Expert Care for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury—Get Relief & Get Moving Again

My visit was fine. Whose responsibility is it to make sure that the Dr’s office has my appointment scheduled in their system. That was the only glitch. I still was seen in a timely manner. I like Zocdoc.

Very nice office. The staff was professional, generally, but would benefit from being more sympathetic to patients waiting for over 45 minutes because someone double-booked the doctor. A simple “I’m sorry” would have done the trick for me, instead it left me infuriated as the girl at the counter asked whether I was in rush. Please, do not ask someone who has patiently waited for 30 minutes and is about to wait for another 20 minutes whether they are in a rush. Never appreciated, especially when it is your mistake! We all have jobs we need to go to.

Doc is very down to earth and personable. I feel he values my input regarding self-health awareness. He clearly answers any questions, explains problem conditions, and treatment procedures. Other staff members are warm and friendly.

best doctor and good bedside manner

He is a caring professional who knew exactly how to begin my treatment.

He is so good listen person.

He is very accessible. I made a list of questions, and we worked through them. He explained each in a straight forward way. It was easy to make a decision.

Dr. Argintar was very professional and knowledgable.

Dr. Argintar was great, the Dr. Caldwell who met me before him was awesome. Long wait time in waiting room and I arrived 25 minutes early.

Efficient, professional, personal.

Dr. Argintar is quick and efficient and attentive at the same time. I was brought in before my insurance paperwork was even done! He had clearly read (or had been briefed on) my file and I think I was in and out of there in less than 20 mins from the time I walked in the door. Highly recommend.

He’s personable and friendly yet efficient and clear. Excellent communicator. I was particularly impressed by his quick email follow up. He truly provides excellent service!

Always positive but makes sure to give very clear instructions on how to go forward. Ready to answer any questions.

It was a very pleasant experience. The doctor was kind and friendly. His first statement to me was that he hoped i didn’t wait to long before i saw him. (They saw me about 13 minutes after my scheduled time). Everything went well and he did an amazing job explaining the issues and how to fix it.

Very professional bedside manner.

I arrived 30 minutes early, as the office had asked, expecting to fill out lots of paperwork and wait a long time. I only received one document to update and was called to the examination room before I finished. Even there, I hardly waited for the doctor to arrive. Very quick, efficient. And Dr. Argintar was quick in a diagnosis that had eluded two other doctors.

Dr. Argintar was excellent. Quick, thoughtful, patient, clear. The office was frustrating because of the very long wait but he’s an excellent doctor and worth the wait.

He is professional and friendly , he was willing to listen a patient, he explained what could be wrong and he came with the reasonable therapeutic approach

The office is awful, receptionist couldn’t tell me how far behind the doc was. Waiting room uncomfortable and cramped.

He was very nice, not rude at all like most doctors. His office staff was very professional and nice, easy to ask questions and get answers. Visit was quick and sweet.

Dr. Argintar was very personable and thoughtfully responded to all of my questions (and I had many!) I never felt rushed through the appointment and felt that he really listened to my concerns. Dr. Argintar thoroughly explained my options to me, and helped me chose the treatment that was right for me. His honesty, compassion, and professionalism during my evaluation and treatment made me certain that I made the right decision in choosing him (and his team) to help heal my sports injury.

Very informative and to the point honest

Very good care.

Dr Argintar was very knowledgeable and helped me understand a bit more of what was causing pain. He was open to listening to me and gave great suggestions on what I should be doing to minimize pain. Will definitely see him again for my follow up.

Very efficient. Asked questions to determine the best course of action to address my issue.

He’s awesome! Super friendly and accessible. Very attentive to a patient’s needs.

Dr. Argintar is an excellent doctor. He is caring and in spite of the fears of surgery, he calms and reassures his patients. The only downside that I found in visiting his 7th Street office on Capitol Hill, is that the ZocDoc system is not recognized there. I checked in on the system at the same time I booked the appointment, but none of my information went to that office so I had to sit there and fill out lots of papers. That was a serious inconvenience.

Dr. Argintar was great. He was able to diagnose me quickly and talk me through what was going on thoroughly. However, I showed up for my 11am appointment at 10:40 but wasn’t taken back into the office until 12:10. I didn’t end up even seeing the doctor until 12:20ish. And the staff was not the friendliest. There was one woman (Tasha I believe) who was very friendly and courteous, but everyone else seemed like they didn’t have time for things. I totally get that things get busy and backed up, but if you’re friendly about it I can deal with things better. A few people made it a bit more difficult. Regardless, I think it might have just been an off day and I would still recommend this doctor.

I was most impressed by Dr Argintar’s understanding and enthusiastic support of my goal of returning to active participation in my sport, though I am an over-50 athlete. Dr Argintar was prompt, direct and took the time to explain my injury and route to recovery. As his patient, I felt respected and informed.

Dr. Argintar was very personable, explained what was going in with my injury, talked me through treatment options, and proposed a treatment plan that worked with my schedule. Great, quick visit.

Dr. Argintar was very good at explaining what was wrong with my knee and what we should do to rehabilitate it.

Very professional and took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions without making me feel like he was rushing to see the next patient.

VERY INFORMATIVE, DR. ARGINTAR WAS MY SECOND OPINION, AFTER READING HIS REVIEWS THATS WHAT MADE ME COME TO HIM IT WAS A VERY GOOD CHOICE HE CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENT WELL BEING AND TRY TO DO EVERYTHING HE CAN DO TO HEAL YOUR BODY BEFORE RUNNING TO OPERATE. GOOD CHOICE.

once seen the appointment was quick but covered all my questions.

He is a Great Doctor and he Handle his patients well.

Smart, kind doctor who gives treatments that make sense. (He is not over the top with tests). I felt reassured when I saw him, and I’m ready to start my physical therapy.

Thanks. My wrist feels a lot better.

Compassionate and helpful.

One of the best phycicians i have ever seen. I referred my wife to him.

Other than a bit of a wait, which they apologized for, he was actually very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable in his assessment. Did not make me feel rushed even though we got a late start, very much recommend and would come see again.

I was very impressed and over all i will definately refer my friends and family.

Dr, Argintar is very pleasant and respectable. He listens to his patience and provides the best care. He talks to you and not at you.

Presents as a knowledgable, experienced orthopedic surgeon, willing to fully explain the alternative surgical options available in a manner that inspires confidence in his judgment and skills. If I choose to have surgery, I would feel confident enough in Dr Argintor to have him do the procedure.

Right to the point….action!

Very helpful and professional. Explained things well and listened to all of my concerns.

Very nice physician, and honest about the care I needed. He wasn’t quick to recommend surgery as the best solution. I will eventually need it for the avulsed hip joint, but he says that my quality of life is good enough now, that I should hold off on surgical intervention.

Great communicator and clearly a master at what he does. He had me sorted out in a matter of minutes and laid out a plan for treatment, making me a part of it all the way. Highly recommend.

Great doctor, really responsive to questions, and wanting to make sure the office visit was a pleasant one.

Dr argintar was wonderful he gave me real insight on what was going on with me and what we could do to start the process of getting some Rehabilitation for my hip

Dr. Argintar, his assistant and the receptionists were incredibly friendly and on-time. I felt heard and listened to, and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a professional and personable doctor and team.

He was very nice and well mannered! He listened to me and answered all my questions!

Excellent and very professional. Doing stuff right away. I got immediately steroids in my knees..send me to MRI FOR my shoulder. I give him 10!!!!@

Dr. Argintar was quick and to the point. He was able to identify the injury and recommend what I need to do to begin the healing process. He listened to what I had to say and was able to get me out in a timely manner.

He was wonderful – professional, smart, and super efficient. I was thoroughly impressed!

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Easy to reach when needing to follow up after the appointment.

Personable, direct treatment plan aligned with my goals.

Dr. Argintar was professional and had an impeccable bedside manner. He diagnosed my problem immediately. Unfortunately, the receptionist forgot to send my paperwork to the back so I waited longer then I should have.

Doctor Evan Argintar is a very good doctor. However, even at his office there are always long waits — very typical in the USA. All the doctors in the hospital were almost over 1 hour waits. It seems that the people (formerly MedStar Hospital office) who schedule the appointments and the office staff expect that it is what the public has to do to see a doctor. However, I have lived in over 10 countries long-term and worked in another 25 short-term, and never had to wait so long as is expected in the USA. Americans have no idea how it works in other countries.

Everything good Thanks You Dr Evan Argintar

Very thorough, explained things well, listened to everything I said. Came up with a plan that made sense and got the additional diagnostics I needed arranged very quickly.

Was able to diagnose right away. Very friendly and answered all my questions.

Great doctor to work with. Listened to my concerns and took action. Highly recommend Dr. Argintar.

It was good, I expected an x-ray of my lag that is still swollen however he treated me according to his experience.

Good Dr

Dr. Evan Arginator was very helpful and gave me step to correct the problem.

Good listener, attentive and provides candid feedback and recommendations!

Dr.Argintar is very excellent when it comes down to his field. He won’t take unnecessary risk,when he see’s other options first. He is courteous, and very sympathetic with me. I can’t speak for everyone but I like his professionalism. He has too many patients and not enough time..

Muy bien excelente Dr Muchas Gracias

Dr. Argintar was focused and attentive. Though his visit was quick, he reviewed my history and developed a game plan which sent me to a reputable PT immediately after my appointment.

Dr. Argintar was very responsive. Gave a quick examination of my injury and provided tailored solutions to best suit my needs. Very honest and overall great experience. Highly recommend.

Clean office, great office managers. Dr Argintar is a no-nonsense physician who tells things the way they are. I recommend him highly.

Excellent care. Diligent follow up.

Dr. Argintar and his second were great. I felt very comfortable with them. Dr. Argintar thoroughly explained what was wrong with my ankle, showed me on th that MRI and really made me feel a lot better, that it just needed more time to heal. I will come back to see him again if I’m not better in 6 weeks. I left smiling. Thank you doctors.

Very personable and answers your questions patiently. Does not talk down to you like many doctors unfortunately do.

Professional, quick, knew exactly what was up with my knee in minutes.

I think he is very knowledgeable and is very quick to assess. He spent all of 20 minutes with me and rushed off to his new appointment. I felt a bit rushed. Off to Xray where I waited for the tech, who I think was new. Got 2 Xrays and then waited for Dr. Argintar to share his feedback on my xrays. He’s very knowledgeable and very quick to assess but again. I felt rushed after a 35 minute wait. But I would recommend for his diagnostic acumen and a pleasant bedside manner.

Excellent. Honest. Direct. Efficient.

Very thorough, attentive and straight forward! Even has a great sense of humor!

Very good

The wait time was about 45 minutes to get to the exam room. Otherwise, this was a great visit and the doctor was excellent!

Dr. Argintar was extremely professional, was able to assess the issue quickly and make a quick referral. The reason for the wait was that the building’s fire alarm went off and the building evacuated briefly. Front desk staff were friendly.

Muy buen Doctor muy Feliz con su trabajo y lo recomiendo Gracias Dr.

He is knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. He invites questions and follow-up. Overall a superior doctor.

It was great. He’s progressive, looking to alternative treatments rather invasive surgeries and injections. Liked that he didn’t treat me like I was ignorant about my own body, and validated what pain I was experiencing.

He was very kind and straight forward with me. He did a good job explaining my issues and asked if I understood. His staff were very friendly and I would recommend his services!

I am always pleased when i come to his office he and his staff are very professional and courteous.

During my initial consultation Dr. Argintar was knowledgeable and attentive. He was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis and gameplan to pursue PT. I highly recommend him for any younger individual looking to tackle some athletic related injuries.

Great doctor. Gave me the fix I needed. But he spent less than 8 minutes with me.

Loved this doctor—smart and down to earth. And explained my options clearly. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Argintar is a excellent physician that is a expert orthopedic medicine!

Dr. Argintar is a very good doctor. I have seen him for several years and each visit, I am always please with my outcome. He recommends trying various techniques to cure the issue.

Todo muy bien y Agradecida con mi Dr y el personal

Good doctor – definitely knew what he was talking about and heard you out.

I have had chronic ankle instability for over 6 years and no doctor ever took me seriously before Dr Argintar. He immediately got me an MRI and ran me thru all options. He offered referrals for consults for surgery. I am extremely pleased.

Smart, honest, to the point.

The wait time was longer than normal. It was due to a computer glitch from the online appt made through ZocDoc. Once the administrative steps and paper were completed, it took little time for Dr. Argintar to see me and deal with my medical problem.

Muy bien excelente

Wish the wait had been less, but everything else was great.

He is the most pleasant Dr. I have ever had.

He and his staff make going to the doctor a pleasure. I’ve had s number of cortisone shots over the years and I barely felt his.

Dr. Argintar has always been a straight to the point professional in a very kind way and will always keep your health and future prognosis first.

Dr Argintar is the best of the best. I traveled 1 1/2 hours to see him and I will do it again. 5 Stars isn’t enough I give him 10 stars

Excelente Doctor Dios lo Bendiga

Outstanding. Dr. Arginator and everybody in the office, were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. I also want to mention Megan as she was super helpful.

Dr. Argintar is very skilled, compassionate, and conscious of patients’ pain. He is also kind. I would and have recommended him to others with no reservations. However, time with him feels incredibly rushed–even his speech is lightening fast. There is no opportunity to ask questions, and if you do, the answer is also rushed. It is frustrating.

Dr.Argintar is very thorough he is also kind, compassionate and understanding he is easy to communicate with. I think he’s great!

Dr. Argintar was very caring, understanding, and attentive to my health concerns. I feel confident that my condition will improve under his plan of care.

Dr Argintar contacted me in advance of my scheduled time which was great for me. He was very professional and thorough and explained everything in an understandable manner. It was my first time meeting him and I was very pleased with everything that transpired.

Professional, knowledgeable, good looking. He took time to ask questions, examined my knee thoroughly & provided options for treatment.

knowledgeable, personal, practical.

Dr. Argintar is simply fantastic – and the office (check in/out, wait time, etc) is run incredibly well. I’ve had shin issues for YEARS and have seen so many specialists and he’s the first doctor to properly diagnose me and create a treatment plan that gives me a bit of hope. Also, I hadn’t seen him in years and he immediately remembered me (how’s that for bedside manner?!) Seriously, if you’re looking for an ortho, he’s the best in DC (and from my experience, the better than anyone I saw in Chicago and Boston as well).

I was pleased with Dr. Argintar because he explain what was going on and the course that I needed to take to take care of my medical problem. He explained it in terms that I could understand.

Amazing Doctor, and very knowledgeable. Did more for me in less than 15 minutes, than any other specialist I’ve seen for this injury.

Ideal.

Dr Argintar is professional and kind. The finest doctor you could ever find

Dr. Argintar engages with patient. Concise and not rushed.

He’s a great Dr, very knowledgeable, and really listens. Also takes good clinical notes.

Dr. Argintar was very detailed and explained everything. He has an excellent bedside manner and wanted to ensure you were aware of what your condition was. He gave his honest medical opinion and recommended what he thought you needed. I would recommend him as he will take care of you.

Great doctor. Spoke to me as if I was a human being. Extremely thorough and took the time to explain everything to me.

Dr. Argintar was excellent, highly recommend.

I have seen Dr Argintar for several issues in the past and he asked about those as well as the latest issue I saw him about today.

Proficient in diagnosis, offers options, explains underlying conditions that lead to the symptoms; projects air of confidence and concern for the well-being of the patient. I would recommend Dr. Argintar for orthopedic needs and MedStar as a facility for medical attention.

I would definitely go back and the location was convenient.

Excellent video visit with Dr. Argintar. He is informative, responsive and is always available for quick responses to concerns. I trust his judgment.

Great experience with Medicare and Dr. Aginar today.

Great

I am thrilled I found Dr. Argintar and his team. I’ll be going for physical therapy over the next 6 weeks and feel confident my experience with Dr. Argintar and the PT team will be just as outstanding.

All questions answered including next steps. Dr. A. always available thru email which many doctors are not.

Very good

We reviewed the history of my treatment for arthritis in my knee. Then Dr. Argintar outlined treatment that could be considered. We decided on a plan on action including x-rays of my knees and rehabilitation.

Prompt, knowledgeable, and provided good recommendations with clear rationale.

Thanks

Dr. Argintar is good. As far as having another telemedicine appointment ??. This is not something that I am accustomed to. It needs to be worked on as far as time arrangement and meeting expectations.

Dr. is extremely knowledgeable.

I felt heard and respected by Dr Argintar. He and his staff were kind and professional.

Exceptional service and good orthropedic

I am looking forward to working with Dr. Argintar and staff

he listened to my concerns, and gave me a treatment plan

Argintar is very efficient, clearly knows his stuff. he is just the right amount of aggressive with his care. i trust him to make an accurate diagnosis and provide effective, thoughtful treatment.

Doc was friendly and offered helpful suggestion for PT, and further suggested a location for a sport specific clinic that might help me improve my mechanics/form and prevent future injuries.

Dr A. listened to my concerns about my injury, and my goals to return to full functional level. After the exam, he prescribed me a series of physical therapy session saying the outcome to achieve my goals were excellent.

Great doctor and fantastic bedside manner!

The experience was goo except they did not have the right size brace so I have to wait and then I have to drive back to DC and pay for parking to pick it up!

Professional, competent, thorough, knowledgeable. Involves you in the treatment process and decision making. Actually, reviews pertinent past history.Would recommend to other prospective patients.

Dr. Argintar and his team are always thorough and professional.

Great experience snd I feel so much better.

Great, competent, no nonsense Dr. Had the issue figured out in less than 2 min. Was done in 5.

Dr. A was professional and friendly, listening to my history and thoroughly went through the MRI scans to address the issues and possible treatments. Highly recommend him!

Dr. Argintar was light-hearted and welcoming in his mannerisms but also professionally thorough in examining and assessing the medical concern.

Dr. Argintar and Staff are Professionals, listen to and address any concerns, knowledgeable and friendly.

Dr Argintar and staff were courteous, professional, knowledgeable and polite.

Doctor was great and thorough. Only confusing thing was that while driving en route to Washington Hospital Center, I received a text with directions to a different office. It took a while to get through on the phone to confirm I was going to the correct location. I definitely could have done without that text!

Dr argintar is a specialist and does everything he can to see that I am can become whole again

Doctors office staff as well as the doctor was EXTREMELY helpful.

Dr. Argintar was great, very clear and answered all of my questions. Wait time was a bit longer than I’d hope, though nothing out of the ordinary, and once I was called from the waiting room everything was quite prompt from there. I do appreciate his patience and understanding, as well as his willingness to communicate after the appointment.

He was great! Very informative and no wait at all. Definitely recommend!

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The zocdoc appointment was not in the books but they were super helpful in making sure I was the doctor. The doctor was great. Listened well and super knowledgeable.

Dr. Argintar had an excellent bed side matter with my visit. He calmed all of my fears about the visit. Would definitely recommend him to family and friends. I’d give him an A+++

Dr. Argintar zeroed in on the possible problems, took x-rays, and gave me the diagnosis.

Dr. Argintar was very thorough in looking at my MRI and explaining what he saw and what options I had. He answered my questions and seemed to give his honest assessment of the situation. I appreciated his expertise and no-nonsense approach.

Answered all questions satisfactorily & appears to be very knowledgeable.

Dr. Evan was patient and understood regarding being anxious about my treatment. I felt at ease.

He is the most pleasant Dr. I have ever had.

Wish the wait had been less, but everything else was great.

The doctor dismissed my input and I suffer every day after he did surgery on me. When I told him that I consulted other doctors, he said, in front of a female medical student, a word that ZOCDOC felt not appropriate to display. He further labeled me as doctor shopping in an email he sent to me later.

Muy bien excelente

The wait time was longer than normal. It was due to a computer glitch from the online appt made through ZocDoc. Once the administrative steps and paper were completed, it took little time for Dr. Argintar to see me and deal with my medical problem.

Not happy about what I was told about the recovery timeline after surgery and the actual reality of the recovery. I was under the impression I would be walking in 2 weeks. Looks like I won’t walking for much longer.

Good visit but I think I spent less than 10 minutes total time with the doctor. It felt like a rushed visit although I was happy that he ordered x-rays right away before making a diagnosis. The facility was very nice and clean and the reception staff was very friendly and helpful.

Muy buen Doctor muy Feliz con su trabajo y lo recomiendo Gracias Dr.

I found the hour wait beyond my appointment time unacceptable and frustrating. Everyone’s time is valuable and should be respected. I didn’t think that was happening on this visit.

Dr. Evan Arginator was very helpful and gave me step to correct the problem.

Good Dr

It was good, I expected an x-ray of my lag that is still swollen however he treated me according to his experience.

He was very kind and understanding.

He was very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. I will not hesitate to see him again. I am adjusting to the brace he prescribed.

One of the best phycicians i have ever seen. I referred my wife to him.

Dr. Argintar was very friendly. He listened to me as I described my problem, asked me to perform a couple physical tests, then diagnosed my issue and discussed treatment options. The whole visit couldn’t have taken more than 20 minutes, which did feel a bit rushed, but it was a good experience overall.

Compassionate and helpful.

Thanks. My wrist feels a lot better.

Smart, kind doctor who gives treatments that make sense. (He is not over the top with tests). I felt reassured when I saw him, and I’m ready to start my physical therapy.

He is a Great Doctor and he Handle his patients well.

Very direct and to the point. Doesn’t waste any time.

Very informative and helpful. Gave good suggestions in reference to treatment before any invasive treatment

once seen the appointment was quick but covered all my questions.

Very informative, Dr. Argintar was my second opinion, after reading his reviews thats what made me come to him it was a very good choice he cares about his patient well being and try to do everything he can do to heal your body before running to operate. Good choice.

Very professional and took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions without making me feel like he was rushing to see the next patient.

He came across as competent and knowledgeable — answered my questions and explained things in a way that I can understand. Good experience overall!

Dr. Argintar was very good at explaining what was wrong with my knee and what we should do to rehabilitate it.

Dr. Argintar was very personable, explained what was going in with my injury, talked me through treatment options, and proposed a treatment plan that worked with my schedule. Great, quick visit.

It was okay but I did not feel a good connection. He was willing to do the shoulder procedure (I had to change from my regular orthopedist because he was no longer in network). And I did not have a good comfort level with him. I cancelled the surgery and I am looking for another doctor.

I was most impressed by Dr Argintar’s understanding and enthusiastic support of my goal of returning to active participation in my sport, though I am an over-50 athlete. Dr Argintar was prompt, direct and took the time to explain my injury and route to recovery. As his patient, I felt respected and informed.

Dr. Argintar was great. He was able to diagnose me quickly and talk me through what was going on thoroughly. However, I showed up for my 11am appointment at 10:40 but wasn’t taken back into the office until 12:10. I didn’t end up even seeing the doctor until 12:20ish. And the staff was not the friendliest. There was one woman (Tasha I believe) who was very friendly and courteous, but everyone else seemed like they didn’t have time for things. I totally get that things get busy and backed up, but if you’re friendly about it I can deal with things better. A few people made it a bit more difficult. Regardless, I think it might have just been an off day and I would still recommend this doctor.

Dr. Argintar is an excellent doctor. He is caring and in spite of the fears of surgery, he calms and reassures his patients. The only downside that I found in visiting his 7th Street office on Capitol Hill, is that the ZocDoc system is not recognized there. I checked in on the system at the same time I booked the appointment, but none of my information went to that office so I had to sit there and fill out lots of papers. That was a serious inconvenience.

If you require competent and knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon, find one elsewhere.

He’s awesome! Super friendly and accessible. Very attentive to a patient’s needs.

Very efficient. Asked questions to determine the best course of action to address my issue.

Dr Argintar was very knowledgeable and helped me understand a bit more of what was causing pain. He was open to listening to me and gave great suggestions on what I should be doing to minimize pain. Will definitely see him again for my follow up.

Very good care.

Very informative and to the point honest

Dr. Argintar was very personable and thoughtfully responded to all of my questions (and I had many!) I never felt rushed through the appointment and felt that he really listened to my concerns. Dr. Argintar thoroughly explained my options to me, and helped me chose the treatment that was right for me. His honesty, compassion, and professionalism during my evaluation and treatment made me certain that I made the right decision in choosing him (and his team) to help heal my sports injury.

He was very nice, not rude at all like most doctors. His office staff was very professional and nice, easy to ask questions and get answers. Visit was quick and sweet.

The office is awful, receptionist couldn’t tell me how far behind the doc was. Waiting room uncomfortable and cramped.

He is professional and friendly , he was willing to listen a patient, he explained what could be wrong and he came with the reasonable therapeutic approach

Dr. Argintar was excellent. Quick, thoughtful, patient, clear. The office was frustrating because of the very long wait but he’s an excellent doctor and worth the wait.

He was good doctor but he was late for my appointment (he said he wrongly scheduled someone before me), and didn’t apologize. He didn’t seem as interested or engaged, probably because he was pressed for time and was behind schedule.

I arrived 30 minutes early, as the office had asked, expecting to fill out lots of paperwork and wait a long time. I only received one document to update and was called to the examination room before I finished. Even there, I hardly waited for the doctor to arrive. Very quick, efficient. And Dr. Argintar was quick in a diagnosis that had eluded two other doctors.

Very professional bedside manner.

It was a very pleasant experience. The doctor was kind and friendly. His first statement to me was that he hoped i didn’t wait to long before i saw him. (They saw me about 13 minutes after my scheduled time). Everything went well and he did an amazing job explaining the issues and how to fix it.

Always positive but makes sure to give very clear instructions on how to go forward. Ready to answer any questions.

all of the above

He’s personable and friendly yet efficient and clear. Excellent communicator. I was particularly impressed by his quick email follow up. He truly provides excellent service!

Dr. Argintar is quick and efficient and attentive at the same time. I was brought in before my insurance paperwork was even done! He had clearly read (or had been briefed on) my file and I think I was in and out of there in less than 20 mins from the time I walked in the door. Highly recommend.

Efficient, professional, personal.

Dr. Argintar was great, the Dr. Caldwell who met me before him was awesome. Long wait time in waiting room and I arrived 25 minutes early.

Dr. Argintar was very professional and knowledgable.

He is very accessible. I made a list of questions, and we worked through them. He explained each in a straight forward way. It was easy to make a decision.

He is so good listen person.

He is a caring professional who knew exactly how to begin my treatment.

best doctor and good bedside manner

Doc is very down to earth and personable. I feel he values my input regarding self-health awareness. He clearly answers any questions, explains problem conditions, and treatment procedures. Other staff members are warm and friendly.

Very nice office. The staff was professional, generally, but would benefit from being more sympathetic to patients waiting for over 45 minutes because someone double-booked the doctor. A simple “I’m sorry” would have done the trick for me, instead it left me infuriated as the girl at the counter asked whether I was in rush. Please, do not ask someone who has patiently waited for 30 minutes and is about to wait for another 20 minutes whether they are in a rush. Never appreciated, especially when it is your mistake! We all have jobs we need to go to.

My visit was fine. Whose responsibility is it to make sure that the Dr’s office has my appointment scheduled in their system. That was the only glitch. I still was seen in a timely manner. I like Zocdoc.

The wait is always substantially longer than the time spent with the Doctor. The front desk staff is very professional. The facility is always clean. The doctor is always positive and provide clear and concise information and instructions. The wait is just too long! Highly recommend but be prepared to wait.

I used to work with Orthopedic Surgeons and so I am familiar with them. He was very professional and nice…..very down to earth. I will see him again and if I need surgery down the road he is the one I will pick to do it.

The intake seemed disorganized. There were three to four people behind the counter and a line of about three or four people ahead of me just to sign in. The medical assistance who called me in from the waiting room let me into the back area, directed me to the hallway with instructions to find my examination room, but did not otherwise speak with me before seeing the doctor. The doctor was great — efficient,show more

I love this Dr Argintar very professional , smart , a lot a knowledge I feel I’m on good hand in order to cure this knee problem .

Dr. Argintar is very kind, knowledgable and efficient. He takes time to listen to your concerns, and also to discuss all options for treatment.

I thought my visit was too short.

Very personable and informative.

Excellent diagnosis and plan for recovery. Great to find out surgery was not needed.

Dr. Argintar is excellent, gets right back to you for questions.

This was a follow-up visit. My issues were addressed. I appreciate Dr. Argintar did not tell me what was better for me. He explained my condition and suggested I explore all the concerns I have and then we can decide what to do. He allowed me to share ownership in any decisions. .

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Argintar. He is far beyond outstanding. He has compassion while providing top-notch treatment. His manner eased all anxiety and frustration that I experienced at other medical facilities. He is superior in every area within his scope of practice and with every patient. I witnessed his manner with the staff. Everyone loves this doctor the accolades are well deserved.

I absolutely love Dr. Argintar! He listens carefully, understands the patients’ needs, and takes patient preferences into account. He even matched me to a physical therapist who he believed would be a great personality match. I highly recommend him for sports medicine or ortho related issues.

Dr. Argintar was wonderful! He actually greeted me and walked me to the exam room. He was funny, kind and very thurough.

It was a good visit. I feel that I am going to get the best treatment for me. I’m pleased.

Dr. Argintar was professional, articulate and extremely helpful in my initial consultation. Would absolutely recommend.

I had a horrible experience art the Medstar Orthopedic Center in Clinton, MD., was a little apprehensive about this visit. Dr. Argintar made me feel at ease right away. Before meeting with him, all the staff exhibited excellent tone and manner with professionalism. I highly recommend this Doctor, this location, and any other locations with which he may be associated.

Dr. Argintar was familiar with my knee problems from 2014. He immediately assessed the problem and diagnosed someother problems associated with my knee. We agreed upon a plan of treatment and evaluation after the physical therapy is completed.

Personable, informative

Quick and to the point, and gave me options on the care as it was something reoccurring. He wasn’t quick to the knife!

I dropped by for a knee injury consultation. Dr. Argintar/Evan was awesome. He got right to the point, didn’t delay with unneeded checks and expertly diagnosed my issue with a quick exam. Definitely recommend for young people who want to check on a sports injury and like funny, casual physicians. Also convenient location.

Dr. Argintar is a dynamic, young orthopedic surgeon and I feel confident I will have a great outcome in his care.

Great surgeon. Have full confidence in his surgery and treatment.

Dr. Argintar or Evan as he introduced himself, was great. Very knowledgable and intuitive. The staff at the practice was great as well!

Dr. Argintar was good at explaining what the problem was and presenting options that would allow me to continue running. Overall I was pleased with my experience.

I was incredibly pleased with the whole visit. It was slightly delayed due to surgery, which the doctor couldn’t exactly leave, but I still managed to get in and out in record time with prompt attention and care. I walked out in far better shape than I walked in (with a severely sprained ankle). I know that I’ll be back to miles each day in no time at all.

The best nautical visit went well. I’ll make the final judgement based on the outcome of the treatment.

Dr Argintar is an excellent doctor. Great bed side manner. Would not hesitate to recommend him with his expertise.

FIVE STAR’S…….

The exam was extremely rushed and very cursory. The doctor seemed to reach a conclusion before I even finished discussing the symptoms. He didn’t even order an X-ray for a potentially broken bone. He offered no suggestions for proving relief in the short term even though I wa s having difficulty walking short distances. For the one test ordered, u was continually sent to the weing location – it took over an hour for hospital personnel to find out where I was supposed to go and the type of test that was to be performed.show less.

The doctor was thoughtful and timely.

Great doctor.

Always gets right to the problem and wants to give the best options for treatment.

Dr. Argintar is great! I saw him for recurring shoulder pain and he was the most helpful in explaining what was happening. Other doctors just pushed me out the door with shots, medication and no clear diagnosis. I have seen improvement in my shoulder function after following his treatment plan.

Dr. Argintar is always a pleasure to visit. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions.

All questions answered including next steps. Dr. A. always available thru email which many doctors are not.

Dr. Argintar is a dynamic, young orthopedic surgeon and I feel confident I will have a great outcome in his care.

Dr. Evan is focused on getting you in and out. I would advise doing your research and finding a better provider.

Great, competent, no nonsense Dr. Had the issue figured out in less than 2 min. Was done in 5.

Dr Argintar is an excellent doctor. Great bed side manner. Would not hesitate to recommend him with his expertise.

Always positive but makes sure to give very clear instructions on how to go forward. Ready to answer any questions.

Very personable and answers your questions patiently. Does not talk down to you like many doctors unfortunately do.

Answered all questions satisfactorily & appears to be very knowledgeable.

It was good, I expected an x-ray of my lag that is still swollen however he treated me according to his experience.

The office is awful, receptionist couldn’t tell me how far behind the doc was. Waiting room uncomfortable and cramped.

Quick and to the point, and gave me options on the care as it was something reoccurring. He wasn’t quick to the knife!

Dr argintar is a specialist and does everything he can to see that I am can become whole again.

He was very polite and made me feel comfortable and confident with his findings and plan to correct my shoulder issue.

Dr. Argintar was professional, articulate and extremely helpful in my initial consultation. Would absolutely recommend.

Dr. Argintar was wonderful! He actually greeted me and walked me to the exam room. He was funny, kind and very thurough.

Great doctor. Spoke to me as if I was a human being. Extremely thorough and took the time to explain everything to me.

The wait time was about 45 minutes to get to the exam room. Otherwise, this was a great visit and the doctor was excellent!

Concerned, knowledgeable, professional, identified with my concern for understanding best approach to my treatment/recovery.

Dr. Argintar has a great bedside manner, and did a great job explaining my condition and his treatment recommendation. I would definitely see him again. Note that, in addition to seeing patients at Washington Hospital Center, has office hours one day each week on Capitol Hill.

Very helpful, quick, and efficient.

Dr. A is great! He is friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible (responds email even). He helped me regain mobility and stability in my shoulder with surgery after another doc basically told me I had arthritis (I didn’t) and I would have to “live with it.” His office though has sometimes very long wait times. I don’t blame him though and he is worth the wait.

Amazing. He was clear, knowledgeable, understanding, etc. I was really impressed. It’s been decades since I talked to a doctor and got clear, confident answers.

Dr. Argintar has a great bedside manner, instills confidence in what he’s telling you and is quick!

I’ve seen Dr. Argintar for other muscle/orthopedic problems. He did a thorough examination that was physical and visual. He looked through my medical folder to review the past doctor’s diagnosis and recommendations. He provided me recommendations on the medical options available to treat my problem. The diagnosis, medical treatment and other recommendations were very clear and concise. I was very satisfied using ZocDoc to schedule my appointment. I was expecting a 2 week waiting period for Dr. Argintar. To see that he was immediately available on my day off was absolutely great and coordinated well without having to take any leave. The ZocDoc technology features were easy to use and follow. The appt reminders by phone and email were very helpfu.

Great dr! Always attentive to problems. Performed a surgery on my hip 3 years ago and it’s felt great since. Always tried to find solutions.

He was very professional and straight forward. I wish he was my primary care Dr.

Three years ago I had my first appointment with Dr. Argintar and the treatment solve my problem successfully. That’s why I trust his professionalism and accurate diagnosis. I came this time for a different reason, he paid attention, explained extensively all my questions and give me the best treatment for the case. I’ll come back in 6 weeks for follow up.

Very knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful.

He is attentive and caring.

Fantastic Doctor.

Wonderful!

I thought the hospital’s office was very nice. Everyone in the hospital was polite and I felt like Dr. Argintar diagnosed me correctly. It was nice to finally hear from a doctor the reason for my elbow pain.

Complete waste of time. Office had NO idea I was coming, and did not have my referral my Primary Care Physician faxed over. Completely unprofessional. No plans to return.

Dr. Argintar is a terrific specialist. As soon as I walked into the office, I was taken to the exam room and before I could become situated Dr. Argintar began the exam. He was thorough in explaining my MRI results and recommended the best possible solution for the problem I was experiencing.

I appreciated how well Dr. Argintar explained his diagnosis.

Explained very clearly my options so that I could make informed choices. He took into consideration my concerns and provided excellent care. No hesitation in recommending him.

good bedside manner

The doctor and his staff are all great: congenial and knowledgeable. The only downside was the wait.

great bedside manner

I had a very bad experience with Dr Arginar. He took very little time to diagnose my problem. Recommended an MRI. Left the office without saying what would happen next. His assistant then came to see me and said they would follow up with my insurance and then get back in touch with me to schedule an MRI. They never got back in touch. When I tried calling his assistant doesn’t answer. I can’t leave a message because his inbox is full. I don’t even know whether they made a referral to the MRI department or not. Also, I had to wait for over an hour for my apointment and general support staff was very poor.

It’s difficult to rate a visit when you’re a new patient. I’m very satisfied with Dr. Argenta. I would refer him to others but the wait time in reception needs a little work.

Dr. Argintar was very helpful. I was relieved that he offers alternatives other than surgery. It would be great if he and his staff (and all service personnel) would be more sensitive about assuming a patient’s gender identity, especially if they do not identify with the gender binary.

good bedside manner

He was very polite and made me feel comfortable and confident with his findings and plan to correct my shoulder issue.

Dr Arginatar is awesome. ZocDoc dropped the ball.

My appt was at 2:30 and I was out by 3:00. Dr. Argintar gave me additional info and another treatment option that my previous doctor did not share with me. I feel hopeful now that I am heading in the right direction. Dr. Argintar is easy to communicate with through email and utilizes the help of an assistant who is very helpful.

What a fantastic Dr. He was excellent at explaining what treatments I needed in easy layman’s term. Would recommend him in a heart beat…and I am hard grader. His desk staff and assistant is also excellent. Really nice people in his office.

After waiting over an hour, the doctor’s visit only lasted five minutes or less.

Very experience about my problem and had a solution quickly. Love it

Outstanding!

I was early for this appt & was seen right away- Dr. Argintar is the best!

good

He’s great. Wonderful bedside manner.
