I was very disappointed with how this office operates. It felt like the team did not truly care…read moreabout their patients. We came in for a broken ankle, but it was treated as if it were not a serious issue. An MRI was necessary for the next step in treatment, yet the request was not submitted to the insurance in a timely manner. We had to repeatedly follow up and push the office just to get the request sent. In the meantime, we were left waiting in pain without proper support or protection while waiting for the MRI to be scheduled and completed. Even after the MRI was completed and the report was sent to the doctor's office the next day, no one contacted us to schedule a follow-up appointment or begin treatment. Isn't the office supposed to monitor this and follow up with patients to move treatment forward? Overall, this was a very frustrating and upsetting experience.

If you want to meet a doctor who cares more about money than treating patients, try this place. I…read morevisited Dr. Kartalian in June to seek help for my ankle pain. After a simple consultation and X-ray, I was diagnosed with the need for an ankle brace and physical therapy. Due to my busy schedule, I purchased the ankle brace first and wore it for a few days, but my ankle hurt even more than before, and I developed a large blister near my inner ankle bone. After wearing it twice, I had to stop using it. When I called the office to request a return, I was told that returns were not possible for used products. I accepted this and didn't argue further. However, I felt extremely unfair when I received the bill. An ankle brace that can be bought on Amazon for $33 was billed at $300, and despite paying an $80 copay at the office visit, I still had to cover an additional $110. In total, I ended up paying $190 plus the insurance-covered amount. To sum up, I paid $680 in total and ended up with more ankle pain. No matter how capitalistic the society is, a doctor's primary job is to treat patients, not to be a merchant.

BLUF: The feel of this place seems best matched with athletic training & injury recovery more than…read morea clinical rehab setting. You'll probably be working with PTAs rather than DPTs or MPTs yet paying the very high rates set for licensed PTs. So, this is a model made for the benefit of the owners and not clients or patients. It may be efficient for the owners but not cost-efficient or as effective for patrons. For a fairly new facility, equipment already looks really worn & so do the treatment rooms. Highly professional environment is not how I'd describe it. Evaluation wasn't as comprehensive as I'd hoped. They charge for absolutely everything they can to increase your bill so they can charge insurance. And the rates are so high! What the insurance company doesn't pay will leave patrons with a pretty hefty bill. On top of that, never received an actual write-up of the evaluation and never could get a formal home program no matter how many times it was requested. What the heck?!? That felt like they just wanted to keep a person coming back and not practice outside of therapy to improve more quickly. That seems to go against getting off the caseload as quickly as possible for significant improvement and instead encouraging more frequent in-house sessions so you can be billed massively for each one. Kinda counter to any type of ethical therapy practice of any kind. They're not cheap. I'm happy to pay for consistent high quality services if one gets what they pay for. Can't say that's what I got here with any certainty. If one is working only with PTAs, then charges should reflect that lower level of expertise & training. If one is working directly with a licensed PT, charges should appropriately reflect that level of expertise. Length of sessions always fluctuated (always in the direction of shorter sessions) yet billing remained the same for each visit & in some cases charges tacked on for procedures not rendered. That's an example of their inconsistency. Worth the drive? Ummm...So, if you choose Chiron, manage your expectations. For elite athletes (elite as in you can afford the high rates) looking to recover & get your mojo back, then this may be the place for you. Definitely felt like money was a huge incentive here. For patients needing quality & compassionate clinical PT care, I'd suggest finding a practitioner and setting more geared toward providing that type of expertise & level of care.

When someone is recovering and unable to work, adding more unexpected fees for basic paperwork feels completely unfair and insensitive. Patients should be informed about these charges upfront, especially when the forms are directly related to the treatment they provided. It feels like they take advantage of patients at a vulnerable time instead of supporting them through recovery. The medical care may be one thing, but the administrative side and lack of compassion left a very negative impression on me

First, walking into the office the receptionist was very friendly and helpful with filling out the additional paperwork they need that is not on their website. After completing that I waited a few minutes then Dr. Johnson took me back to an exam room where she asked me some additional questions about my initial accident and the issues I have had since then along with any information from my ortho that would be beneficial for treatment. From there she brought me out into the therapy room and did a few test for range of motion, did a nice shoulder massage, some exercises, then ice before concluding our appointment. She also gave me a print out of the exercises for me to do at home until my next appointment. Walking into my first PT appointment i was a little nervous seeing everyone out doing their treatments together since i tend to be a little on the shy side and have social anxiety however, Dr. Johnson kept talking to me and all the other PT's are talking with each other so it is easy to join in the conversation especially with the other patients whom were all friendly as well. This will be my home twice a week for the next 3 to 6 weeks depending if I need surgery or not then maybe a little while longer. I highly recommend not only Dr. Johnson but the other PT's at the Fairfax location as well. I did not see one with a bad attitude or seem like they are just there to collect a paycheck. SCHEDULE ASAP!

Despite the urgency of the situation, Dr. Laino demonstrated incredible empathy and expertise throughout the entire process.

Due to the severity and the urgency of the injury he was able to perform a surgery wouldn't 24 hours after getting a special approval from the facility manager . my finger was stabilized and back on the road to recovery. Dr. Laino's calm and empathetic demeanor helped put me at ease during a stressful time, and I felt confident in his abilities. He took the time to explain the procedure, the steps for aftercare, answered all my questions thoroughly, and asked for a permission before doing anything, something as small as touching my finger and removing a splint. If you're looking for a surgeon who not only excels in his field but genuinely cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Laino. He turned a difficult situation into a manageable one, and I'm grateful for his care.

The anesthesiologist, Dr. Wahlgren was also very kind & helpful; he detailed exactly what to expect in terms of the sedation process and administration of any pharmaceuticals. It really set my mind at ease. Dr. Switaj checked-in with me prior to the surgery, which was over so quickly I didn't even have a chance to worry. Everyone at this facility made an experience that is usually very anxiety-inducing for me, as low-stress as possible.

They were able to fit me in for an appointment the same day, which was so nice because getting an appointment these days at most places are booked a month out. They received my referral from my doctor's office via fax and had access to my x ray scans from my emergency visit to the ER as well. My appointment was with Dr. Goodwin. When I arrived, the receptionist immediately acknowledged me and started having me fill out paperwork for my first time visit. Shortly after, I was taken back by a nice nurse. I was able to speak with Dr. Goodwin and he was so nice, professional, and really listened to my concerns. After my appointment I was advised to receive physical therapy. I sat down with a physical therapist who took the time to book me some appointments and really work with fitting me in given my strict work schedule. It was so refreshing to not feel rushed or blown off because the dates they had available and the hours I worked were opposite. The physical therapist was able to work around my schedule and get me a few starting sessions on file. Overall my first impression of this office was nothing but positive from beginning to end. The staff are welcoming, accommodating, and make you feel comfortable. The facility is clean, inviting, and upmost welcoming. I have my first physical therapy appointment next week and am looking forward to coming back here. Side note: with my insurance, most places that accept my insurance have physical therapists who do not accept my insurance (or if they do it's only 1 therapist who has no openings). Here, if they accept your insurance to see the Doctor, then they accept that same insurance for any physical therapist you see. That was a huge plus for me.
