This asshole almost killed me! He denied my IV fluids and pain meds after only 6 hours after a 3.5…read morehr surgery. Then watched me scream in pain for 24 hours and did nothing. I had reported over and over that I could not Swallow, so he also dehydrated the crap out of me, then blamed me for "not yielding". He then IGNORED the hospital's Dietitian who diagnosed me in late-stage Starvation with muscle wasting and SENT ME HOME ALONE unable to eat or drink while eating my own body to survive! When I desperately tried to stop him from discharging me while unsafe, I was booted out of the building by Hospital Security for being anxious! You'd be anxious too if sent home to starve! For over 40 days I reported 20 TIMES that I was starving and begged to be admitted for a feeding tube and fluids, which HE IGNORED! This idiot sat there and forced me to nearly STARVE TO DEATH! He is the most Grossly Negligent and unscrupulous doctors I have ever seen. He lied in my records about how great I was doing when I looked like a corpse. Then had the hospital FALSIFY ALL MY RECORDS to include defaming me and discrediting me to lessen my ability to sue. He is a lying sack of shit who destroyed my life and is probably too clueless to know it. If you want the most negligent, dishonest asshole surgeon on the planet to do your surgery, go to Dr. Silveri! Just don't expect to survive!

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.

I had a horrible experience with Dr. David Miller. He did not listen to anything I had to say about…read moremy hand, arm or shoulder. He focused on my thumbs that I am aware are arthritic, but not the reason I came in to see him. Nor did he suggest the thumbs are in any way connected to the other issues. I left with no recommended course of action to address my swollen right hand that I am unable to use, and a shoulder so painful I cannot sleep. He did tell me to take turmeric come back and see him in 4 to 6 weeks. Hard no on the return visit. I have made an appointment with another hand, arm, shoulder specialist but am suffering through the time wasted with Dr. Miller. I will never recommend him. He also left me waiting for him in the closed exam room for 30 minutes.

She suggested going to Dr. Miller and right away he was able to determine that my son broke his Hammate bone. He gave us the option to give it time to let it heal on it's own (which originally sounded like the best option), but then he stated that it will likely break again given that my son plays multiple sports. He then gave the option to have surgery to remove the broken bone. The surgery was quick and easy. His entire staff was wonderful as they took care of my son and all of his concerns. He was healed in 6 weeks and is back to hitting and working out in preparation for his coming Spring basball season. We're thankful that our son was able to find someone so knowledgable and caring to help us through this.

I've known Melanie Gonzaga for the past 20+ years. She's an amazing soul and a fantastic physical…read moretherapist. I hurt myself during the birth of my first child 19 years ago by tearing muscles in my back and glutes that destabilized my lower spine. I was in excruciating pain. The only therapist who could ever relieve my pain was Melanie. I have been her patient for several other injuries because she's the only one I trust. I love that she's hands on! Currently, I have pain in the left side and back of my left leg, which makes it difficult for me to walk. I'm able to use other therapists with zero charge for my insurance, but I choose Melanie because I'd rather pay some money out-of-pocket than to waste my time with other therapists who are unfortunately not as capable and knowable as Melanie. When I wasn't able to consult Melanie, I visited four therapists, an OMM doctor, and a great chiropractor, but Melanie is the only one who could fix my pain. I cannot say enough about how amazing, professional, knowledgeable, and kind Melanie is. You are in very good and capable hands with her.

No one called with results . I called to obtain results to take to a second opinion three weeks after blood tests were extant. They could not find the results. According to them no blood tests taken.

Guess where we will never return to. Shame on all of them.

Hands-down Dr Kessler is the BEST doctor I have ever been to. And I've had some good ones (and bad…read moreones), but he's fantastic. He very much enjoys engaging with his patients. He is thorough, he's methodical, he's a very nice man, and he helped to solve my problem where a couple of other doctors before had failed. When he's in the room with you, you get the feeling he's only thinking about you and not thinking about how he has to rush out of the room to get to the next patient. (Sound familiar from your other doctors?) That's not him. He takes his time and he's fully engaged. Some people will complain that they wait too long past their scheduled appointment time to be seen. That may absolutely be true, and that is because he is spending all the time he needs to with the previous patient. Do I mind that? Do I get mad at that? Never. Because I know that when he comes to see me, he's going to be giving me his full attention too. I LOVE this guy. If you don't want to wait, make sure you book early in the day with one of his first appointments rather than later in the day. But even then, like I said, you're getting one of this nation's best hematologists to be fully focused on you. I highly recommend him. And a special shout out to his support staff. They have been great helping me get the medication that I need and troubleshooting any issues on my behalf with my insurance company to get my medication approved.

The first time I saw Dr. Kessler, I waited for a full 90 minutes before he saw me. Yes…read more One-and-a-half hours. I gave him a "pass" because stuff happens. Still, I wasn't happy. The next visit, some months later, I had an appointment scheduled for around 1:15. This time I walked out after waiting 3 FULL HOURS!! Can you imagine?!?!? I think I needed a psychiatrist after that to see why I waited so long. I never did see him. The tech took my vitals fairly quickly. About 30-45 minutes after that an intern/student saw me and we chatted briefly. Some time after that Kessler stuck his head in the door and apologized for running late. (This was about 3 p.m.). So I waited another 75 minutes and finally walked out. It's your choice.

After getting the knees replaced, I no longer feel pain in my knees and I am able to go on 8 mile hikes every week. He literally changed my life--took 30 years off my knees.

I believe we have the best orthopedic surgeons in the world in Northern Virginia and I feel very fortunate to have been seen by Dr Akhtar.

The nurse who initially greeted me was dismissive, repeatedly cut me off, and showed no interest in hearing the full details of what was going on with my health. I was then seen by a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor, despite paying to see a physician. The radiology experience was also disappointing. Overall, it was a terrible experience, and I will not return.

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.

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.
