Pass. I don't know…read morewhat it is about Southern Maryland, but it seems to be full of terrible doctors. I had a primary care doctor from this area that I dumped. And now, my father has dumped his primary care doctor and this practice. He is a first time stroke survivor. He is 71. It's an understatement to say he's very vulnerable. So imagine my surprise when his doctor behaved brusquely and insensitively, on multiple occasions. We are a Catholic household and believe in extending grace whenever possible. But our grace -- and our patience -- sadly reached its limit with this doctor, whom I will not bestow the honor of naming. I'm giving this practice three stars mainly for the office staff such as the folks at the reception desk as well as the nurses/techs/and other staff in back-of-house. They're warm, wonderful people who mitigate the intimidation of going to see a doctor. Finally, when a patient/client/customer sends you a note instructing you to never reply back, essentially declaring that they never want to have anything to do with you ever again, you should do that instead of disobeying the patient/client/customer's wishes. It's a bad, bad look, and anyway, we sent that response straight into the trash folder where it and this crummy doctor both belong. The American health care system is broken and this doctor is enabling that harmful institution. We have since aligned ourselves with a new, modern practice where the doctors treat you like a human being. They even let you message them by text message and minimize the hassle of administrative work like scheduling and obtaining records with a really attractive and functional app. Welcome to 2023. Don't choose this practice.

This is the group you want to be with. The people leaving negative reviews about this practice…read moreclearly haven't experienced the kind of care you receive at a larger, impersonal office. Our children have been patients at two of the "top-rated" pediatricians as we've moved over the years--and this is the only practice where you're truly treated as a person, not just a number. If you're looking for speed and convenience, you can always go to an assembly-line pediatrician. But if you want a true care team--literally two doctors who will know your children by name, provide thoughtful and individualized treatment, and actually keep you informed--this is the place for you. When I first called, Anastasia let me know they're a smaller practice. So yes, I may wait on hold for a couple minutes while they're helping another patient--but I'll take that any day over the rushed, impersonal care we've experienced elsewhere. At the other offices, they'd order multiple bacterial infection tests based only on symptoms I described over the phone--without even seeing my children. That's not care--that's just billing insurance as quickly as possible. Sky Valley is the complete opposite. Here, they take the time to listen, assess thoughtfully, and treat your family like their own.

I have been a subscriber to Forward since 2019 and I have since convinced my wife to do the same…read more The level of care is far and above any we have ever received before. Your time spent with the doctor is longer than in any other office I've been in. Plus, the doctor is listening to you and not typing things into his computer because there is a medical scrip taking notes of what he says and you say the entire time. He's paying complete attention to you. Bloodwork is done in-house, you get the results the same day or while you wait for no additional charge. My current doctor is Dr. Hodes and he knows me. He knows my wife. He isn't so overwhelmed with patients that I'm otherwise just a number. The messaging service is also fantastic. Once, my wife sustained a liquid burn on her hand and by sending a picture through the app, she was prescribed a cream immediately (on a Sunday) and she was able to get it and use it the same day. Yes, it is concierge medicine, but when you count up all your co-pays that you no longer have to pay, I think this is a fair deal, especially if you really care about your health.

Forward has been a great investment thus far. My wife and I both go to the new one in DC and have…read morenothing but praises to sing. We both see two different doctors, but I went to her initial appointment so I've met both. After I met her doctor I wanted to change mine before my appointment because he was so good. But I'm glad I didn't, because David is amazing as well!! Everyone there is super friendly, very knowledgeable, and really want you to understand everything that's going on. The technology there is mind blowing! I've never been this excited about going back to the doctors office. They are also super responsive. You stay connected with them via an app and can send messages at any time of day. Just last night I sent them my 23andMe results (they give you a free test with registration) at 1:03am and got a response back at 1:20am saying it was received. Crazy!! Like I said, nothing but great things to say about them so far.

They haven't "ignored" me in the literal sense, but they make no real effort to actually connect. I get callbacks at 4:50 PM, but the phones are already off when I call back two minutes later. They don't leave informative voicemails and they don't respond to the portal. The most ridiculous part is that I actually paid for an appointment with the NP just to get a message through to the staff. Even after paying for that visit, it has been three business days and the issue is still not resolved. They took my payment for an appointment and still haven't lifted a finger to fix the medication lapse. If you are a busy person who expects a basic level of professional follow-through, look elsewhere.

I have been a patient here since the summer of 2019, and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and kindness. I suffer from anxiety before and during doctor appointments due to previous trauma, but the staff never makes me feel even the slightest discomfort. So, if you are new to the area or are just looking to make a change in your healthcare regime, you really owe it to yourself to make an appointment. Ask to see Abu Shariff, if he is available.

Not only does she use her education to treat her patients, but she also adds her knowledge and wisdom of over 40 years of experience. I love Dr. Mathews and so do all of her patients! She is a wonderful employer as well. She is empathetic, never has a bad thing to say about anybody for all years I have known this beautiful soul. I have had many patients tell me personally that Dr. Mathews has done for them what no other doctor has been able to do for them. This is because she is "old school" she actually uses charts. We are a paper office and she takes the charts home. She researches while putting symptoms, complaints etc. together like a puzzle. All of this is possible due to the support of her staff! Her sister Asha runs EVERYTHING and is amazing! I know NOBODY is perfect, but when it comes to Asha no lies she's not made one mistake since I've been working here! Asha and Dr. Mathews' minds are like elephants! They remember everything about ANY patient down to the detail!( where it is in a pile of charts with the same name!) Sheila handles the billing and is the most professional, pleasant person to work with. I have to say I have the dream job. If you want a dream neurologist, Dr. Mathews is the one.
