He was supposed to fill all of the cavities on one side of my daughters mouth but he made an assumption (without confirming with us or our orthodontist) and left one cavity in a tooth that MIGHT be extracted if my daughter chose to get braces at a later date. The problem is we never confirmed that she would be getting braces as she is 20 years old and her teeth are relatively straight. SOOO now, she has to go back, be numbed again, and get the one filling done. Not only is this expensive as we are paying out of pocket, BUT it also costs my daughter time and the physical discomfort of being numbed again. To make this matter absolutely unacceptable, Dr. Bass has not spoken with us about this even though i have asked his staff twice to ask him to call. Perhaps he is so successful that he doesn't need to concern himself with a follow up? But paying hard earned money to a business owned by someone who is too busy to care is not cool. There are PLENTY of skilled dentists in the NRV... and perhaps they will appreciate and respect us enough to communicate well. You've been warned.

I am writing this review in April of 2026…read more If I were looking for a facility for inpatient or outpatient rehab for myself or a relative, based on some of the reviews here, I would definitely not choose Friendship South. However, I am glad I did not read these reviews when I had to make such a decision for myself about two years ago. For one thing, all of the few reviews here were written more than five years ago. While I have no reason to doubt that the writers are giving their best honest accounts of their experiences with Friendship South, a lot can change over such a time span. (Note: Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley, which can lead to some confusion; see my note at the end of this review concerning a possible case of such confusion. As the map shows, this forum concerns specifically Friendship South health and rehab on Starkey Road.) I have been an inpatient at Friendship South twice (most recently during January and February of this year) and an outpatient for three stints -- each lasting several months -- over the past two years. I am currently undergoing outpatient therapy for recovery from a back operation. Over the past twenty years, several of my friends and relatives -- including my mother -- have had to spend time in rehab facilities in the Roanoke Valley, so I've seen the good, the not so good and the indifferent (I had to move my mother once). My one exposure to Friendship South was about four years ago when I visited a friend in his 90s who was an inpatient recovering from some procedure. He was in such good humor and spoke so positively about the facility and how he was being cared for that when --- a couple of years later --- I had to decide where I wanted to be sent to recover from a torn ligament in my hip, I didn't hesitate to choose Friendship South. Now, everyone's experience is unique, and mine is as an almost-eighty-year-old man in pretty good health. I have not needed long-term care for a chronic condition or for physical and/or mental decline. I also know that every medical facility is short-staffed, mainly because there is just a shortage of medical professionals at every level. I can say that, almost without exception, every contact or interaction I've had with Friendship South staff -- medical, financial, management, whatever -- has been positive. I've always been treated with courtesy and respect. Has everything I've asked for or every situation I think needs to be addressed been accomplished as quickly as I'd like? Of course not. But I know there are patients whose needs are greater and more urgent than mine. Some need almost around-the-clock attention. My experience with outpatient therapy has been overwhelmingly positive. Turnover is low. I'm still being helped by the same team of therapists who helped me two years ago. They like where they work. They are experienced and competent with a contagious positive attitude. I have come to consider them friends. And most important, what they do and have me do works! Concerning another review: not a criticism, but a clarification. Michelle P. says, "They cannot even light the fireplaces during Christmas for the permanent residents to enjoy." My understanding from conversations with staff at Friendship South is that it has no actual permanent residents; it is a skilled nursing facility where people go for temporary rehab and therapy. Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley; some are residential nursing homes. Perhaps your experience was with one of the other facilities. Yelp has the heading of this page as just "Friendship," which could contribute to some confusion. To assure myself that I was reviewing Friendship South specifically, I consulted the map on the page.

Looks can be deceiving, its a shameful place. Nurses are rude and roll eyes if you ask a question…read more The residents had thier lights on for 2 hours straight needing help. I felt sorry for anyone being in this terrible place. They cannot even light the fireplaces during Christmas for the permanent residents to enjoy. Money in the pockets of the CEO's is all I can think of. Stay clear of this place, because they let my dads foot get infected again because they did not follow doctors orders...we moved him to another rehab center. Looks can be deceiving.

From the first meeting to the last phone call, they have poured tenderness, care, and prayer over our family, and every decision that's been made. They've responded to every phone call promptly, and answered every question without judgement. They even called just to check on me; to offer a shoulder when one was needed. I heartily recommend this company to anyone seeking hospice care. It doesn't matter if your loved one gets cranky, obstinate, repetitive.. whatever.. they will be treated with the utmost tenderness at every turn. You can trust these people with those dearest to you.

There has also been little to no explanation of what is going on, even when asked. We have been given very vague answers. They were a little bit quicker to communicate with us in the beginning when wanting to set up testing AKA get our money. Still has yet to provide an explanation of test results after multiple messages asking (all appears to be fine from what we see on the portal - guess since they can't get more appointments and money we no longer matter). Current doc does not appear to have reviewed past medical records and took them into account when recommending a bone marrow biopsy. Disappointed that the nurse was congratulating the doctor for performing 2 biopsies in one day. Beginning to feel like my husband was put through unneeded testing to meet some twisted quota. Would not recommend them, but unfortunately not too many options in the area. See less Shared post
