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.

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:-)

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.

Back when I worked in Reston, my health care plan was only PPO (meaning the company was part of a…read moreplan) which meant that I needed to pick a doctor out of a big book. I knew that I wanted to see a female, and it was more convenient for me to go to a practice that was close to the office, so looking through the list of doctors to choose from I arbitrarily chose Dr. Kendall. That turned out to be a good decision, thankfully. Since Dr. Kendall is part of a practice of 3-4 other doctors, the waiting room is always packed. Once you get in to see Dr. Kendall she will spend time with you to discuss whatever you are in for, whether it be an annual exam or some sort of health concern. She is not a pill pusher. Before I got pregnant, she would do my OB exams as well. She was chosen as one of Washington's top doctors a few years ago either by the Post or the Washingtonian. Even though it is a bit of a trek, I still see her every year.

After being a patient of Medical Associates of Reston for over 8 years, I was recently notified…read morethat the practice was going to turn into a "Concierge Practice". Dr. Gwilym Parry or Dr. Tessa Cholmondeley will charge $1,800 per patient, per year for the privileges associated with the service. Turns out that this is too rich for my bank account. Additionally, not long after the new practice was put into service, one of my prescriptions required a prior authorization. This was a prescription that was written by Dr. C, just a few months before. When I called the front office to see if they would help with the prior authorization, the answer was "Since you're no longer a patient of ours, we won't perform this service for you" So I opted to change primary doctors, and when I went to get my records transferred from Medical Associates, I was told that there was a charge for copying and printing my records and sending them to the new doctor. I chose to have only the last two years of records sent over, and was charged almost $40.

They can't necessarily make us perfect immediately, and sometimes not at all....but we have always felt well cared for. Appropriate treatments have been prescribed, and suitable specialists recommended when needed. We have found the entire staff to be competent, helpful, caring and pleasant. I think peoples expectations are out of line; it hasn't ever occurred to us to "drop in". One makes an appointment to see a doctor. Otherwise, the patients who have appointments would never get in. There are urgent care clinics, or the emergency room if you need to be seen instantly.

I was forced to stop seeing him since he went Concierge and at over $2,000 a year just couldnt afford that, for the privilege of seeing a Dr. It bothered me that the only people that could see the Doctors were those that had the means to afford their fee. It seemed to me it was limiting their care to the wealthy only. Something I just couldn't justify!

What the hell guy.... why are you being such a jerk for no real reason. If you do not like your job then leave. I have left a doctor that I liked because of the front desk being a problem & I will do it again if this continues.

Avoid for Immigration Exams - Extremely Disappointing and Costly Experience -…read moreI am writing to share my profoundly negative experience with Dr. Anne Rose N. Eapen's office, particularly concerning an immigration medical examination (Form I-693) for my 80-year-old mother. What should have been a straightforward process turned into a bureaucratic nightmare, costing us hundreds of dollars and significant stress. Key Issues: 1. Incorrect Vaccination Assessment & Misleading CDC Inquiry: Despite providing clear vaccination records showing my mother received a Tdap vaccine on September 30, 2022, the office incorrectly marked her Form I-693 as "Applicant does not meet immunization requirement because patient refuse Tdap vaccine." This was false; she did not refuse. For an 80-year-old from Ukraine, it's widely understood that a primary series for Tdap would have been completed in childhood, as routine vaccination programs were established decades ago. Therefore, her Tdap vaccine served as a valid booster, current for 10 years, clearly meeting CDC guidelines for adults. Dr. Eapen's office insisted on a full primary series, misinterpreting the CDC guidance and failing to consider the historical context of vaccination in her country of origin or the challenges of obtaining old records. Dr. Eapen even sent an email to the CDC that appeared to be strategically worded to elicit a response supporting her office's predetermined stance, rather than seeking an objective clarification on my mother's specific situation. 2. Outdated Form Used: Shockingly, the office did not notice that I have provided them with the old version of Form I-693 (dated 03-09-23) instead of the current 01/20/25 edition. This demonstrates a severe lack of attention to crucial details required for immigration processes, and they failed to double-check. 3. Incomplete Sealed Envelope: When we received the sealed envelope for USCIS, it contained only the signed I-693 form. None of the supporting documents (ID, vaccination records, X-ray, blood work) that are standard and necessary for such submissions were included. This oversight meant the package was incomplete and likely to be rejected. 4. Financial Burden: I went and seek another civil surgeon. This meant paying the full examination fee again to a new doctor who correctly assessed my mother's Tdap status, immediately noticed the wrong version of the form used and included all required documentation in the sealed envelope. The lack of diligence, misinterpretation of official guidelines, and failure to use correct forms and documentation from Dr. Eapen's office resulted in wasted time, money, and immense frustration. I would strongly advise anyone needing an immigration medical exam to seek services elsewhere to AVOID this office.
