Dr. Sener is an excellent doctor! She is the perfect balance of scientist and kindness. I feel very confident in her judgement. She deserves to be supported by an excellent team. I will be using their portal to avoid any further contact with her miserable front office staff however. The office staff at this location are completely incompetent. They forgot I was waiting for an appointment within seconds of my arrival, despite the fact that I signed in. I sat waiting for 35 minutes before I approached them to ask what was going on. The woman actually said I forgot you were waiting.
Dr. Sener is always attentive to what I need. She is extremely thorough and works to improve my overall health. I've already recommended her to others and I am glad to be in her care.

Doctor was great. Receptionist not professional
Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Sener and it was fantastic! I was just in for a check-up but she spent a long time with me going through my health history and she made a thorough list of things I can do to improve my wellness. And perhaps most importantly, she really listened and clearly cared about my health. Definitely one of the best medical appointments I've ever had!
Verified patient
Dr. Sener seemed very professional and thorough . She took a very careful history and spent quite a bit of time asking questions. I did not feel rushed at all. She referred me to several specialists as needed. Overall I was very pleased with the visit.
Dr Sener was wonderful. She asked good questions and was attentive to all my concerns. She did not make me feel rushed at all. She is thorough and very knowable. She made good recommendations that were cautious but prudent.
Dr. Sender was thoughtful, thorough, efficient, and kind. The reception and check-out staff, the lab staff, and the physician's assistants/nurses were all polite and easy to deal with. So glad I tried this clinic!
Very well informed and helpful.

The front desk service is poor and they seem bored. My wait time was longer due to miscommunication between the doctor and the front desk that I had checked in (and on time). But they evidentially forgot about me.
Very friendly, very thorough
My visit was simply marvelous!!! I have the best PCP in the District! Two Thumbs up! Dr. Sener answered all my questions, made me feel very comfortable when asking me personal questions, & I got everything done in a timely manner. She's the best!

Excellent care.
Dr. Sener is incredibly thorough. She takes her time to listen to my concerns and asks questions to truly understand the issue. She has provided me with thoughtful recommendations and advice. I never feel rushed or judged when visiting Dr. Sener, and I am so pleased with her treatment.
Verified patient
My appointment with Dr. Sener was thorough yet uneventful, i.e. a good one. I had the first appointment of the day, and was called back almost immediately. There was a slight delay for bloodwork, but I could see that they were quite busy.
This was my first visit with Dr. Sener, and she was very pleasant and patient. She displayed great bedside manners, and showed genuine concern for my overall health. I highly recommend her.
I was looking for a new doctor and chose Dr. Sener based on the reviews I'd seen on ZocDoc. And they were 100% accurate. First off, SHE ACTUALLY LISTENS & ASKS QUESTIONS. Not every doc can do this well, and she certainly can. I'm extremely picky and almost annoying to doctors, given the questions I continually ask; i even bring homemade charts to explain my recent symptoms. She took it all in stride since it was my first visit, went through a detailed review of my previous history as well as my current symptoms. Performed a physical exam. I couldn't ask for a better, more patient doctor. She was a delight and left me with the confidence to know that indeed i was ok, and whatever I had was certainly treatable. I left with a clear plan of attack, and look forward to seeing her again soon.
Verified patient
I was very impressed with Dr Sener. I felt like she had all the time in the world for me - didn't feel like the visit was rushed in any way. I waited only about 3 minutes to be seen. Just a tip for new patients - entrance is on 7th St although the address is 660 Pennsylvania SE.
Dr. Sener is gentle and thorough and has a warm and open demeanor that makes her easy to talk to. I was very pleased with my visit and would highly recommend her.
