DC Internists

Prospective patients start by completing an inquiry form on the DC Internists website. That form schedules a phone meeting with Practice Manager Judith Nicotra to discuss enrollment options. The conversation covers availability, panel openings, and any questions about the practice before you commit.

For specific details about fee structure and what insurance may cover for individual services, contact the practice directly at 202-293-3636.

Yes. DC Internists provides 24/7 physician access by phone and email. After regular office hours, patients can reach the on-call physician at 202-293-3636 or 703-299-2870. You always connect with a team member or physician directly, never a phone tree.

The practice offers same or next-day appointments. Keeping panel sizes small allows each physician to accommodate urgent needs without long waits. If you need to be seen quickly, call the office and a team member will assist you.

The practice runs its own lab and offers diagnostic testing on-site. This allows the team to get results quickly without sending patients elsewhere for routine work. When outside facilities or specialists are needed, the practice coordinates those referrals both within and outside the DC area.

DC Internists treats adults across all stages of life. The clinical team sees patients from adolescence through geriatrics. Dr. Beth Horowitz has a particular interest in adolescents transitioning from pediatric care, and the practice also has deep experience in geriatric medicine.

The four physicians collectively cover a wide range of chronic conditions. Clinical expertise includes cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, thyroid disorders, pulmonary conditions, and pain management. The team also provides women's health care and preventive medicine services throughout adulthood.

The practice provides 24/7 physician access by phone and email for its members. Contact the office directly to ask about video or telehealth appointment availability for your specific needs.

A team member always answers when patients call DC Internists. The practice does not use a phone tree. Requests receive a prompt response, and the team handles referral coordination and scheduling directly and efficiently.

DC Internists has four physicians: Dr. Rosalyn Stewart, Dr. Beth Horowitz, Dr. Gregory Prokopowicz, and Dr. Catherine Okuliar. All four hold board certification in Internal Medicine and bring backgrounds from leading academic medical institutions.
