I would give 5 stars but I'm so fed up with the following that I'm only giving 3 stars in hopes my plea gets listened to. The building elevators continue to be awful. I have been coming to 1635 GM Dr. ever since it opened in the mid 1990s and the elevators have been terrible for all 3 decades. One of the two elevators is often out of service - ridiculously frequently. Additionally, the elevators are really slow-moving, further sapping efficiency. As such, when an elevator - yet again - goes on the blink, eliminating 50% of elevator capacity (when they really should have originally built 3 or more elevators), it's guaranteed that patients will be chronically late. For themselves, their staff and their patients, I urge APC and other buikding tenants to unify and demand the owner/management company do MUCH better than they have to date by replacing the terrible-from-the-start-but-getting-even-worse elevators. Bite the bullet with patients having to take alternate elevators for a week or so for the swap out, but replace the dysfunctional elevators now.

I needed a new…read morepractice to get a physical at and these guys took me with a 1.5week wait to see the PA (the wait for the real doctors was almost 4 months..ouch! Note to self, schedule in advance!) I arrived a few minutes after my first appointment because I was in the wrong building (it's 3833, not 3033..oops). The front desk ladies were SUPER nice (which blew me away, normally doctor office front desk people are awful, or at least cold) and took my printed insurance card with no issue. They were having problems with their scanner so the forms I sent ahead of time weren't in the system, but no biggie, they gave me a new set and I filled them out fairly quickly (for once didn't need to fill out the huge insurance part, woo!). All in all, great front desk experience. They explained the ID card they gave me and how their portal system works too. Sweet I saw one of the PAs for a physical and she was super nice and really explanative of what she was recommending for me to treat allergies and what normal blood tests she was recommending. I had a couple of questions for her and she was good at taking her time explaining her answers. I like doctors that do that versus just telling you something and moving on..it allows me to process things and use the information to make my own decisions as well. She also let me know that she'd follow up with me if any of my bloodwork came back abnormal. I thought she was great, but I tend to prefer PAs/Nurse Practitioners regardless..same credentials, just better human skills I find. My normal blood work was drawn right in the room, which definitely beat the normal routine of returning to the waiting room and signing up and waiting all over again. The check out was the only thing where there was a slight hang up. They gave me the appointment details (WIN! I like having this stuff for my own records) and a copy of prescriptions requested. I asked the doctor for prescriptions for OTC drugs so that I could use my HSA (you can use HSA to pay for some OTCs, but you have to have a written prescription). I guess she just wrote an electronic script and when I asked the check out desk folks for a written one, they tried to dismiss me and tell me that they couldn't take care of it. I explained that the doctor was okay with writing the scripts, but they have to be in paper and with a signature for me to submit to HSA for reimbursement. The lady said she had never heard about that, but I insisted (don't want to get whacked $15 for an over-the-phone Rx fill). She finally went and talked to the PA and she happily wrote out the scripts for me. Overall, I had a really pleasant experience. I was nervous based on the reviews here, but they seem to be a bit more admin-y. I just want a doctor's office that is warm and easy to schedule with and can see me when I have the sniffles. This seems to be it for now.

I have been a loyal patient at Inova for years seeing Dr. Rao, but after my recent experience, I…read morewill never return to any of their locations. I called trying to get an appointment with my primary care physician, but the nurse on the phone told me my doctor wasn't available that day, but offered to schedule me with a Nurse Practitioner at another location instead. What she deliberately left out was that this other location would bill the visit as urgent/emergency care, turning what should have been a standard $30 copay into a surprise $200+ bill. If they had been honest and transparent about the massive cost difference, I would have waited a day or two to see my regular doctor. Instead, they took advantage of my vulnerability and pain to quietly route me into an overpriced visit without my informed consent. When I reached out to billing and customer support to explain the lack of disclosure, they refused to help or take accountability. It is heartbreaking and deeply infuriating to realize that a healthcare provider you trusted for years views its patients as an ATM rather than people needing care. Beware of their deceptive scheduling tactics. They do not care about your well-being--only what they can extract from your wallet when you are at your most vulnerable. I am officially taking my care elsewhere.

And in 2024/2025 the practice is emphasizing cancellation fees seemingly no matter what (what if there are road closures or your child gets sick within 24 hours of your appointment) and early arrival regardless of online check in or it's considered a cancellation. So far they haven't been too late, but they have been late now and then and that could be for a number of reasons. The point is that things come up for both doctors and patients, and some of that warrants flexibility, which their policy administration doesn't reflect. There's a chance for the group to set themselves apart from others and they're missing it. Not surprising for the current culture, but even more important because of it.

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.

It looks like my review was removed. Thanks, Yelp, for bothering to notify me. Regardless, I am…read moreresubmitting a more professional review as I let my temper get the best of me. Key points: I had a negative experience that began in the waiting room. I don't have an issue with waiting over an hour to be seen, especially if the doctor is supposed to be worth seeing, but to listen to snoring dogs, ones that are hidden behind a partition, is a combination of comical and unnerving. I cannot comment on the sanitary part without unwittingly giving false information. I can tell you that a book I picked up on their coffee table to kill time was sticky on the outside, which maybe was a sign to leave. My husband accompanied me to this appointment. He could not sit in the chairs for an average length of time due to the combination of three major back surgeries and discomfort of the waiting room seats. Be prepared for a long wait, which is why I bring up the waiting room seats. It may or may not cause discomfort. When we were finally seen, I explained my condition to the doctor. While I appreciate the appointment was not rushed, it was not productive, either. This doctor, for whatever reason, tends to be argumentative, does not listen, is dismissive, and, IMHO, has to be right. Even when presented with information that challenges her opinion or reveals it as false. Here are a few of the things that I was told that turned out to be the opposite of what she said (I called CVS pharmacy several times to verify the information): -You cannot get certain prescriptions filled if you have had a similar prescription filled before thirty days is up. Actually, you can. At a different dosage. -You cannot get certain prescriptions filled if another prescription contains the same type of medication before thirty days is up. Totally false because they are considered two different medications. -The pharmacy will accept returns on prescription medications. No, they absolutely will not dispose of medication for you nor will they accept a return. This is illegal and breaking the law. Some pharmacies have disposal bins for you to get rid of medications, but they do NOT accept it by hand, nor give you a receipt, nor update your profile to reflect that medication was turned in by you. Blatantly false piece of information. Dr Hunt only agreed to give me a prescription if I did the above and if my electronic file reflected that I followed her instructions. When I called and let her know that her information was simply not true, she flat out told me I was wrong and that she had 'turned in medication to this particular CVS many times'. How was it possible to do something when the other party tells you they do not things that way? She gave me an impossible task to do. I have a hard time believing that a Vanderbilt and Harvard educated physician could be so wrong about such simple protocol, and too stubborn to listen or even follow up with the pharmacy to verify what the patient says is true. Opinion: Doctor is either willfully obtuse or incompetent. The only positive is Susan, the knowledgeable and compassionate office assistant, who I feel should have the title of Dr in that office.

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've been a patient of Dr. Walsh's for five years now. I appreciate his focus on preventative…read moremedicine, and his excellent bedside manner. I don't have particularly complicated medical problems, but when I do bring a concern he resolves it without provoking unnecessary anxiety. He's also referred me to a couple excellent specialists, both of whom spoke very highly of him as a primary care physician. Only point for improvement (and this has nothing to do with Dr. Walsh himself, and everything to do with VHC's scheduling staff) would be a little more flexibility with scheduling annual wellness exams. It's easy to get a 15-minute appointment for a concern that arises during the year, but the 30-minute annual wellness exam has to be scheduled a year in advance. If you cancel your wellness exam for any reason, then you can't get another one until a year after the date on which you cancel your original appointment. That's completely okay, and that's why I make extra efforts to keep my appointments--I figure a cancellation on my end is my fault. But if the doctor has to cancel for any reason (and there are lots of good reasons that he might have to cancel), then the scheduling team kicks you to the back of the line, more than a year from the date on which they cancel your appointment. This happened to me recently, and caused me to miss the annual wellness screening I had scheduled for January 2026. The first available make-up appointment was November 2026. Dr. Walsh is a great doctor and totally worth the wait, and since I have only minor medical issues that I can monitor on my own I'm just going to use blood tests at CVS in the interim. And again, this is a criticism of the admin team and not Dr. Walsh.
