I had the best general practice visit with Dr. Safia Tasneem that I've had in decades. She had an excellent bedside manner, was genuinely curious about my health history, didn't dismiss my concerns, and took steps toward finding a resolution. Moving forward, I would like Dr. Tasneem to be my primary care physician.

I was a previous patient of Dr. Tasneem, so it was important to continue having her as my doctor. I'm so glad she is still in the area as she is very attentive and easy to talk to about anything going on.

In addition, I would like to say that the medical office was beautifully decorated, clean and patient friendly. High fives to Doctor Tasneem, the receptionist, the nurse and the lab technician! I would highly recommend Doctor Tasneem's medical office to anyone who needs respectful medical care. Thank you! In gratitude, {patient information redacted to protect privacy}

Much better than many appointments in the past. The office people were more friendly this time. I have been with this group many years. In the past I always felt I was an annoyance that just went with the job. Very unfriendly atmosphere.

Dr. Tasneem was knowledgeble and respectful. She listened and explained. I came to LifeBridge only because of her, she was my Primary Care Physician in Columbia Medical Practice and I followed her to LifeBridge. Everyone in the staff (Reception, Nurse, and Doctor) at this LifeBridge location was good and kind. They seem to be easy going and that helps a lot otherwise patients get more stressed. Thank you.

I had been at the same practice for 30 years. I have been a patient of Dr Tasneem for 10 of those years. I followed her from the prior practice because every time I needed her she was there. I trust her. Dr Tasneem is competent and caring.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/16/2025
Dr. Safia was very, very patient. She was not really, I'm not her patient. Dr. Safia is my doctor. I saw her in an emergency situation. So she did very well to the best of my ability with the little information, you know, that was provided to her in such a short time. I was in chronic pain from a pinched nerve and she was able to prescribe me non narcotic medication that would help me to master through my pain. But she was very patient. We joked together. We laughed together. She was explaining how well Dr. Safia was, to me because we love Dr. Safia , but I know Dr. Safia is going to be leaving soon, and she will most likely take Dr. Safia's place.

I was a new patient and I did not experience any major issues during my visit. I plan to continue to seek medical care from this provider.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/3/2025
The office and the staff and the new doctor for me were perfect. The only thing I don't like about this office is that they do not send me my test results in paper format that I have to get on to the computer and I'm an elderly person and that is not something I do easily.

Do not like having to go through life bridge, used to be able to call office direct. Doctor and office staff are great.

Everything was exceptional from the receptionist, wait time, Dr Tasneem and the PA. The only thing that was difficult was calling the office for an appointment. I waited on hold for approximately an hour.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/1/2025
I followed my doctor to this facility and appreciate the service. I would just like to suggest a different medium of checking a patient's blood pressure, like using a blood pressure machine instead of a manual cuff, which sometimes is not accurate. I have never had a blood pressure reading of greater than 100 SBP, and found myself with a reading greater than 130 SBP. Even though I expressed my concern, it was never rechecked.

Dr. Tasneem has been our Family Doctor for several years at Columbia Medical. When she left there and became a part of Potomac Physicians our family decided that we wanted to keep her as our Family Doctor so we left Columbia Medical too. Great seeing Dr. Tas again! Sharna at Reception was nice and very helpful getting us information on the portal and setting up our next appointments. Nurse Taleeza (hope I got that right) was also nice and very thorough. Our first visit at Potomac Physicians was really good. No one seemed rushed and everyone made sure that we were okay.

I followed Dr. Tasneem from her prior practice because she is such a wonderful doctor. All of the staff were helpful, kind, and courteous. I was also very happy that they took my blood pressure manually so the result was much more accurate than from a machine, and recorded my body weight after allowing for clothing weight, also more accurate.

My first visit with Dr. Tasneem was excellent. She was attentive, took the time to listen to my concerns, and offered thoughtful guidance. The office staff I interacted with were also pleasant and professional, contributing to a positive overall experience. However, the interaction with the LabCorp attendant was disappointing. She was neither pleasant nor professional. Due to Dr. Tasneem being new and not yet appearing in the system, she was unable to complete my blood draw. After a 30-minute wait, she informed me that she could not resolve the issue and that no one in the office was willing to assist her. Ultimately, she directed me to another LabCorp location. During this time, she was also playing audio in a foreign language on her phone, which I found to be unprofessional in a healthcare setting.

Timely, professional and knowledgeable. I only wished your examination bed could be lower to accommodate people with physical disability like me who find the step high to climb.
