To find a good doctor, find out who your doctor goes to.

Having just moved to Maryland, I went to Nighttime for something (stitches, I think) and when I asked the attending physician for a recommendation for a primary care physician, she recommended Dr. Lawrence Vidaver.

As a PCP, Dr. Vidaver is great because he knows who the best of the best specialist is. In addition to being very personable, Dr. Vidaver is also very good at explaining things, and he can point you to the latest research. Finally, he spends a good deal of time on each patient. This does make him run a bit late sometimes, but it's worth it.

Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this business was and how close it was to other shopping centers. It was so easy to find, I didn't have any trouble at all. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. I really admire them for being more than willing to ask for help from other professionals in the field when they don't have an answer to my question. They aren't even slightly arrogant, and I'm confident they always have my best interest at heart.

Although, the exterior of the building in rather new and very nice, and it is very handicap accessible, upon approaching the suite door you will notice that the area around the door knob is in rather tattered, as if there has been an attempted break in, and the repair job was very shoddy. This should have told me what was to come. However I entered anyway.

The entrance area and waiting area are all one, HIPAA (privacy) is not really an issue here, it is very easy to see charts, and anything you say in this area is heard everywhere else. If confidentiality is an issue, I would try to speak very softly, or maybe write a note. I personally found it very interesting the usage of one persons use of needles and the pharmacy reluctance to supply additional ones. Not to mention the conversation going on with the doctor and a different person in the examination room.

I was greeted by two young ladies behind the counter, one wearing scrubs, one I am not even sure that she worked there as she was busy on a computer reviewing her boyfriends email or cell phone usage, and not wearing scrubs. If you find vulgar language offensives, you might consider wearing earplugs as this is part of the normal speaking pattern of at least one of these young ladies.

After filling out, poorly copied and misaligned, forms my attention turned to remainder of the room. And oh what a room that is, there are several chairs a table a book shelf littered with various medication brochures, mostly sleeping aids, do you have a rx drug habit, did you know you can not be treated for this in the privacy of your doctor office with medications to take home, I had no idea either. However this shelf area is a great place to stand and listen to EVERYTHING going on everywhere. Back to the condition of the room. It is not well decorated, but I can understand that, really interior designers are overrated. And no one said that the waiting room should not have that free clinic feel. The water dispenser was something, FILTHY, but that really did not matter, due to the fact if you wanted water you would have to lift one of those 5 gallon jugs up onto the dispenser, who wants to do that anyway.

Although my wait was somewhat moderate from other doctors, I can only guess, like at a free clinic, I was lead into an exam room, oh lucky me. While there are many items in this room, all of them are very dirty. Yes, I stayed nonetheless. Please note that the young lady that took me in there did not close the door nor told me where I would want to sit, I choosing to stand, I read over more booklets, and listen to the conversations going on in the other exam room, the waiting area (the exam room door opens directly into there) and what the two young ladies were talking about. One is going to have a baby, the one that perhaps does not work there.

After my reading time, I decided that I really needed to wash my hands, as there was a sink right in the room, silly me I thought I could use that. What a mistake. Approaching the sink you see there was various food items dried in there, but I kept on my hand washing quest. Upon further inspection I learned that soap and paper towels are not normal items supplied in this sink area, there was not even a place that you see these items are normally kept.

YES, at last I left, if I could not wash my hand, I know the doctor was not going to be washing his.

I did come away from this experience with a great deal of knowledge, if it looks dirty when you first come it, it is going to be dirty everywhere.

Thin walls for exam rooms are a bad choice.

If no one wants to take your blood pressure, you might as well just leave.

What I need to tell the doctor when I talk to him so I can get pain medications. I had no idea, but the other persons in the waiting room were more than happy to tell a newbie. Although I was coming in for rash, and lump, and pain meds were on my agenda, it could be for you.

So in my opin
