Michael C Trahos, DO

I recently moved to Washington D.C. area and needed a new primary Dr. I saw Dr. Trahos’ reviews and decided to give him a try and was very pleased with his demeanor, thoroughness and caring demeanor. It is nice to have a physician who really cares and LISTENS… BRAVO !

Dr. Trahos is a great doctor. He really helps me keep many aspects of my health issues managed together. He has medical students that he trains as well and therefore takes the time to explain important points he needs to make to me and that will benefit the student. He is clear on his directions and asks for follow up on the issues that he thinks need to be reviewed. Being a DO is one of the main reasons I choose him in the first place and I am glad I did. The nurse is friendly as well and answers my questions well when I call.

Dr Trahos is a great doctor. Always takes the time to listen and his diagnostics and prescriptions are correct! So far my breathing (asthma) and my heartburn are under control for the past 2 years.
LOVE HIM!

I have been a patient for more than 1 year. Dr. Trahos takes time to answer my questions and consider multiple treatment options. I feel he cares about getting the treatment right for me personally.
I also like that he has students with him. They always ask if it’s okay if the student (s) participate of sit in on the visit, so if you don’t want them around, no problem.
The receptionists are wonderful as well.
Overall, great experience with Dr. Trahos and his office.

I am so happy to finally find a doctor I really, really like (I’ve tried a couple in this area). First of all, they were able to get me in the same day I called, parking was easy and the office staff and nurse were friendly. I did have to wait half an hour with nobody else in the waiting room so I would really give this practice 4.5 stars. BUT, after meeting Dr. Trahos, I had to give 5. He was friendly, easy-​going, professional and took time to talk to me! He was able to diagnose me immediately but still took time to do an exam. He had med students with him and they were very professional as well. I’m always happy to let students practice on me (especially speak as a health care professional myself). Overall, I am very pleased and definitely going to make him my regular PCP.

I concur with the other good comments. I just moved to the area and found Dr Trahos on my medical’s web site. At first, i was a little nervous with the med students but it was cool cuz as he explained to them i got an understanding. Also, he explained exactly what each blood test was for. :) Love him.

Dr. Trahos is a doctor that takes his take with a patient, listens which is extremely rare in the US and a very good diagnostician. I am very happy that I found such a good doctor in this area.

He’s an osteopath so that’s a plus for me.
He has medical students with him during appointments (but always asks if its OK for them to stay). It’s kind of good because as he explains things to them I get more comprehensive information about my condition from their questions. I don’t know why doctors don’t give these kinds of thorough explanations to patients themselves. Apparently they think we’re too dumb. Wrong. At one point Dr. Trahos said said to his med students that they should talk to patients like they are middle schoolers because that’s the level of education/​intelligence most of them have. (I can’t believe he said that in front of a patient! And I hope he never talks down to me as if I’m 12 or I’ll be going elsewhere. So far that’s not an issue, though.)
Some others commented on rude receptionists. I don’t have any evidence of that. Everyone I encountered in the office seemed nice enough to me.

Dr. Trahos is my primary doctor for the past twelve years. He managed my health condition and monitored my recovery from two accident in the past few years (One fall of the ladder and a car accident). He is highly experienced, friendly and passionate. It is worth mentioning his extremely nice staff Lorena and Celes. Very courteous and professional.

Great physician, very personable, and genuinely seems to care about each of his patients. he returns emegerncy calls, is thorough in his notes, and has a very nice staff as well as excellent med student mentoring. I would recommend anybody to Dr. Trahos.

I was in search of a reliable primary care physician that actually cares about your well being and not about rushing you back out the door so they they can see more patients. Needless to say the search was long.
I finally found Dr. Trahos on ratemydoctor and the reviews were positive so I gave it a shot. I went in for a routine checkup and he was very nice and welcoming. He answered any questions I’ve had and took the time to explain, step-​by-​step, the check up procedures that he was perform.
I highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

I LOVE Dr. Trahos! My co-​pay is dirt cheap (maybe that means I just love my insurance?) but for $ 10 I get some random jokes, a doctor who actually is a nice person and listens to what I have to say, AND a chiropractic adjustment!
He is not one to just dole out an RX for whatever is wrong, but actually explains how to adjust your lifestyle for whatever is wrong with you. I would highly recommend him!
I also really like his med students that are there. They are usually very knowledgeable and nice.

Dr. Trahos is a great physician — a funny one too.
I went for my regular physical checkup and cholesterol test prep. The receptionists were somewhat rude. I have yet to encounter a friendly receptionist. This normally transitions to equally rude doctors. Not Dr. Trahos.
He was great. He welcomed me and thoroughly did checkups using his experiences and personal tips. Although it was same routine checkup, he made it fun and did it very comfortably unlike other doctors who hates seeing patients like me since I’m only here for routine checkups and that doesn’t translates to $$$.
I’ll be sure to coming back but dealing with receptionists isn’t something I’m looking forward to.

Thorough and considerate doctor — sometimes a little too thorough though… had me get multiple blood tests due to extended family history of cholesterol despite the fact I’m 24 and have a healthy BMI.
Not a long wait, very courteous, and knows what he is doing — can’t complain too much.
