We've been bringing our two daughters to this pediatrician's office since they were born, and after…read moremore than ten years, I can confidently say we couldn't have asked for a better medical home for our children. What sets this practice apart is the truly personalized care. The doctors and staff don't just know our girls' medical histories--they know our girls. They remember details about their interests, their personalities, and their quirks. Walking in for an appointment feels less like visiting a medical office and more like seeing caring extended family members who happen to be medical professionals. The trust our daughters have in their doctors and the entire staff is something I never take for granted. They actually look forward to their check-ups, and even when they're not feeling well, they feel safe and comfortable here. That level of comfort is invaluable, especially when dealing with anxious moments or difficult conversations about health. The doctors also take care of us as parents. They helped us understand how to read our kids' symptoms--what is serious and what is normal. As nervous, first-time parents, that type of support helped us calm our own nerves on countless occasions. From routine well-visits to sick appointments and everything in between, this office has consistently provided exactly what we need: expertise, compassion, accessibility, and genuine care. After a decade of experience here, I recommend this practice without hesitation to any parent looking for a pediatrician who will truly partner with them in their children's health and wellbeing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If there were a draft pick for pediatricians, Dr. Bennett would be our #1 overall. He met with us…read morebefore our daughter was even born, showed up at the hospital like a pediatric superhero when we had no idea what to do, and has been part of our lives ever since. His bedside manner is honestly unbelievable--he somehow manages to calm babies, reassure parents, and crack a joke all at the same time. Our daughter trusts him, we trust him, and we're convinced he could probably negotiate world peace if toddlers were involved. The entire practice runs with the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. They've become truly indispensable to our family, and we couldn't imagine navigating parenthood without them. Five stars, ten stars, all the stars--Dr. Bennett and the team deserve them all. And if you get a chance, pick up his one of his books. My favorite is The Fantastic Body.

We love CMG and Suzannah. Started coming 6 years ago with the first one and brought the second here…read more2 years ago. I am usually not a fan of big medical offices as they don't feel personal. But they seem to balance somehow being huge and stay somewhat personal. We have probably seen all doctors throughout the years for sick visits and all providers are great: dr Vallarta, dr Markovic, dr Arling, dr Roche, dr Silverman, dr Finkelstein. We do try to schedule our annual appointments with Suzannah, as i prefer one specific person who remembers them from the beginning, and also she is so awesome, our family loves her.

We like CMG Pediatrics a lot. We have taken our two young children, both under two years old,…read morethere since birth. Among their many "pros": -Efficient front desk - efficient back office billing - ability to schedule appointments within 24 hours (many providers) - handy online app to communicate with triage nurses and doctors - low wait times (we've never waited more than 10 minutes) - willingess to vaccinate the whole family for flu and COVID, even non-patients - daily onsite COVID testing for anyone in the family - in general, an experienced and friendly set of doctors (we haven't seen all but particularly like Drs. Zaner and Markovic, and hear great things about Silverman and Arling) - onsite phlebotomy lab (next door at their adult practice) - a stellar, research-driven biweekly COVID update email sent to all patients - Moderna clinical trial participant Cons: - If calling the office right when it opens, there can be up to a 20 minute wait on the phone until the front desk answers. - The individual clinic rooms aren't designed to be kid-friendly (eg no toys or comfortable chairs) - No ability to book or change appts online; you have to call in order to do this (We belong to OneMedical, which does offer this ability). While we don't have experience with any other pediatrics practices, we have seen many doctors offices ourselves throughout our lives. We are impressed with this practice.

I'll start by saying Dr. Moore is great! I'd really love for my kids to keep seeing her…read more Unfortunately, their wait times are just too long. We've been over a dozen times, and all but one of those appointments we've had significant waits. On two occasions we waited for over an hour in the exam room after initially seeing the nurse. This would probably be doable if my kids were older but it does not work for toddlers/ babies. We walked out of the office earlier this week after waiting for over an hour for an appointment for our 1-month-old. Dr. Moore called that night and left a very nice message apologizing, so we decided to give them one more shot. I called 30 minutes before today's makeup appointment to confirm they were on time. After being put on hold, the receptionist said they were running behind. I asked if I should come in 30 minutes after the scheduled start, and she said they were "like really behind" and asked if I could come in this evening to see another doctor. As much as we love Dr. Moore, we're going to have to find another pediatrician for our kids. I really hope Children's National recognizes this issue with wait times/ overscheduling/ lack of communication with patients. I feel bad for Dr. Moore and their staff who deal with this daily. If Dr. Moore ends up leaving for another practice, I hope she reaches out! We'd love for our kids to continue seeing her.

TLDR: care is good, admin is not…read more We took our daughter to Friendship Pediatrics from birth to 18 months. We eventually left out of a combination of finding a more conveniently located practice and frustration with the administrative side of Friendship. Care: We were completely happy with the care we received from the various providers, particularly Dr. Moore (she's great!). Admin: 1) Even though we typically booked the very first appointment in the morning, we often had to wait to be seen and so 30-minute well visits often ran over an hour. 2) Getting the standard DC-required forms completed for day care enrollment took nearly 3 weeks and a few follow-up emails (it's a 5-minute form). 3) Friendship mis-coded an insurance claim and balance-billed us when the claim was rejected saying it was the insurance's fault. We paid $200 for preventative care that should have been covered by insurance because we didn't know better. Friendship has failed to correct the billing mistake and reimburse us despite us doing the work to look at multiple bills and figure out the coding mistake ourselves.

In most aspects it is your standard OneMedical office. The providers are nice and punctual, it is…read morereasonably accessible by metro, sits across from county public parking, and even has appointments on Saturdays. It's also one of the OneMedical offices with a pediatric practice. So why only 3 stars? The lab, especially on weekends, is a calamity. One time my wife had to wait *an hour* to do a simple lab test. Another time it was an unnecessary wait and hassle just to pick something up from the lab. Honestly, if you anticipate needing lab work on a weekend, you may want to consider another location unless you're out of choices. I'm not sure what's going on as neither of us has ever waited more than a few minutes for the lab at any other location. I shudder to think what it would be like if you had to wait an hour with your sick child. With that caveat, if you don't need lab work on a weekend, I wouldn't hesitate to go to this OneMedical location and expect their usual high quality of service and care.

The Bethesda location for One Medical gets 5 stars from me. I'm surprised that they haven't been…read morereviewed yet. In general, I like the integration of the app & telehealth with the office and the idea of a more personalized focus on primary care that One Medical provides. Specifically, I like this location where the staff are all very nice and welcoming. It seems like the staff really care about improving health and "taking care" of you. I tried out the Chevy Chase location last year and had a bad experience with a shockingly rude doctor that surprised me. If I went into detail about what happened there, you would be appalled. I've been to the Bethesda location a lot and they have been great every time. If I had only experienced the Chevy Chase location, I would have quit this program but I've been consistently happy with Bethesda. I haven't tried other locations but the model is that they are a different experience than your average primary care medical office. They are very prompt, stylish and offer the choice between in-person services and telehealth. Prior to One Medical, I had a less than stellar experience with a primary care doctor in a different system. When I say that I've been consistently happy with this Bethesda office, I don't say that lightly. It is pleasant and convenient.

It really is as good of a primary health practice as you can get without having your own private…read moredoctor. Both of our daughters have been patients here from birth. They have a primary care physician assigned - Dr. Sexter - but they have at some point or another been seen by all of their physicians. Every one of them are great: kind, compassionate, attentive, and responsive. You will feel heard and they will address your concerns. Their knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. The office - staff and doctors - are also super responsive. If you have a pressing question, someone will get back to you that day. If it's an after hours emergency, there is always a doctor on call and they will respond within 30 minutes. The doctors hold daily office hours but it can be tricky to get a hold of them if they're experiencing a volume of calls. An extra perk I like is that they keep appointments available daily for those common but unplanned for illnesses, and they have a separate waiting room for sick vs not sick. It just runs so well you wonder why more doctors' offices don't do the same. Now of course, the one downside is they are out of network. It's not cheap. I think it's worth it if you can, but financially it can hurt if your kids have a lot of illnesses or shots in a limited period of time. They do at least submit the insurance forms for you, and that helps some. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice and all the doctors in it, and have a deep appreciation for how Dr. Sexter and Nurse Jennifer have taken care of our girls.
