Most recently, after not going for two years I was signed up - without permission - for automated appointments. I began receiving text notices and could not opt out or cancel by text. I called and requested that both the appointment and notices be cancelled weeks ago. Today, I received more unwanted text messages for an appointment I never made and requested to have cancelled. I had to call again and was hung up on. I plan to file a consumer complaint - I would not ever go here again.

I let the scheduler know that I was between primary care doctors (my previous doctor left her practice) and she said that was fine, but after sitting for half an hour in a packed waiting room I was told by the front desk that it's illegal for them to give me a mammogram if I don't have a primary care doc for them to send it to. I personally think this is stupid, but if this is their policy why was I even given an appointment? Please find another location, I've had a good experience with their Germantown office.

Only problem I had was no one ever called me to schedule or review my results with me which is advertised in their materials.

I was lucky not to have any major findings, but I did find the review process over the phone after the results were in felt a tiny bit rushed. All in all, the experience was outstanding and I recommended it highly to anyone. Having this scan is a wonderful peace of mind. I will definitely repeat this in a couple of years.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I should have known from the start this was going to be a…read moredisaster, I just didn't realize how bad. First red flag: I had to fill out ALL the paperwork again because the forms I'd already submitted online never made it to the office. When I brought this up, the receptionist actually said, "I wish they would stop doing that, we don't get those forms!" Excuse me?? This is apparently a known, ongoing problem and nobody has bothered to fix it? Then there's the website itself, the instructions on Washington Radiology's site were either wrong or so vague they were useless, to the point that the tech herself disagreed with them. The site clearly states: "Do not eat or drink two hours before your exam." So when the tech couldn't find a vein for the contrast, she rudely demanded to know when I'd last had something to drink, as if I were the problem, when I was literally following the instructions on their own website. Her first attempt, on my left arm, failed, and her immediate instinct was to blame me instead of her technique. I asked her to try my other arm, since that's where other techs have always had success and she completely ignored me and went right back to jabbing at the same arm again. Nothing about her performance that entire visit inspired one ounce of confidence that she knew what she was doing. Another red flag: the tech asked me about the composition of surgical staples in my body and when I said I didn't know, she had nothing to say. No follow-up, no explanation. If that information mattered, I should have been told to find it out before the appointment. So which is it, does it matter or doesn't it? Because if it doesn't, why was I even asked? After these interactions with the tech, I'd had enough and left without completing the exam. An MRI is not a routine, trivial procedure, it requires a technician I can trust knows what they're doing. Between her inability to place the IV correctly, her refusal to even try my other arm as I requested, and her lack of any clear answers when questioned, I had zero confidence in her competence. Add to that her consistently rude and dismissive manner, and I simply couldn't in good conscience continue with the exam. Given that Washington Radiology is associated with this location, I assumed it would be a more professionally run office! Guess not! Save yourself the inconvenience and schedule someplace else!

As a healthcare worker myself who understands the charges and diagnostic codes of a clinic, I was able to inquire on the codes and itemized bill only to find out this is simply a false claim. I've paid an unknown amount in hidden fees and charges. They are amazing at reminding you that you have a bill that must be paid otherwise it will reach collections. Yet, when it comes to contacting someone regarding this false claim, suddenly no one has an answer and it has been a year that this has been differed and given to a supervisor for "review". The second I mentioned involving lawyers, my phone calls are no longer being answered. *** Also, Mariano with the billing department was probably the least helpful rep I've ever communicated with. Picking up the phone like he hates the job (no one is forcing you to work there). Then, once I've expressed why I called, he hung up on me.

I came to see Dr. Marshall because my dad passed away suddenly in November at the age of 60 when his heart stopped for unexplained reasons. I had developed a heart murmur and skipped beats in the past few years and wanted to get checked out. Dr. Marshall ordered a heart monitor and echo imaging, and then called me with the results. He told me my heart was adding an extra beat every 100 beats on average and that I had some valve leakage. I'm not a doctor and didn't understand the significance of this so wanted to ask a few questions. Everything I asked he responded to with utter distain, and constantly tried to get off the phone. "Does that mean my heart skips a beat about every minute or two?" "No, do you not understand averages? On AVERAGE means not every 100 beats. I'm not going to sit here on the phone and explain math to you." "It was bothering me when I was exercising--does the monitor show anything there?" "No, that's just what it feels like to have your heart elevated when you exercise." (I'm 30 years old, 130 pounds, and a former D1 runner. I have no idea why he'd think I don't know what it means to exercise.) "I understand you are saying this isn't a problem but might it become a problem over time?" "It is not a problem and won't be a problem. You need to GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE." "I can tell you are frustrated with my questions. I'm really not trying to hold you hostage here--we've been on the phone for less than 10 minutes--I just want to understand what's happening with my body." "WOW. Do you understand that I am a busy CARDIOLOGIST with a million more important things to do?? 10 minutes is a VERY long time for me." "Ok, would you please just send me what we talked about so I have a record of it?" "I'll have my assistant send the tests but no, I'm not going to do a PhD thesis on your symptoms." We talked for a total of 13 minutes, the majority of which he spent berating me. I feel no closer to understanding what is happening with my body. Also, I will add that when I first came in I brought my husband with me, and Dr. Marshall was relatively polite. When it was just me though -a woman half his age - his demeanor changed completely. Correlation isn't causation, but it is worth noting.

The location was also very convenient for me. I was able to schedule an appointment within a few days. Parking: there's a paid parking, but there is also a lot of street parking. If you go there between school hours, it might be a little difficult to find really close street parking because some areas are limited to 15 minute parking during school hours. Appointment: They seemed very organized and on schedule....or I might have just scheduled my appointment when the office was slow. The receptionist was really nice and a pro at multi-tasking. I was impressed. The doctor I met with was really nice and friendly. They had prepared a folder with information for the country I was going to, and she walked me through all of the vaccines, pills, etc. out there and answered all of my questions...even twice, since I'm terrible at medical terminology. She didn't push any vaccines or pills on me, and she was very open with the pricing and her experience with trying to get my insurance to cover some of the shots. I highly recommend this place to others, and I'd go back....after 10 years when these vaccines start to wear off! =)
