I have been using Selma Medical in Winchester VA as my primary care provider since 2020. I am very…read morehappy with the doctors and nurses. The ability to do lab work on site makes visits a lot easier. I have always been able to get an appointment when needed. The doctors are also very responsive when I send messages via their portal. I recently switch to their cardiology service. They offer doctors, stress test and echo-cardiogram services all on site. I met with the cardiologist Dr Saraiya on two occasions. He was prompt, personable and thorough. I recommend Selma Medical and Dr. Dr Saraiya.

Dr Ott…read more I want to publicly thank Dr. Ott at Selma Medical Center for the exceptional care and advocacy she recently provided me during a very serious medical situation. I have suffered from blood clots in my legs and lungs for more than 10 years. A few weeks ago, I went to the ER and was diagnosed again with blood clots and placed on blood thinners. During my follow-up appointment, Dr. Ott became very concerned about my condition and instructed me to return to Winchester Medical Center to be admitted for surgical treatment. Unfortunately, after spending nearly five hours in the ER, I was seen briefly by the ER physician, who never examined my leg and discharged me home. Dr. Ott did not accept that outcome. She spent hours personally investigating what had happened, reviewing records, identifying multiple errors in the ER doctor's report, and tirelessly advocating on my behalf until I was finally admitted to the hospital for the surgery I needed. What impressed me most was that she did all of this while continuing to manage a full day of patients. I later learned that the delays this caused in her schedule led to complaints from others, yet she never stopped fighting for my care and safety. Dr. Ott's compassion, professionalism, persistence, and willingness to advocate for her patient may very well have saved me from a much more serious outcome. In today's healthcare world, physicians like her are rare and deserve to be recognized. I will never forget the kindness and dedication she showed me. Thank you, Dr. Ott.

After being a patient for 19 years and having to reschedule an appointment, they said we were no…read morelonger patients and we couldn't make a new appointment because they weren't accepting new patients. Urgent care does 99% better than this pcp.

Just by reading the last reviews I can tell that I , Monica True, am not the only one ! I WAS until…read morenow her patient , but by the last incident at her office when I called with a persistent bronchitis that has been plaguing me for over 5 weeks , the earlier appointment they had for me was June 21st! This is the kind of return that you get at this office : a no return at all. Then when you finally talk outraged with her Dakota puppy nurse and get to be finally seen 4 days after , Doctor Byrd prescribes you an inhaler that is nowhere to be found and bought. I call the office and try to get an alternative prescription , but there is no one at the office on Fridays that can get you an alternative prescription ! Today is Thursday! No one has called me, not Dr. Byrd, not Dakota puppy , no staff member, no pharmacy! Fortunately I was able to schedule a videochat with our insurance doctor, who without have ever seen me, knew my history , the drugs I was given in the past 5 weeks and an alternative prescription for the inhaler Dr Byrd prescribed me! This won't end here! I will report this office to the justice and to my insurance! This place need to be SHUT DOWN! If you are reading this, do yourself a favor , go anywhere else BUT here! You won't find here any form of healthcare! You will find an incompetent staff, an o overweight doctor on drugs just like the ones she loves to push on her patients!

I am overweight and have a herniated disc. I cannot stand or walk without extreme sharp pain…read morerunning down my leg, because it is pressing on a nerve. The doctor asked me "Have you ever heard of BMI?" and then told me that my BMI was too high for surgery. He referred me to PT and the "pain management clinic" that they are affiliated with somehow to receive a cortisone shot. He did not offer any medication for the intense nerve pain. I went to my family doctor in tears from the pain several days later, and she prescribed nerve pain meds that have helped me a little. The cortisone shot did not work and after trying to get some kind of help--ANY HELP--with the pain, the Brain and Spine Center cancelled my follow up and referred me back to the pain clinic, dumping me as a patient because my weight makes me "not a surgical candidate." The pain clinic set up an appointment weeks away and seems completely uninterested in the fact that, for the past 5 weeks, I have been unable to walk or stand without pain and can't sleep or function normally. This has been a nightmare experience and this doctor's office has not helped, but made it worse. I ended up driving to Arlington to see a neurosurgeon who has many awards and recognition and who did not mention my weight when discussing my options (which include surgery). I do not consider surgery to remove part of a disc that is pressing on a nerve - when the patient cannot stand or walk normally without intense pain - as ELECTIVE. (see photo) I don't recommend these people AT ALL.

I've been to several specialists for my back issues. I have degenerative disc disease and currently…read morehave 8 bulging and degenerating discs. I literally couldn't stand or walk without a cane and I'm 19 years old. When the doctor came in during both appointments, he came in assuming I wasn't in pain because of my age. At my second appointment he even completely forgot all of my information and basically started asking me questions from scratch again. He then called me a liar for saying I had trouble finding somewhere to do PT that took my insurance. The support staff is extremely rude as well and seem to act like they're better than you. By far the worst experience I've had with a doctor or doctors office. I wouldn't recommend this place to ANYONE.
