Richard Nemeth, MD

I have been seeing Dr Nemeth for several years, as well as my wife. His professional demeanor, bedside manner, practical advice, no nonsense discussion is highlighted by his attention to me as the patient. I am always delighted to be made to feel like I am the most important patient he has. My wife shares our experience and we can’t thank him enough for the wonderful care and concern he has shown us. If you are looking for that doctor that considers you a real patient and not a daily quota, make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed.

I called up Dr. Nemeth’s office as a potential new patient, expecting to be told there was a several week wait before anyone could see me. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered an appointment at the time of my choosing the next day. I don’t know whether there has been a change in staff or a change in attitude, but all the reviews about bad front desk staff are completely contrary to my experience — the staff is friendly and made me feel welcome and at ease.
Every time I have called the office they have attempted to work with my busy schedule, rather than the other way around. The appointments have not felt rushed and I have never sat through an extended delay. The nurses are very friendly and skilled. The doctors take their time to explain everything, rather than just throwing pills at the problem. I have recommended this office to colleagues and friends.

Seeing how I came across a Unilocal review before going to Dr. Nemeth, I figured it’s only fair to write my own.
Hands down, this doc is great — very personable, down to earth, and obviously well trained. I’m not sure what the negative feedback regarding teh front office is about, but it seems they have new staff which were also great and helpful.
Would highly recommend this doc to any of my friends & family. And if you’re reading this, then yes — you too.

I’ve been going to Dr. Nemeth for several years now and am writing because its a rare and pleasant surprise these days when customer service actually gets better. This is the one doctor in the DC area where I know I can get a quick, speedy and attentive care (especially since the rather gruff desk assistant he once had is now gone). Newer, better location and new, helpful staff.

I have to agree with everyone else about the front staff. Marie and Dr Nemeth are both fine and have a great bedside manner. Marie kinda reminds me of a caring grandmother who’s going to listen to what you have to say. Dr Nemeth I’ve only seen once so I can’t really comment.
The front staff is incredibly rude though. If you call and ask a question you can almost hear their «disgust» that you interrupted her day. When you do walk in for your appointment not so much as a hello or even a hint of a smile. They make me feel unwelcome. My insurance dollars are good elsewhere.

The doctors are great. The front staff will make you crazy. Too bad because the two women are losing them patients. We were left without a perscription on a Friday at 12 noon for anti-​seizure meds. They aren’t just rude they are putting patients at risk. I’ve seen unhappy employees but I’ve never been treated so poorly and will never be treated poorly again. I’m finding a new doctor.

I received medical care from Marie and Dr. Nemeth for the last 5 years. They are truly great. Most of my appointments were with Marie and she listens and truly cares for your health.
The reason why I left is the front desk staff. They are the rudest people I have ever dealt with. If you have a question and they are on the phone, they look at you like you’re bothering them and don’t make the slightest effort to assist you. God forbid you ask them for something (fax a prescription, a bill for your FHSA, another appointment time)…they will get so annoyed. One time I asked one of them to fax a prescription and she just said that she «couldn’t help me with that» and kept doing what she was doing. It took me a long time to find another doctor, but enough is enough. I refuse to contribute to these ladies salary and feel like I am the one working for them. I was always hoping that Dr. Nemeth would come across the many bad reviews on line and get rid of them, but no such luck. Off I (and many other patients) go!

Ive been going here since I was a kid. Very friendly staff and doctor. The nurse practitioner does out of her way to make you feel at home. Highly recommended to any one.

I just thought I’d take a moment to explain the med student thing — they’re visiting from whatever medical schools are in the area just to sit in on diagnosis, it’s more like their shadowing them.
It’s only happened twice when I’ve been in there and both times I was asked, clearly and directly, if I had any problem with the student coming in to sit in. Both times I was fine and one of the times the student had a couple of questions, other time they just watched. No biggie.
In some way you feel pretty good about it, they must be decent if they have students wanting to come in and I’m all for education.
