Dr. Nicole V. Lang, MD 3 Washington Circle Northwest This address is incorrect when you copy and paste into google, Washington, District of Columbia 20037

"Dr. Lang has been our pediatrician since day one, for the past 10 years and I cannot say enough great things about her. She truly cares about her little patients, she’s most knowledgeable and kindest doctor. And her staff is very friendly and nice."

"I have the greatest of confidence in Dr. Lang. My daughter just turned 21 years old. Dr. Lang has been her pediatrician all of her life. Dr. Lang gives one on one care. You may have to wait awhile. But in today's health profession, the wait is standard across the board, here in the DC area. It is clearly evident, that the people that complain are not DC natives. They must be from some remote farm area where the population is 1000. For others to post such negative comments on a medical professional of her excellent caliber, clearly need to be evaluated themselves for their mental heath."

"Parents beware. I visited dr Lang before my son was born because I needed a new pediatrician as my previous pediatrician was no longer in practice. I asked her a number of questions and she seemed pleasant enough. Do not be fooled! Her practice is a mess. After a less than a year of bringing two children under 3 to her I have had more bad experiences than I care to remember. Most of them were minor annoyances so I let them go as a bad day or a just a hiccup, but over the year I'd consistent poor performance I am changing doctors again. The only saving grace of the practice is the nurse practitioner Beth. She is wonderful and my daughter loves her. I believe there has been 3 different office managers since we've started going there last June. Whenever I call I get an answering service and often have to call back multiple times in order to connect with a person in the office. Dr Lang herself has terrible manner with me and with my children. I often schedule my appointments in the morning due to nap schedules. On three occasions I arrived about 5-10 minutes prior to my appointment time and the office was locked and no one was there. The last visit I waited 35 minutes past my appointment time before dr Lang showed up and when she arrived and I told her that I was about to leave because I didn't know if she was coming she actually yelled at me... you read it right, she yelled at me. In front of my two young children she was slamming her bags around and yelling about things that were going on in her personal life. I was shocked and a bit shaken. I would have left immediately but since she does not carry vaccinations in her office and I had just paid over $400 out of pocket for my children's vaccines from the pharmacy, I was stuck there. It was a terrible experience. I hoped she was just having a bad day and I tried again. Today was the final straw. She was late again - and we were stuck outside her office with $300 worth of vaccines. When she did arrive she did not even apologize, but rather she reprimanded my daughter for eating Cheerios in the exam room (my daughter is 3 and we had been waiting for almost 30 minutes). I am a pretty flexible person and I can completely understand that we all have good and bad days. An apology goes a long way to making things better. All this being said - I wish Dr Lang no ill will and I hope that whatever is going on in her personal life that is effecting her ability be a good doctor is resolved, however, I would warn any parent thinking of going to her to be aware that the experience and well being of you and your children are not currently her first priority."

"My son has been going to Dr. Lang for 15 years. In fact, she has been his doctor from the second he left the womb. He was 2 months premature and developed a blood infection. Dr. Lang stayed in the hospital all night the first few nights to make sure the hospital doctors were doing their jobs. And she has been great ever since. She is knowledge in her profession and Dom loves her! He told her on his last visit that when he aged out of pediatrics that she needed to move into regular general medicine because he couldn't imagine having any other doctor. He is at an age now where I do not go in the room with him during his examine and you can't imagine how good it feels to have a doctor that I TRUST in the room alone with my child during a very critical and vulnerable time like a check up."

"Dr. Lang has an unacceptable attitude to her little clientele. She might keep you waiting up to 2 hours, and it does not matter how sick your child is. It's faster and more efficient to go to ER. She never returns your calls - it's impossible to personally talk to her over the phone - she is obviously above such trivia. She does not seem to bother about possible allergies her use of an air freshener spray in hall and exam rooms may cause. Her treatment is mainly limited to a prescription of antibiotics. For a simple advice on the child's sleep routine, she directs you to a pediatric psychologist without any hesitation. We've had other pediatricians prior her, and know what a dedicated doctor is. Dr. Lang is not the one."
