Amazing staff - receptionists, nurses, anesthesiologists and doctors are all extremely professional and friendly. I'd like to thank everyone there for taking such a good care of me.
Raquel was so kind at the front desk and made me feel welcome right away. Great experience!
I was very anxious before my colonoscopy with Dr. Weinstein. But from the moment I was called in for the procedure, I was treated with the utmost kindness from the doctors and their assistants, all of whom displayed great thoroughness and professionalism. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Cole, patiently explained the procedure before administering the medication (as he told me, I was out in three seconds and awakened 30 minutes later feeling refreshed. Afterwards, Dr. Weinstein walked me through the findings in addition to presenting me a detailed written report including photographs. The lesson of the day: fear not. Do what you need to do. And use this practice, if you do

I was sorry this place has gone downhill since 10 years ago. Who owns and manages it now?? While staff members were not unpleasant, they seemed resigned and not particularly positive. Infection control was iffy (gloves not changed between handling a Starbucks cup, among other things, and removing an IV Needle, for example) None of the staff were wearing masks (we're in a CLINICAL SETTING, y'all!). The place was freezing cold (staff were also suffering, and they got to wear clothes and move around!), which is awful when you're already cold from being sleep deprived and on a liquid diet for over 24 hours. After the procedure, and a minute with the doctor, you're rushed out of there while still woozy and wobbly, despite being a fall risk or elderly. Also, there are no longer drinks or snacks given afterwards, because of "COVID" (allegedly), hmmmm....but it's ok not to have masks on?? Completely bizarre. Not sure if there are better places in the DMV, but I sure hope there are!
