Marilou Tablang-Jimenez, MD

“I saw Dr. Tablang-Jimenez years ago and was delighted by her. She has an excellent bedside manner and truly cares about her patients. I never saw anything disingenuous about her. She thoroughly evaluated me medically and treated a diagnosis other doctors had missed completely. She also gives advice that’s pretty grounded and makes sense. While the wait time in the office can be lengthy at times, I feel that some appointments just run over and I never felt as if she was short changing me when I went into her office to speak with her. I do recommend her for accurate diagnosis, nice and kind bedside manner, and treatment.”

“She is very caring, listens very well, and takes time to answer all my questions. She spends a lot of time explaining medications and explains their mechanisms and how they might affect you. I am in the AIOP program at MedStar and the care I am receiving from her is excellent. Dr. Jimenez has even went out of her way to communicate with my other psychiatrist outside of my AIOP program to make sure that they are on the same page in terms of my treatment.”

“Slowest response for getting refills. Doctor runs late then rushes you. Doesn’t review your chart regularly so has no idea what meds and doses you have tried. Discharged a patient from the hospital without giving current prescriptions, after changing them during a two week hospitalization. When requested, they said “go back to your old ones this week while doctor is away.” Pharmacy we use remarks on how unresponsive this practice is for refill requests. Repeated phone calls from the patient and pharmacy requests are ignored for more than a week. This has been a chronic problem for 5 years through 2 different psychiatrists and 3 patients in our family. Office receptionist is kind and attentive but cannot get doctors to respond or demonstrate any actual concern or caring. Please do not entrust your loved ones here unless there is no other option. Ditto for ER in the same hospital. Many negative long term experiences here.”

“This lady will basically rob you if you pay out of pocket. She charged me for a 115 dollar psychotherapy session during my normal psychiatry meeting to discuss my medications. We spoke for barely 20 minutes and I was not under any impression that i was going in for therapy. Normally, therapy will last an hour and the conversation is meaningful which was not the case at all during my visit. I told her i was a college student and i was really tight for money and she took advantage of me anyways. My total bill was 265 dollars which is pretty disgusting this lady should be ashamed honestly. You better have great insurance if you want to see this lady.”
