Dr. Andrew Panagos, MD

Dr. Panagos has a holistic view and has saved me several times from unnecessary surgery. I would listen to him time Ana again before I’d goto any surgery or extreme treatment.

Was having trouble scheduling an EMG. The staff schedule me within 24 hours. Dr. Panagos explained the procedure and gave me results as well as a copy of the report in case the referring physician's office didn't open it. Wish he was still treating patients but happy he is still testing clients.

Staff called me back promptly when I had left a message. Paperwork sent to my email to fill out in advance. I arrived early, turned in my paperwork, and I was taken back to the room immediately. Dr. Panagos came in promptly and was very pleasant. He explained clearly what was going to be done, and proceeded very professionally to perform the tests for which I had visited. Dr. Panagos had a wonderful bedside manner. The staff was friendly and informative on my way out. Total time from parking lot to out and back at the car was less than an hour. Very impressive for any doctor’s office.

I called the front desk and the lady I spoke with was incredibly rude just bc I asked about other potential time slots during this week for a test. I arrived 20 min late to my 8am appt which I understand is my fault, but DC rush hour traffic is bad and this is the first time I have ever been fully denied a visit for showing up late by less than 30 mins at a practice in this medical center.I missed over 2.5 hours of work in the busiest time of my day, got denied service, was talked down to, and I will now not be able to get important tests done prior to my MRI next week. Dr. Panagos refused to see or speak to me. This is a unhelpful, arrogant, mean spirited and unprofessional practice. I would NOT entrust my health or my family’s health with Dr. Panagos or this practice.

Upon first impression Dr. Panagos was friendly and helpful. He went over my test results and answered what questions he could. He did not answer my questions in full detail and the appointment was rushed. Had to get a second opinion. It is to be noted that his staff were also rude.

Many years later I am still using Dr. Panagos. I have a condition that is not well known/easy to treat as it manifests in many ways. He is always on top of the latest research and really takes the time to understand what you do that might be creating a problem. In 2016 I had an incident that messed up my neck again. It's not great to begin with- we ended up doing a course of prolotherapy. I cannot tell you how much this changed my level of pain (went down immensely) & my quality of life (went up immensely). I understand that it's not covered & costly treatment but it truly worked. Dr. P is more of a partner in trying to get you well, than a typical dr who just gives you a script and sends you on your way. I feel so grateful to have found him back in 2009 & am thankful he is still nearby to help me when I need it. I cannot recommend him enough. His office staff are wonderful as well and do all they can to work with your insurance to get approvals and such.

Dr Panagos is a good doctor but did not give me correct treatment for my injury. However, after having visited more than 10 doctors offices in the past year, I can with certainty say that the receptionists at this clinic were by far the rudest staff and had absolutely nothing nice to say.

Dr. Panagos is a model physician. He is an excellent diagnostician and very compassionate. He listens and discusses his evaluation in language that I can understand. He invites questions and has such a wide range of experience that he brings to help guide your decision making. He will recommend exercise, PT, or further testing. He is very conservative regarding surgery and recommends all other forms of treatment unless it is truly necessary. For that reason alone, he is an excellent physician to provide a second opinion.

I had a lot of faith in Dr. Panagos due to his excellent bedside manner and the extreme confidence he demonstrated in his diagnosis. That said, Dr. Panagos missed the very specific root cause of my injury in the MRI (glossing over all the specifics in the report stating everything in my MRI was "consistent with aging"). Instead we pursued a course of experimental injections. During this time I was unable to walk without pain. I subsequently saw another Doctor that immediately and correctly diagnosed my issued based on the same MRI, with this new Doctor we pursued a course of treatment that has since ended my pain.

Dr. Panagos and his Office Manager, Susan could not have been nicer or more professional. Dr. Panagos is gentle, caring and very knowledgeable. He explained every step of the procedure I had done thoroughly and accurately. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED HIM TO A FRIEND AND LET MY NEUROSURGEON KNOW THAT I REALLY APPRECIATED HIS REFERRAL TO DR. PANAGOS

Lovely man; takes his time listening and talking to you; sympathetic.
