She was very warm and friendly, looks at you when you're talking to her, smiles, answered all my questions, and did NOT make me feel rushed at all to get to the next patient. The health form to fill out is one page, very simple and hassle free. Despite the short information gathering process, you should have plenty of time to discuss any issues with her and get prompt and knowledgeable answers. After this first visit, I give her my recommendation, at least for a routine checkup.

"After two really horrific, runaround and disrespectful experiences in communicating the need for a follow up visit on 7/2 re: lungs being weaker after to a previous 6/27 visit. After being denied that visit until 7/5 I communicated a need for longer steroid (previous one ran out) and a prescription for unexpired albuterol treatments, I'd like a hard copy of all my medical records as I'm choosing to switch medical care to a doctor that employs people who also care about patients. After the visit with my doctor on 6/27 and talking to her on the phone on 7/2 re: the two prescriptions needing to be called in, on BOTH occasions the CVS on Van Dorn didn't receive 2 of the 4 medicines after the in person office visit on 6/27 and didn't receive 1 of the 3 medicines prescribed after taking to the doctor on the phone 7/2. On 6/27 they called and get the latter two filled for me contacting the doctor. As of 7/5, the CVS still doesn't have the symbicort daily inhaler that Dr. Cusicanqui told me she'd be calling in. When following up after calling the office, I was told that CVS should have told me it wasn't covered and a different one was. He claimed to have no idea nor did he volunteer to reach out to my doctor. To clarify, I called the CVS while on the phone with the office manager and he hung up on me as I tried to get them both on the line. Shortly after CVS called with me on the line and the same office manager relayed my doctor called in another inhaler without my permission or explaining the difference to me. The CVS pharmacist relayed they are not the same as the symbicort is to open up the lungs while the other is only a steroid. I have serious concerns as to why I was lied to by the office staff person 7/5 and why BOTH on 7/2 and 7/5 I was told that I need to wait to hear back from the doctor for 48 hrs after still being sick from a prior visit. I'm still bewildered by This uncharacteristic treatment from this office but, concerned enough to find a new doctor where the office is helpful, honest and compliant."

Within seconds after meeting Rohina Ahmed, I was uncomfortable with having her as my care provider…read more I became more uncomfortable as the exam proceeded. By the end of the appointment I made sure I would not deal with her again. Let me explain. I am 78 years old. I felt a lump in my right armpit a couple of months ago. I then phoned the personal physician I had for many years before moving. He asked if the lump was painful. It wasn't. He said I needed to see my current health care provider immediately. For starters, I would need blood work and a diagnostic mammogram. I then called my current health care provider, Arlington Medical Associates, to make an appointment. After explaining the symptoms to the office manager, I was scheduled to see Rohina Ahmed, a Nurse Practitioner. The office manager put a note on my records, "Lump in Armpit." Rohina Ahmed entered the exam room, apologizing for being late. Apparently she hadn't noticed the note on my file. "You're here for a follow-up visit. Right?" "Mm - no I have a lump in my right armpit." Rohina then started to rapidly go through my records, at the same time asking if cancer ran in my family. It did. Of course, it was in my records, but she clearly hadn't read my records until that very moment. I then expected her to ask if I had any symptoms like night sweats, fatigue, etc. She didn't. Instead she began going through my chart and mentioned that maybe I needed a thyroid test. She then noted that I hadn't had a colonoscopy in 10 years. At this point I decided to cut to the chase. I said I had previously spoken with a physician. He said I needed 2 things immediately: blood work and a diagnostic mammogram. Rohina asked me to wait a moment. She went in to consult with a physician in the medical practice. When she returned, she said we could proceed with a Routine Mammogram, and a Thyroid Test. I immediately walked into Dr. Vidwan's office, uninvited, and explained the situation. Dr. Vidwans edited Rohina's proposed directive. The thyroid test was scratched. The "routine mammogram screening" was changed to "a diagnostic mammogram." Dr. Vidwans then ordered my blood to be drawn immediately at the office so it could be sent in that day for testing by a lab. In short, my experience with Rohina Ahmed was that she came late. She hadn't a clue why I had made the appointment. She hadn't done her homework by reviewing my records. And she ordered tests that were not specifically relevant to my condition.

I spent over 10k and absolutely no change. I'm upset as I think they generalize many knee issues and def way overcharge with the braces, nutrition, and other things they add onto the package. I've spoken to other prp dr's and chiro and they all agreed it's add ins that aren't needed. I also recently had an MRI and the orthopedist was shocked they dont require an mri before starting people on this stem cell stuff. Over the past Year the office seems to have lost some of its professionalism. After my stem cell shots I was supposed to be in the braces I was required to pay for and be and the office "forgot" to order them and I didn't have them for over a week. I bring this up bc if it was important for me to have the braces and pay for them why weren't they ready. Things like this made me think of how they overcharge for things that are not necessary. Again they are great for ART. i wouldn't go there for seem cell. Do your research!

Extremely disappointed and my trust was betrayed. Upon further investigation I discovered that…read moreActive Family Wellness was not in fact Active Care which was also in Fairfax. I provided my attorney information to the office and was under the impression that they were already in contact but the later find there was no affiliation. My trust was completely lost. I've been going to the correct practice which has a similar name and I've felt 1000% better with only 4 visits after being in terrible pain and trouble walking. last visit to Active Family Wellness I expressed that I was in pain and I mentioned to the office manager that I was in too much pain and I wanted to skip the tense pressure before the adjustment and I was told "You have to do it". which was so painful it brought me to tears and I didn't feel any better. Additional I was made to sign paperwork agreeing to pay a detailed breakdown of the when I have health insurance which I was completely caught of guard by. How can I know what the projected cost be for medical treatment? What ICD coding would be used for long term treatment? I don't appreciate being sold this "fallacy" of care knowing that I wasn't the first patient this happened to. Disappointed.

After reading the reviews for Dr. Purkert on Healthgrades.com, vitals.com, and in various discussion boards related to thyroid cancer, I decided to move forward with him. My wife and I were highly anxious about this situation, but Dr. Purkert's calm and patient demeanor went a long way towards setting us at ease. He rationally and unhurriedly explained everything about the surgery, the disease itself, and went over all questions we had. It's hard to say anything is "great" related to cancer, but really the experience is best described as such. He took all the time we needed, and we never felt rushed. Plus, he has a very calm way about him that was reassuring. As for the surgery, he performed it remarkably at Inova Fairfax Hospital. The man has skill, for sure. He removed the entire thyroid, but was able to save all four parathyroids. In fact, he even removed one parathyroid, checked it for cancer, and re-implanted it successfully. No nerve damage/vocal changes. I am only six months out, and already the scar is shockingly small. I feel it was a wise decision to go with Dr. Purkert. His positive reputation in thyroid surgeries is well-deserved.

After being told by two doctors that Dr Purkert was the go-to guy for parathyroid surgery, I initially met him to discuss my situation and found that Dr Purkert has an excellent patient manner. He is neither condescending nor arrogant, but makes you feel like an old friend. As a result of our initial meeting, I decided to go forward with the surgery with him. I had more concerns about the anaestheology than the procedure itself. The procedure went smoothly and less than a week later, I have experienced less pain and discomfort than expected. Although surgery is never an attractive option, if it becomes necessary then I could recommend Dr Purkert without hesitation. Would use his services again should the need ever arise. As for the Inova part, you can expect all the difficulties associated with an enormous bureaucracy, but somehow they manage to get the job done.
