  I've been seeing Dr. Katherine Barrett at Capital Area OB/GYN..., Nov 27, 2009

I've been seeing Dr. Katherine Barrett at Capital Area OB/GYN for at least 10 years and I will continue to have her as my physician. She is very personable and friendly and I feel very comfortable sharing and concerns or questions with her. She has an easy bedside manner and is gentle during her exams; she also utilizes a nurse in the room to ensure proper procedure. She makes me feel welcome and is non-judgmental. I also enjoy her sense of humor and willingness to share her knowledge and personal experiences with me. She is a fantastic doctor and I have recommended her to a few of my friends already.

  Left feeling 10 times worse, Dr displayed little concern for my health..., Jun 30, 2010

I didn't have a great first visit with Dr. Fenlon, but thought maybe it was just me, so I went back to her a second time. To make a long story short, I had some symptoms I was really disturbed by, she was rude to me from the moment she came in the door and completely blew off my concerns. I'd written down the issues I've been having lately and she didn't bother reading it and instead spent the appointment making me feel stupid for even coming in. Hands down the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor. I've already found a replacement.
  A good primary doctor in the northern virginia areea..., Jun 2, 2010

I visited Dr. Weaver for a checkup and physical in April 2010. First off the office was pretty large and there were a lot of people waiting to see a doctor, but the staff at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The nurse called me right on time, and was also very friendly in everything. When I met Dr. Weaver he was also friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions sufficiently. I have no reason not to go back to see him again.
  Dr Rojas is the best doctor I have ever gone to becuase she really helps her patients...., May 15, 2010

I would highly recommend Dr Rojas to any friend. The only negative about the visit is the waiting time. Dr Rojas is so popular that she is always fully booked. But aside from this it is well worth the wait. She asked me very good questions and then gave me all the possible options for treatment. She lets her patients choose which one is best for them but if there is no choice she is quite firm, which I highly respect.
  My physician failed to acknowledge, address, and eliminate the source of my pain...., Mar 28, 2010

I had a spinal tap, in order to insure that my persistent flu like symptoms and fever weren’t meningitis. I saw Dr. Thakur to follow up. I had a persistent headache, and he informed me that it was a spinal tap related headache. It was caused by leaky spinal fluid. He advised me to go home, lie flat, and wait for it to go away. It never went away. I used up all of my sick leave at a new job. My headache was present whenever I was upright. These headaches are a lot like migraines in their level of pain. After many weeks, I asked him about a blood patch. My supervisor at work had the same problem after a spinal tap in the past. He told me about it. After I made the suggestion to Dr. Thakur, he referred me to have one. I felt better before I was off the table. Because I’ve had a problem with doctor’s failing to listen and/or address my ailments in the past, I stopped seeing Dr. Thakur. He’s a nice enough guy. It’s easy to establish a rapport with him, but, ultimately, he left me in pain for far too long. Missing days of work, in the modern age, is a quick way to lose your job. I need someone who is mindful of that fact and considerate of my pain and discomfort.
  I had severe chest pain that my regular pain medication was unable to alleviate...., Mar 8, 2010

I have chronic pain conditions so pain is not an unfamiliarity. But, a couple of weeks ago all of the sudden I was overwhelmed by a pain in my chest that my medication was unable to help. At one in the morning, my mom and boyfriend rushed me to the ER where I was tested for a variety of chest conditions. Following six hours, I left the hospital with no answers - just a perscription for a much stronger pain medication. After two days, with the chest pain still very intense, I signed up for an appointment with my primary care physician, Dr. Beck Soderberg. Since he manages my pain medication, I figured I would just get a refill of the dilodid that the ER doctor had written for me. However, cautious not to cover real problems with pain killers, he put me on a prednisone routine. After two days on prednisone I could finally breathe freely and the pains was gone. Thus, Dr. B was very helpful in my situation. I would definitely recommend this doctor to a friend.
