Completed the online forms, set up a scheduled phone call, received confirmation of time & day of phone call only to be ghosted. Despite an email at 9AM stating that the call would be in 1 hour, I've yet to be contacted. One can only ascertain that the $6K + in membership fees is meaningless to them if they expect potential clients to track them down to give them money. It also makes one wonder if, after forking over 4 figures a year, the difficulty in getting to a physician during non-business hours. Let's face it, if the first impression is this bad, it does not give hope for a positive experience thereafter. Although irritated after having my time wasted, I'm going to put this experience in the win column. Seems like the universe & PartnerMD did me a solid--keeping money in the bank & removing unprofessional & potentially aggravating interactions from my life.

When I had my files transferred from my previous out of state doctor, they claimed the files were never received - yet my previous doctor sent them twice. Finally, I had to coordinate between previous doctor and this office to tell them as the files were being faxed over. Absolutely ridiculous. After the files were finally sent over, I was sent for additional testing by the physician to another local doctor. 3 days ago, this other doctor sent over the testing results and I am being told YET again they have not received the files. I can understand how sure, maybe the first time from my out of state doctor the files got lost or maybe they didn't get sent when they said...but now it's TWO doctors and they've not received files that have been said they were sent. Inept! Dude, I am just trying to get a medically necessarily prescription refilled.

It took us a considerable time to find a practice that we could feel confident in. We found it at Primary Healthcare Associates. Dr. Popovich has been wonderful in taking charge of our health care needs and has referred us to excellent specialists when we required them. We feel connected, cared for, and love being able to access our test results on the My Chart internet site. The staff is wonderful. The nurses and the Physicians Assistant kind and very capable. This is a great place.

    The office is located in a business center with plenty of parking. Inside, the office was…read morecomfortable and clean. The service, however, left more to be desired, especially from medical professionals. My check-in felt methodical and unfriendly. Then, it was lost in translation between the front desk and the medical staff. No one bothered to apologize for the extra 30 minute wait. While I was waiting, I overheard a patient saying she was there, by phone request, to sign a document. After receiving the same methodical, unfriendly service, she was told they couldn't find the document, but IF they found it, they would call her back. After she left, they made negative remarks about how it had been several days since they called and she was 'just now' coming into the office. Then, I heard the same person who was supposed to call when she found the document say she found it, IF the patient calls back. I wanted to yell "BUT YOU SAID YOU'D CALL HER!!" I also overheard several other phone calls regarding patient's issues. On my first visit, I overheard the medical staff chatting negatively, almost gossiping, about patients, too. Anyone heard of HIPAA? Once I was called back, I felt the friendliness and professionalism continued to be lacking. I feel that Dr. Habib did not do a good job of actually listening to me, but instead seemed to only pick out bits and pieces of what I was saying and proceeded to go off on a tangent, to the point that she offered a prescription for an antidepressant which was completely unrelated to my medical issue. We never even discussed my lab results (of which some tests were left off the lab order) which was WHY I WAS THERE, before she suggested I make an appointment with a specialist. I told her on my first visit, I no longer wanted to see a specialist, because they didn't focus on the whole person, i.e., why I made an appointment with Internal Medicine in the first place. I want to figure out how to get ALL the dominos in order, not just one of them. But, per usual, she didn't listen then either. When I mentioned I'd need a medication refill, she told me I'd be okay if I went a little while without meds until I could see the specialist. I felt the lab work and both appointments with this office were a complete waste of my time. IMHO, steer clear of this medical office. The patient is NOT the priority.

    Dr. Lorena Harvey, wife of retired Dr. Kevin Harvey, has always been a very cautious and caring…read moredoctor. Doctors Lorena and Kevin Harvey opened Physicians of Family Medicine over twenty years ago, at their Oxbridge office. I do not know the exact year, but I have been a very satisfied patient for over twenty years. I have been extremely happy with her husband (Dr. Kevin) as my primary care provider for most of those years. When he retired, I was worried about getting another primary care physician and tried his replacement, Dr. Marshall. I was not happy with him and was told I might like Dr. Lorena better. The office staff was correct and I have been very happy with Dr. Lorena Harvey. She has seen me through many rough times and I have a great respect for her. I have a hard time scheduling appointments around my work schedule and they are always willing to work around my schedule to be sure I get the great service I desire and need. She works out of their Cloverhill office located at 13861 Hull Street Road, Midlothian VA. 23112. It is not exactly on Hull Street Road so I do not know how they got this exact address, but it is across from Food Lion and Burger King just off of Hull street next to Outback Steakhouse. Also, a quick note that if she does not have an appointment available when you need one, there are a number of other doctors in the office that may be able to fir you in their schedules, and their Oxbridge office is open on Saturdays for walk-ins, no appointment necessary. Again, I am extremely fortunate to have her as my Primary Care Physician. Steven "Randy" Brooks

She has no sense of doctor-patient cordiality/manners. She's not very friendly at all and seems very detached from and disinterested in her patients. I really did not like the way I was treated. It's hard to verbalize, but you'll know exactly what I mean if you choose to see her. That's exactly how my experience was--people told me about her and I couldn't understand what they meant, but when I saw her the first time, it all made sense. Her nurses are downright rude to top off her complete lack of emotion or genuineness. I've heard that, despite the negatives I mentioned, she knows her stuff, but she's not what I'm looking for. She's a bit too cold for me.

I have several chronic medical conditions and have been going to Patient First which isn't the best for someone like me. I was looking for someone who could give me all my prescriptions etc. Dr. Cella spent about an hour with me - she talked to me, took a full history, and I got a physical with lots of extra bloodwork because she wanted to test my vitamin d levels as well as screen me for celiac disease based on what my symptoms are. She was really nice and I walked out with 2 prescriptions for my insomnia and my anxiety disorder, as well as 2 referrals for an allergist and a dermatologist. Her office even made the appt for me for the dermatologist before I left. I'm excited to find a good PCP. The office is located behind JW hospital in the medical office park.
