Capital Women's Care

"I made an appointment 2 months ago. Check in time was 8:45. My appointment was at 9:00. They give a grace period of 15min. I was running 15min. Lare thought I would be ok. They told me check in was at 8:45 so my grace period was until 9:00. That is not a grace period. I went all the way their I reiterated that my Plointmebt was at 9:00. They told me because ai was a new patient They could not take me. I have been going to Womens capital Carw for years- just a different location. I had a 30min appointment and the next patent was already taken back. I was so upset."

"I’m only giving this place one star because it won’t allow me to give zero. As the saying goes, “there’s a first time for everything”. My daughter is 4 months pregnant with her first child and wanted to change her OBGYN to someone closer to work and home. She talked to her PCP for recommendations and her doctor raved about Capitol Women’s Care in Fulton, MD. My daughter reached out to them and was initially told that they may not be taking any new patients but someone would get back to her and let her know. This was our first red flag but she waited to hear back from them. Several days had passed and my daughter had not heard back from them so I suggested that she call. My daughter called and spoke to Nurse Stephanie. Nurse Stephanie said she needed to check my daughter’s chart before making a decision. She later informed her that their office could not accommodate her because of her size. This news was not only a surprise to my daughter but humiliating as well. I called back to speak to Nurse Stephanie’s Manager (Ms. Alicia) about the way this information was communicated to my daughter. I explained to her that it was hurtful and humiliating. Ms. Alicia said she would review my daughter’s chart and reach out to her. She did get back in touch with her but only to confirm what Nurse Stephanie has already stated. I just wanted to write this review because it is very disappointing that a young pregnant woman, who is already dealing with her hormones being out of whack, and dealing with uncontrollable weight gain due to her pregnancy, would be turned away because of her weight. It saddens me that she had to deal with type of discrimination at all but especially during such a delicate time. My daughter weighs in the high 200’s so if you are anything more than that, don’t even waste your time. I guess this office has an image to uphold so they are selective in the patients that they accept. I have also informed my daughter’s PCP about this interaction so that she is selective of who she recommends to this location. It hurts me to see my daughter hurt the way that she is. I pray no one else has to deal with this type of humiliation especially during a time that is supposed to be a joyous occasion!"

"I had terrible and unforgettable experience with this office in Maple Lawn. I had an abdominal abnormalcy and called to schedule an appointment. The front desk coldly told me that I had to wait more than a month, regardless my explanation of the abnormalcy. I was forced to go to Patient First because waiting for more than a month would be ridiculous. The doctor in Patient First ordered a CT Scan for me and I did (which I actually didn't need; I only needed to have a Ultrasound). It turned out that there are two cystic mass in my pelvic area, one is already 10cm big! My husband went to the Maple Lawn office to drop the CT result and scheduled an Ultra-sound in the office. More than a week later, when I was seeing my doctor, I was surprised to know that she had never received the CT result! The front office couldn't find it when I asked them what was going on! More frustrating fact is: I just had an annual check in July and my doctor (Dr. R) didn't say anything about the big mass. The surgeon who is going to do the surgery checked my previous Ultra-sounds and told me that the mass was already there back in 2021, yet my doctor in that Maple Lawn office had never mentioned it to me! How could the doctor and the front office staff treat a patient like this!"

"Dr Baras is very compassionate and understanding. She even held my baby during my annual exam! She gives you the facts and lets you decide on your own time when possible. I always try to schedule my next appt with her."

"Every doctor, NP, front desk staff, nurse are incredible. I had a lot of pregnancy anxiety and every person made me feel supported. Every doctor during my labor was incredible. I had hypertension after my C section and they all supported and took incredible care of me. I could never trust any other place."
