Gave advice on a shot that I wanted to get and how it could harm me. We ended up doing surgery and it went well and I am back into sports again…

Exceeded My Expectations-Great Pair

Dr. Hembree and Nurse Practitioner, Alexandra Hassani are very skilled, easy to communicate with, very passionate, professional, and likable. When I called MedStar months ago to make an appointment for my son injury, we had no idea who to request. The medical receptionist made the recommendation. Our surgery was scheduled within days after our first office visit. After surgery, Dr. Hembree walked in the waiting room with great news by providing an update and what to expect. He answered all my questions. My son surgery was a success.

Dr. Hembree and Nurse Practitioner, Alexandra Hassani work great together. This is a platinum team of highly skilled medical professionals.

Very happy I put my trust in him

I was unsure at first; I was in pain and had a hard time tolerating anything. But as visits progressed and I followed Dr. Hembree's action plan, everything turned out beautifully!

He listens which builds trust.

From the very beginning, Dr. Hembree explained clearly what my injury was and how he would fix it. He provided updates on my progress and told me precisely what I had to do and at what pace in order to be the most successful in my healing.

Dr. Hembree, his PA Alex and MedStar were great - everything was explained and seamless from diagnosis to surgery to post surgery carr

Dr. Hembree always took the time to listen, explain options and answer questions. I had complete trust that he would do whatever was best to heal my broken foot.

Support Team

This is my 2nd review in 24 hours; I felt that providing feedback on Dr. Hembree alone wasn’t enough. All the previous ratings on this form are for the providers below.

Candace Cephers was incredibly supportive during my hospital stay. She visited with me everyday; sat with me to discuss my injury, my recovery, and just to connect. She advocated for me when I was vulnerable and scared, and I will never forget her.

I’ve met with Alex Hassani twice in Dr. Hembree’s office. She is incredibly personable. She reminds me that I am strong and that I will overcome this. Alex puts me at ease and allows me to ask questions about my care.

I love seeing these incredibly bright, caring women working at Med Star. Well done on who ever hired them!

Exceptional from the start

Dr Hembree was exceptional from the first visit to my post surgery care. He spent time with me to explain the injury, what to expect and not to expect. He was patient with my concerns and answered all of my questions. I’m so grateful, I believe he saved my foot.
