    I had an amazing experience. I felt the positive energy from the staff. The ladies at the front desk were awesome, they didn’t miss a beat. The medical person who greeted and escorted me to the exam room was wonderful. She was polite, professional, and friendly. Her smile and laughter were genuine. My doctor was great, he took his time to explained my condition and next steps. He laughed we laughed which made me feel comfortable and not nervous. The team was fantastic.

    Dr. Argintar is the BEST!!! He listens to his patients and genuinely cares about alleviating your pain. He's professional, kind, approachable, respectful, humorous, and most importantly knowledgeable. The entire staff from check-in to check-out are wonderful. The waiting room areas, exam rooms, and restrooms are very clean, and organized. I thoroughly enjoy being a patient at this location.

    Dr. Hampton is amazing! He has a great bedside manner. He is so kind and really takes the time to make sure he has answered all your questions. Everyone I dealt with was wonderful but Dr. Hampton is the best. I can walk because of him!

    Grateful for the efficiency of the check-in process. The medical assistant was very professional. Dr. Mesfin was thorough, encouraging, and invited me to call if I had any concerns. Great team work.

    Everyone was so kind and helpful and considerate. My Dr Tannous went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. He explained and showed me my MRI and gave me several options to consider!! He never pressured me about surgery !! The whole experience was wonderful!! I would recommend Dr Tannous and his staff to anyone!!! Thank you thank you !!!

    The medical teams at MedStar Washington Hospital Center are excellent—professional, efficient, caring. They earn five stars. However, Their services stand in contrast to the outrageous digital procedures of a corporate health care company which conveys only that they want to be sure you pay your bill. Give these corporate managers 👎

    Every visit to the MedStar Orthopedic has been pleasant from check in to check out. There is never a delay, I’m actually seen at my scheduled time. The nurses are very caring before and after my procedures. My doctor is fantastic he explains everything in a manner that I can understand and doesn’t give unnecessary medication.

    Patient intake was very organized. I only waited about 10 minutes before seeing a doctor. I felt that my exam was very through and the doctor asked great open ended questions to ensure a correct diagnosis. The facility was clean, inviting and cheerful. The front desk receptionists were polite and engaging. Overall my first time visiting this medical office was a great experience.

  • 2/5 Lawrence T. 2 years ago on Google
    I had surgery there after I broke my ankle. Did not have the best experience. The discharge nurse did not discuss my care with my wife nor did she ask where I wanted my prescriptions filled. This caused her to drive me to drive around to 6 different pharmacies to try and locate my medication. This was unsuccessful. My wife had to drive back to the hospital pharmacy the next day to get the medication. Follow up was terrible, saw the doctor who asked me to come back on a week, went to schedule the appointment and the front staff who he had sent me to told me to take a card and call the number. The offered me an appointment three weeks later. If my wife hadn’t advocated for me that would still be the case. Have not received my FMLA forms that I requested.

    Dr. Kevin O'Malley you are a "Beast". I was really in a lot of pain when I saw you in your office yesterday. You assured me that everything was going to be alright and I like that in a doctor. You also made me feel comfortable when I got the shot in my finger and it hurt so bad but, it's done. I will see you again in your office in June and we will determine if the shot helped. I'm very pleased with my orthopedic doctors. Dr. Argintar and Dr. O'Malley. My two favorite doctors. Thank you for helping me yesterday and I will see you again in 4 weeks. 👍🤪💕💞💖 PS: I really don't like the shots from both of you 😂🤣😂🤣

    In times like these. I use to work at MEDStarWHC-DC. I know they are short of staff. We are talking of a pt. Venus of 900+. With a ER packed, and several special units with patients on Ventilators with so many critically ill the patient ratio is 4-5 patients to 1 nurse. It is no wonder that nurses sick crying our sticking for money. I am tired of hearing the doctor's are working so heard. That's a nonsense. Doctor give orders usually at the nurse at the pts. bedside. The doctor's have a on call room. The retreat to the room an stay until really have to. Nurse's are now Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Midwife's, physician Assistants who no as must as physician. They function independently. They have proved to be just as valuable as many Doctors. The pay isn't nearly as high, but knowledge, realizability,caring, and hard work, schedule 's are Unreal. Their pay is rediculous. I ask you last week was Nurse's appreciation week. What did you do? When you see a veteran you say Thanks for you service ,give them special gifts, discounts, bulid them homes. Next time you see Nurse in a uniform, raise your right hand lower your head and thank them for service. Nurse she some sort of combat every day 7/24, 7 days a week. Oh, teacher's Nurses save live lives,whi about teaching, fear Covid19. They would stay at home collecting there full salaries. Well I am a 73 year nurse with abad spine, walking on 2kness bone on bone. Thank Got for Senior Dr. Malady who keeps me moving with injections in primarily things! Can buy at a Walmart Pharmacy. It is easier if you loose weight. My trip to Washington. Hospital Cost $150..00 round Atrip. It is so worth it. The Nurse's are wonderful they perform their duties like a well oiled machine. I am 73 yrs old an RN with 52 years of varied experience., I'm going back to work in 4 week. I Love MEDStarWHC-DC. Make an appointment if You are having backpain spinal,pain , sciatica. Ask for Dr. Kodgi, Senior, MD, Pain Management. If you are lucky you just might get an appointment and be more comfortable this summer. Respectfully, Phyllis Kilgore, Retired Nurse Anesthesia, and Professional RN.

    I am quite pleased with the excellent conservative treatment that is provided by the Orthopaedics Department at WHC Medstar through referral for physical therapy as advised when necessary, minimal shots and low dose medication monitored closely when prescribed. All is designed to improve the physical condition of patients. I have found all to have a quite supportive and professional attitude; that is true of the all of the staff I have encountered throughout the years--physicians and assistants, administrative and support staff. Moreover, I have found the physicians provide very clearly and succinctly all medical advice and explanations so that the patient understands what the treatment is and why the treatment regimen is advised and how it is designed to improve the patient medical and physical condition.

  • 5/5 Anita C. 10 months ago on Google
    Many thanks to Dr. Argintar who saw me for an Achilles tendon that was bothering me prior to my appointment for about two weeks. His leadership in caring for people made me feel comfortable through out the whole process. I really appreciated his service and putting me first!

  • 5/5 Emille R. 10 months ago on Google
    I was checked in quickly and easily and waited no more than 10 minutes to be seen by Dr. O’Malley. He was able to quickly diagnose my “trigger thumb,” described the treatments available, gave me a cortisone shot and sent me on my way. I was in and out in 30 minutes. And I really, really liked Dr. O’Malley. He has a great bedside manner.

  • 5/5 Prudence S. 1 year ago on Google
    The doctor leans forward, makes eye contact, starts with a gentle elbow bump, introduces his colleagues. Asks questions, gives clear explanations, shows me the x-rays and points out their features. All in all a confidence-inspiring visit. Ill return gladly.

  • 5/5 Karen W. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience was great. The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. I saw Dr. Svoboda took his time and explain my condition. He also assured that I understood what I needed to do and how he was able to help. He listened to my concerns which was a big plus, displaying a caring and thorough visit. His assistant Kelly was very nice as well a treated me very well. Lastly, the techs that put on my brace were pleasant and took their time in assisting me. Very pleased 😃

    Medstar Orthopedic has some of the best Doctors and Physical Therapist at Washington Hospital Center. They take the time to care for your physical needs. The before and after care I received after my surgery made the healing process go that much faster.

  • 5/5 shelia r. 2 years ago on Google
    I was seen very promptly by DrTozzi and he took the time to listen to me and address my issues very throughly. He had originally did my hip replacement surgery 7 years ago and I’ve been very extremely pleased with the outcome. This return visit was because I had fallen. The hip surgery remains intact, just bruising. I’ve actually fallen a few times in past and my hip has never dislocated. I believe that is a testament to the excellent job Dr Tozzi did during my original surgery. I would highly recommend him!

  • 5/5 Jim B. 1 year ago on Google
    As always, the orthopedic department is very nice, friendly, and helpful atmosphere. Everyone from the front desk clerks to the nurses and doctors are great. I enjoy seeing them. Some of the doctors even call me by my first name which gives a level of comfort I really appreciate, Especially Dr Tozzi. I have recommended a couple of friends and they are satisfied too.

  • 4/5 Furaha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great doctor-patient interaction. Doctor was calming and reassuring as related to my issues. The only complaint was the wait time to actually meet with the doctor but I realize that unforeseen circumstances most likely was the cause.

  • 5/5 Bernadette P. 9 months ago on Google
    The staff was professional along with Cooperative in meeting my needs. The nurses were exceptionally kind and patient and very informative and resourceful and any questions or information that I needed to know

  • 5/5 Patricia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Svoboda and Dr. Levine were great in analyzing and explaining my shoulder issue. The young black male assistant (forgot his name) that took vitals was amazing, professional and took his time to explain everything. The wait to see the doctor was a long. The facility was cleaned, the kiosk worked fine and my overall experience was great. I would recommend this facility to others nd return myself.

  • 5/5 Frances B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything went smoothly. Things were explained to me in terms I could understand. It was truly a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to my next visit

  • 4/5 Catherine H. 8 months ago on Google
    Rationale for rating: A doctor who listens, provides information and treats you with respect. A nurse, Janine who listens, smiles, and carefully makes preparation for the doctor. A nursing assistant who saw her job as important and did it well with with the same level of concern. Why not 5 stars? Management needs to supplement the IPad sign-in with other options. I knew how to use it. Even with knowledge of how to use the IPad, it was difficult for people with physical challenges who came alone. An elderly man was assisted by a younger guy standing next to him. Yet, we sign privacy agreements. This is a Management issue. Another simple issue: Give longer time for persons to respond to hearing their names to be called. There are a variety of reasons for a delay. An elderly woman with a cane, finally said, "I'm coming. I'm coming." The caller apologized. This can be easily corrected.

    Shattered my arm and elbow and admitted through shock trauma intake. Dr O'Malley is an outstanding and highly skilled surgeon who put me back together with screws, pins, and plates. A complicated surgery. I have since recovered complete range of motion and have no pain. During the healing process Dr. O'Malley had regular follow up visits with me to be sure things were healing well and address my questions and concerns. I have complete confidence and comfort in his care. He is exceptionally skilled, very knowledgeable, a great listener, a fine sense of humor and a warm and caring person. The staff is excellent, efficient, and well organized. Appointments are easy to make, and office wait times are relatively brief. I was indeed very fortunate to be treated here. I highly recommend Med Star Orthopedic center.

  • 5/5 Victoria G. 9 months ago on Google
    They are a very professional staff. It was a real pleasure to go to the doctors they don’t make you wait and they spend the amount of time that you need to discuss while you were there and all my years of going to the doctor. It has never been such a pleasure thank you thank you

    The front desk staff was excellent. The waiting time was minimal, and everyone had a smile on their face, eager to assist. The doctor knew precisely what to do and took immediate action. I was quickly in and out, back to work in no time.

    Wonderful staff,and Dr. Hampton is one of the best surgeons, to me, in the DMV area, and arguably, the country. The level of care is awesome! They put the patient first. They make you feel right at home.

    I arrived 15-minutes prior to my appointment (an early appointment, allegedly the first avail of the morni g) but didn't back into my treatment room until a full HOUR later - BAD! Check-in is redundant. I filled out the pre-visit questionnaire at home via the online system but was asked to repeat all of it at the I-Pad kiosk - WHY? -BAD! Your front desk staff - ONE person for way too MANY patients - was BAD! And that one woman was MEAN! When it was finally my time to go to my treatment room, my patient rep, JASMINE, was WONDERFUL! She greeted me with a smile and obviously introduced herself. She then asked me how I was doing and about my pain level. When my doctor finally arrived, he too warmly greeted me but was distracted and seemed a bit rushed during our visit. However, I do NOT believe that this impacted the quality of the care that I received from him. He took care of me. But being rushed with patients is a WARNING sign that something is VERY wrong somewhere in the patient care pipeline - BAD, this must be fixed ASAP! It negatively impacts the overall patient care experience, especially after waiting way too long to be seen by my doctor. There was no one seated in the "checkout" area to schedule my next appointments (x2). I was told to do that with the same MEAN woman at the front desk, who checked me in. She finally asked for help from one of her co-workers, in the back office, to do this. But instead of taking care of me at the front desk computer, where I was standing, she chose to stay in the back office at her own computer and then yelled questions & informationto to me from there. HONESTLY, WHERE DO YOU FIND THESE PEOPLE, who know absolutely nothing about customer service, how to ineract professionally with people/patients confidentiality, etc - BAD, you must fix this too! I'll stop here. Hopefully, you've heard enough to know the work that needs to be done ASAP to improve upon the services that you should be consistently supplying.

    Great office. All the staff is very helpful and nice. Administration was efficient and even went above and beyond to help me with my insurance. Dr Golden took great care of me, took the time to explain issues and cared about doing the right thing for my injury. Would recommend this office to any patient in need!
