Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Amerena is very patient and kind. I have been seeing him for several years. He always listens to my concerns and works them up.

The doctor discharge me out of his practice because I had a $25 copay bill that I was not aware. I was told that in order to continue to get service I would need to pay the bill, as soon as I paid the $25 bill I was told that the doctor will not see me anymore, and I was discharged from his practice. His practice has offices all over Frederick and the majority of good doctors with good reputation in Frederick belongs to this practice. Because of $25 a very ill patient now has to seek care in Reston Va... avoid this doctor and his practice, as money comes first and your health is an after thought.

Dr. Amerena has been my primary care physician since 2001. He and his team at the Spring Ridge office of FPCA have always been professional, courteous, and caring. As Doctor's go, he is a great communicator and has a down to earth way about him - he takes whatever time is needed to answer questions and explain things. I highly recommend him.

I was a patient of Doctor Amerena for at least 8 years, and one of my visits I forgot to pay a $30 co-pay. The Doctor/Practice discharge me from their care even after paying the $30.00 co-pay. They stated that I have not seen the doctor in a while and Doctor Amerena no longer wants to see you… What a horrible doctor, when I need him the most he turns me away.
