I have been going to Dr. Asuncion for about 30 years or so and cannot say enough about his kindness…read moreand compassion for his patients. I hope I never have to find another PCP because no one in my opinion could replace him.

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.

After losing insurance through Tricare, I had to shop around for a new doctor's office to go to…read more TPMG Holland Road came highly recommended by family friends. After going through their list of doctors, I chose Dr. Meagan Roenker. I've been seeing her for years and I have not been disappointed. When she is unavailable for an appointment that meets my sporadic schedule, they are able to set me up with Physician Assistant, Karen Patterson. She's been exceedingly helpful throughout the years as well. Most major insurances are accepted here. They provide a range of services. What is great about going to TPMG is that they have a range of branches that cover most specialities you may need. When I was having knee issues, I was able to see Dr. Saunora Prom with TPMG Sports and Osteopathic Medicine who helped me tremendously with getting back on my feet after a knee injury. TPMG truly cares about their patients and are always striving for a pleasant and easy experience. Their receptions are also very polite and helpful (which can be rare in today's day and age). Across the board, this is a well rounded establishment that can help you with almost any of your medical needs.

This place definitely has a 70's feel, with the walls being wooden panels and fluorescent lighting. However that does not deter from the excellent care I always receive here. I came in today to get my physical done for my graduate school requirements. It was not busy and I was in and out in about 30 minutes max. I've also recently switched insurances from Tricare to blue cross blue shield (he takes both!). I am always impressed with the attention to detail Dr. Miranda is and how I don't feel rushed like I do with other doctors.
