Fusner June E, MD

loved this practice. they’ve closed but Nancy Hoover, the nurse practitioner, is continuing on at Capitol Medical Group and she was really fab so definitely consider following her on. The one-​star rating and objection to rectal temp by another reviewer is bizarre. Its standard practice and the most reliable way to get an accurate reading for a baby. The nurses and techs at the practice were always so nice, and more importantly both competent and gentle with our baby.

Dr. Fusner is the best! I’m sorry to inform you that she is retiring and closing the practice on May 2015.

Ok so the nurse at the front is great i will this practice that much, shes been the best I’ve come across in all the pediatricians Ive tried in the DMV area… Dr Fusner on the other hand was not as good as the reviews led me to believe. On our initial visit the another nurse did a rectal temperature check on baby (which was never done on our other daughter at a different practice we usually went to). we weren’t comfortable with this and spoke with the Dr Fusner about it but she was dismissive and basically told us that there was no way around it – ok i get that the measurement is more accurate that way but I dont want to put my little one through that every time i go there… so we’re going back to our other practice. Thanks.

Excellent practice. We LOVE Dr. Fusner and Nancy Hoover. Everyone in this practice is knowlegable, attentive and responsive.

Both Dr. Fusner and Nancy Hoover are some of the best doctors around. My family has been going to them for over 20 years. They are not only fantastic at practicing medicine, but their office also provides great service. Their staff have been constant for years, including the nurses and reception staff. Its always great to know you are going to get the best medical care available. They also participate in most insurance plans which can be difficult for such a small practice.

A very solid smaller practice. Both Fusner and Hoover are great — Hoover is an expert in breastfeeding and we credit her with solving some problems for us in that department.
Clean office, professional staff.
Bigger than a one person operation, but not a huge practice.

We love Nurse Nancy and Doctor Fusner. We have zero fears about going to the doctor from my 2 year old thanks to this great practice. I love that the practice is geared towards keeping kids healthy naturally before slapping antibiotics on them for everything. We have really appreciated their approach to staying healthy. Great practice with a great approach. Not the fanciest facility, but I am more concerned with care than spanking new and medical feeling facility.
Both Nurse Nancy and Dr. Fusner are so willing to answer any questions and talk through any medical issue with you. Dr. Fusner has also taken many very late night calls from us when my son has spiked a very high fever or had a scary tumble.

Dr. Fusner and Nancy Hoover (N.P.) are both wonderful — we’ve been with the practice for nearly 4 years and they are great with both our boys. A good practice if you’re trying to find a more natural approach to parenting.

Love this place! They do what doctors should do, keep my family well and off drugs NOT on them.

I am still shaking just thinking about what happened today in Dr. Fusner’s office. Basically, one of the staff members made an appt for my daughter (who would be a new patient) over 1 month ago, but they are not accepting new patients, which I found out when I arrived at the appt. When I arrived, they told me that they couldn’t find her chart and then asked me if I have ever been there. I said no and they said ‘oh, you are the mystery patient.’ They proceeded to explain to me that they are not accepting new patients, but since I am here, they will see if the doctor will see my daughter. Lucky for me, the doctor said that she would see my daughter. After 45 minutes of waiting, my daughter was called. The nurse who took my daughter’s weight, etc, was extremely nice. However, when Dr. Fusner came in, she immediately began with — so I think you know that we are not accepting new patients, but since you are here, I will see you. Then she asked me if I just moved to the area because why would I need a new pediatrician, doesn’t my daughter already have a pediatrician. I answered her saying that we did just move here about 1 year ago and I had a pediatrician for my daughter but I wasn’t satisfied with her. She said ‘WELL I DON’T THINK YOU WILL BE SATISFIED HERE EITHER.’ Then she began asking me about my daughter and why we were there today. I was in awe of what I had just heard. I responded with ‘Wait, why don’t you think we will be satisfied here?’ And she said that they are not accepting new patients and explained that situation in detail. And then she said that she is double and triple booking all of her appointments and that she can only spend about 10 minutes with her patients. Plus, she said, my daughter and I live TOO FAR AWAY, why would we want to go there, it is TOO INCONVENIENT for us!!! That is when I had enough — I told her that it is not my fault that someone made an appt for my daughter when you weren’t accepting new patients; that if she didn’t want to see us, she should have told us from the beginning rather than make us wait not only a month but an additional 45 minutes in the waiting room after you were told we were here; that when I found her on my insurance website, the website says that she is accepting new patients; and that it doesn’t seem like she wants to see us nor will she give her entire effort in seeing and treating my daughter, so I no longer wanted to be there and that I wanted my money back. She apologized and said that I could get my money back and she let me walk out the door. I went to the front desk and she told the people at the front desk to refund me the copay I paid. Not one of the people at the front desk acknowledged nor apologized for the situation, and not one person in that office acknowledged what I lost in all of this. For some reason, everyone there looked at ME and MY DAUGHTER as the guilty party, when we were just trying to see a pediatrician for an annual checkup.
