Great place to go for health care if you don't have insurance. Professionals care, its a blessing to have this type of care.

There are many things I can say about with those to Community Clinic. As a patient there for so many years, I’ve experienced many aspects of The Clinic and I may have to do more than one review.
It seems BCC has gone completely mobile at this point. They have always tried to help as many patients as possible. However, they know not every person can easily travel to their office so they have made their best effort to get as close as possible to their patients. Dates and times of where they are can be found on their website. Plus, they return to the same places/area monthly to make sure patients receive their scheduled meds and regular care. Not to mention there are additional programs and assistance that can probably be fine on that one side as well. The bottom line is BCC is a faith based clinic that works overtime to make sure our community is healthy. I appreciate them, they’re volunteers, anyone who is supporting them, etc. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them.

I went to Bethesda last April because I had some major gyno problems. I paid my obligatory $25 and saw one of the doctors there for my gyno problem.....so I thought. I got in the room and sat in the chair and they took my vitals. Cool. My blood pressure was elevated, but the rest of my vitals were good. I'm overweight. I get it. I was trying to work on it; but my gyno problems are worse than me being overweight. Doc comes in with a med student; which is cool. I tell the him what's going on. He writes a few things down; and he proceeds to lecture me for 30 minutes about my weight, my eating habits, and my elevated blood pressure. The lecture he gave me gave me not only made me feel bad about myself; but HE DID NOT ADDRESS MY ORGINAL PROBLEM! He prescribed some pills for my blood pressure and other pills and sent me on my way! I get that I'm overweight. Yes, I do need to exercise and eat better. Again, THAT'S NOT WHAT I CAME IN THERE FOR!!!!!!
I was vulnerable and sick! And all he could see was my weight problem! He is a cardiologist and if he said, "Hey, I don't know how to treat your problem, I'll refer you to our NP who has more knowledge about gyno problems." I would have been ok with that. But the fact that he didn't see past me being overweight; and made me feel worse than when I went in, is not acceptable. I don't care how affordable it is, nobody should be treated like this.
A few months later I finally had to go to a more expensive doctor to finally address my issues. Turns out my weight has NOTHING to do with my gyno problems. And I had to pay A LOT more money (that I didn't have) to see a gyno that actually FIXED my problems.
Do better.
