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.

My experience mirrors that of Jessica: A very expensive waste of time. The third visit she was late. Not five minutes late, but an hour and a half late. And once I gave up on the appointment and attempted to leave and return to my office, the staff threatened to fully charge me for the visit, irrespective of whether I saw her or not. Once I finally got my audience, I realized that she was asking the same questions from the first visit. She hadn't even reviewed her own notes (read: wasting my paid-for time and therefore money). When I suggested that the answers were already in the notes she took on the first visit, and that I'd like to move the ball forward a yard or two, she became cross. It was then that I understood I'd been fleeced, that the hoped-for care would never come. Chutkan then charged me again just to get the medical records I originally brought her.

I have been in the care of Dr Chutkan for gastroenterology exams for a decade and in all my visits and exams she has been informative both before and during appointments. I am equally appreciative of her staff's attention to details during the planning and coordination of the appointments, including timely followups to ensure proper preparation for the exams as well as taking care of administrative matters. I highly recommend their practice.

Dr. Chutkan and her office manager Samira are positively incredible. I first met Dr. Chutkan and Samira when I was very sick. Dr. Chutkan vowed that I would get better if I followed her plan. I can tell you that not only did she cure me...I have never felt healthier. I went to many "expert" physicians who told me they couldn't figure me out and didn't know how to treat me. Dr. Chutkan was calm, kind, and confident that she would heal me. People often seem surprised that I would travel from New York, all the way to DC for medical care. I can honestly say that I would follow Dr. Chutkan and Samira anywhere! Digestive Center for Wellness is a model for how all medical care should function. Intelligent evaluation, respectful and kind treatment, the utmost professionalism and superior medical advice. I am forever grateful.

All Dr. Robynne Chutkan is talking about is true but in segments. For example she will break down the house to bricks, doors , windows. She will make u think how to rebuild that house,,your body, to a new perfect house? Yoga, yes! Meditation, yes! Most people who listen must simplify their living. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds twisting the body back and forth, left and right on empty stomach, Then circle but in horse shoe fashion. Do not move the lower body. You will connect with outer dimensions. All deficiencies will disappear. For more information read my book on developing CHI Life force. Read “God’s quantum vortex” vol 1 & vol 2. I have 900 pages of examples of encountering God’s manifestation and how I survived life changing events, most people may not survive to tell the story without it. All that was while I was a smoker for 40 years and definitely eating all wrong foods. Diet ok, but think how to create the CHI life force to connect with God!

By the time I met Dr. Chutkan, I had already seen dozens of physicians looking for the cause of my various symptoms including extreme fatigue, bloating, constipation, multiple chemical sensitivities, light sensitivity, weight loss, and debilitating neurological symptoms. Thanks to Dr. Chutkan, we were finally able to identify the root cause of my health challenges and establish a safe drug-free approach to healing.

She comes across as very caring during the $1000 initial consult but her actions don't back up any level of care. We walked away with zero new information except that she couldn't find anything wrong. Staff is rude and so is the doctor when you challenge her for not returning calls.
