I first met with Dr Barr of this group practice in 1990. I had been ill for over a year, had a variety of biopsies, two root canals, thyroid scan, whole body scan, all to discover why I had a lump behind my ear. I had no working diagnosis, only a vague reference to having Epstein Barr syndrome. I had been to an event where someone mentioned that the local expert on Epstein-Barr was Dr. Barr. So I booked an appointment. Within 2 minutes of looking over my binder of biopsies etc, he said, «you don’t fit the profile of patients I see with this syndrome, but be prepared to hear that it is serious when we do get a diagnosis.» He pointed to one of the biopsies where it said something like«it is not … hodgkins lymphoma, but we cannot rule out …xxx…however unlikely it seems» Within a week, I was scheduled for a biopsy of the lump behind my ear and within two weeks, I got the dreadful news. A week later I started chemo and have obviously defied the odds to write this review. Dr. Barr has since retired, but I continued to see other doctors in this ENT practice. I’ve found all of them to be excellent physicians. The support surrounding the practice is outstanding. They know insurance plans. You are seen at your appointed time. I can usually be seen for acute conditions such as sinusitis the same day; if not at the Chain Bridge location, then at the K-Street location.
