MedStar Health: Urgent Care in Gaithersburg at Darnestown Road

Nobody goes to an Urgent Care for fun, so I went there expecting to see the same robotic staff I was used to see in my former urgent care center. I have to say I was very impressed with how attentive and willing to help the staff that was working there were. The place is very clean and organized. I did wait more than I was expecting but once I got to see the doctor, she was very thorough and took the time to make sure she had covered everything before explaining to me in an easy to understand way. I will definitely recommend them.

I experienced some unexpected, unexplained pain starting Tuesday night that continued to get worse the next day. I decided to go to MedStar Urgent Care on Darnestown Road, hoping I could get some answers. The staff there can through. I was out about an hour after I arrived — as a walk-in. PA Samuel Cook was very kind and compassionate, listening to me carefully, examining me and giving me thorough, understandable explanations on next steps. I appreciate him and the rest of the staff very much and would highly recommend anyone who needs to be seen quickly, with something serious but not an emergency, to go to MedStar Urgent Care on Darnestown Road.

I had excellent care; the nurses were very pleasant and competent, and the doctor was patient and thorough. There seemed to be numerous patients and an ample number of nurses present, but apparently one doctor for the floor. This does not seem to be a desirable ratio. I have a similar experience a couple years go, with but one doctor and many patients for the entire section. I will say that in each case the doctor present did a yoeman job rushing from patient to patient without shortchanging and one patient, but the patient-to-doctor ratio does mean exceedingly long wait times for the patients.

I have been to MedStar Health urgent care a several occasions. Each and every time they have been extremely helpful and very professional. They get me in quickly and are very attentive to my needs. I highly recommend them for any after hours care.

Excellent service. All of the providers were kind, helpful and efficient. I had an injury that needed stitches and they did a great job. They also explained what they were doing and explained my care at home. Would definitely recommend this urgent care.
