    I have to give you all a back story before I get into my review:…read more When I lived in Arlington, I came here for regular check ups and such. Until one morning my leg was hurting really bad. I went in for a morning appointment the next day and Dr. Hale told me it is odd that a 25 year old man would have this but he said I had a blood clot. I just got back from Europe and on top of that I just started a new job were I had to drive an hour one way. He said a lot of non-movement can do this but it is rare in young adults. He told me to go to the ER right away. I went practically next door to the ER of the Arlington Memorial (I think) and once I got in the doctor told me that if I would have waited 1 more day, I wouldn't have woken up. I could have been dead. I owe Dr. Hale for telling me to go to the ER at that moment. They were able to have me stay in the hospital for a few days all medicated up and I left a few days later. Now that was 5 years ago. I went back yesterday, because I had a bad pain in my back for picking up my son off the floor. He remembered me from what happened before and he told me that they can run a new test on my blood that can detect if a blood clot can happen again as far as history and what-not. Most doctors probably would not have even mentioned it. Anyway he gave me pain medication for my back and asked me to call him is I don't feel better in a week or so. I forgot to tell you that I live in Valley Ranch, which means I had to drive an hour there and an hour back because of all the accidents on the highway. But, for a doctor to not only save my life ( to a certain extent) but to give me info on another blood test that can help predict if this would happen again is amazing. Its a really small office and the people that work there are super nice. I would like to thank all of them for the continued amazing service. I will be back if any ting else comes up. He is worth the trip even if you don't live in the area. MZ

    I felt I had to leave an honest review after reading all the one-star reviews…read more The front desk staff, MAs, phlebotomist, and all other staff members I've encountered have been nothing but helpful and patient. I used to work in a physician's office, and I have seen how demanding and ridiculous patients can be. Doctors cannot break the rules of medicine or go outside of the insurance restrictions to refill prescriptions, just give a patient what they want, or see patients who are behind in their payments. Dr. Truong (and every single one of her staff) has been kind to me. They are all races and backgrounds and ages, so the discrimination accusation below is unwarranted. I am white. Dr. Truong is Vietnamese. Some of the staff are Hispanic or African American. I have gone to Dr. Truong for only two years, but two African American friends of mine been going to her for years and never had any complaints. It is slanderous to make that accusation. How a patient speaks to staff can get them dismissed from a medical office, and I applaud any physician who stands behind their staff. Since the pandemic, people have become more demanding and just plain awful. Try working a front desk in a medical office for one day and you will be buying flowers for these ladies to compliment them on their skill and patience. Grow up, be kind, and be a patient person.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Sherley Armath since 2019. During the first year of my care, she was…read morekind, attentive, and made me feel valued as a patient. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, I noticed a significant change in my experience. I increasingly felt like I was just another number rather than a person receiving individualized care. Over time, I found many of our interactions to be lacking warmth and compassion. At times, her communication came across as borderline rude, and I perceived an attitude that felt dismissive and superior rather than caring and respectful. I tolerated these experiences for quite some time because I valued the continuity of my medical care. Unfortunately, I have reached a point where I can no longer ignore how these interactions make me feel. A strong patient-provider relationship should include professionalism, empathy, and human connection. In my experience, those qualities have been missing. In addition, I felt that I was charged for various services in a way that was not always clear or expected. For example, if I scheduled an annual physical, I sometimes had to dispute the visit in order to receive the required preventive care, and then make another appointment to address additional concerns. I was also charged for services I understood to be covered by my insurance. As a result, I either paid for vaccines or received them elsewhere. I am deeply disappointed because I believe every patient deserves to be treated with dignity, kindness, and respect. While I appreciate the medical care I have received over the years, the lack of compassion and meaningful human connection has led me to question whether this practice is still the right fit for me.
