Our companion email list, the Cleveland Park Listserv, is a treasure trove of recommendations. We want to share on All Life Is Local, on a periodic basis, the best recommendations that have been posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv.

Thank you to all my Cleveland Park neighbors for your prompt and helpful responses. A number of people asked me to pass on the information I received, so I have compiled it here. (I'd also like to note that one person recommended my current physician Dr. Vivian Fraga. I am also a huge fan of Dr. Fraga, but unfortunately, she does not currently accept BCBS PPO. If she did, I definitely would not switch providers.)

Reiter Hill and Johnson 1) "Melody Abraham (part of Reiter Hill and Johnson) is fantastic; I hear good reviews about the other doctors in the practice (particularly Dr. Busch) as well. They have offices in Dupont and Chevy Chase, as well as one in Falls Church."

(2) "I have BCBS/PPO, and after a very BAD experience with Dr. Lori Picco, I have been seeing Dr. Ferdouse Sartawi at the practice of Reiter & Hill for about a year and been very pleased. She sees patients at two offices, one downtown and one in Friendship Heights. She's young, but very patient, takes time to explain things and answer questions, and never seem in a hurry. She performed a surgery I needed last year and everything went well. The practice also seems to be managed well, and I've never had any scheduling or billing problems (knock on wood!). Information about the practice is at http://www.rhjn-obgyn.com/ , and their other contact info is below.

Downtown office 1145 19th St. NW Suite 410 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 331-1740

Friendship Heights office 5454 Wisconsin Ave # 1035 Chevy Chase, MD 20815-6918 (301) 654-5700"

(3) "I'm 35 and married with no kids and highly recommend Dr. Paula Radeki at http://www.rhjn-obgyn.com/staff/cvs/radecki.asp - I go to the Friendship Heights office which is very conveniently located with parking or right off the red line. She's got a terrific bedside manner and is very sensible."

(4) "I like the Reiter & Hill group (about 10 doctors). I go to Dr Kim McKanders in their Chevy Chase location, and i used to go to Dr Rebecca Busch at their downtown location. Both women are wonderful."

(5) "The whole practice at Reiter and Hill take that insurance. The have three locations. My favorite is Dr. Muangman but they are all great. 301.654.5700."

James A Simon, MD is the sort of doctor I wish all mine were. He is highly trained, does serious research and takes time with and listens to his patients. (202-293-1000, http://www.jamesasimonmd.com).

Try Dr. Mark Reiter with Reiter, Hill, et. al. He has a location in Chevy Chase (near Friendship Heights Metro) and another one downtown. I know he takes the FEHBP Blue Cross insurance. There are also several female doctors in this practice.

I really like Dr. Amy Kesselman in Bethesda. They take BCBS.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kathleen Bis. She has a small office on M st. and one in Rockville. Her administrators have been with her forever. She operates like she's your own doctor, extremely thorough, personable and when you leave her office, you feel well taken care of, for sure. Her number is 202.293.4100. And, she take BCBS.


Kathleen Bis at 2440 M St. NW is excellent: 202-293-4100.
