Persistently Non-communicative Office Support When Trying to Coordinate Care…read more On one hand, the doctors at INOVA Medical Group Sports Medicine are great - the challenge is getting the office support to respond in order to receive the care needed. We contacted them to get my wife's gel shots for her knee, which we have been doing since late 2023. Seems like every time is the first time they've done this. This year we contacted them in April to order the shots and never received a call back. Called again in May... nothing. Called again in June, and they finally ordered the shots but with two issues: it was a different prescription than my wife has had before that cost over 3x as much ($1466.99 vs $368.92) and because they didn't get it filled til July, the cost was 100% on us, since we were now in a new deductible year for our insurance (begins 1 July). When my wife tried to get help from the nurse manager, my wife got blamed for this dilemma and then via mychart messaging said she would no longer engage on this issue, since I reached out to INOVA Patient Relations for their assistance - who have also not returned any of my calls. Additionally, I messaged my wife's doctor directly via mychart and have not received any communication there as well. I've spoken with initial office staff who logged our concerns on 19, 24, and 26 August - promised each time I'd receive a call back; but none have occurred. Very disappointing to be stonewalled this way considering the great medical care we've both received from the doctors in this practice. 27 Aug UPDATE: After writing the above on 26 August, sent this to my doctor and let them know I'd be posting this on the 27th if I hadn't heard anything back from them by noon that day. Saw a mychart post that they called and left a VM for my wife on her mobile that morning. I've previously explained to them that my wife has no cell access during their operating hours, and have repeatedly given them my number instead since I'm retired and available all throughout the day. Called that person back in the morning and once in the afternoon and sent the info to my wife who called and had to leave a VM as well, but neither of us ever received a call back, today (27th). Called their main number and was connected to one of the persons who attempted to help me previously. She apologized and said that she was messaging with the office manager and that it had been elevated. She confirmed my number and said I'd receive a call from one of the same two people who were supposed to have called me on the 24th. I asked if they'd call me today, and she said they'd call when they got out of their meeting; told them I'd be patiently waiting. No one called. Feels like this office staff is giving us the silent treatment, waiting us out... hoping we'll just go away. 28 Aug UPDATE: It's after 11am and no call. Reached out to their practice manager (again) and left her a VM. Received no calls again today.

First off, from the moment I called to make the appointment I was blown away, The girl that helped us was above and beyond friendly. She wanted to make sure I was seeing the right doc for the injury, regardless of the referral, and she said how wonderful Dr. MacArthur was & he was perfect for this type of injury. The office is brand new and very sleek and modern. Again the customer service was amazing. The girl behind the reception counter was friendly & efficient and the nurse was very kind & incredibly helpful. Dr. MacArthur was great! He was gentle and down to earth and my son was instantly at ease with him. He also was thorough in his examine & really took his time to explain the diagnosis. Very impressive practice & can't recommend them enough!!!

I've seen maybe 15 chiropractors in my life for various back and neck ailments. Half of them were no good. The other half were good and brought the ongoing relief that I needed. Dr. Piokowski is in the top of that group of excellent chiropractors. He's patient, takes extra time to explain what he is going to do, and manipulates you with only the right amount of force to adjust you. Also, he is a great guy and anyone who brings his dog to work will put you at ease right away. As an example of his focus on you, during one visit I thought I was done and headed to the exit. But something didn't feel quite right in my neck - I think it stiffened up again before I made it out the door. He immediately called me right back into the room and made the extra adjustment and asked me to wait five minutes to see if my neck was going to stiffen again. Truly focused on your health. And I don't even write that many Yelp reviews, but I wanted to be sure that you know that he is good, very reasonably priced for those of us who have limited chiropractic insurance coverage or pay cash, and you will get the cracks and relief that you need to get back to your normal. An excellent practitioner.

During the consultation, the doctor kept repeating that he had 35 years of experience. Those are the telltale signs this doctor did not have any substance and qualified professional knowledge. I went to see Dr. Young Yi for eye floater and they use paper and pen to perform a peripheral vision test, which was truly shoddy, unreliable, and unscientific. Next, they resorted to scare tactics, saying that I'll go blind if I don't get treatment. On top of that, the doctor shamelessly claimed that no doctor except him could treat my problem. I told him that I did not want him to do any treatment for me and then he offered 50% of his acupuncture sessions, which I rejected. My advice is that don't go near this doctor.

Dr Wagner is a very skilled, honest, and humorous practitioner. I've spent 20+ years working in…read moresurgery. 8 years specializing in spine surgery and defects of the spine. I'll admit, after being involved in thousands of spine operations, the tables turned when I became the patient. Connie, the tech helping during my procedure and running the X-ray was amazing as well, I was lucky enough to have her in my procedure both times. If you go as a patient to have an injection, request her. Very professional and down to earth. Eases whatever nerves you may have about the injection. Dr Wagner is very up front. Tells you his honest opinion. Tells you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. First injection didn't work, which he warned me of statistically beforehand. Second injection is next week. Said he will try twice and no more. He's not trying to add to his bank account by doing countless injections when statistically the chances of them working get drastically lower after #2. Calms my nerves with his great sense of humor. I'd HIGHLY recommend him to friends and my peers in the surgical community. It's a little weird for me personally being under the needle rather than holding it. Great experience though.

I saw Dr. Wagner because my DO thought I might have a torn labrum in my hip, as well as chronic…read moretendonitis in my shoulder (I know, I know, I'm a mess). Dr. Wagner appears to be the authority for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, which might help with the tendonitis, and was recommended for prolotherapy of the hip. As an aside, if you're looking to do RPR, make sure you don't have Aetna, as they are the only insurance that doesn't cover this procedure. My DO (who I've reviewed here) refers his patients to Dr. Wagner for prolotherapy of the hip because he does it under fluoroscopy (a continuous X-ray), which is important because the hip joint is such a deep joint you don't want to go in there blind. Dr. Wagner seems like a nice guy, and very knowledgeable in his fields. After the first visit he ordered an MRI with contrast. At the second visit he checked out the MRI and it turns out that I don't have a torn labrum so he was unable to help me, and by the time the second visit came around I had my tendonitis under control. However, his demeanor and his apparent abilities gets him four stars in my book, although it should be noted that I have not had that much interaction with him. One thing that should be known about him is that when the diagnosis deals with something that falls outside his expertise he gives very conservative advice. For example, if one were to have femur-acetabular impingement he would advice no running, rowing, cycling, or any weight lifting that puts additional load onto the hip, even if it doesn't cause pain. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing, playing it safe with issues he's unfamiliar with is very reasonable. I merely mention this because I feel like it should be worth noting.

It wasn't just the injury; it was inflammation, nerve, a lifetime of problems due to my flat foot, and I waited months after the injury. It's rare to find a doctor that makes me feel "heard". I'm so grateful! It's a year later and I just completed a 30 mile weeklong walking challenge. It took me a while to find Dr. Niktash. Luckily, if you're reading this, you've found her too!

Speaking of staircase, if you have disabilities with climbing steps, this place might not be for you. I met with Lilly today and she informed me the cost of doing business starts at $60 for half an hour and $80 for one hour. The first room on the left is set up for Swedish, Deep Tissue, Thai and Ashiatsu massage (Originating from the Japanese word "ashi" (foot) and "atsu" (pressure). I heard the sounds of water being turned on and one lady getting ready to shower. Another lady sounded like she had just finished showering and is getting her day started. Lilly was dressed in a pink skirt an her wet hair was combed back. She had a pleasant smile on her face as she greeted me warmly. Not a bad way to start the day off. The inside of the establishment was dark, but not like some of the places I saw in Seattle Washington. I was lead to a room on the right around the corner from the showers. The room looked comfortable, but I wasn't ready to pay $80 for a hour massage at the time. Especially when a $65 an hour massage was about 15 minutes away. I declined to get a massage at the time and Ms. Lilly did not take this personally. I will be sure to try them out at a later date. I will be thrilled to write about the massage experience.
