National Institutes of Health

This place really needs to stop doing animal testing. Downright disgraceful and cruel for no reason. We should only be using human test subjects who are compensated and willfully taking part. Animals were not meant for our testing of more things for humans. Free Guinneas

Everyone I meet, all of my medical care professionals are the best.

Awesome environment at NIH. Easy Metro access. Clean grounds and buildings.

It's fine I feel like I need to get out of the shower

This is the place you come when you have exhausted all other possibilities. And here you are treated like and no other medical facility. The best doctors researchers nurses and clinicians want to heal you... And they aren't being pressured by financial pressures to see so many patients per hour. In fact the ratio of patient to nurse is two to one. They will endlessly answer questions and be available for email and phone call. This is medicine as it is meant to be

7 years ago my husband got a bone marrow transplant and they took care of him very well ( we got a rom at the children’s inn for free for 4 months and food everyday!
the management of this health institute is a high level

While their campus is larger, using their shuttle service helps navigate it easily. Security can be aggravating as the line can be long, but once inside, everything ran smoothly. All staff, aside from our direct contacts, were all helpful anytime we had a question or concern. Admissions took a while, but our admissions liason was friendly and professional.

The NIH is great place but access is restricted. If you are coming for the first time as a trial participant or patient, don't be too intimidated by the security or the scale of the place. Everyone is very helpful and always seem to understand our initial bewilderment.
