"Dr. Bisk is a very professional and personal doctor. I have been her patient for over 40 years. Provides important physical examination with genuine care in a relaxed atmosphere."

LocalityBiz (Review of Primary Care at Silver Spring)

"My appointment was for 8am. Three people who came later than me were seen first. I didn’t get called until 8:30... Dr. Francis was ok although she was very dismissive of my perimenopausal symptoms and basically suggested I 'deal with it'."

LocalityBiz (Review of Primary Care at Silver Spring)

"The office is very disorganized and abrupt. Dr. Dhar has a very poor bedside manner. I will not go again."
