Marge is very kind and really wants to help you with your problem. She tries to problem solve and thinks of ways to modify your behavior. Her specialty is cognitive-behavioral therapy, so often she gives you assignments to do after the session, which help a lot. She's not one of those psychologists that just want your money, but really wants what's best for you. I rated her as "expensive" only because this type of service is all expensive, aren't they all?? If she can't help you with something, she will honestly tell you that and suggest other avenues to take. I trust her very much and don't think she would take advantage of me, like some medical specialists did to me before. If her methods are what works for you, I highly recommend her.

Less than so-so and I don't have trust in the dentist

It wasn't easy for me to get an appointment here. When I first tried to schedule an appointment, it took me almost a year to get a check-up appointment. From that, I thought the dentist must be really good, that's why he has so many people waiting to see him. Now I've been there several times and I have no idea wonder why it takes so long to get a check-up appointment; the office never seemed busy while I was there. The dentist himself seems competent enough at first, though I did have minor problem with a job he did. I recently went to see him because of the same problem, and he denied that he did it and claimed that it's another tooth that I should have problem with (but I don't!) It made me feel that he was avoiding my concern; in the end, he did not answer my question. I told him that when I was brushing my teeth and some white stuff came out, and all he said to that was, "oh, some of the cement probably fell off.", and he didn't even continue to advice me on what I should do, or offer to do something about it. I left with a not-so-good feeling and I don't want to go back.
The good thing is that they got rid of the hygienist that I'd seen before, who would not talk to you at all through the whole teeth cleaning. That was a torture for me. They have this hygienist who was pretty good at explaining to me what's going and what I should expect. So I guess they improved some and got worse some for me. I'd have said he was an OK dentist, now I am not even sure if he is oK at all...

I really liked Doctor Rost but the waiting time and rudeness of the staff was enough to make changing doctors worthwhile. The last straw was when I couldn't get a callback on a prescription within the promised turnaround.

When I first met Dr. Wellman, I thought she seemed nice and was a soft spoken person. She seems pretty organized and efficient with her practice, but I would NEVER NEVER recommend her to anyone. I was her patient for several months now so I think I can talk about her with certainty. 1) Dr. Wellman is very prescription-happy: What made me feel a bit uneasy about her is that she seems too quick to write prescriptions. On multiple occasions, she gave me new prescriptions to take based on too little information, I think. 2) Dr. Wellman cares only about money: She seems to care about how much you owe her more than anything else. It's definitely more of a "business for profit" for her than trying to help people. She's more into her own best interests than your mental health. For example, she would make you sign a lot of agreements that benefits her (such as how much she charges late fees, xerox fees, etc.), which is fine, but she wouldn't make a copy for you, so you don't have a copy of the agreements for reference. I've been to other similar services and they've always given a copy to me to keep, but not Dr. Wellman - that's why her practice stood out to me. Also, she explained her terms on the agreements to me verbally and I trusted her so signed, but in the end what's on the paper wasn't what she said to me. 3) She doesn't listen to you: She's definitely not the kind of doctor that would work with you. Whatever she says goes, no room or even CHANCE to negotiate at all. No point in telling her your situation b/c she'd say that she has no time for that b/c she has other people to talk to. I am so upset by her that she did me more harm than good, overall. In summary, I would not recommend her at all and she's the MOST uncaring health professional I know. If you choose to see her (good luck), don't forget to ask for copies of papers that she makes you sign so she wouldn't use it to screw you over (and she might charge you for the copies, also!)

State Dental Board is neutral

More 5 months ago
Based on the findings of an extensive investigation, The Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners has revoked Dr. Alalouf's license. This is not a case of jealousy or witch-hunting. I wish it were. Sadly, and scarily, this is a case of a guy with a great bedside manner and a great office, who is also an unethical con-artist. Dr. Alalouf was found to be drilling "cavities" that didn't exist, in patient after patient, and giving general anesthesia to children who didn't need it. He was also found guilty of insurance fraud. It is hard to admit that a trusted person among us is actually a scumbag, so I don't blame some of you for trying to call this a witch-hunt. But you are in denial. For your own children's protection, think about it. The State Dental Board that revoked Alalouf's license benefits in NO WAY from doing this, other than to protect their name and the name of dentistry, to ensure and maintain ethical practice standards, and to protect innocent patients. Nobody has sued Alalouf or made money off of him. This is not a legal case. This is an investigation conducted by neutral authorities, that cost them lots of time and money that they would rather have not spent. The outcome is sad, but is in everyone's best interest.

More
Almost always available for those crazy emergencies that overprotective parents want a doctor for but don't need. Care is adequate to good, though the assistants are somewhat grumpy. A little intimidating for young kids. They have a nice facility, and relatively good pricing. Your only choice at 10 pm besides the emergency room. Great Rockville location.

Dr. John Choi is a very caring, warm, and friendly pediatrician. He is kind, gentle, and really takes his time with parents.
We did have to leave him since I don't believe in vaccinations and he does, and won't accept non-vaccinating patients. However, he's really great if you do want to go ahead with vaxes.

im not impressed, but we were waiting forever for an appointment, they do an okay sonigraph but i dont have anything to compare it agianst, but overall it is a professional atmosphere, i didnt have a big problem, and they gave me the feeling that they didnt really care that much, on the other hand, i go the prescription that i needed right away, but then again i had to come back for another visit when i wanted to get it refilled,
the office is nice becuase they offer magazines, many of which you can take away for free.

Dr. Donald McGriff is a really nice guy and he's been working on my husband's back for about a year now. The best part, which should be important for any practice, is that Dr. McGriff works on his patients himself - not some partner or doctor in training.
He has another office, so he's not there in the afternoons or in the mornings on certain days. That's our only problem with going to him. He's funny and takes good care of his patients.
