After rotating through many primary care physicians who really didn't know me or my medical problems, I finally feel like I have found a medical home where I receive outstanding tailored to my specific health needs and problems. In addition, service is always provided in a rapid time frame.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Communication is paramount to the doctor-patient relationship, and I spend extra time to develop meaningful relationships with my patients both inside and outside of the exam room. I enjoy sharing healthy cooking tips to improve nutrition, and we incorporate exercise, such as Pilates and Yoga to enhance flexibility, improve sleep quality and increase core strength. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.
I am one of a few female MDVIP-affiliated internists in the Washington, D.C. area. My practice is located in Bethesda, MD, serving the Arlington and McLean areas of Virginia, as well as the Potomac, Wheaton and Silver Spring communities of Maryland and Washington, D.C. I am affiliated with Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center in Rockville, Maryland and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and I always visit patients in those hospitals. As a primary care doctor board certified in internal medicine, I also have interests in preventive medicine, women’s health, nutrition and integrative health. I speak fluent English and Spanish.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Keshishian
Dr. Keshishian has always responded warmly and expertly to any of my health-related questions and concerns. It's a pleasure to have her as my physician.
My wife and I recently had our annual wellness exam with Dr. Keshishian. We've never had a doctor who showed such interest in our health and well being. The way she practices medicine, and the way she treats her patients, is how the medical system in this country is supposed to work!
Haven't had such a wonderful & caring doctor, since the very late and wonderful Dr. Hubert Alpert. Please keep your practice going for a very long time. You are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's heartwarming to know you have a doctor who is interested in your health, who listens to you and who actually cares about you.
I am very grateful to the friend who guided me to MDVIP. I am also truly grateful to have Dr. Keshishian as my doctor. She is very kind, understanding and interested. She listens. I am very comfortable with her.
My story is that I came to Dr. Keshishian shortly after she began working at Bethesda Medical Associates. I needed a doctor who would work with me, a guy who has had an MI and who is chronically anxious. About 5 months after we started I experienced CHF at about the same time my wife did as well. I'm on Warfarin and Plavix now (left ventricular clot) and she monitors my INR.
