About Columbia Medical Practice
Columbia Medical Practice is a leading multi-specialty primary care group in Howard County, offering a variety of services including same-day appointments, extended hours, and walk-in care for urgent needs. Patients frequently commend the doctors for their dedication to patient care, taking the time to address questions thoughtfully and compassionately. Dr. Bellor, in particular, has been praised for his exceptional care in managing conditions like Psoriatic arthritis, with long-time patients appreciating his willingness to fit them in for urgent needs and his kind approach. The pediatric office also receives high marks for providing an excellent experience, with a knowledgeable and caring primary care physician. However, some patients have reported frustrations with the patient portal and answering service, indicating room for improvement. Despite these challenges, the practice is generally well-regarded, with many expressing gratitude for the commitment shown by staff members like nurses and the referral section, who go above and beyond for patients.
Save yourself, do not go here. I have been their customer from last 15+ years. I needed an appointment for quick cold/chest check visit. They do after hours too. They denied appointment. They told me they are booked for 1 week. What's the point if they can not give you appointment despite of having a multiple dr/nurse practitioner facility. The dr are ok; but the staffs are worse. Save yourself. There is a reason this facility is this low in google. I am in the process of moving my regular office to other place.
This practice is such a hostile environment. They literally insult you to your face about your condition. I feel like I’m in a third world country. My health is rapidly declining over the stress I feel just having to go in or call for an appointment. I know others who left because their BP was always higher only when they went in for follow-ups. I’m reading others’ reviews and it’s a disgrace and a relief that it’s not just me. I can’t wait to find a replacement.
No response regarding prior authorization. The pharmacy requested over 3 weeks ago, I have called them twice and my insurance has also submitted a request. This is unacceptable. I will NOT recommend this organization to anyone.
