I am being charged for a sick visit as well as an annual physical because during my appointment I…read moretalked with the doctor about things that were causing some issues. Silly me, when he asked how I was doing, I answered honestly and sought help from my Dr. Last I knew, that was part of what a physical was. When I spoke with the office manager, Lisa, she was rude and would only says "Sorry that's how you feel". No genuine apology, empathy or willingness to work with me on the amount due (that should not even be due in the first place). She told me that is just the way it is. Funny how that is not they way it is in other doctor offices. This is borderline insurance fraud, charging for two appointments in one day when only one actually occurred. While the Dr. does have good bedside manner, he will apparently charge you everything he possible can in the process. Avoid this doctor at all costs unless you enjoy paying for appointments you do not have.

I have had an almost 10 year relationship with Ruth Peevey, and truly believed that this doctor was…read moreinterested in providing care while creating a meaningful relationship. The past 2 years have been extremely difficult to navigate through, and with having a huge and heartbreaking loss this year, I relied on the care of my team of providers, including Ruth. Due to ongoing issues with other variables regarding my health, an appointment was missed and the office decided to discharge me as a patient. After contacting and providing an explanation and requesting a rectification, Ruth Peevey and her office have decided to treat me with coldness and have turned their back on someone in need. I would highly not recommend visiting this doctor or any of its affiliates because it's clear that the care and relationships are fictitious and deceiving. I've never felt such disappointment and disregarded with any other provider until Ruth Peevey and her office.

I just had a colonoscopy done a few weeks ago by Dr Farhad Sahebjam from Gastroenterology…read moreConsultants of Southwest Virginia, which my primary physician recommended I have done as a preventive measure since I'm older than 45 and have never had one done before. With all the myths going around about having a colonoscopy done, I was naturally a little nervous, just like many others probably are. But here at this Center everyone was so friendly and professional that by explaining the procedure and providing me with the knowledge of the advantages of having one done, rather than trying to avoid it, I looked forward to having one done. And Dr. Sahebjam was so kind and caring that he put me at ease the moment I first met him and provided me with the knowledge to understand the procedure and the benefits of it. If any polyps were found they could be removed, providing hope that everything would be alright. My insurance covered the payment for the whole procedure except.the copayment for seeing a specialist and the medications needed to prepare for it, which my CVS pharmacist helped me pay less for these by using a special program they had in which I write about in my CVS Pharmacy review. All the step of the way I was kept informed that it was covered and I wouldn't have to pay a cent. Naturally after reading the negative reviews I was worried but now I know better than to pay attention to them. The Center kept in touch continously with me via phone calls, emails, and text to make sure I didn't miss an appointment and in case I had any questions on the preparation procedure. I had an assigned person to keep in touch in case I had a question on the preparation for the procedure. The colonoscopy was performed at the Lewis Gale Medical Center in Salem, Virginia by Dr Sahebjam. I did have to drink a lot of water after I drank a medication mixed with water, but this made me thirsty enough that I easily drank the extra couple of glasses of water with no problem at all. And being without eating didn't seem to bother me much as I thought it would. A good friend of mine drove me to the Hospital on the morning of the procedure and waited for me there until it was finished. There I was treated very well and interviewed by several people, including hospital staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr Sahebjam. As soon as they brought me to the procedure room after I changed into hospital clothing, they put the anesthesia into my vein and an oxygen mask and immediately fell asleep that didn't feel a thing. I woke up to the call of my doctor who explained that everything had gone well and showed me the pictures. Since I didn't have any polyps and the results were normal he recommended that I didn't have to have another one done until 10 years. I was given the exit papers including copies of the pictures they took by a nurse, got dressed, and taken in a wheelchair to my friend's car, who drove me home. I week after I had a follow-up visit to the Center where a nurse explain to me how the procedure had gone and saw that I had totally recovered from it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to have a colonoscopy done, as well as Dr Sahebjam and his staff.

He wouldn't let me talk long enough to even tell him my symptoms or what prior tests I'd had. He launched instead into a bizarre physical exam--I was there for a neurogenic cough, and he examined my feet in detail but didn't listen to me cough before pronouncing that he didn't think I had a neurogenic cough and therefore wouldn't treat me for it. He wouldn't answer any questions. The real fun came at checkout. I didn't know until then that he had ordered an MRI for me. Why would you order an MRI for someone who has a chronic cough? I have no idea. He'd also ordered a huge list of bloodwork. I didn't go to the MRI or go get bloodwork. I got a referral to Dr. Cramer, who is much, much, much, more professional and didn't try to make me have an MRI. When I told my therapist about this experience, she said I was far from alone and had had many clients who'd seen him and had similarly awful experiences. And yes, because I have Medicare, I still had to pay through the nose for this quackery.
