Roger W Washington, MD

I found Dr. Washington to be very refreshing. I like him for the same reasons a lot of people on here are complaining about him. I am new to the area so I went through several doctors before I found one I felt comfortable with. I have had the same doctors back home for 12 years, so I was looking for a person with similar work ethics. If you are looking to go in there, tell him what «you think» you have bc you researched it on Webmd, and then get a prescription for your self diagnosis, then yeah. This is probably not your Doctor.

Great service, nurses were really nice. It was my first time with PPO type insurance and they walked me through the paperwork and answered all my questions above and beyond. Dr Washington was great with talking to me about my condition with professionalism and honesty. Made it very easy for me to understand what kind of condition I am dealing with. Instantly felt I could fully trust him with my health and any future issues I might have. Definitly 5 stars and recommended to all who prefer a real doctors opinion instead of just a text book answer that you could have Googled. My thanks to Dr Washington and his awesome staff.

I met this doctor for the first time and he is strange. His mannerisms convey annoyance and irritability. He has an elitist attitude mixed with condescension. He’s judgemental, egotistical, cold, and blames every ailment in life on sleep issues. I sleep well and never brought sleep up as an issue during my appt. He’s a debbie downer for sure. Just meeting him made me feel depressed. Save yourself this sh*tty feeling and go elsewhere. Even if you’re hard up for a doc visit DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR!!!

If I could give them a Zero I would, really rude front desk and especially the receptionist who answers the phone. Needs some lessons in phone etiquette. Good luck.

Very unprofessional. Went in for a simple visit that should take 30 minutes. .took 2 hours. Had nothing but issues with insurance, had to give informative several times. Front staff unfamiliar with billing practices. The last straw was receiving personal information in the mail from them where they decided not to seal the envelope. Will not be returning to this office!

He is fine. Not the best dr but he gets the job done.

Well, Let me start by saying I been a patient of Dr Washington for about 10 years, I have R.A. (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and had to take a medical retirement due to R.A. and some work related injuries.
Doctor Washington has been telling me for years about my sleeping pattern and how it could help my condition, but I never took it seriously only to suffer more because of lack of belief I even took his sleep class on the weekend but, never took the steps to put it into practice. Ten years later I decide to follow it and long and behold my R.A. is in control and I am off of all R.A. medications, that I believe was making me sick, i feel great and now convinced in his Sleep matters is the key to my success. The reason I decided to write about it was because like many of you I was wondering if this Doctor is a Quake and many of times considered should I call him or not because my sleep issue will come up, I’m so glad that he never give up on me and that I stay with him, About 8 years ago I had a Staph infection that was pretty bad and took about 4 – 5 antibiotics to cure it and Dr Washington was the Doctor that Help me overcome that, Thank You Doctor Washington, it took me a while to get on board but, once I did, I been reaping the rewards, I have have lots of energy, solid sleep, less flares and a life worth living even with R.A.
I highly recommend his book.; Sleep Matters

Not sure how good Dr Washington is: my family and I were there for the green card process, so we experienced the relation with the nurse/​secretary. The service is very slow (an hour to sign a paper) and the nurse is very messy. We had to send her the documents twice and she misread my husband’s shots card so she told him he had to take a shot that he already had in December… Plus she kept on calling us telling what we needed to have been done instead of checking everything immediately and letting us do it all at once. My husband lost several hours of work…

Not sure how I feel about this guy. He’s quick to jump to conclusions and does not seem to interested in finding out the root cause of your problem. Typical doc I guess. At times can seem condescending.

This doctor is a quack. He was my primary care physician, and he did nothing but monitor and ask me about my sleep every time I came to see him. He missed the fact that I had ovarian tumors, (they were later discovered in an emergency room visit that resulted in surgery). He missed the mark on my antidepressant medication and on my frozen shoulder after surgery. I eventually went to another doctor and am so happy I did! I recommend that you also find another doctor or better yet — avoid the «noid» and don’t even step foot in that place.

Dr Washington saved my life, for real. He is a great doctor who knows how to ask the right questions, to help you have a happy and healthy life.

I’m not sure why my review along with other negative reviews that provided very detailed accounts of people’s experiences with this «doctor» have been filtered out.
My review stems from my experience with him many years ago and I’m still scarred by it to this day…

«STAY AWAY» I would highly recommend this doctor to his family members; obviously they should be the only who thinks he is great. He is not in tuned with the patient, bedside manner is horrible. He does not focus on the patients problem. Maybe he is not getting enough sleep. He is prejudice against African American. My neurosurgeon recommended surgery based on MRI and CT findings; however, Dr. W recommends physical therapy and more sleep. He is way out of his league when it comes to practicing medicine. Word of advice. AVOID

Dr. Washington changed my life. Literally. I was at stanford for almost a year and a half and was severely ill for 2 ½ years. I was diagnosed with almost 10 different diseases and came to Dr. Washington at 94 pounds. I had 6 different specialist at stanford but after seeing Dr. Washington my health was completely different after a month. You definitely have to see him with an open mind, but if you give him a chance, I promise you, your health will improve and you won’t regret it. I’ve referred him to family and friends and everyone is better for it.

Dr. Washington is awsome!, I was referred to him by my co-​worker and I don’t regret it at all. his staff are super friendly and professional especially his assistant shes really sweet and always answers any questions I have regarding treatment or anything I want to knw about. plus she’s always happy and smiling;).
As Farr as some of the other reviews about Dr. Washington being «weird», I think they misinterpreted him and the way he presents his information. hes a good guy with great information and knws exactly what he’s talking about. I love that he always trys to handle problems «medication free» first .I would rather not have to be medicated if I don’t have to hence that’s way he always recomended that to always get enough sleep. its proven at least 8 hours of sleep is ideal even my personal trainer at my gym recomends that.
The office is very small but cozy. there’s always brochures and other information to read. its clean and well kept. most importantly every time I had an appointment Dr. Washington is always on time to accommodate me. give or take 5 – 10 mins. Isn’t a big deal.;)
So if ur looking for a great Dr. Who really cares and is extremely informative to his clients then Dr. Washington and his staff will gladly assist u .;)!!!

Dr. Washington and his staff are AMAZING! I went to see him after a trip to the emergency room. I had a pretty good scare and the doctor completely eased my fears. He sat and talked with me for over an hour. He answered all of my questions and showed a great deal of compassion. On my follow-​up appointment, he again spent a great deal of time with me to see how I was doing. I have never been to a dr who takes so much time to listen to their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Washington!

I am conflicted regarding Dr. Washington. I cannot cite a specific short coming in the actual care that I received, but there were issues that were based on his bias’ and not my condition. An example is as follows:
1. Every issue must related to the fact that I do not sleep enough. In my first or second appointment with him I mentioned that when I was younger I had issues sleeping. He seized upon this and it became the central point of every discussion. The issue was that he refused to accept the fact that an inability to sleep had not been an issue for many years and I currently sleep 8 – 9 hours a night.
2. He prescribed a change in medicine dosage for me and on my next appointment I told him it appears to be effective as I was feeling better. He was almost offended in his response and proceeds to tell me how most people react much more excitedly about the improvement. I can only assume that I must not have given him the ego strokes for effective treatment he was looking for when I told him that the change was effective and didn’t thank him for changing my life.
The other issue I have is his communication style that borders on ‘autistic’ in its detachment and awkward pauses.
I am changing doctors as I find the above take away from my overall quality of care received.

The doctor takes time to lisiten to his clients and takes time to find out how you feel and find out what is making you ill also takes culture in the visit outstanding staff and doctor he helped my fienace figure out what was wrong outstanding A+++++++++ Doctor and very educated

5 stars for my primary care physician.
The office is great and the staff is organized, so quick things like vaccinations are quick and easy. They have Relay Health, so you can also communicate with them online if you wish.
Dr. Washington himself has a great attitude to medicine, he takes a big picture view and is not the «let’s run a bunch of expensive tests» person. I guess he could make more money by being more conventional but that would just be sad. But this also means you have to be engaged as a patient and take responsibility for your health.
And the location is also great, close to where most of us work all day.

I used to work here. enough said :)
He is a very good doctor. but for many of you. you might not be used to his approach of treatment or how he acts. he can convey himself very confidently. but for some it may seem very uncaring/​cocky. it depends on the patient. i’ve seen it go both ways and I can see it why it goes both ways.
his true intentions. he does care for his patients… but it may not feel like it to the patient
