  Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads Ruthless Hubris Care..., Mar 1, 2011

My mother resided at Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads in Falls Church, Virginia, where Dr. Friedman is one of the hospice doctors. Dr. Friedman was the last physician to ever care for my mother, although "care" seems too compassionate a term for the service he rendered. Despite a long history of medical records stating a drug allergy--and despite the entreaties of family members--he prescribed an increasing amount of a pain killer that elicited severe adverse reactions. After five days under Dr. Friedman's excruciating palliative care, my mother was dead. As I sort through her belongings, I cannot help but reflect on her zest for life. And I cannot help but think that had she had competent medical treatment, she could still be alive today.

  Great surgeon for laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder..., May 25, 2012

Dr. McDearmont did a terrific job and his staff was friendly as well. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. The recovery was seamless and I was back to work in three days!
  MAD DOG Millionaire aka Punyamurtula Kishore MD 20 20..., Apr 23, 2012

I was in a AA meeting once and the speaker mentioned Dr Kishore, and the entire room erupted into laughter. I saw him back in the late 90s and he was a quack then. He was FAR from free. He had been fined years ago because when you sat in his waiting room (an hour was considered quick) he'd bill the insurance co's for that time. Then once you saw him he'd tell you what a great guy he was for working with addicts. Ive been clean for over 10 years now and those professionals who really helped me were ones that didnt need to continiously pat themselves on the back. Addicts are a nightmare to work with, and I commend all those that put up with it all to help those in need. But theres no way you're ever going to convince me Kishore was one of those people.
  Broken arm that needed to be refixed after another guy screwed it up..., Mar 21, 2012

I went to this doctor after a car accident and the first doc screwed up my arm fracture. Dr Richmond re did it and I have almost a full recovery. He is very caring and took a lot of time to explain what needed to be done. He wouldn't blame the other guy, but I got the picture and Dr Richmond exudes competence. I felt very comfortable in his hands and would recomend him to everyone who has a broken bone.
  HORRIBLE DOCTOR! she is the worst Pediatrician in NJ..., Feb 10, 2012

"Dr Maggie" is the worst doctor i have ever met. She is rude, condescending and thinks she is gods gift to this world because she is a doctor. Is argumentative with new moms and will get angry with you if you ask a question more than once. She is such a horrible person I would not recommend her to my worst enemy! Her own staff hates her. DO NOT GIVE THIS WOMAN BUSINESS. She is in this profession just for the money. She could care less about you or your children!!!
  Money More Important Than Patient Care To Dr Chadha..., Jan 10, 2012

When I went to make an appointment, I was told that I was expected to pay between $200-$300 UP FRONT to see him because I do not have health insurance. When I explained that the number was completely asinine and I could not afford to pay that amount, the receptionist spoke down to me explaining that he "is a specialist and there are set value amounts for these things" that it "has to do with codes and other confusing things" that I just "didn't understand." This angered me, as I am currently waiting to sit for my RHIT accreditation through AHIMA, meaning that I DO understand and know how to code and bill for doctor's offices. Once I explained to her that I had never coded a chart for an office visit where a patient was required to pay $200 up front due to lack of insurance, she became annoyed and suggested I go elsewhere. I would NOT suggest Dr. Chadha or any of his associates at O'Reilly Medical Consultants because apparently money is more important to them than patient care.
