Joann Urquhart

This doctor is one of the best I have seen in my whole life. She really exams you. She is really concerned to find what is going on and how can she help you. Also the office team is very nice.

One of the best doctors in the Maryland, DC, Virginia area. Her extra care she shows her patients is second to none.

Had a fantastic experience at Dr. Urquhart's office, and her staff are so great to work with. They are all in-sync, and made me feel comfortable throughout each visit. Both receptionists are fantastic and do a great job with booking appointments and managing their schedule. Professional and talented. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her and their team.

I’ve been treated by Dr Urquhart for many years. Having two significantly different heart conditions requires a cardiologist who is exceptionally skilled, Dr Urquhart is exactly this doctor. I’ve recommended her multiple times without reservation and those people have been exceptionally pleased as well. Dr Urquhart’s staff can be quirky, but once you understand this you will realize you are there to see the best Cardiologist around, and it’s easy to look past the idiosyncrasies of her staff. If you want a fancy office and some high-tech straight out of school newbie doctor look elsewhere, if you want the a highly experienced expert Cardiologist she fills that requirement. Dr Urquhart is absolutely terrific and highly recommended.

Dr was great. Staff great except for the receptionist. She charged me a copay when I have none and would not let me keep my appt unless I paid. She is rude and doesn’t maintain patient confidentiality. I gave five stars because the doctor is so great

Dr Urquhart and her team are amazing. She is thorough, not leaving any stones unturned! I went in not knowing what to expect and she put my concerns to bed with her can do attitude. Her team was incredibly courteous and service minded! I have recommended her to many others looking for a great cardiologist! See you in a year! Thank you Dr Urquhart!

Dr. Urquhart was not helpful to me. I have a less straight-forward condition and I did not see good clinical skills or much interest on the part of Dr. Urquhart. My problem was dropping blood pressure after eating and tachycardia, with very debilitating symptoms. The problem did not appear to originate in the heart or circulatory system, and after determining this, Dr. Urquhart was clueless as to what it might be and not interested in finding the answers. She asked me what my family physician thought of "all this." Seriously? He referred me to a cardiologist, and a good one should have thoughts of her own on "all this." She seemed to have no knowledge of postprandial hypotension or splanchnic vasodilation. No interest in gaining the knowledge either, it seemed. What a shame.

I did not have a good experience with Dr. Urquhart. Of the three in-office visits I had, the wait was over an hour twice. I was seen for postprandial (after meal) tachycardia and BP disturbances, which had already been diagnosed by a different cardiologist. I was looking for treatment as this condition is quite debilitating. Instead I got a repeat of the tests already completed (plus some others) and a medication that made things worse. After Dr. Urquhart established that I didn't have any diseases of the heart and circulatory system, she was done. She asked me what my internist thought of "all this." Really? He was the one who referred me to a cardiologist. Postprandial problems with the cardiac rythm and blood pressure can be caused by a variety of endocrine and GI issues (reactive hypoglycemia, dumping syndrome, etc.), especially in people over 50. Dr. Urquhart seemed to have no knowledge in this area and no interest in helping me get relief. Very disheartening, no pun intended.

Wonderful doctor. Knowledgeable, patient, and caring. Great staff as well.

Dr. Urquhard is by far the most comprehensive cardiac Dr. I've ever met. The bedside manner and knowledge can't be surpassed. I've been to her office twice and both time I have had the best, most complete diagnosis information. If you have heart issues, see Dr. Urquhard!

Great experience. Friendly, kind staff. Appointments do take a long time but it's because they are thorough but the time is worth it. Best Cardiologist I have seen hands down. I would recommend Dr. Urquhart and her facility to everyone.

Dr. Urquhart is amazing. She listen and is incredibly thorough and explains everything well. Her MA and most of the other staff are also great. The exceptions are her receptionist and her echo technician. I received a voicemail while I was at work from the technician asking if I could come in to my appointment a little earlier the same day. I called the front desk to ask if I should come in for my appointment at the scheduled time, and the receptionist was rude and unhelpful. I ended up coming in earlier than scheduled, only to discover that the tech had been planning to go home early, despite my having a previously scheduled appointment. She was also a little insensitive during the echo -- not giving me privacy to change, having non-medical staff come in and out of the room during the procedure, and just not being very accommodating overall. But I wouldn't let this dissuade you from seeing Dr. Urquhart, as she is truly incredible. Just brace yourself for the less than stellar staff.

Dr. Urquhart is very thorough both in the exam you get and in the explanation she gives. She also respects the patients' input.

Office staff and nurses were wonderful, friendly, funny. No anxiety anywhere. They made my appointment very relaxed. And Dr. Urquhart was very kind and easy to talk to. She did more for me in my first visit than I would have ever imagined and I left feeling very confident that I was in the right place.

Waiting two hours for my first appointment. Had a blood test on 12/6/2019. It's 3/7/2019 and no one has called me with any results. Drove to office and they gave me a printout of my blood test and sent me on my way. Still can't get a copy of my other test results. Simply awful from start to finish with a receptionist who's eating McDonald's when you walk in. Waiting two hours for my first appointment. Had a blood test on 12/6/2019.

I really like the cardiologist but the receptionist was very strange. she was not rude to me but but was very rude to other patients .. . in the waiting room and on the phone. ...she would actually call people.a... oles...after she put the phone down. she also said out loud awful things...one thing that was an awful thing to say ...she may have been joking but it was shocking. she may have been joking but it was not funny. she also made it so I could not return to see my doctor for a followup...as she said I did not have one and refused to make an appointment. ..when I got my notes. it did indeed say I was due for a followup to see if beta blocker dose needed changing and if pericarditis had cleared up etc. Now the doctor was lovely and caring.just not sure why she would hire a receptionist that was foul mouthed and unprofesssional.

Very responsive and great follow through

Receptionist and staff are incredibly heinous. So ignoramus.

Very very bad experience! Awful!

Extremely thorough exam and tests. Doctor is highly knowledgeable in her field!

Best physician...she saved my husband's life...Her education on Cardiology is exceptional.., great facility, caring staff...We never had to wait longer then 30 mins, and if we had to. wait longer, we would wait all day., ❤

Dr Urquhart diagnosed an infection present in the pericardium that had gone undiagnosed by multiple other doctors from quite some time. I appreciate her no nonsense approach and straightforward care.

I needed a new cardiologist after having valve surgery and a change of health insurance. Dr. Urquhart was pleasant and easy to understand. Additionally, another doctor attempted to tell me that I needed a particular weekly treatment. I was skeptical, so I showed Dr. Urquhart his findings and she simply said, "I don't agree with this." She saved me a lot of time and money from this other doctor's false report! I thank God He directed me to her. I needed a new cardiologist after having valve surgery and a change of health insurance.

I have to concur with the reviews here. I have been a patient for 20years and have referred Dr. Urquhart to family and friends without reservation. The receptionist does not have your life in her hands afterall, and must in the end take care of patient needs because she has been there forever. Dr. Urquhart is indeed "the best of the best". She is no- nonsense, patient whole health centered, never seems rushed or dismissive. Highly recommend.

Dr. Urquhart herself the best of the best, well worth dealing with her INCREDIBLY unprofessional receptionist and awful wait times to see her. She explains things throughly and goes out of her way to listen to her patients. You would never guess that based on her receptionist who seems constantly in a bad mood, and terribly inconvenienced whenever she has to do her job.

Comprehensive history, tests and exams. Doctor has thorough knowledge in cardiac field. Up to date on recent research and practices.

Dr Urquhart is thorough and keeps the patient very well informed. She is someone who inspired trust through her display of up to date knowledge and shill. I have every reason to admire and respect her.

Absolutely horrid front desk staff. They bad mouth patients as other patients are sitting there. The wait in the waiting room is at least an hour, with only 2 people in the office. While the staff is constantly busy eating and chatting on the phone. When asked how long the wait will be, you receive a rude "I don't know". When calling to make an appointment and letting front desk know of which times you have available, they say "I don't care, just schedule a time". The MEANING of UNPROFESSIONAL!

The first visit, I waited two hours to be seen. On the second visit, I was scheduled for a stress test. I waited one hour in the waiting room and then another 20 minutes in the exam room. When I complained, they told me the wait would be AT LEAST another 30-45 minutes. I left and will not go back. Total disrespect for the my time.
