Testimonials from patients of Dr. Scanlon
I know I’m getting good medical care. More importantly, I know I’m being cared for. Thank you.
One morning a couple of summers ago, I woke up with the experience of vertigo, something I had never experienced before. Walking was a challenge if I didn't hold onto a wall. I was pale as a ghost and breaking out in sweats. At the time, my primary care physician was affiliated with a medical group at a local university. Although he was a fine person and physician, he was overburdened… See more
Dr. Scanlon has been my general practitioner for almost 22 years. When I moved from upstate New York to Maryland in 1998 to accept a job in DC, one of the first things I did was to research general practitioners in the greater DC area. Dr. Scanlon's name came up several times as being one of the best physicians. Over the years, I have travelled more widely, and, to fairly remote places… See more
Bruce and I are hiking on a glacier located on Mont Blanc in the Swiss/Italian Alps. This was less than two and half months after I broke my ankle in Greece and had ankle surgery back home. I am grateful for the referrals Dr. Scanlon gave me that made the surgery and healing process go so well.
I switched to MDVIP and Dr. Scanlon a couple of years ago because I felt that I was not getting the kind of medical care I wanted. I was seeing a number of specialists, but no one was keeping track of what the other was doing, and I was afraid that something would fall between the cracks. Now, I feel that there is one qualified medical professional overseeing all of my medical care. If I am… See more
As you will note in the photo Dr Scanlon and I have a much different view of the world. I see it from on high while her view is more down to earth. In my case I have suffered all my life from a cyclops condition which Dr Scanlon has caringly treated. Before her medical intervention I had one large eye in the middle of my forehead.
I know that is hard to believe but true. Needless… See more
So happy you are my doctor - thank you for everything you do!!
Dr. Scanlon has been my personal physician for a long time now, so she already knows my very complicated background before I even go in for my annual physical :-) Having her know that background is very important to me, and helps her identify any specialists that I might need on an on-going basis. Most recently I had contracted walking pneumonia without realizing it. Took me probably toooo… See more
I have known Dr. Sharon Scanlon as my doctor for many years. Her wellness philosophy has evolved with her practice. I first learned about the Mediterranean diet from her years ago, before everyone was talking about it. She is always helping me by looking ahead with life changes coming up. A salute to Dr. Scanlon!
