About this Location

Facility Overview

The Suburban Hospital Visitor/Patient Parking facility is a modern, multi-level covered parking garage situated on the medical campus of Suburban Hospital (Johns Hopkins Medicine) at 5504 Greentree Road in Bethesda, Maryland. Designed specifically to handle the flow of hospital visitors, outpatients, surgical center clients, and emergency arrivals, the garage offers a clean, well-lit, and sheltered environment with immediate access to clinical care areas.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a hassle-free visit, keep your ticket with you rather than leaving it inside your vehicle; automated pay-on-foot stations are located inside the main lobby elevators, allowing you to pay before returning to your car. Peak outpatient appointment hours generally occur between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays; arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to your appointment time will ensure ample time to find a spot and reach the clinic. Patients requiring wheelchair assistance or curb-side drop-off should utilize the hospital’s circular drop-off drive before proceeding into the Greentree Road garage entrance.
