In fall of 2023 I enrolled in the Lifetime Internal Medicine after my long time Physician had…read moreretired. I've been extremely impressed with the care I've received from both the doctors and their staff. In their Herndon location, they even have onsite ability to conduct standard serum testing. This streamlining for me is coupled with the extremely generous amount of time that doctors spend during appointments. I feel that the concierge practice model has provided care far exceeding what my old local medical practice had become after losing a few key physicians through retirement. I'm not sure if they are accepting new patients, but if Lifetime Internal Medicine is, I highly advise trying this 'small' team concierge solution as a return to times when medicine was practiced by Doctors instead of Doctors applying a one-size-fits-all template strategy for the codified roll-out of big-med:-)

Dr. Ira Marathe is outstanding! She is highly experienced, compassionate, accessible, and…read moreresponsive. I joined Dr. Marathe's practice after experiencing long waits to see my primary care physician in a large corporate practice and was forced to use my local Urgent Care for everyday health needs. I can't tell you what a relief it is to have found Dr. Marathe and a practice that puts patients first!

I had a mixed experience with this practice. The physician herself was attentive and spent time…read morediscussing preventive health, wellness, and screening recommendations during my annual physical. However, I later received an unexpected separate office visit charge in addition to the preventive exam billing. My concern was not the care itself, but the lack of transparency regarding billing. During the wellness visit, the provider briefly reviewed outside lab results I had brought with me, and I was later billed for a separate office visit associated with that discussion. I was not informed during the appointment that this could result in an additional charge. After reviewing my visit documentation, I also felt portions of the note did not fully reflect my understanding of the visit, particularly regarding the extent of evaluation performed beyond the wellness exam. After raising concerns and providing supporting documentation, the office acknowledged overlap between the preventive visit and additional billing and indicated the matter would be reviewed. However, I did not receive a final follow-up or resolution regarding the coding review or reimbursement request. I would encourage the practice to improve communication around preventive visit billing and provide more consistent follow-up during billing disputes.

THIS OFFICE SUCKS. They are terrible. I was in severe pain and the dr. gave me a trial medication…read moreand i ran out early. His nurse said they would figure something out. After waiting days for the nurse to call, I finally got the call and she told me to JUST GO TO THE ER. The ER contacted a dr. on call who told the ER to write me a script for just one day, as they would see me the next day. Then the next day they told me they could not see me and it was a miscommunication in the office! Mind you, the whole time their was bad communication and the nurse was never timely, and the Dr. never called me once! Then they finally refered me to a pain management clinic the one good thing they did. However, I still had an appointment with them the following week. After I did not show up, bc i thought that I was seeing the pain dr. only from then on, the nurse called me and said, 'well maybe sinc you didnt show up we won't authorize the referall for the pain clinic for your insurance.' This was a threat, and it dealt directly with my health. Do not go here, Warning.

Dr. David Leonard of Family Practice of Fairfax has been my physician for about 15 years now. He…read moreis a wonderful physician; I could not recommend him more highly! I moved to the DC area in 1994 and it took a good deal of trial, error and sleuthing to find a good primary care physician. Oh boy. And patience, as Dr. Leonard is so beloved by his patients, he does not always have availability. He has been the recipient of the Washingtonian Magazines "Best Physicians of the Washington DC Area" for several years. Nowadays, it is really hard to find a physician who can, and will, take time with a patient. (I don't blame the physicians, its the situation for the rare independent practice). But Dr. Leonard DOES. It is apparent that he loves interacting with his patients, loves medicine, puts the patient first. Another thing: Dr. Leonard has consistently given me great recommendations when I needed to visit a specialist. Dr. Leonard's office, from an administrative perspective, has had its ups and downs over the years. But the caliber of his care is such that I always waded through. But this is the reality of the private practice business model--ITS STRESSED RIGHT NOW. But I have to say that Family Practice is extremely efficient now that it has moved to a blend of concierge with open private practice partners. I could not recommend Dr. Leonard more highly.

Dr Shor's dedicated, thorough, brilliant, up-to-date, compassionate, possesses both impressive decades of experience in treatment and research along with the finest skill set of ANY MD I have ever worked with .... EVERYTHING anyone would hope for in a physician but hardly ever finds. Frankly - without my health, I enjoy nothing. Therefore I don't mind paying for the care I need and deserve.

Dr. Shor is, without the slightest doubt, the finest doctor that I have ever encountered. I'm a…read morecynical fellow who's hard to impress, and there are a few other good doctors out there. But nobody, not even the good ones, can touch the level of care that Shor provides. He is off-the-charts smart, and he's dedicated to highly individualized care. He is open-minded but conservative, and his instincts are to be relied on without hesitation. He is also an exceptionally kind and decent man. When my daughter was quite ill and running low on options, Shor stepped in and saved the day. Since then, he's provided her with first-rate care as her general practitioner. Don't really know how to put it without sounding over-the-top and silly, but please take my word: He is simply the best there is.

He did not return the call nor follow up. It's now January. The appearance is that he's managed by Privia - x number of patients per hour/day/week/month. Referrals from his office are of no consequence - so off to the emergency room! I needed a boil lanced, and he referred me to another doctor down the hall whose availability was one week out! I went back to the ER & was home in two hours. His office calls with lab results. However, it's back to the Internet for interpretation. My cardiologist had to call his office several times for information that was not posted to my records. He has a good personality - but not a practice.

Dr. Chudha (or Chuds as I refer to him, unbeknown to him as) is my primary care physician. If…read moreyou're wondering how to pronounce his name, no need, his receptionist says it when you call to make an appointment. Appointments aren't too hard to come by. If ever I have an "emergency" they can squeeze me in within a day or two, although I might have to wait awhile once I get there. As for regular appointments the doctor is usually running a bit behind, I won't lie, but I like him so much I don't mind waiting. In fact I'm not the only one who likes him, my whole family does. My mom, dad, 3 brothers, 2 sister in laws, best friend, and I all go to Dr. Chudha. It's quite amusing actually because sometimes we bump into each other in the waiting room. He's very patient, thorough, can be funny, and makes you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend him.

Also, a few years ago Dr. Eisenbaum diagnosed my mom's best friend with thyroid cancer during a routine physical. She then went to a top thyroid cancer specialist at Johns Hopkins who said that he would not have caught the cancer because there were little to no visible symptoms. It ended up being Anaplastic Thyroid cancer, which is the most rare and serious type, with horrible survival rates. But because it was caught so early thanks to Dr. Eisenbaum, it was successfully removed and my mom's friend is doing well.

When asked how long the lab results take to come back, the doctor stated, oh, only a few days, I'm just soo busy. To then call, and someone in the office says the doctor is very behind. Then why take new patients? I Called the office and asked how much longer before the doctor was planning to call me about the results, answer? Later this week. Call finally came in today and it wasn't even the doctor! No options, no request for a second visit to discuss. Just straight to the medicine. No thanks. These things are scary for people and to just have disregard because they're too busy? There are plenty of better doctors and practices. If attention to detail from a medical professional is what you are looking for, go elsewhere.
