I met with Dr Zahalsky as part of his Direct Care patient experience. He has chosen to contract…read morewith SignatureMD for a portion of his primary care practice. For younger patients, he told me that he is still accepting insurance. They way it works for direct care, is that for Medicare patients you pay SignatureMD $1800 per year. Due to the crazy rules of Medicare you can't give him the money. They do. He also will bill your insurance-Medicare and secondary. With the direct care agreement, he will call you and/or text you the very same day. With the money conversation out of the way (isn't it sad that medical care is first about money, then also about care), I think that Dr. Zahalsky does a very good job. FIrst of all, I think he's smart and thinks things through. Second, he genuinely cares. Next, he will make sure that if you were to need to see a high quality specialist, he'll make sure that you obtain an appointment. There is not much more I can ask. The medical care system is broken. Everyone recognizes this. Everybody feels like a insignificant cog in a money system. Doctors and nurses all seem to be burned out. I chose to spend some money so that Dr. Z can afford to spend some time with me-I had a full one hour appointment. I was able to ask each and every one of my questions and have them answered. Paying $1800/yr is not something that everyone can afford. I know that. But if you can pony up the dough, I think it's worth it.

Dr. Zahalsky is nice enough. He does the blood work himself, and after a few days it's easy to…read moreaccess your information on the online portal. The wait wasn't bad to see him. I probably won't go back, because I wasn't a fan of how he handled the fact that I had high bp. He took my bp, noted an absurdly high number, but didn't take the time to check it again later. He ranted about "protein supplements" without any detail on the supplements or even about when I use them, which I rarely was at that point. It's possible that the high blood pressure was due to dining out about 20 times a week--I am on Yelp, after all. He didn't even ask, or let me explain my poor eating habits. I solved the issue myself by watching my sodium intake and eating more fruits and vegetable I won't hold it against him that the two specialists he recommended were not helpful. I should have done my own research.

I discontinued treatment as she did not meet my basic needs and was not able to provide even rudimentary feedback on progress, and various elements of my treatment.

Every patient and doctor is different of course, however I would proceed with the utmost caution and concern for your time, personal wellbeing, energy, and pocketbook.

I went in to have my thyroid checked (a wonderful by-product of my first Afghanistan deployment) and potentially adjust my dosage levels. He listened - somewhat eccentrically - to me describing the situation and then detailed his treatment strategy that he was going to go through. It jived with my internet research on the subject so I went with it. My only complaint was this overweight Persian woman who insisted on yelling into her phone for 30 minutes while we were in the waiting room. The nurses did nothing about it and right when I hit my breaking point and was about to say something did she go back for her appointment. It makes me want to go buy the cell-phone jammer and keep it on me for such occasions. Even if they are illegal. I'll go back - better than what I can say about the VA!

I chose them because they have 2 Physician Assistants (Deane and Tiffany) and as a PA myself, I knew this would be a great, forward thinking, organized practice. Hands down, this is one of the best medical practices I've been to as a patient and seen as a clinician. As canned as I know this sounds, they changed my life. My first appointment was a little frazzled due to a scheduling error and I'll admit, I was concerned. But, after my 2nd visit, I knew I was in good hands. Someone commented the front desk receptionist wasn't pleasant and there are a few (mainly in the back) who seem rather unhappy. Kathy is the main receptionist, is friendly, and great at her job. Deane and Tiffany are the two PAs- They are both incredibly intelligent, friendly, and great clinicians. Very calming and concerned with your care, diagnosis, and devoted to solving your problem. Highly recommend both of them. Dr. Chehrenama is my neurologist & fabulous. When I first met her, I felt she was a little brusque, but after seeing her more, I know that she is just an very intelligent physician whose brain works quickly. She manages to find the tiniest detail that could be the culprit while keeping in mind the big picture. She is very empathetic and wants to solve your problem in the best & quickest way possible. Great, great doc. I have recommended this practice to both friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. They are awesome!

This is a very disappointing review that I'm having to write. We just moved to the area and I was…read morelooking to continue therapy locally. I was recommended and emailed this clinic because they claim to be TRICARE providers. Not only are they not, you cannot find them on the website nor where four representative is able to help me. I even had to work with my PCP who also could not find them in the TRICARE provider directory despite all this happening and email correspondence stating that I would have to wait for insurance to clear because I could not pay for the sessions. They went ahead and had me fill out intake paperwork and assigned me someone to have an intake appointment with. Afterwards I was told that my insurance did not go through and I was being billed. I was not able to get any help from the director or the assistant who stopped emailing me and had not followed up with me. This had been going on since November. I now have resorted to having to find yet another TRICARE clinic. I would not recommend this place based off of customer service because I was not able to get past the intake appointment. The therapist also did not mention this, which makes me concerned that she must not have read any of the paperwork or was communicated with by other members of the team. I was very clear that I needed the insurance to be fully approved before establishing care. They were able to cancel my second appointment, but never even communicated that my insurance had not been authorized in the first intake appointment. They did charge me, and I no longer am even going to be served there. Hidden fees are not something I appreciate.

Dr. Phillips was great, attentive, timely, knowledgeable. Before I left we set up the appointment for the ablations. I gave my insurance and asked when they would have it verified. They said at least a week before the procedure and that they would let me know. They did not. I called three days before, nothing was done, two days before, nothing was done, the day of, nothing was done. I was asked to sign a waiver and pay for the procedure or I would have to reschedule. No explanation for why the insurance was not cleared. They said they would work on it and let me know. It has now been more than 4 weeks since I was supposed to have the procedure and when I call, I get the same guy, Zach, who knows nothing, clearly could care less and simply tells me there is nothing he knows or can do. I then get a call from a third party who can barely speak English telling me she is in the authorization department and the insurance denied the procedure and that I should provide the doctor with the needed documents...what documents?! This is the absolute worst medical experience I have ever had. No one is accountable, nor do they care or are they helpful, not honest or follow through with what they said they would do. I may as well fly back to my doctor out of state where they care, do their job and are kind and caring. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT and the practice should be embarrassed to provide such poor standard of service.
