I think they could be a little more open about telling you about your test results instead of making the patients ask them how they turned out telling you that everything looks good doesn't mean a lot other than that they are really nice and you don't have to wait very long and dr. B well always have small talk with you that makes you feel relaxed very good office

Five stars all around - HIGHLY recommend! My husband and I moved to Hagerstown this year and we were searching for a family practice, especially with a baby on the way. I saw Ashley during the first visit and she is the best! I truly appreciate her kindness, honesty, professionalism, patience, and the stories she shares about her personal experiences as a mom. I saw Dr. Bodenheimer during the second visit and hes very knowledgeable, friendly, and great to talk with. Our last two recent visits were with Ashley and our newborn daughter. Recovery from labor/delivery has been rough and as new parents

Foremost, I trust the medical guidance I get from the providers. They allow me to be part of my medical plan as well. Super friendly staff and I never wait more than a few minutes regardless the time of day.

We went for our first visit today and met Ashley, the PA. She was great with my daughter, and we got along very well. She is caring and respectful, and we will be going back for sure, our entire family. I love that this is a small family practice, not some office under the umbrella of some large-scale medical business. We do not want that. Oh let me not forget to mention, the front office staff were so friendly!
