She was very personable and thorough. I was there due to shortness of breath and I was checked out thoroughly. Mary Katherine had the Nurse do an EKG and blood work was done. A couple of prescriptions were called in to my Pharmacy and that was it. I highly recommend Mary Katherine and would be happy to see her again if need be.

Is it a natural part of the passage of life when you review more medical practices than night…read moreclubs? Sigh.... If you want a doctor who is not just knowledgable & caring, but also has a fabulous dry wit sense of humor, then Dr. Christopher Asuncion is your man. His "one liners" make going to the doctor a much more relaxed experience. My using Dr. A as a Primary Physician began years ago when my internist retired. A number of people at work went to a large, well established group in the Beach General corridor. So that's the practice I chose. Gradually everyone at work gravitated to Dr. A, a member of that practice at the time. When he left to found Mid-Atlantic Family Medicine, we all followed him. Dr. Asuncion isn't the type of Doctor you feel is rushing you out of the exam room. He will listen to your ailments & symptoms as long as you want to talk. And he remembers not just your medical conditions but also your family, interests & activities. Whenever I have one of my semi-regular sinus infections he will make sure that his staff works me into his always full schedule. And he will do his best to knock it out in the shortest time possible, especially if I have an important upcoming activity planned. It's quite humorous when he walks in the room & the first thing he says is "Got it again?" His decisions regarding whether you should be referred to a specialist for a newly diagnosed condition are prompt & correct. I've always been very happy with his specialist choices. An on-site lab technician eliminates the hassle of having to go to a hospital for blood work. Electronic transmission of prescriptions eliminates the need to carry a script to the pharmacy & make a return trip to pick it up, Access to the doctor is extremely easy. He is available by email, either responding by email or having his nurse or the office staff call. All are responsive & pleasant. The only down side to a one man family medicine practice is that he does need vacations & time off. His PA handles the chores in his absence. But of course I prefer Dr. A. The office is located in the Bon Secours Medical Building off South Plaza Trail, just north of Princess Anne Road. Both the building and the office convey the feelings of new, nicely decorated, clean & well lit. The spacious glass walls offer one an outside view that makes waiting in an exam room much more acceptable that four closed in walls. And the exam rooms are a nice size, rather than claustrophobic. Parking is plentiful and laid out so that it's always an extremely short walk to the entrance. Regular parking spaces are just as convenient as the handicapped slots. There is a covered drive-thru at the entrance, so one can drive an elderly or infirm patient directly to the door. Wheel chairs are available in the building lobby for their further use. Walk into the door at Mid-Atlantic Family Medicine and you are greeted pleasantly by your name. (Does this mean I go to the doctor too often?) It's a much more pleasant experience than the check-in ogre's at some medical practices who give one the feeling that you are interfering with their day. There must be a check-in ogre school, since so many have the same technique. Now I'm thinking of the one liner Dr. A would come up with if he read this review. I'm pretty certain I know exactly what it would be. So I'll just close on a serious note. Thank you for taking care of us Dr. A. You are very much appreciated.

This review is for the Sentra Princess Anne Advanced Imaging Center and Comprehensive Breast Center…read morelocated in Building 1975. All of the staff from registration employees to technicians and doctors were kind and clear with instructions. I felt that I received great care with compassion. The main waiting room area was pretty full with people waiting to be called to complete registration, etc. There is a bathroom in the waiting room. The facility itself was very clean in all of the spaces I was in for that day. The only difficulty I have found with this building is parking. Give yourself extra time to find a parking spot.

She was respectful, patient, and incredibly positive. She explained things to me in a way I understood, and she tried to keep the mood light even though she knew I was in pain. She checked on me often and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. This isn't my first rodeo giving birth, but I can say she was the best L&D nurse I've had out of the four times. Mother and baby unit was also good. Bed was uncomfortable and I couldn't wait to leave. They were so accommodating though because I had really bad anxiety with the idea of baby leaving room without me. My night nurse, Marie did the hearing test in the room for me, and I was so thankful. My discharge nurse was Anne, and she was great for the time I had her. Funny and reassuring. I enjoyed my experience here with the nurses and recovery.

They have a rotation of all women doctors and nurse practitioners that you'll see, and I never saw the same one twice. I absolutely loved two that I met, Dr. Randolph and FNP. Javier. Both kind, didn't rush our appointments, answered all my questions, and it felt like they genuinely cared. I can say there were two that I absolutely disliked, from their condescending attitudes to their awful bedside manners. I thankfully never saw them again, and neither were on rotation for my birth. Dr. Butts, whom I didn't see during my pregnancy, delivered my baby. She was great. Very calm, and professional. I actually really liked her, and I'm glad she was the one who delivered my baby. I had a great experience. The front desk girls are helpful and kind, and though some were training, they immediately went and asked others for help when they weren't sure. When trying to make an appointment or reach the office, I wouldn't try calling after 4, because very rarely did I get someone to answer.

This was after the front desk girl told me it was illegal for them not to run both. The office as a whole also is incapable of getting prescriptions correct or sending any kind of paperwork to literally anyone.

I get Botox injections for my migraines which helps with getting less migraines monthly and the intensity.

They do screenings, referrals for M.R I. scans and X-rays, migraine prevention, M.S care, ADHD, and lots more here that's nerve related. They handled the prior authorization which I appreciate because insurance companies don't like paying for a drug that's pretty expensive. But they made it very easy for me. Nurse Laura Jackson is a very kind practitioner. She listens to my needs and is very professional. By the time I get to say ouch and get in my feelings we're done!!! They're also good at scheduling your appointments out for the next 6 months or more so you can get an appointment date because they fill up quickly. I highly recommend this practice for your neurological needs.
