If you are doing or interesting in doing whole food, plant based, no added oil (Forks over Knives, Plant-Strong, etc.), I recommend Family Medicine Shady Grove very strongly. My wife and I were considering it when I had to find a new doctor last year. We were very fortunate to find Dr. Seem who asked me to watch some documentaries on WFPBNO as part of on boarding as a new patient. With Dr. Seems support, I was able to successful adopt WFPBNO, lose weight I had been struggling to shed for years without success, and dramatically improve my cholesterol numbers. I feel very supported by his knowledge and interest. I am optimistic that I will be able to continue to manage my risk of heart disease, which runs in my family, for the rest of my life largely through a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Doctor was professional. About staff members no comments. One staff was friendly who was helping us and showing what to do.they are from India. They looked hard working people. I personally like the working style. Doctor was good and professional. I prefer to going there and also I recommend.

Sorry, I cannot recommend this doctor (Dr. Seem). He seems unable to listen to what I told him. He said my anemia is due to ulcerative colitis, which I do have. I pointed out several times that I was shown to have anemia 20 years prior to being first diagnosed, but apparently this cannot be the case because there is no reason for a normal person to have anemia--apparently my memory was faulty. His prescription, which I think he uses for other patients as well, is that to insure health you need to take use a vegan diet. In addition for me I was to eat no fried foods, sweet foods, starchy foods, or vegetable oil. I pointed out that I was rapidly losing weight under this diet and he said I needed to eat more beans, lentils, and nuts and to stop eating meat and dairy. Of course, he assumed incorrectly that I was eating meat and dairy at this point. I told him he needed to listen better to his patients. Im sure many of his patients are happy, but if you ever think to ask him questions about his advice, he wont take it well. Oh, dont try to read peer-reviewed, published research papers about your conditions, because you are much better off just listening to his advice.

Dr. Seem is the best doctor I have ever had. He takes his time with me, listens, takes notes, and cares about helping me get better. His staff is also incredible. They have a wonderful Lab Technician in the office it is very easy to get your blood taken. I feel very cared for when I go to this office.You do want to set aside extra time when you make an appointment as there is usually a 15-30 min wait. I factor that into my schedule when I make an appointment.

Straight and to the point, and has no problem telling you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear (ex role of diet choices on other areas of health). Tries to address the problems you hit, rather than simply writing a prescription.

Both doctors (husband and wife) in this practice try to impose their way of life onto patient way of life. Their solution to most health problems is to become Vegan. Every time you mention any concern to them they would recommend Vegan. Diet. It seems like it’s part of their culture. I have dealt with them for more than four years and I am done with them.

Only interested in converting patients to veganism. Does not tolerate patients questioning his opinions. Tries to make follow up appointments for every issue rather than addressing it while you are there on site.

Dr. Seem is the best PCP that both wife and I had in MOCO area! hes knowledgeable and doesnt sugar coat about your health like other PCP does. He tells you directly about your health problems and what I should do towards to be healthier. Hes super fast! Im so glad I have him as my PCP!

Family Medicine Shady Grove provided the best care Ive ever had at a physicians office. Dr. Seem is detailed in his approach, interested in helping you achieve your best health, and his knowledge of nutrition along with medical expertise turned my health issues around very quickly. The whole food, plant-based diet that he recommends dropped my cholesterol by 96 points within 4 weeks.The office staff is excellent also - organized, professional, warm, and friendly.

Dr Seem and Dr Kalra are both very good family physicians! They provide very thorough medical assessments and give excellent advice for your health believing in a plant based food diet philosophy. Both my A1C and LDL cholesterol levels have gone back to the normal range after following their healthy food approach for the last year. I highly recommend both Dr. Seem and Dr. Kalra if you are looking for a good family doctor practice!

Dr. Kalra and Dr. Seem are the Best doctors. They are very caring and compassionate. When I needed an appointment for my dad they gave an appointment ASAP and they treated him immediately. They are very dedicated and thorough in treating their patients. The staff is excellent and always there to help. I would definitely recommend this practice for my friends and family.

Dr. Seem provides personal and comprehensive attention to his patients in ways most primary care physicians fall short. Dr. Seem genuinely cares about your health and wellness over pushing you through the door for another appointment. I highly recommend Family Medicine Shady Grove to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

If youre ready for a full transformation of your life style, Dr. Seem is for you. I had high level of cholesterol and he gave me two path to fight it; change my diet or go on a pill. He recommended to change my diet for four months and do blood work to see if its enough. After four months of being on this new plant based diet, everything changed for me. Cholesterol level went down, I lost weight and have more energetic than before. Since then, he educated me every time I met him either in person or over video chat. He take time to go over every concern you have, and provide you with source for everything he recommend.

They are very passionate about the health of their patients!

Dr Rohith Seem is a professional, courteous and detail oriented physician. The Front desk staff are really nice and good. I had in a reassuring way. Great experience!

I was seen at this office recently. It was a wonderful experience for me. the doctors are very caring and the office staff is extremely polite and friendly.

They scheduled me at 10am and I got visited at 11:30am. The front desk staffs are rude. Also, the doctor was very rude. Instead of being sorry for wasting my time, they were acting like I did something wrong. They also try to exploit the insurance as much as they can.Update: I just posted my experience that I had with that office about a year and a half ago. So after posting a one star review, the doctor called me, by the way, Im not his patient anymore, to say he is sorry for what I experienced. I noticed there was no intention of me having that experience. So I found he might be over stressed and over worked because of being over scheduled. So my intention of posting reviews is to be heard and see there is a progressive response. So the doctor heard and responded to my criticism. Also, he assured, they work hard to eliminate such unwanted experiences for patients. So now, I give them a 4star review.

My whole family has been going to Family Medicine Shady Grove for several years and we are beyond pleased with the practice. Dr. Kalra and Dr. Seem go beyond the call of duty and are very thorough with their assessments, immunizations and protocol. You can also expect a very prompt response from everyone at the practice. My family is myself, my husband and 3 kids age 17-24. My in-laws and sister in law and nephew also go to the practice. I have referred several friends to them who are extremely happy. They definitely are a 5 star in my eyes!!

Do not ask the front desk if they take your insurance. Verify for yourself first.They told me they took my insurance the first time I called. It was literally the first thing I asked. Then, a day later, after I have given them all of my information, they decided to tell me they cant schedule me an appointment until I verify with my insurance company first. On a Friday.Two days wasted, And they have all of my health and personal information.

Great experience, got my results for immigration exams in no time!

Family Medicine Shady Grove offers the best medical care I have experienced. Both physicians are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They go above and beyond to get to know their patients thoroughly in order to correctly diagnose and treat. The staff is professional, diligent, and courteous as well. Highly recommended!

Dr. Rohit Seem lives up to his accolades as Best Doctor. I have since brought my three sons to him & he has shown genuine care by spending enormous time to check on our health & well being including explaining what are our dietary needs & where to find them. His staff are kind & professionals.Dr Seem is very thorough & asks very caring & thoughtful questions & spends twice the time most doctors’ would spend with their patients. My three sons loveDr Seem, too. We all look forward to seeing him during our annual physical check ups. Thank you, Dr Seem ! May your tribe increase.

I have been going to Dr. Kalra and Dr. Seem for my entire family and have found them and their team to warm, caring and very competent. They take the time, bending over backwards, to assist. For example, when I made a mistake on my sons school health forms, they gladly printed new forms for me instead of asking me to come back with reprinted ones. I also have seen late night responses on their portal to my questions - telling me much about their attention to detail and the care they take of each patient. Emphasizing the prevention of diseases through diet, they spend a lot more time explaining things and sharing resources where we can get information on how to take better charge of our well-being. Where needed, they look into innovative saliva testing through cutting-edge labsfor tracking and working with hormonal imbalances and more. I feel very fortunate to have them taking care of the health of my family.

I absolutely love Family Medicine Shady Grove. Dr. Kalra is such a knowledge physician that cares truly about her patients. She by far has been the best doctor I have had. Her office is beautiful and her staff is so friendly and helpful. My experiences at Family Medicine have been very pleasant. Definitely recommend this office to everyone!

Both Dr. Kalra and Dr. Seem are excellent doctors, I have first hand experienced and witnessed how they put their heart and soul into patient care. They are Vegan doctors, so if you are wanting to switch your habits into healthier living definitely book with them as well. They give the best recommendations. Both doctors are very knowledgeable very thorough and compassionate.

I have been with Family Medicine Shady Grove for more than 3 years. They are Knowledgeable, caring and respectful people. I have the best doctor ever: Dr Seem.

Its quite some wait and I complained to him; he ended up yelling at me, and asking me to leave on the spot. I mentioned to him that i would like to be treated first and he refused. Its pretty unbelievable. He could have communicated with me in a calm and professional way. Whether it be me being impatient or the wait really long, its better to talk about it, than kicking your patient out of the door. He could be very controlling and demanding if things dont go his way.

12/19/2015This is a great Dr. The best I have had. That is why I am writing this review for him. A real gentle-man. He is a very knowledgeable and thorough Physician who genuinely cares about my health. And he does spend as much time as he needs to diagnose and treat health issues. And the office staff are also great. All good people have come together in this office. I have recommended him to my co-workers, my friends and my wife. They are all happy with him. I am fortunate to have found this office.I had my physical yesterday. And today did my blood-work. Did not have to wait at all. The staff are very nice/polite and caring as well. The phlebotomy technician was also well trained and did the blood work very quickly. I love these people. Highly recommend them. Going back for sure.11/15/2017My first time in this office. Office is nice and clean. The staff are well organized and professional and friendly. Annual checkup was scheduled for 8:30 am. I was seen at 8:30 on time. Nurse was professional and knowledgeable. Dr Seem is a great Dr. Took his time. Answered all my questions plus few recommendations. Did a thorough exam. Lab for blood test is inside the office. Very convenient. Highly recommended.

So fortunate to have found this practice! Dr. Seem is extremely thorough, caring, and knowledgeable. After two years of coming here, I have nothing but kudos for the entire practice.

Dr. Seem is incredibly thorough in his assessment of the patient and in his explanation of lab results. He emphasizes health education and nutrition and truly seeks to empower the patient. Being in the health care profession myself, I can attest that such a caring and careful provider is a true gem.

I have been with the practice sense 2015 and I have always had pleasant experience with everybody there. Kerlin, being the one who has been with the practice since its inception, has always been super friendly, on top of things, and very accommodating. I needed emergency access to Dr. Karla so many times and she always went above and beyond to make that happen. Julie, the newer member, is also nice with warm personality. With very short period of time after her start with the practice, she became self-suffienct in handling patients at the front desk. Keep it up ladies, you are doing great!!

I have been seen at this office and after completing my visit I got an issue about the billing. However, the doctor resolved the issue. Their service in regard to the medical aspect is great.

Absolutely the worst doctor I’ve ever seen. Dr. seem and the staff are very rude and inconsiderate, and the wait time is higher than average.After already waiting about 40 mins, I was quickly rushed during my consultation and the doctor didn’t even mention we were finished, but instead just walked out and went to see another patient. I then had to wait another 30 mins just to ask a question. His vegan diet seems to be the only good choice for all his patients, according to him.There are many better physicians in the area that you should consider seeing before you waste your time at this office.

Contrary to the other reviewer, my experienced with both Dr. Seem and Dr. Kalra was excellent. Dr. Seem was very thorough in caring for my son. Other general medicine practices feel like a sausage factory in the way they push people through the machine. Not so with this practice. I have recommended both doctors to friends and family and am extremely happy with their services to date.

Ive had a positive experience with Doctor Rohit Seem - Hes been very attentive, thorough in all assessments and efficient in helping make the right health related decisions

I took my 1 year old daughter to see Dr. Kalra because she came highly recommended as someone who approaches each problem holistically. Sure enough Dr. Kalra believes in treating the patient as a whole. She doesnt quickly resort to medication but rather offers healthier alternatives. I then went to her myself and found her just as caring and extremely thorough. She provides great medical insight and takes very long to get to know you. What I loved the most about her is that she actually cared about my health and talked to me as a human being. I recommend her to all my friends and family.

The service at this practice has declined since previous front desk staff have left. Therefore, I will be seeking out another practice. Manisha Kalra ,MD appears to have some personal issues that she needs to resolve. She entertains and allows her immature, incompetent, low paid front desk staff Julie and Kerlin to perform poorly. Both mixed up my appointments and said that I left a voice message to cancel an appointment. When in fact, they mixed up the patient schedule. Instead of apologizing for their error they gave bad attitudes and started speaking in spanish. Healthcare is one of those expenses that requires quality service since its a big out of pocket expense even with insurance!

Experienced trashy attitudes from the front desk and the doctors allow it. Unfortunately, the front desk also assist in the treatment rooms. Im someone that does not like negative people touching me. So when Kerlin (front desk assistant) acts rude handling appointments and other administrative task- I do not want her touching me in the back office. Kerlin and Julie are two of the same. Both Hispanic females who act more pleasant around those who speak spanish. Theyre in the wrong job because Montgomery County, MD is a diverse location of people. Not just spanish speaking people. These two females need to grow up, polish their professional skills and people skills for the workplace. They need to remember they are in a service position and need to be able to relate to the English-speaking population before it grows into a huge problem. I will not be returning to this practice.UPDATE: After ending patient care at this place, I received a questionable bill. When calling the office to inquire on Friday, 1/26/18, the dreadful receptionist kept placing me on hold and hanging up the phone. This despicable display is between the two [RAT]chet hispanic females named Julia and Kerlin, who sit at the front desk like guard dogs. Manisha Kalra is aware of this behavior but she does nothing about it. The BEST DECISION I made was to release this physician from proving medical treatment to me. A formal complaint will be filed with the State of Maryland Board about this bad practice and I will dispute any collections filed against me because my attempt to make a phone payment was rejected by way of hanging up on me.

I always have a wonderful experience at FMSG!

Dr Rohit seem is an excellent doctor

They ask you to come back again and again for minor things, and they charge you with a crazy bill. Literally there is no way they tell you are normal. There was another lady in the office complaining about these insurance games they pull on you

Horrible bedside manner from Dr. Kaira and the medical assistant Rosa. They told me I wasn’t a good fit for the practice because I wasn’t comfortable discussing my medical history with Rosa. Dr. Kaira never tried to discuss why I was uncomfortable.

Really helpful Dr
