Like a lot of people (I think), I was a little nervous going in for a cardiology consultation. But the moment I stepped out the elevator, I was greeted warmly by the front desk and checked in quickly and easily. The medical assistant was able to take me in early, so I didn't have to wait at all in the waiting area. Dr. Rosenberg was friendly and thorough. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions clearly, and ultimately put me at ease. I never felt hurried or dismissed. I left feeling more informed and less worried.

Dr. Rosenberg was exactly what you want your doctor to be: pleasant, professional, and thorough. He was apologetic about the (short) wait time, and once in the room was quick to explain what he was doing and why. I'd recommend him without any hesitation at all.
I will say that I was surprised that the Medstar cardiology office insisted that I produce my insurance card — though this was already provided to them via ZocDoc. Likewise, they made me answer fifty or so questions about my health – most or all of which had already been answered and made available to them on ZocDoc. Why this duplication of effort still happens in 2018 is beyond me.

I was really impressed by Dr. Rosenberg. For my initial consultation, he spent 45+ minutes with me. He was incredibly thorough and willing to explain anything needed.
Dr. Rosenberg was serious in demeanor as he looked for answers but funny and able to lift the mood when appropriate.
I look forward to working with Dr. Rosenberg to get my health issues resolved.

I contacted the office four times so that I could receive the results of my tests and they never called me back. In addition, the doctor never gave me a thorough run down of my results and instead just said " you're fine".
March 13, 2018Dian H.Verified patient
Dr. Rosenberg & his staff are top notch professionals. This was my 4th appt. To start, I was called & seen at my actual appointment time. His nurse updated my info, ran tests, and was one of the most professional nurses I've come across. I have a few very rare & serious issues. Dr Rosenberg was very efficient yet thorough at the same time. During my appointment, he took the time to consult with my Internist on his approach for me & that level of collaboration is rare men my book, ranks him above the rest!

Dr. Rosenberg is an excellent, rare gem of a physician. In addition, the front & back desk personnel are a real pleasure to work with as well.

It was great to have a doctor spend quality time getting to know me rather than counting on others to do so.
He was thorough, caring and most professional .
