Been a patient seen Feb 2024. You will a different physician or Nurse practitioner each time…read more There is one who I seen twice ( the latest this Saturday ) who does not listen and check her personal cellphone messages during both visits. She is there to collect a paycheck and nothing else. I have been blessed to have a wonderful healthcare team outside of Belite....and would not choose her to treat me for a broken fingernail. She is condescending ....and speaks as if she didn't hear or understood what I said. She doesn't care to talk about options and rushes you out while you are mid sentence. This was enough for me to question going back ever again. A waste of $160 dollars.... Edit: In their site, it says 135.00 for a follow up visit. I was charged 160.00 for less than 15 mins visit on Saturday 9/7 with a nurse practitioner who only took my blood pressure and flipped through notes. Nothing of value. The other two Nurse practitioner I have seen are very attentive and LISTEN. They have shown they care and in vested in my weight loss journey and talk about options. I wish I pick which Nurse Practitioner I could book an appointment with....Belite does not offer that.

I've been a patient Belite over the years and I've always received exceptional service. Recently I…read moremet with VIDI and I was so impressed with her warm manner and she took so much time with me to explain my particular concerns. I so appreciated her professionalism and warm caring communication. I hope others will appreciate VDI as well because she is a true professional and will listen to you with a keen ear and advise you accordingly.

I am incredibly frustrated with this facility. I visited a year ago, and at the time of my…read moreappointment, I paid my required insurance copay. The staff explicitly confirmed that my insurance was accepted and that everything was covered. Now, an entire year later, I suddenly receive a bill claiming that my insurance didn't cover the visit. It is completely unacceptable to surprise patients with bills a year after the fact--especially when your staff confirms coverage at checkout. This feels incredibly disorganized at best and predatory at worst. Save yourself the financial headache and go somewhere that actually has their billing department figured out. I will not be returning.

Very disappointed with the administrative and customer service experience at NOVA. I recently…read morewaited over 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time to be seen. There was no administrative staff present, and the NP appeared to be doing everything on her own while being triple booked. The entire experience felt extremely disorganized and unprofessional. I have also called multiple times this week to cancel an appointment and left several voicemails with no response. During one call, the representative hung up on me and acted as if they could not understand me, which was very frustrating. In addition, I am dealing with a serious billing error. My insurance was billed under BCBS-VA even though my coverage is through Blue Benefits Massachusetts and must be billed under BCBS-MD. The correct information, including the front and back of my insurance card, was provided at intake. As a result, I received a $200 bill stating the claim was denied due to improper submission. This is now the second administrative issue I have experienced with this practice. Access to healthcare is too important for repeated errors and poor communication. I hope the office corrects the claim and improves its administrative processes moving forward.

I've been going to integrative/holistic medicine practitioners for years. However, I've been unable…read moreto find the right balance of western medicine practices (blood work, hormone awareness, allergy testing) mixed with eastern medicine practices (acupuncture, herbs, supplements). I can now confidently say after a couple months of coming to Nava, they hit all of those targets. I've been doing vitamin shots per my blood work results and have been feeling my natural energy returning. Today, I had my first acupuncture appointment with Julie, the doctor of Chinese medicine. She was so knowledgeable, gentle, and caring in her approach. I left feeling at ease, rested, and understood. I'm also in the midst of a gut health restore program at the clinic and I'm looking forward to seeing how my health continues to improve as I take supplements and probiotics to help my gut permeability issues. I also love that my insurance covers a lot of the medical visits and I can use my membership credits for holistic and self care appointments every month. Very grateful I found this clinic when I did!

NAVA does not operate like a healthcare provider -- it operates like a billing system. I completed…read moremy required blood work and was told my prescription would be sent in. After two weeks of repeated confirmations, I was suddenly told I was "missing labs" -- with no proactive communication and no urgency. I then requested a temporary emergency refill to ensure my health and hormone levels did not drop while they sorted out their internal issue. They refused. No doctor review. No patient-care escalation. No concern for continuity of care. Just a denial. Healthcare, especially hormone and wellness care, is not something you can pause without real physical consequences. A legitimate medical practice understands this. NAVA does not. If you are looking for a clinic that treats you like a person rather than an account number, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. This experience was expensive, stressful, and completely avoidable.
