RIFM has provided quality care for my complex conditions (POTS, MCAS, hyper mobility) and I feel…read moreextremely lucky to be a patient of theirs. I have been dismissed by many doctors who thought my symptoms were just anxiety. After many years and seeing many doctors I was finally diagnosed with POTS. I thought the hard part was over, but I was wrong. Finding a doctor who wants to treat POTS is even harder. Dr. Hartman doesn't shy away from hard. I've seen Dr. Hartman for many years and he is one of the smartest doctors I've ever come across. He listens, understands, and partners with you to come up with solutions to help manage my conditions. He has run tests that most doctors don't that have uncovered causes of some of my symptoms. He is constantly learning new information, thinks outside the box, and shares this knowledge with his patients. Not only have I had such positive experiences with Dr. Hartman, but I have had positive experiences with both of his nurse practitioners Jodi Caddell and Veronica Porterfield. Recently, Ms. Porterfield saw me for an illness and possible tick bite infection and she spent so much time with me and followed up with me when I was having issues and questions, even calling me on her personal time on a Sunday night. Never have I felt more cared for. I have not seen Dr. Jenski but know people who do see him and have just as amazing things to say about him. RIFM is filled with providers who truly care about you and want to help you find solutions to feel your best. Don't hesitate to join this practice - you won't regret it!

Dear Peter R - I regret that your company failed to relay…read moreyour policy to me. The appointment was scheduled during my first phone call to you. You provided no written material for me to review before charging me $100. If you mentioned the fact of the deposit being nonrefundable, it was stated very quietly and in the midst of all the information that was given to me, it was not heard. Yes, it is in writing in the 2 emails sent AFTER you charged my credit card. The appointment was cancelled within hours of reading the email that said "nonrefundable" but a MONTH prior to the actual appointment, thinking that surely when giving a MONTH's notice, there would not be a problem. I will not be rescheduling. This policy is detestable. It seems to be a punishment for even making a single phone call to you.

This review is long and overdue, but it needs to be said so other individuals and couples don't go…read moreto this incompetent practitioner. My wife and I saw this practitioner back in November of 2023. From the initial consultation which she decided to do over video call because she was on vacation in Costa Rica. During the video call, my wife and I could tell that her attention was not with us. She hardly had listened to anything we had to say and kept cutting us off. She seemed like she was in a big rush, and it seemed she didn't want to hear anything we had to say despite paying her $267.00 for a "consultation". Towards the end of the conversation, she just advised us to purchasing several medications costing from $200.00-300.00 along with doing a "special" lab test called Dutch test which cost about $500.00-1,000.00 as well her scheduling another 15 minutes follow up for $100.00 if we had any further questions or concerns. My wife and I left the video appointment more confused than going into it and she didn't make it any easier. With that said, my wife and I decided to give her a second chance with the follow up appointment which was also video call. However, due to a family emergency we were unable to attend, and we gave her sufficient notice that we were unable to attend. Surprisingly, she acknowledged our emergency and replied to me over text that she understood that this is an emergency, and she wouldn't charge me the $75.75 missing appointment fee. After a few days what do I see in my mobile banking a charge from Copesthetic Health for $75.75. Obviously, I filled out a dispute with my bank, and I was upset and assured myself I would do everything possible to get every penny of mine from her, which I did, and she didn't want to she was giving my bank the run around for weeks. I made it very clear to her what she did was messed up over the phone and was loud and clear about it. Not just that, what other reviews have said about her is accurate as well. Her communication lacks, her scheduling is very sporadic, no follow up, and is money hungry and is unknowledgeable in her field. From the beginning it was a hit or miss with her she never replies to text messages, emails, etc. What's the point of putting your personal phone number online if you don't respond? She clearly never prioritizes her patients and don't give me that BS that "you're not my only patient". Perhaps hire an assistant to handle your crap if your to "busy" to yourself? Everyone reading this, PLEASE save yourself the time and trouble of dealing with her, it's NOT worth the stress, time, money. If I could give less than one star I would. I really hope this review will not only make herself a better person, but an honest and professional medical practitioner.

As I read it, I was delighted to find someone that could relate to how I was feeling. I setup my initial appointment right way. During my initial visit, I found Dr Cope to be a kind, center person, who genuinely cares about client and she wants to share her knowledge with her clients. During my first visit, we reviewed my many menopause symptoms (brain fog, depression, lack of focus, hair loss,etc.) and my clinical history. Right away Dr Cope put her knowledge and expertise to work and had a plan of action which consisted of supplements, tinctures and tests. After the first week of treatment, I felt like myself again, I hadn't felt like this in months. I couldn't be more impressed by Dr Cope's bedside matter, expertise and balanced approach to treatment.

So far, I have had two appointments with Tressa Breindel at Inhealth RVA. I have thought about…read moreseeing a functional medicine doctor for a while, after growing increasingly irritated with the lack of thoroughness I've experienced with regular, primary care physicians. I have had hormonal issues since giving birth 2.5 years ago and I am more than ready to connect the dots, so I did some research and found Tressa. They offer a free 15 minute consultation and I instantly knew I wanted to work with her after we talked. It was basically a call for me to give her a brief overview of my health history and what my current concerns were. She was an amazing listener and thought that she could help me, so I booked a full blown appointment with her. The intake appointment was last week and it was an amazing two full hours of her answering all my questions and listening to my full health history + family history. I have never felt like someone was so invested in my health as I did during that virtual call. You cannot even begin to compare this experience to a "regular" appointment at a doctor's office. We talked for about an hour and a half, and then she wrote up a treatment plan and we came back together to discuss the next steps. I am very happy with my treatment plan and cannot wait to see what all of the thorough testing reveals. The only frustrating thing about pursuing naturopathic/integrative medicine is that it is not covered under insurance plans. I am happy to pay out of pocket for this service, however I am going to have to space some of the steps out a bit so that they fit within my budget. I know that once I invest in this initial testing and the time it takes to get to the root cause of my health concerns, I will benefit greatly in the long run. I am so thankful for Tressa and can't wait to see how this journey proceeds.

Dr. Nguyen gets the secret sixth Yelp star from me…read more After my OB-GYN told me that it was unlikely I would be able to have kids naturally due to early adulthood cancer, I went to Dr. Nguyen to see if she could help. Trying to get pregnant is an extremely discouraging and demeaning process but Dr. Nguyen was able to help me get in tune with my body in a way that I never knew how. Even in my darkest moments she was always encouraging and insightful and her sunny outlook kept me going even when I was about to give up. In fact, I had pretty much completely given up when I finally got that positive sign that I had been hoping for. My treatment did not end there, I worked with Dr. Nguyen during my first trimester to make sure my baby was healthy and strong and my body was running like a well-oiled machine. I'm not quite sure if I just got off lucky or if the acupuncture was just really effective because I've been feeling even BETTER than I did before I got pregnant. Except for a few charlie horses here and there I did not suffer from nausea or other typical ailments at all. What I like about about Dr. Nguyen is her balanced approached to alternative medicine and she never seems to recommend treatments that I don't need (although I almost kind of want them because it's so relaxing and zen in there). I feel very safe and comfortable in her hands and have been so glad to have her in my arsenal of self care tools. She recently relocated to a brand new office in Tysons Corner which is super modern, chic and quiet -- perfect for relaxing! You can also book and cancel appointments online which is very convenient. Thank you so much Dr. Nguyen from me and my entire family. I can happily say that this is the most life changing business I have found thanks to Yelp!
