Has been my internist/geriatrician for about 20 years. He is always positive, informative, and very personable. He is a fantastic diagnostician. The staff is always very helpful and willing to assist in setting up appointments for special tests. No matter if you are the first or last patient of the day (and I've been both), he gives you the same level of care. When he first took over the practice from William Bryson 20+ years ago, I had my doubts, but he has proved that he is just as good a diagnostician as Dr. Bryson was. And in Baltimore, that is very high praise indeed. I never feel as if he is just ordering special tests just to protect himself. He has my total trust, something that I am not too free with.

Payment Options
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and personal checks.
Card-on-File
We encourage patients to keep a credit card on file to make the checkout process easier, faster, and more efficient. You will no longer receive statements from us, but you will continue to receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier once your claim has been processed, detailing the charges and payments made on your behalf.
At check-in we will:
- scan the credit card of your choice, including your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card
After your insurance has paid their portion, we will:
- notify you via email of the balance owed
- charge the balance owed to your card on file
- email a receipt for the charge
Your credit card information will always be fully protected by our off-site, card-processing partner Elavon, and not on our computers, as required by industry standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – PCI-DSS).
