Gary Harrington
"Dr. Harrington rocks. He is a total workaholic, who is taking care of his patients from sun up to sun down. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, explain his philosophy and approach to bariatric surgery and makes you feel very comfortable with his decision. He has surrounded himself with very capable people who each add to your office, hospital, and post-operative experience: His receptionist is sunny and kind, his nurse Alfreda is a former patient and a great woman, the dietition Melissa and the Therapist/Support Group Leader Maureen both do an excellent job of assisting patients. There is a great support group (every month on Tuesdays at Washington Adventist)--I've gone faithfully and really enjoy it. One and only one complaint--he is always, always late. Plan on office visits taking 2-3 hours and support group meetings always start late and run over. This is mostly because he gives every patient the time THEY need to feel confident about what is going on with them. I'd rather plan on waiting than have a doctor who doesn't care. Bottom Line: If you live in the Metro DC area and you are thinking about surgery, Dr. Harrington is the ONLY man to do it."

Washington Adventist Hospital
"Overall, they did a good job. They have a great bariatric team: Maureen and Melissa are always on hand to give you a boost, Dr. Harrington is amazing and his main nurse Alfreda is awesome. They need to get more "big" wheelchairs, but other than that, they had the right equipment for MO folks. I would definitely use the hospital again, if I had a need to."
