“After a cross country move mid-pregnancy, I was so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Aklilu. I started regular appointments in my third trimester and she went above and beyond to support my entire body as I prepared for birth. Her knowledge and dedication to clients wellbeing far exceeds expectations and I cannot sing her praises enough. Now in postpartum she continues to support me and baby! Highly, highly recommend everyone experience the joy of working with Dr. A.”
“What a such relief, after visiting Chrysalis Chiropractic! Dr Capps is a very good doctor!”
“HBR trainers — Brad and Shawn —keep me focused and motivated. I’m a senior in my late 70s and they tailor my workouts to challenge me and focus on both strength and balance. I look forward to every workout.”
“Highly recommend Arkadiy Makarov (Archie) – an outstanding personal trainer near Dupont Circle<br>Arkadiy is a true expert in strength training. From the very first session it was clear he understands how to deliver maximum results quickly while keeping everything safe and sustainable. He combines precise coaching with deep knowledge of nutrition and helped me create a realistic, easy-to-follow plan that fit my lifestyle.<br>In just one year of training with him I lost over 40 pounds. The transformation has been so noticeable that friends constantly ask me what the secret is. The real secret is Arkadiy’s attention to proper technique—he takes the time to teach every movement correctly, so I now feel completely comfortable walking into any gym and using the equipment with confidence, even when I’m traveling and away from Washington, DC.<br>What sets him apart is how flexible and dedicated he is with his time. He regularly stays well past the scheduled session whenever he feels we need a little extra work to keep progressing. I started out feeling very intimidated by the idea of personal training, but our sessions quickly became the most mentally relaxing part of my day—a focused time when I can shut everything else out and simply concentrate on myself and my progress. I genuinely look forward to every appointment.<br>If you’re searching for a knowledgeable, patient, results-driven trainer in the Dupont Circle area who will push you safely and support you both physically and mentally, you won’t find better than Archie. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“After going to another chiropractor for hip pain for almost a year with little improvement, I switched to Dr. Tom at Campbell Chiropractic. I’m happy to report that after about 5 months of treatment, my hip pain has improved considerably and my recurring headaches have disappeared as well. I appreciate his broad understanding of health, not just joints, and I’m always learning something new to improve my daily ergonomics.”
“Highly, highly recommend Elin Fitness to anyone looking for a high caliber personal training experience and all around support team.Elin and his team (I worked with John) were extraordinary professionals. They exceeded my expectations for a personal trainer and offered a multitude of training plan options that I could fit in my busy schedule. Unfortunately, due to external physical health challenges, I am unable to continue working with them. During the time I was figuring out my care, Elin was not only very understanding but was also a tremendous resource for options I could pursue for my specific situation, and worked with me while I figured out my next steps. I’m grateful I got to work with them for the season I was able to.”
“This gym is nothing short of amazing. I am feeling stronger, healthier, and happier after only going there for a month. I highly recommend.”
“We spent fifteen years searching for answers. Numerous doctors, numerous treatments, no real results. In a matter of weeks with Dr. Lawson, that changed.<br><br>The difference in our family member's quality of life is not subtle. It is dramatic. Dr. Lawson and her team practice medicine differently. They look deeper, think more comprehensively, and actually listen. They find what others miss.<br><br>If you have been through the conventional system and come up empty, this practice is worth your time. We are grateful beyond words.”
“Attentive, does adjustments based on what your needs are, explains as she goes. All around best adjustment I’ve had”
“I have been a patient of this practice for 3 1/2 years. I think the practitioners there are educated, informed, and truly want to help people. They are caring and take the time to listen and advise you.<br><br>The weakest link for the practice is the front desk and administrative office. About 5 months after I became a patient, I tried to sign my 11 y.o. son up at the practice because he had eczema, despite dietary changes we had made at home. I registered him online and waited 2 weeks for the link to fill out his paperwork, but the link never came. When I called the office, Erin (who I think does not work there anymore) told me that she was going through the registrations and would send me a ink soon. To me, this is not good customer service, especially after I had explained that I registered my son 2 weeks ago, but I waited patiently, nonetheless. After another week passed by and still no response, I asked in person the next time during my appointment. Erin could not find my son's registration, so I used my phone while in the office to register my son again. This time, she was able to confirm receipt and sent me a link to finish my son's registration. This experience was annoying.<br><br>I noticed that sometime after this, more people were brought to work at the front desk and customer service did seem to improve somewhat until about 2 months ago. After my last appointment with Dr. Wong in September 2020, I was told to schedule my follow up in December. On October 13th I called and left a message on voice mail. My call was not returned, and on Oct. 17th, I sent an email with the subject "Second request for appointment" to the general inbox. As I am a teacher and very busy, I did not realize that nobody had responded to my inquiries until the end of October, so I called the front desk again. This time, somebody did answer the phone and I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Wong, but because Dr. Wong books out so far in advance, the earliest available was not Jan. 11th.<br><br>Needless to say, this last experience was very frustrating. I realize that the practice is very busy and they do spend extra time, listening to patients, which I feel, is very important. However, it is tricky for super busy people like me to have to follow up and take responsibility for calling again and again to schedule appointments. I teach during office hours and cannot always make phone calls. I would also expect that emails should be returned, as well.<br><br>I do have to say that they now have a person who deals with insurance matters and that has been extremely helpful, so that is real plus for this practice, as I have had some EOBs that needed further attention.<br><br>Overall, I give this practice 4 stars because of the weakest link in front desk/administrative matters/ customer service.<br><br>Update: 7/25/24:<br>My comments about this office remain unchanged. I still give it a 4/5. The office still has great practitioners, but the weakest link is the office management. The practice uses a portal and you are supposed to communicate with the practitioners via the portal. Well....if someone initiates the communication first and you respond, there is no problem. However, if you initiate the communication, there is usually no response. I sent a message TWO times asking for my appointment to be rescheduled and I received no response. Finally, I called and reached someone and was able to reschedule, but by then my practitioner was WAY booked out. This week, I sent a message with a question about a follow up to my mammogram. The automatic reply states that they will respond in 2 business days. Today makes the third business day and I have received no response. I will probably have to phone the office. It's just annoying. If they cannot reply to clients via the portal, then they should not offer it as an option.”
“Christine and her team are amazing and talented therapists! If you're struggling with anxiety and you're located in Falls Church, VA, I highly recommend that you reach out!”
“I've lost 40+ lbs working with Dr. Dadkhah, highly recommend if you're having trouble with any aspect of your eating.”
“I have been coming to The Perfect Workout Bethesda for a year now and can really feel the difference. With my dynamic schedule, the 20-minute weekly commitment was a great fit for me. All the trainers here have been superb- knowledgeable and attentive. I’ve enjoyed working with Simeon, Ian, Ebuka, and Aasim, and look forward to my fitness journey over the coming year.”
“Hands down the best medical practitioner I have ever encountered. Dr G is so warm and genuinely caring, not to mention very knowledgeable, through and precise. She literally changed my life. She found things that western med docs continually overlooked and called “normal.” I have recommended her to everyone who would listen!”
“July 2025 marks the sixth year I have been going to Dedicated Strength - there are many reasons why I'm dedicated to this gym (see what I did there?). Joe and Angela, the owners, care deeply about their clients and their clients’ goals. They listen closely to what you want to achieve and work with you to make it happen. If life throws you curve balls (like back problems), they ensure you can continue your fitness journey safely and successfully. They foster an inclusive, low stress environment. I cannot count the number of times I have entered the gym beaten down by the stress of the day, only to leave happier and with less stress. They hire qualified professional trainers who share the same values of client focus and a collaborate, inclusive environment. I also value the comradery with the fellow clients, as we travel along our fitness goals; no one is judgmental, from staff to client. Dedicated Strength is something special, and I am very glad I found it.”
“"Dr. Rosa" as we call her is the best personal trainer I've ever had - by far. My wife and I started having her come train us during the pandemic and two years in have invested in twice weekly visits up from once a week. She's that good. The personalized attention, focus on healing injuries and strengthening weaknesses, her sensitivities and smarts, all contribute to our improved health and strength in countless ways. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“After months of back pain and limited relief from other treatments, I was referred to Spine Arts Center. After a few visits, I'm happy to say I'm now pain-free and back to my normal activities and sports. Dr. Lim is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and caring, and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming. Thank you very much to everyone at Spine Arts Center - I'm truly grateful!”
“Dr. keita is a special, gifted Subject Matter Expert on Holistic Chiropractic Care. I have lived in NW DC for 7 years and been with her for about 5 years. She sets the bar high because she truly educates me and goes above and beyond to get to the root of the issue. In one visit she implements several modalities to address my problems holistically. Despite living in NW, I travel way across town for her because she is a wise, knowledgeable, loving, honest and believes in Knowledge Transfer which as an educated consumer I highly prioritize.”
“A wonderful psychologist! Very nice , patient, sweet and understanding! She can really listen!”

“Alvie has been my trainer for a year now, and what stands out about him right away is his empathy. He genuinely listens, understands where you are on any given day, and adjusts your workouts accordingly – no ego, just presence.<br><br>I’ve watched his own transformation over the last year, and it makes his guidance even more powerful. He lives what he teaches. He’s committed to helping you improve your overall quality of life, and you can feel that dedication in every session.<br><br>He’s incredibly intuitive. The way he handles challenges, resolves tension, and shows up for people is something I hear about often and also experience firsthand. When you’re training with him, you truly feel like you’re his only client. He’s friendly, grounded, and he pays attention to the details that matter.<br><br>He never pushes you past your boundaries, but he always makes sure you’re giving your best. His focus on correct form — especially in a strength-training environment built on lower intensity with heavier weights — is invaluable. He knows exactly how to guide you without overwhelming you.<br><br>And on top of all that, his customer service is exceptional. He creates an environment where you not only feel supported, but where you genuinely want to show up. He builds a relationship that feels personal and consistent, and he watches the little details while still making you feel completely at ease. That kind of experience keeps you motivated to come back, not because you “have to,” but because training with him simply feels good.”
“Staff is professional and very friendly. Doctor Michelle and Sean Woods are both knowledgeable and super helpful with getting you up and running!”
“Wil is an awesome trainer. He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and motivating. I’ve become stronger and more muscular because of him. I can’t imagine working with someone more professional and qualified. He’s highly recommended.”
“Dr. CIndy is amazing. I have been going to her for spinal adjustments for more than 20 years. I always feel better after an adjustment. I've also purchased orthotics from her, and she has referred me to other practitioners for massages and acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr. Cindy and Willow Wellness Center.”
“Njeri reviewed my history from our last work together and she thoroughly asked questions which framed where I currently was with eating, proper intake, supplements, exercise, medications; And, how we’re going to move forward to detox to strengthen my body to put my MGUS in remission. I’ve done an intensive questionnaire and I’m in the process of submitting all recent tests results so that Njeri can review and develop a composite for our plan of attack. Njeri Jarvis is an exceptional nutritionist and I trust her to help me grow and heal.”
