Your Neighborhood Doctor, Just Across the DC Line

A lot of DC patients come to us because they want a doctor who actually knows them. No hospital system, no portal, no shuffling between providers. A practice where you see the same doctor every visit, follow-up is easy to get, and nobody is rushing you out the door. That's what we are. Small by design.

We welcome Medicare and Maryland Medicaid, along with most major commercial plans and self-pay patients. If you've been putting off establishing care because you weren't sure we'd take your insurance, call us at 301-200-0960 and we'll tell you straight.

Dr. Gougian is a USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon and has completed thousands of immigration medical exams. If you found us through the USCIS civil surgeon directory, you're in the right place. The I-693 is done correctly, the sealed envelope goes home with you, and we see a high enough volume of these exams that nothing catches us off guard. We also see many patients who come directly from Washington, DC. University Park is just minutes across the Maryland line on Baltimore Avenue, and the drive is straightforward.

The exam fee is quoted before you book. Vaccines and lab tests are added only if you actually need them. We do immunity testing first so you're not repeating shots you've already had. We know your case has a timeline. We work with that. Spanish-speaking patients are welcome; we have bilingual staff to help.

No judgment here. If you've tried other things before and they didn't stick, that's a common story. Not a character flaw. Dr. Gougian is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means weight management is a clinical specialty, not a side service. You don't need to prove you're sick enough or heavy enough to ask for help.

Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, phentermine, and Qsymia are all on the table. The right fit depends on your health history, your goals, and what's actually accessible for you. If you've read concerning things about GLP-1 medications, we'll talk through that honestly. There are real considerations, and you deserve a straight answer, not a sales pitch. We also help with prior authorization when insurance coverage is possible, and we're upfront about what things cost when it isn't. First visit is $200. Follow-up visits are $150. No subscription, no recurring program fees.
