My elderly mother-in-law (who we provide full-time care for) is a patient here. We previously went…read moreto the Hinson Farm Road practice for many years and loved it, but started going to the Lorton office when we moved down to that area. The two practices are night and day. I will say this: The Lorton office itself is nice, clean, and modern, and many of the nurses and phlebotomists are wonderful and the ONLY reason this is a 2-star review rather than a 1-star. Because the front desk staff comes off as completely disinterested, it takes forever to get anyone on the phone, and we have had a number of communication issues between the office and our pharmacy with regards to prescription refills. But these are just minor annoyances in the grand scheme of things. What is completely unacceptable is the way the doctor treats patients, and specifically their time. On three separate occasions, we have been called back (or, in the age of COVID, logged on for a virtual appointment) and been kept waiting more than 45 minutes to be seen by Dr. Herrara. The excuse is always the same: Just a generic "He's running behind." Well, to my mind, that's a scheduling issue. But when he does finally grace us with his presence, he does not apologize for or even acknowledge being so extraordinarily late. To add insult to injury, he has been blatantly rude/dismissive of me when I take her in, because he has to speak Spanish to her but English to me. I understand that's a pain, but after being kept waiting so long, the very last thing I expect from him is to receive attitude so that we can effectively communicate with regards to her health needs. It is hard finding good doctors in the area who speak both English and Spanish fluently, but I would still recommend looking elsewhere unless you have 1.5-2 hours to spend in the doctor's office each time you come in.

From the owner: An internal medicine doctor, also called an internist, has extensive training in preventing,…read morediagnosing, and treating diseases. Dr. Posner went a step further after becoming an internist. He went through rigorous continuing education to earn his diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine certification, which is only awarded to internal medicine physicians who continue their education and training while in practice. Generally when you're under the care of an internist, you won't need to see any other types of doctors for routine care. Internal medicine physicians, like Dr. Posner, are highly trained at diagnosing even the most complex of health issues. During your visit, he will gather information about your health, and family medical history and discuss any symptoms you're having, or concerned about. It's typical to order some basic lab work, especially if you're just getting set up as a new patient. He might order additional tests if further clarification with any diagnosis is needed. Once he diagnoses medical issues, if any at all, he'll be the one treating you. Or if you have a chronic health condition, like diabetes or high cholesterol, he will teach you how to manage it and prescribe any medications you need. Your primary care physician is an essential partner in your efforts to stay healthy. Even if you never get sick, you still need to see your PCP once a year, just to have screenings done for chronic conditions that may not show any signs.

I had a really disappointing experience with this office today. I scheduled an appointment through…read morethe Privia app because I am already a patient within the Privia network. The app only allowed me to choose a follow up appointment, this was in response to test results from my primary care provider. If the system wasn't supposed to let me do that, that's an issue on their end, not mine. I drove over 50 minutes to this appointment, only to get a call in the parking lot telling me they didn't know how I was able to schedule and that I shouldn't have made the appointment the way I did. Instead of listening or troubleshooting, the front desk staff kept arguing with me and insisting I booked it wrong even after I explained that their own app allowed it. It was frustrating and honestly felt very dismissive. This was especially disappointing because I was referred here by my primary care provider, so I came in expecting a smooth and professional experience. On top of that, I had been waiting for some time. someone from the office was supposed to call me to schedule in the first place, and no one ever did. When I called myself, I was told I would get a callback...which never happened. At that point, I decided it was better to leave and find another office. The front desk is often a reflection of the professionalism and care within the rest of the practice, and based on this, I didn't feel confident moving forward. A healthcare office should be understanding, solutions oriented and respectful of patients' time, especially when the patient has driven nearly an hour to get there. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I will be finding another provider in the area with better communication and a more patient centered front desk.

1 star -- do not go here…read more This office is a masterclass in incompetence and greed. Appointments are chronically late, repeatedly confirmed, and then canceled anyway. During one visit, a nurse confused me with another patient and attempted to give me a shot I did not need. The only reason it didn't happen is because I stopped her and told her to verify. That is a terrifying level of negligence in a medical office. Patients are told they may only discuss two "problems" per visit -- their word -- and are charged if they dare mention anything else. This practice nickel-and-dimes patients relentlessly: * $25 for work paperwork * $30 for prescription refills * $45 to transfer records * $150 for bringing up a third issue I was double-charged for a visit and then blamed for their billing mistake. You're forced to complete 20+ pages of paperwork ahead of time, only to be made to redo all of it once you arrive. The front desk staff are rude, dismissive, and wildly incompetent. Dr. Waddell does not appear to care about patients at all -- only revenue. Visits are rushed, impersonal, and transactional. In a telemedicine appointment, she was two hours late and didn't even offer a simple apology. I switched providers and immediately saw the difference: respect, accountability, and actual care. This office provides none of that. I would actively warn anyone considering Dr. Waddell to stay far away.
