You know those waxing-poetic moments, where you reminisce fondly over your time with your medical caregiver, her full attention on you and her gentle application of a not-freakishly-icy stethoscope on your back as you inhale and exhale deeply, so happy and relaxed in your soft cloth (not paper) examination gown...
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! :) read more
