Michael H. Hotchkiss, MD PA 11350 Pembrooke Square, Waldorf, MD 20603

"BEWARE!!!! Do not come here if you suspect you have anything remotely serious going on like PCOS or endometriosis. Doctor basically pushed me and my pain aside all because my “blood work was normal”. My ultrasound showed various abnormalities that he didn’t care about whatsoever, and when I expressed concerns about my pain severity while he was reading the test results he told me to take a diuretic or drink papaya juice……PAPAYA JUICE for crippling and debilitating pain. Went to a specialist and was diagnosed with severe endometriosis. Even he couldn’t believe how badly I was disregarded by Hotchkiss, because if I hadn’t listened to my gut about my pain who knows how long I would’ve had before infertility was my reality. I think it’s time for Hotchkiss to retire for that alone. You could’ve destroyed my future over your incompetence and you don’t even care. Also during my exam he touched my stomach and goes “wow you have a soft tummy.” ??? Such a creepy old man."

"If I could give 0 stars I would. I don’t even know where to begin with these people. DO NOT GO TO THEM!!! The old wench that always answers is rude and very dismissive. When I was in labor calling to get the doctors help she was being rude to me saying im fine when I was clearly progressing. I went every year for testing and they never tested for something knowing I kept getting BV and had an ongoing infection due to their lack of listening to me telling them it was something else going on!!! My doctor decided to sit at home shower and eat food than to come deliver my child and had someone else do it. I shouldve been at the hospital sooner because I needed antibiotics before delivery. They have fell short so many times with me and all I get is smart remarks from staff. Dr. H is a good doctor but nobody on his practice is truly passionate about their clients. All they care about is the money its sad."

"(Dr. Hotchkiss knows me as Emma Halsrud) He is by far the best doctor I have ever been to. He is the only one I trust with my pregnancy. I had him as a doctor with my first pregnancy and currently with my second. He is the sweetest, most knowledgeable doctor. I recommend him to everyone I know. His entire staff is so so kind and very professional. Everytime I walk into the door I feel welcomed and feel calm knowing I'm in great care. I truly don't understand why there are any bad reviews on here because he is simply the best there is!!"

"Doctor Hotchkiss delivered 3 of my 5 children way back in the 90s!!! He did an excellent and amazing job. He is by far my favorite and most professional OB/Gyn. He always had time to listen, address concerns and make me feel comfortable. Even in labor his bedside manner was great. He is serious about his work and he can also joke around with ya to lighten tension when those labor pains would hit!!! We didn't have Google review back than so I'm leaving my review 27 years later! He delivered my 2nd, 3rd and 4th children. My first and 5th deliveries were elsewhere. I absolutely loved having my babies and having them every 2 years was a good experience for me. I was young, in my 20s and had the energy to be a very active momma! I'm now 48 and I'm hoping that Dr.Hotchkiss will now see me again as I'm not sure but think starting menopause!?!?! Wish me luck!!!"

"Dr. H has provided me nothing but warmth, caring energy. Every birth experience I’ve had has been nothing short of amazing. This office makes you feel like family. Ashley is so kind and always answers the phone when I call by name rather than just a generic greeting. Ashley pre scheduled all my appts for the year and even wrote them down for me to have!! Judy is super supportive and steps in for Dr. H whenever she can and I love that. I wouldn’t want to be at any other doctor for the care of my children/birth experiences. Thank you all so much for being such a light during my pregnancies."
