properly treat me blood pressure. I ended up going to GW who have been great at making sure my Blood Pressure came down to safe numbers and constantly checking in on me.

He examined me and decided that I had some sort of problem with the nerve endings in my hip (never mind that this condition was extremely rare and was characterized by symptoms that I did not have). He didn't know enough about what he diagnosed me with to tell me about it without looking it up--and then instead of telling me what I should do, he made copies of a medical book for me to take with me. He also has misdiagnosed not one, but two of my co-workers, who have seen him. I have not heard a single positive review of him, and I'm honestly pretty concerned about his capability as a physician.

I came in on the tail end of SIBO and as someone who suffers from R-CPD, GERD, exhaustion, rosacea/acne, and anxiety/depression. Not only did she make me feel heard (after years of being dismissed and treated with minimal care by other doctors), but her rigorous testing, attention, and recommendations have already helped me physically and mentally. I could not recommend her enough, especially if you know something is wrong with your body, but other "specialized" doctors have been no help. Honestly, 100/5 stars!

No, not you? Wow, sucks to be you, then. Yeah, yeah, there's nothing terribly Zen about getting your annual exam. But hey, if you're going to spend some time in an examination gown sitting on a random table getting the once-over in a doctor's office, you might as well be with someone who seems to give a damn about YOU as a patient. Don't you think? And after years of feeling a little too assembly-line with my healthcare, One Medical Group put me in the hands of Stephanie, a PA-C at the Farragut West location in DC. And she immediately put me at ease, listened to ALL THE THINGS within my medical history, and sent me fantastic, thorough follow-up emails to let me know what was going on with my insides. Stephanie was able to have a focused, informative discussion with me while keeping a warm, friendly tone. She is simultaneously engaging and professional. I feel like I'm in good hands, and highly recommend her to anyone. Just be prepared with your list of medications and procedures; like I said, she's thorough, and she will ask you A LOT of questions. She cares! She really does! :)

Care Quality Office Experience…read moreDr. Panahy had been my primary care physician for most of the 28 years I've been with Kaiser Permanente. I found her care to be excellent. She always spoke to me at length regarding my health and was always on top of whatever test, labs or Rx's I needed. Dr. Panahy was an excellent physician - caring, cooperative, informative and spent time with you despite the requisite 20 mins. that was usually mandated for appointments. I will miss her and when I think of excellent physician, I think of her. RIP. Andrea Sommer

Dr. Panahy has been my primary care doctor since 2004. Her practice has grown a lot since then -…read morelast I heard, she's no longer accepting new patients. I usually have to schedule my physicals a month or two in advance, and if I'm sick and need to get seen that day, I almost always have to settle for someone else in the practice. I usually don't have to wait long to be seen, and the practice seems to run fairly efficiently, aside from a recent frustration in getting a prescription refill. I find my annual checkups very helpful. Maybe it's just that I'm not trying to swaddle myself in a paper jacket and wrap - they usually give me a cloth gown. The office seems to schedule at least 30 minutes for annual checkups. Dr. Panahy is thorough, easy to talk to, and never seems rushed. She takes time to explain things, is well-informed, and is gentle during exams. She's been flexible with writing referrals, prescriptions for nonessential stuff like allergy meds and daily vitamins, and refilling prescriptions from specialists. The followup is fairly standard. If my labwork is normal, I get a letter in two weeks or so telling me the results. Dr. Panahy does call to discuss abnormalities. I haven't seen Dr. Panahy for any acute conditions, so I don't have a good feel for how she does with diagnosis. The other physicians in the office are okay.
