  This is an amazing practice and I feel fortunate that my boys are getting excellent care under Dr. Ahlstrom's guidance. Dr. Ahlstrom is extremely competent, personable and kind -- she NEVER rushes and gives you her undivided attention. She is seemingly always accessible. She has early morning hours every day where you can call in, and she even gave me her private cell phone number once when she was worried about my son! I am always able to get a same day sick appointment, parking is easy and free, they have Saturday hours (which we have taken advantage of a number of times), the staff/nurses/doctors know my children by first name, and unlike many other DC practices -- they take insurance! I truly can't say enough good things.

  … Dr. Ahlstrom is an incredible doctor and kind person. Right away, she took an interest in my daughter's chronic condition and made sure we touched base by phone about it every 2-3 days until we got it under control. She made herself available to our family on the weekends, just to check in about it. Her manner is kind and caring, and she has an exam style that puts my toddler at ease…
  
  One thing I love is that they have doctor call-in times every day. ...
  
  The support staff at the office is equally as wonderful and professional as the doctors. My daughter loves the extensive Lego sculpture collection and climbing structure in the waiting room (and the fish tank!) …
  
  …. There are patient parking spaces, so that is no concern. We are moving out of town soon, and one of my biggest regrets is having to leave Dr. Ahlstrom behind!

  Dr Alhstrom has been my boys doctor for 4 years now. She is great.
  This is the only office that can give you a sick appointment on the same day you call and they never keep you waiting. I have no idea how they do this, but it makes the whole experience great. They also have Saturday hours for sick kids which is very helpful. We have been very happy with the care provided here.
  The only issue is the limited insurance companies they take.

  Our 3 boys see Dr. Howard Bennett at Chevy Chase Pediatrics and I wanted to recommend this physician and practice to DC area parents looking for a personal relationship with their pediatrician. Dr. Bennett meets parents-to-be during pregnancy and the relationship begins there. We have felt very confident with Dr. Bennett's diagnostic skill and attention to detail. We appreciate his availability and that we get to see him for every physical and almost every sick visit. I am not as familiar with the other physicians in this practice. He is funny and relates well with kids -- my boys love him. We have also had wonderful experiences with the nursing staff who will field questions over the phone during business hours and one of them is a lactation expert. I don't have any complaints with the wait time, as it's always seemed reasonable. The waiting room has enough to keep the kids' interest. We are glad to have found this practice and in particular Dr. Bennett and hope we're with him till the kids are grown. Thanks CCP.
