After temporary therapy, I was told to go through pre-op testing which involved lab testing, an EKG with a cardiologist and review by my primary physician. Once cleared I reported back to Dr. Ghauri who said they would get authorization from the insurance company. I was surprised as I expected to have authorization before the pre-op tests. Two weeks later I called the office as I hadn't heard from them. I was told that the procedure was denied by my insurance company. They said they had left me a voicemail, which I never received. The office should have contacted the insurance company before they required me to go through all the pre-op tests. My time with this practice was a waste.

Dr Marina Protopapas, who has been featured on NBC, was first referred by my chiro Chris Bruno and since then she and her team (fortunately Chris Van Zoeren has been there for 3 years) have been managing my pain levels working with my chiro. She is really busy but takes thee time to explain the procedure to you and/or your family members attending on what /why the procedure is being done. So does Chris. Once in the procedure room, she is ably assisted by Joseph Turay, music is played, I look away from the needle and her calm voice is letting you know what you will be feeling and when. Once over, she makes certain before you leave, you feel stable and will answer any questions (for example I show her exercise machines safe for my back). An amazing Doctor who also relies on Chris's determination on what procedure should be tried. The Office is managed by Andrea who meets, greets patiently with a cheery smile and Ms. Rashna is really helpful to get you checked in, make follow-up appointments and help with following up. I know there are more staff and all are very helpful. I make the trip at least once every month from Ashburn to Fair Oaks but it is well worth the time to have excellent care.

Please follow his advise and you will be back to living your life and being yourself again. Not all conditions and people respond the same way to medications and he works to find the most appropriate healthplan and medications that will work best for you. Dr. Greene is a kind soul and born to be a doctor. In this day and age with much regulations doctors have to monitor and this practice takes that seriously. I wish I had the right insurance or funds to self pay and be able to see him again. He's the best pain management provider I've been treated by. He also has a highly talented and educated staff working with him. I'm no stranger to pain. I was a heptathlete from age 10 to 24 and twenty plus years later have much arthritis throughout my spine knee and shoulders to show for it. I've survived 2 car crashes into my car and a moving truck collision headon into a tree during a bad storm in which I suffered broken teeth and severe soft tissue injuries, sjc joint dislocation and vertebral strains that took over a year to treat and still being treated. I've had about 12 surgeries over the years to include my back and knee. So I understand pain from patient's perspective very well and how it can take over your life. I understand pain because of my Masters degree in biology: molecular science. Dr. Greene knows how what to do to get you back to your goals. I hope you will get to be seen by Dr. Greene. He takes time with each patient and really listens to each patient. Dr. Greene continuously researches to find innovative and the best treatments for his patients. So if there was anything negative, be prepared to wait an hour to two to be seen. It will be well worth it. Hope this review helps you and to your good health.

I am a volunteer for several pain management advocacy groups, as well as a patient myself. I am…read moregrateful for the excellent job this office does. They do not pass out any medication indiscriminately. They do pill counts, drug testing and keep up with current research. The American Medical Association has recently come out in support of pain management at a time when this is a difficult area of medicine to practice. There are many medical conditions that do not respond to alternative pain treatments and sometimes opioid medication becomes necessary for optimal functioning. The current body of research now clearly shows, without any doubt, that pain medication prescription rates and overdose rates have no statistical relationship. None. Zero. Zip. Overdoses resulting in death are almost always a result of illicit opioids like heroin & illegal fentanyl, polysubstance use and occasionally diversion of prescription medication used by someone it was not prescribed to. This is typically a result of poverty, hopelessness, lack of employment opportunities, etc. If we hope to combat overdose rates in our state, we need to start fixing the problem rather than hurting patients in need. I am happy to cite the research for all my claims. I can be reached at rebecca0874@gmail.com It is important to note that over the counter Tylenol kills more people each year than opioids but it's still sold without a prescription. Alcohol & tobacco also kill significant numbers of people and our country largely ignores that. It is important that we support good doctors who are doing their best to help patients with a real medical needs. Comfort and Wellness Center does their job well in a difficult time. We need to protect the sanctity of the doctor patient relationship.

I've only been a patient of the Fairfax location so this review is specifically geared towards…read morethem. I find the front desk personnel to be on point and they treat you like a person, more than the patient more than a number. This is a specific field of medicine which is very dynamic because of course it's dealing with pain and pain is subjective to each individual. It is understandable why someone might leave a negative review because no one likes being in pain. It's a very sensitive balance. At my appointments we have explored options such as acupuncture and injections for carpal tunnel among other treatment options. The two doctors that I've seen I've asked them "Hey have you ever had acupuncture done? Did it help?" and I get an honest answer and that means a lot. I highly recommend this practice because I've dealt with others that don't treat you like your a person. I found the staff to be very sympathetic and eager to assist in responsible pain management. I appreciate the staff and the medical professionals there and I thank them for their service.
