YOU ARE SEEN ON TIME! I have only been going for a few months, but my last doctor's office (I will…read morenot mention names) never. ever. kept. an. appointment. I would come in 15 minutes early and sit there for upwards of 45 minutes before going to a room and then sit in the room for another 30 minutes. Here - they must be scheduling wizards because on the three visits I have had, I was checked in, sat for about a minute (ok, maybe 5... maybe) and was then seen by the assistant and then within minutes the physician. An appointment that would have taken my close to two hours previously was like 20 minutes. I LOVE THAT. Not only that, everyone, from the front receptionist to Dr. Sobhani was courteous, attentive and helpful. Top-notch medical care, efficiently... isn't that what we all want?

I feel truly blessed to have found a doctor who leads with such humanity. His staff is just as wonderful--especially Lily, who is always kind, respectful, and incredibly supportive, both in person and over the phone. I've already referred Dr. Mazhari to my family, and he is now their trusted doctor too. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for genuine, caring, and exceptional care.

THIS IS NOT CONCIERGE SERVICE…read more Dr. Mathur blew me off when I returned from overseas after 2 weeks in hospital. I was in a London hospital for about 2 weeks. During this 2 weeks I sent doctor Mathur emails to keep her updated so, I could be treated immediately when I returned. So, Dr,. Mathur took off January 29 and is never in the office on Mondays and works only a half a day on Fridays. I limped home and arrived in the United States on January 28, 2026, and On January 29, 2026, Dr. Mathur informed me that she taking the day off on January 30. Yes, she really did. After 2 weeks of emails she tells me the day before I needed to see her, that she was taking the day off. For the second time during my short concierge period, she referred me to another doctor. Unprofessional and lack of concern for my well-being. I canceled my agreement with the office.

This is a Direct Primary Care practice, in which you pay a monthly fee for unlimited primary care…read more And even though I have excellent medical coverage, the expense is well worth it. In addition to 30-minute appointments, you get 24-hour access to your physician and, for an extra fee, house calls. Dr. Dappen and Dr. Bansal are both intelligent, caring, empathetic and skilled. In addition, because you see a physician, not an NP, a lot of stuff that would normally be referred out to specialists can be handled in-house. And both doctors are excellent sources of information for medically complex patients, like my spouse. Office staff is wonderful, and I just cannot say enough good things about this practice.

You truly won't find a more thorough, intelligent, compassionate, or caring PCP anywhere in Northern Virginia. He has complete knowledge of, and will discuss with you at length, any current research and/or studies re your particular medical issue. He's very funny, too, which is welcome icing on the cake! :D Additionally, he's available via email. I caretake my mom at home, and there have been many times I've had to email Dr. Long about her condition(s). He always responds in a timely manner, and, sometimes, late at night. What doctor does that in 2016? Do not hesitate to see Dr. Long...especially if you're smart and like to take an active role in your healthcare. It's like having your nicest, smartest, most humble, and most caring college professor as your primary care physician. :) Oh - and LOVE his staff, too. Everyone is warm and friendly...you'll become family at Novamed. :)

The husband-wife doctors are lovely, lovely people but the front desk not so much. I received no…read moreresponse from the following sent on February 27, 2025, so after much research, we joined the practice of Dr. Elizabeth Weaver in Herndon. Outstanding front desk staff. Dear Dr. Mir and Dr. Zahir, Dr. Mir, thank you for the time yesterday to discuss x's Vitamin D levels, and a few front office concerns. I totally get that there is a demanding job to be done for so many patients, but I wanted to share my experiences shown in the attached of phone calls diverted to text and DAYS to respond where often I'd have to choose between calling again or texting again ... or just moving on with my life to figure my question out for myself, managing two littles, a household, work, teaching, volunteering, etc. I was so sick in September and am deeply grateful for Dr. Zahir's immediate diagnosis of pneumonia, but I had a follow-on concern regarding a prolonged roller-coaster fever that wouldn't break for several days. It was FRUSTRATING to call, get diverted to text then have the texts ignored for days. It was FRUSTRATING to not be able to have a simple question answered - should my daughter and I get our bloodwork taken first before having a follow-up regarding our Vitamin D levels? If yes, could someone submit bloodwork orders? Again, no one picked up the phone, my text was misunderstood, and it took far too much time for me to chase down an answer to this simple question. It was FRUSTRATING that our follow-up appointments were canceled. It was FRUSTRATING that it took so much time to find an alternate dates/times. It is FRUSTRATING to receive four texts in a week to confirm/check-in for any appointment. It was FRUSTRATING to pull my daughter out of class only to have the receptionist tell us not to come in because the appointment was scheduled as virtual. I had planned to be in person because I wanted to have her BP checked after she recently experienced super low BP from a serious flu. It was FRUSTRATING to have her later in our conversation say, "Well, you can come in if you'd like." Because the appointments were now pushed back to 3:15 and 3:30, I would have been late to pick up my son at his school just down the street from your office as I had originally planned. It was FRUSTRATING to receive a demand call ten minutes before our follow-up appointment on February 27, shaking me down for payment after the FIRST AND ONLY bill was emailed on February 11 that, if not paid, we could not keep the appointment with you. It was FRUSTRATING that she didn't explain upfront: x amount is for x service on x date for x person. She whizzed through the balance due without explaining these details until I finally said, "Hold on. Why haven't I received a bill until now for appointments in September and October?" to which the response was, "We emailed you a bill on February 11." It was FRUSTRATING that I have concerns about my own health but didn't have time (or demeanor) to have a focused conversation with you yesterday. Hopefully I'll find time soon to go through the process of calling, texting, waiting then needless back and forth to set an appointment. May I respectfully suggest going through patients' calls and texts, observe how patients are treated, and perhaps it will become apparent that simply picking up the phone to talk with patients, not forcing patients to text their concerns, clearly responding to them within a reasonable time frame, and, most of all, have a CARING attitude will make a significant difference. As healers, you and your husband know as Maya Angelou said, Patients "will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel."

Can't speak more highly of my first time here seeing Dr. Zahir!…read more I needed to find a new primary care doctor and called the office after reading great reviews. I was able to get an appointment for a standard physical the very next day! I was delighted that they took me back ON TIME, moved through standard take-in procedures in a timely fashion, and I had a great visit with Dr. Zahir. I can tell already why he makes lists of "the greatest" in the region. Other pluses? Super easy parking and on-site bloodwork! All the staff were also very friendly and professional. I'm already so glad I chose this practice.

Dr. Nsouli is a very kind, caring person, who comes across as someone who knows what he's doing without coming off as arrogant. I've had severe allergies all my life, and Dr. Nsouli is the fourth one I've seen over the past twenty years. He's definitely been one of the top two, mostly because he realized that one reason why I have trouble staying awake (something I thought was completely irrelevant but he asked about it anyway) was because the allergy medication I was currently taking made me sleepy. No other doctor I've seen ever made this connection. When you have to get refills on your allergy serum, you always meet up with a nurse practitioner, not Dr. Nsouli himself. I imagine this is standard protocol, since the good Dr.'s time is valuable and you're not going because of a problem, you just need a refill on meds.

Quick note, this is in regards to Dr. Long only. I have not seen Dr. Sager (although they do share…read morethe same office staff): Think twice before going to this doctor. During the Initial meeting he spent ten minutes minimum telling me how he is never on time and I shouldn't expect any timely responses to calls. He was being so thorough with his negative expectations I had to stop him and ask if he really even wanted me as a patient. The one and only time I was sick when he "was my doctor" I tried 6 times to get through to his office with no success, they never answer the phone and do not have an answering service. For a routine physical they made me book 6 months is advance, then the day I showed up they told me they don't take my insurance anymore and he COULDN'T SEE ME. They then said the only way he could see me is to pay out of pocket but I WASN'T ALLOWED TO SUBMIT TO MY INSURANCE (um, what about out of network reimbursement??). I was even considering paying since I had waited 6 months, but then they wouldn't even tell me how much it would cost!!!!!! The doctor did follow up to apologize, but too little too late. I have now had an 8 month relationship with a doctor who obviously does not care about my needs at all. Worst doctor's office experience ever!

I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Dr. Geoffrey Stewart Long and his staff. To anyone…read morereading this, I'd advise you not to waste your time with Dr. Long: he's quite unprofessional, he's condescending, his bedside manner is AWFUL, he's pushy, is passive-aggressive if he doesn't like you, he doesn't respect patient agency with regards to one's own medical decisions, and at least one of his nurses (Annie) lacks any semblance of professionalism and good bedside manner. In short, you won't be treated with the slightest bit of dignity. With regards to Dr. Long himself, he was incredibly unprofessional and rude. He made it clear that our political views did not align and became borderline hostile when I told him that I did not want the vaccine (I was there for a digestive issue & check-up). He accused me of being "one of those anti-COVID people" because I didn't want the vaccine, when I told him that "we're all anti-COVID", he became snippy, short, and condescending with me. He proceeded to be incredibly patronizing and talked down to me about a number of issues, including incorrectly lecturing me on the mechanism of action of a digestive supplement that I told him I was taking, mere moments after telling me that he had never even heard of it! I know the difference between an osmotic laxative and an irritant, thank you very much. I get the feeling that the doctor was displeased at my responses to his quasi-political interrogation and decided to be a jerk about it after he constantly pressured me to take the vaccine. When I declined, he instantly became passive-aggressive and rude and began trying to lecture me to exact some kind of petty revenge. Quite childish behavior, the likes of which I'd never previously experienced from a medical professional. As for his nurse, Annie, was the first person I saw, and made several off-color comments about height & weight. The first thing she asked me was "why [I] looked so frightened?" (from behind my mask - excuse me, but you don't know me) and was generally rambling on and on about nonsense and blabbering on about things as if she were sitting at her kitchen table and running off her litany of complaints about men to one of her girlfriends. What's more, I don't know about you, but nurses accusing you of fudging your height because I told her I was less than a quarter an inch taller than her measurement, stereotyping you ("Men lie about their height!" - verbatim quote from the nurse), and telling you to smile is not my idea of good bedside manner. Nurse Annie, however, seems to think that all of the above is a great idea and apparently thinks it's endearing to mouth off to people that she's never seen before. An awful patient experience from a miserable office. I'd steer clear of this doctor entirely, he's not worth his salt.
