I had the unfortunate experience of having Charles Zelen as a surgeon a few years ago and almost…read morelost my whole left foot. All I had was planters fasciitis but when I came out of surgery he had cut up my tendons and ligaments and sewed my foot back up like that. I spent two years in horrible pain and he had me so jacked up on high doses of hydrocodone it wasn't funny. After nine months of trying to work and walk another foot surgeon saw me trying to walk had me come see him and told me I had a failed surgery. This Dr had to correct the surgery that Zelen had done all the while telling me that he corrects all of Zellen's screw ups . I had to have extensive surgery to shift my heel back over three inches with a screw in my heel and had to have all of my ligaments and tendons repaired. I do not recommend this Dr to anyone who wants to walk properly. I guess he thought a kiss on the cheek every time was going to keep me from telling this horrid experience but take heed. He is less than desirable as a surgeon. That's my experience.

After experiencing a significant shoulder injury, I recently completed five months of physical…read moretherapy with Ortho Virginia at their Blacksburg, VA location. I can say the injury was not only the source of intense pain for me but also taught me to be patient as well as serving up a healthy dose of humility! The therapists that worked with me provided not only the health and physical support I needed but also counselled/advised me with long term exercises that will assist me for the years to come. I regained 80% of mobility and most of my strength back in my dominant shoulder/arm when the initial assessment was hopeful for a 50% return in mobility. I will forever be grateful for the therapists who helped me recover and am now able to lead a life with very few limitations! My experience with Ortho Virginia was very positive.

I visited first because of persistent back-pain from my bad deadlifting form. Then subsequently over the years for various minor aches and injuries I've accumulated. He and his office are very efficient with your time (no one wants to spend too long at the doctor's office) but you never feel rushed. I also like how Dr. Belluzzo's goal has always been to get me treated in a way where I no longer need regular chiropractic treatment - maybe just a check-in and maintenance every couple of months. His goal isn't just to treat you - it's to get you as well as you can be! I really like my experience here.

I just had a colonoscopy done a few weeks ago by Dr Farhad Sahebjam from Gastroenterology…read moreConsultants of Southwest Virginia, which my primary physician recommended I have done as a preventive measure since I'm older than 45 and have never had one done before. With all the myths going around about having a colonoscopy done, I was naturally a little nervous, just like many others probably are. But here at this Center everyone was so friendly and professional that by explaining the procedure and providing me with the knowledge of the advantages of having one done, rather than trying to avoid it, I looked forward to having one done. And Dr. Sahebjam was so kind and caring that he put me at ease the moment I first met him and provided me with the knowledge to understand the procedure and the benefits of it. If any polyps were found they could be removed, providing hope that everything would be alright. My insurance covered the payment for the whole procedure except.the copayment for seeing a specialist and the medications needed to prepare for it, which my CVS pharmacist helped me pay less for these by using a special program they had in which I write about in my CVS Pharmacy review. All the step of the way I was kept informed that it was covered and I wouldn't have to pay a cent. Naturally after reading the negative reviews I was worried but now I know better than to pay attention to them. The Center kept in touch continously with me via phone calls, emails, and text to make sure I didn't miss an appointment and in case I had any questions on the preparation procedure. I had an assigned person to keep in touch in case I had a question on the preparation for the procedure. The colonoscopy was performed at the Lewis Gale Medical Center in Salem, Virginia by Dr Sahebjam. I did have to drink a lot of water after I drank a medication mixed with water, but this made me thirsty enough that I easily drank the extra couple of glasses of water with no problem at all. And being without eating didn't seem to bother me much as I thought it would. A good friend of mine drove me to the Hospital on the morning of the procedure and waited for me there until it was finished. There I was treated very well and interviewed by several people, including hospital staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr Sahebjam. As soon as they brought me to the procedure room after I changed into hospital clothing, they put the anesthesia into my vein and an oxygen mask and immediately fell asleep that didn't feel a thing. I woke up to the call of my doctor who explained that everything had gone well and showed me the pictures. Since I didn't have any polyps and the results were normal he recommended that I didn't have to have another one done until 10 years. I was given the exit papers including copies of the pictures they took by a nurse, got dressed, and taken in a wheelchair to my friend's car, who drove me home. I week after I had a follow-up visit to the Center where a nurse explain to me how the procedure had gone and saw that I had totally recovered from it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to have a colonoscopy done, as well as Dr Sahebjam and his staff.
