Terentiev Andrei MD

I went here because I had a high deductible plan with only physicals covered and Dr. Terentiev was the only internist /​GP in Edgewater. I went in for my physical … the nurse was nice, but I thought Dr. Terentiev could have a better bedside manner.
The office messed up where the medical coding was incorrectly entered and I kept getting billed for tests that should have been covered. I talked to BCBS insurance and eventually the error was fixed. I missed my last refill on a prescription he gave me a week past the expiration date so CVS had to call the doctor’s office to get permission to refill … 3 weeks of unanswered calls later, they finally got in touch with the receptionist.
I am sure that Dr. Terentiev is an adequate physician but I felt a little uncomfortable around him. He is a little cold and abrupt. His bedside manner could use some improvement. I also spoke to a friend in my town who had gone to him and heard that he had misdiagnosed her sister with serious consequences. I only went in for a physical but probably will not go back. I changed my plan and for a $ 40 deductible, will conduct a more thorough search for my primary.

I went to this doc to get my tetanus immunization shot done. As a result I had a severe reaction including fever which is rare but possible. When I called the office (I only got through to them after numerous calls) the doctor didn’t think it was necessary enough to talk to me and told his receptionist that I must have a cold and that they couldn’t help me. I would be nice if he picked up the phone and said that side effects as harsh as the are go away within a few days and that they were there if I needed them. Sorry doc, but you have to care for your patients.

Dr. T has been my physcian for over several years. While it is true that you can expect a longer wait experience but that is only because unlike most other dr’s, he spends time with you and carefully explains everything as well as addresses all your questions. I have never been rushed or felt rushed which means a great deal to me. And also, Dr. T is not quick to write off a fix by filling a script. If there is a more natural rememdy, he will advise as much. Overall, Dr. T, in my opinion is a rare breed!

Very professional and detailed at explaining everything. Very friendly staff and doctor.

Doesn’t seem very knowlegable. Was very vague with his explanation — required a lot of probing to get things out of him.
The receptionist is the worst — incredibly rude and curt. Doesn’t explain anything and gets mad for asking questions.
Went cause I needed an appointment fast — one good thing is you can usually get an appointment on short notice. But in hindsight, better to wait to see a «real» doctor and staff who’re nice. Don’t go

Dr. Terentiev is «OK» but not one of the better doctors or practices I’ve been to. Here is why:
1) I was not impressed with his knowledge of some of my medical issues. (without getting into specifics)
2) Receptionist was quite rude. (But nurse was very kind)
3) I had an appointment but still had to wait for 40 min before he saw me.
4) He was not very comfortable to talk with but that is a personal issue.
