Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent, experienced, thorough doctor
I have been seeing Dr Adelson for over 30 years. He is a concerned and warm physician, and a good listener and communicator. His patience was particularly notable in his treatment of my elderly mother-in-law. I would--and often do--recommend him whole-heartedly!

He is a very good doctor but if you have Aetna, don’t go to him. They say they participate in Aetna but Aetna says otherwise. Contact Aetna, not the doctor to confirm

I called to reschedule my appointment with Dr. Adelson. Don't get me wrong, he is one of the best doctors in Washington, DC. However, the problem lies on the staff. First call I did today 8/31, the reception put me on hold for 7 mins.; I called back then again on hold for 15 mins., someone picked up the phone and hang up. Again I called, then got a voice mail saying the Office is CLOSED and to call back the next business day. I just don't believe it!!!
