Great doctor who took the time to fully understand my medical concerns and walk me through all my options. I completely trust his medical opinion and felt confident that I was getting the best care possible for my issues.
Verified patient
The doctor was extremely rushed and clearly couldn't give me more than 60 seconds of his time, which is disappointing after waiting 90 MINUTES in the waiting room, but he was friendly, clear, and quickly administered the shot I needed in my knee.I would not recommend using MedStar Georgetown as their gigantic building was very confusing and front desk staff was rude, but the doctor himself was knowledgeable.

Have your questions written down so you can get all your questions answered! He does take the time to answer all your questions..... EXCELLENT EXCELLENT

Excellent. Appreciated work
Verified patient
Everything very good. Unfortunately the "welcome or reception" is extremely unfriendly, no smile, no nice word, people do not look at you when speaking... This should be improved, particularly because as a patient I am already a bit sad and with unbalanced mood, the welcome does not help to start improving...
Verified patient
It went very well, except for the wait time.
Verified patient
it's always productive
My appointment at Dr. Klimkiewicz's office started off on a concerning note when the receptionist told me that he usually doesn't see patients with ankle injuries, but she double checked with him and he was able to see me. I got x-rays done at the office and then had to wait a bit in the pleasant waiting room. Other patients were upset due to a 35 min+ wait time, but I had arrived early and was seen within what I consider to be a normal wait time. Dr. K apologized for any wait once in the room, was very professional and positive. He did not rush to prescribe medicine like many other orthopedists I've been to have tried, and was helpful in determining whether I could continue playing sports. Overall it was a great experience and I will continue to see him as my primary orthopedist.
