    Dr. Maslen is hands down the best; can not recommend him higher. My wife and I both love him. My…read moredad was my PCP for years, but after he retired I struggled for years to find a new PCP... and stumbled on Dr. Maslen based on a recommendation on our community list serve. Making him our family doc was the best decision we ever made. He is INCREDIBLY approachable; you never feel rushed, he takes the time to answer all questions big and small -- and over all just seems to go the extra mile, and REALLY & TRULY CARE about his patients. PCPs/General practitioner family docs are a dying breed. To find a PCP that is a sole practitioner, not in a large medical group is EXTREMELY rare, if not basically extinct these days. It makes SUCH a HUGE difference to have a doc, where you are HIS patient rather than just another number to a random group practice. The gold ol' days of medicine are almost gone and it is just so amazing that Dr. Maslen is still there. All the pressures in medicine today push, if not force docs to sell their practices and join these large medical groups-- costs, insurance, etc are the culprit here. We are just so thankful to have a doctor that loves what he does and endures the incredible pressures to retain his independent sole practice. Idk.. I could keep rambling... but there are not enough words to convey how grateful my wife and I are for Dr. Maslen.

    I move a lot and have to find new doctors ...a lot. I read every review I can on in network doctors…read morebefore closing a PCP and I opted to choose Dr Maslen even though the wait was THREE months long. I believe I learned that he sets aside 2 appointments per week for new patients. I learned this bc I called so many times hoping for an opening. Not because it was urgent. But I wanted to make sure referrals were going to be in place, etc. No one cancels their appts. so when they say 3 months and "they'll call you if there's a cancellation...." don't hold your breath. But I'm very happy with my new PCP! He was comfortable with my diagnoses and complicated conditions and the treatment course I'm on so I actually am not going to all of those specialists appts. for now. He was so nice, easy to talk to and made me feel welcome.

    If I could give zero stars I would. I called for an appointment and was told that the first…read moreavailable for new patients was three months away. I had just moved from out of state and he had been recommended, so I made the appointment for three months away. The morning of the appointment - three months later- I had not gotten a reminder call from the office so I called to confirm my 1:00 pm appointment. I was told the appointment had been canceled because they had not received my paperwork and had called to remind me about the appointment and the paperwork on three different occasions. I asked what number they had been calling. It was an incorrect number - off by one digit. Since I'm not in the habit of giving an incorrect version if my own number, it was clear there had been a typo when they input my number. I told the receptionist my correct number and asked that they honor the appointment that day. She said she would go and talk to the doctor. When she returned to the phone, she told me that not only would they not see me as scheduled but that the doctor had said they would not schedule me at all - ever - because they hadn't received my paperwork. While initially I was upset and disappointed, I'm actually quite glad it turned out this way because I wouldn't want to see a doctor who has so little compassion or consideration.

    After a long and disappointing association with an oncology practice, my mother was not getting…read moreneeded pain medication or support for her illness. The patient him or herself can't make decisions about changing routines much less physicians. It pained me to see the daily frustration, her pain medication wasn't working. I consulted my own hospitalization's pages to find a doctor whose speciality is Geriatrics. Dr. Peter Schlissler is a prince among men. He had my parents and me in his office...cancer is a group activity, or it should be. The oncologist had no such office or family meeting. Dr. Schlisser spoke at length about my mother's condition and what we could expect. I told my mother to bring prescriptions in a bag, even empty bottles. Dr. Schlissler commented that these prescriptions were all but no longer used, it was no wonder that the medications were not working. There are better things and better dosages. I had tears to think that this doctor not only provided the revelation about the illness itself, but that there was better, pro-active treatment. Dr, Schissler wanted to examine the patient himself. You could see what kind of a person he is when he took the wheel with her wheelchair. He pushed it himself, slowly, chatting with my mother, mindful of her condition, respectful of it. More tears for me. That appointment lasted nearly five hours. He found that she had severe osteoporosis which no other doctor had tested for. He set about protocols to ease her pain, which eased our worry, he gave us a sense of control at long last. It was such a sense of relief to find Dr. Schissler and his medical practice. He restored our family by providing the respect my battle weary parents needed to carry on. Dr. Schissler is gentle and wise. He was there for my mother every step of the way. As surely as he told us at that first appointment that we were no where near ready for Hospice, he later wisely knew when it was the time. Imagine the dignity and grace. Anyone would do a family member or friend a service by having a consultation with Dr. Schissler and Associates. He provides gold-plated, compassionate care. http://www.marylandgeriatricmedicine.com/aboutus.html

    I'm back to provide an update to my previous email. Still no one has contacted me despite me…read moreleaving a message for a call back, sent an email nor have I ever received an email confirmation for my appointment. However, I called to follow up and she told me she sees my appointment and when I asked to speak to someone regarding my email, she said no one is in the office but her. This is the 2nd time she said that and somehow as my tone accelerated doctors magically appeared. Now I'm 100% intrigued, they will see me tomorrow. This isn't a real place. Completely unprofessional and idk where on earth they got their license from because if you treat people like this, you should be out of business unless you're scamming. If you go far back into these review there are some pissed people.

    Pay attention to negative reviews from other sites too and you'll notice a pattern: although the…read moredoctor's medical service is great, her management of her office is horrible. If you run into any problems outside of appointments, she will NOT take just 15 minutes to return your calls to investigate or correct an issue, even if it involves an error that was made from within her own office (a different department, but still from within HER office). They'll make excuses that she is always busy with patients and can never call you back, even though Zocdoc will show that she has free appointment slots all day. The front desk staff is rude, even if you're just asking questions to understand a situation in which you're being overcharged hundreds of dollars. Choose at your own risk-- if you can afford it or have time to put up a fight until they finally fix their mistakes. Initially, there was an error in the mislabeling of 3 claims: one office visit and 2 labs. I came in for a physical, which is 100% covered by my insurance. My bill arrived, and I was charged around $325. Insurance said that my claim was mislabeled and all the office has to do is simply resend the claims with the correct labeling and my bill should be $0. I called the office. Front desk lady: "There's nothing that we can do. We're just the front desk. Call billing (separate business elsewhere)." I called billing. They called the doctor's office directly and had them resend the claim with the correct labeling....guess they could've done something after all. 1/3 claims solved. Now for the 2 lab claims. I called to ask for clarification. "Is that all you need?? OK, BYE." Sheesh. So rude! Another call: I tell her that only 1/3 claims are fixed, so they still need to fix the 2 lab claims. "We are just the front desk. Call the lab number on your claim." I called the lab (HQ, not the one within her office). "For any corrections to mislabeled claims, we need a call directly from the doctor's office. The patient has no authority to make changes to billing." I called the office to tell them this. "We're just the front desk, we don't handle labwork. The phlebotomist (within the office) does." She requested an email of my claims for the phlebotomist. I sent the email. 1-2 weeks later-No updates, no call-backs. I called the office, left a voicemail asking to speak with the doctor. 1 week later-No updates, no call-backs. Left another voicemail. 1 week later-No updates. I call back. Front desk lady: "We're just the front desk. We don't deal with correcting claims. Call billing." "You already gave me that number. I'm calling about the LABS now" "Then call the lab on your claim." "I've already called them. They said that only the doctor's office has the authority to make corrections, NOT the patient." "We're just the front desk. Call the phlebotomist" and then quickly hangs up. I call the phlebotomist. "Uh....I'm just the phlebotomist. I don't deal with coding of claims. You need to speak with the doctor directly by going through the front desk." ........I call the front desk and ask for the doctor. "She's busy all day, but will call you back if she can." 1 week later-No updates, no call-backs. I call asking about updates. "Ok, we'll resend the claims." 1 week later-No updates and still a charge. I ask my insurance for help and we do a conference call. My insurance attempts to convey the same message and the office lady repeatedly says, "This patient has been calling multiple times." (Uhhh, yes I have...maybe it's because we haven't resolved the issue yet....) Insurance lady gets frustrated and asks to speak with the doctor. "She's with patients and is busy. Call back tomorrow at 9." We call at 9:30 (when the insurance lady is available) and can't reach the doctor. "She's with patients all day and can't talk on the phone." Not even after appointments. I call at 9 another day and FINALLY speak with the doctor, which is difficult since she keeps defensively interrupting me before I could complete my sentences. Turns out that she had been trying to reach the lab to correct the labeling and did all that she could. There was just another issue occurring elsewhere which is why I saw no updates on my end......Then why was this never communicated with me??? We figured out that the phlebotomist had mistakenly sent my labwork to an out-of-network instead of an in-network site, which would've covered my bill. Since this was the office's fault, they agreed to correct it. It had to be THIS hard to FINALLY have this TEN MINUTE conversation. Had the doctor returned ANY of my calls, we would've resolved this months ago. I then tried to inform her about the office's customer service, but she kept defensively interrupting, then had another call. I asked when I could call her back. "At 10." Not surprisingly, again, she was "busy." I requested a call back. Of course, she never did. Doctor had her chance, so a public review it is. This office is a mess.

I was in severe pain for years after having everything reversed because I had a colostomy bag and an ileostomy bag I hadn't healed inside yet. however, when a certain person got into the White House, he started to attack anyone who was on pain medication so a Pharmacist at CVS pharmacy called him accused me of Doctor shopping because I had so many opioid medication's feel over a couple tears time. At this point I've been in the hospital over 30 times and when you're in the hospital, you don't get the same attending or hospitalist doctor and when you're discharged, they always gave me a prescription for pain medication 98% of the pain medication I never got filled because Dr. Turkewitz will take care of my Pain Management.. also Washington Adventist Hospital excepted me into a program would allow patients to come to the hospital to receive pain medication for breakthrough pain but first you had to agree to let them come into your home with an addiction specialist and an EMT to make sure you're not abusing the medication. Upon the time that I was running running out of the pain medication a couple of months later he had no bedside manner or remorse. He cut me off my pain medication, cold turkey, and as I said, I hadn't healed yet. I was still healing on the inside later at night. I was in so much pain that I was curling a fetal position and I couldn't take it anymore, so I attempted suicide and the addiction specialist who told him I was not addicted was working out of Washington at his hospital and he was livid.
