Rather than using insurance for your medical services, the only charge is an annual professional fee, which covers essentially all of Dr. Kris’s services.  There are no other bills. You may call our office at 301-774-7115 to get answer to any questions you may have or to request that literature be mailed to your home.

Even people with excellent medical coverage often find they do not have convenient access to the medical care they need. For example, when they call their doctor’s office, they may be placed on hold for an extended period of time or have to press numbers on a voicemail line to get through to a live person. When they’re finally offered an appointment, it may not be soon enough or at a time that fits their schedule. They may wait an hour or more in a crowded waiting room to be seen and then feel rushed through their visit before all their questions are answered. Simple questions aren’t answered over the phone, and they can’t send an e-mail to their doctor when they have a concern

Of course, your Medicare coverage with all other doctors, hospitals and facilities remains intact.
