    Let's face it. No one really ever WANTS to have to see a uro/gyn. But if you have to, this is the…read moredoctor to see. I had an initial consult regarding an issue that had been causing me quite a bit of personal stress and anxiety. The physical exam was performed with the utmost respect for the intimacy of the situation. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the exam and was certain it was done with integrity and skill. After the exam was completed I was asked to get dressed and meet in the office to discuss my options. How often this step is overlooked by providers!! There is no situation where it is appropriate to discuss next steps with a doctor while undressed and feeling vulnerable. I was given a variety of surgical options and was told to review, research and return with a decision. There was no pressure to decide on the spot. My questions and concerns were completed addressed and I left feeling as if I chose to pursue a surgical intervention that I was in extremely competent hands. I did choose surgery. I found Dr. VonPechmann's beside demeanor matches his surgical skill. His pre-op interactions were confident and compassionate and I knew that I was in great care. I had some post-op concerns and he was very willing to flex to my needs. I felt like Dr. VonPechman heard my concerns and intervened accordingly. I recommend this doctor without any hesitation.

    After receiving a papillary thyroid cancer diagnosis, the radiologist who performed my biopsy…read morerecommended Dr. Purkert for the surgery. After reading the reviews for Dr. Purkert on Healthgrades.com, vitals.com, and in various discussion boards related to thyroid cancer, I decided to move forward with him. My wife and I were highly anxious about this situation, but Dr. Purkert's calm and patient demeanor went a long way towards setting us at ease. He rationally and unhurriedly explained everything about the surgery, the disease itself, and went over all questions we had. It's hard to say anything is "great" related to cancer, but really the experience is best described as such. He took all the time we needed, and we never felt rushed. Plus, he has a very calm way about him that was reassuring. As for the surgery, he performed it remarkably at Inova Fairfax Hospital. The man has skill, for sure. He removed the entire thyroid, but was able to save all four parathyroids. In fact, he even removed one parathyroid, checked it for cancer, and re-implanted it successfully. No nerve damage/vocal changes. I am only six months out, and already the scar is shockingly small. I feel it was a wise decision to go with Dr. Purkert. His positive reputation in thyroid surgeries is well-deserved.

    Amazing surgeon! Dr. Purkert removed my thyroid expertly and my cancer has not returned. All the…read morenurses and hospital staff concurred that he is the best. Very soothing bedside manner as well. Never seemed rushed or bothered by my slew of questions. Highly recommend.

He told me point blank that it was not his problem . I had severe pain in my temples following the surgery and when I called for help he said And I quote "what ? You have a headache? I don't do headaches " I am a plastic surgeon. The pain was severe and the recovery sheet it said call the office if having severe pain. He couldn't have cares less he pretty much told me to get over it. On several other calls within the next few days . He either didn't know what the problem was or he lied about it. I have the impression that He is not experienced enough about facelifts , I had to get my answers from the internet and I was on my own to figure out what to do about the symptoms I was having. He also surgically tightened my neck after I told him in no uncertain terms that my neck was fine and did not need work. He did it anyway . I found him to be an ego maniac and would not recommend him to my worst enemy. As a matter of fact two of friends cancelled their appt when they learned of my poor treatment .I have been going to CPS for over twenty years I have had four surgeries . I have never had a problem. Quite the contrary I have reccomeded CPS. many many times .I am sorely disapointed that a surgeon like that would be allowed to work there. Otherwise the complete staff was very helpful and kind .

I scheduled my first appt. and met Laramie Practice Coordinator and Dr. Rao and I was impressed for all their knowledge and professionalism. Also the practice was very clean and all the staff very friendly. I left the practice with a plan in place. They never put pressure on me to make a decision instead I was the one who called Laramie who is great, very professional and very responsive with her emails to notify that I was ready for the next step. We set up an appt. for my Pre Op and that day I met with Alexis Lee - Pre Op Nurse, Doctor Rao and Laramie they explained the second part of the plan. Everything was very clear. They gave me all the instructions in writing, my prescriptions and the day of the surgery I was ready for my big change. When I arrived to the OR Mrs. Buffi Abdeen - Recovery Nurse welcomed us gave specific instructions to my husband and she walked me inside where she helped me get changed and explained each step. She is just great and made me feel wonderful I was not having that feeling of anxiety instead We were taking a lot until she introduce Dr. Jeremy the anesthesiologist and who gave me the confort that I needed. I asked him all the questions and he answered each one of them. He made me understand that I was going to be observed and monitored during the entire procedure with the best equipment and it was very important because there was no fear at all. After that I met with Dr. Rao, he talked to me again about the plan in place and then I was transferred to my bed. Jeremy made everything very smooth and easy to me, he is just great. After I woke up from the anesthesia Boffi was there by my side so Thanks again for been there with me all the time. It really means a lot to me. Also was part of my Surgical Team Tyler Chavez Dr Rao's assistant, Diana Altman - OR Nurse Supervisor and Patsy Hallagan OR Nurse. They were great and the following day I received 4 follow up call from them to see how I was doing. I just want to share with all that my Surgery went above my expectations. I am very happy with my results and the entire process and procedure. Thank you so much to everyone and if you are looking for quality service and experience Dr. Rao and his Team should be the first place to visit.

    Worst Doctor and Surgeon I've ever had…read more This was a surgeon I had to consult due to a large tumor on my spleen. He was VERY careless, did not answer questions and makes jokes when I had concerns. The surgery turned out bad for me - I had an open splenectomy (an open splenectomy was not planed, but as the doctor said he didn't know that the tumor was as big as a grapefruit. Strangely and Ultrasound was done right before the surgery and he must have forgotten to look at it...??) After the surgery I thought I was going to pass away - the incision was too big and my lungs had collapsed while I was awake again... but the doctors did not believe me when I could still speak and told them that I could not breathe. Anyways... so the incision was three times as long as supposed to and got infected afterwards, due to some staples/particles that were caught up inside. I didn't know at that time and said that fluid was coming out of the healing cut... he said "That's normal". So I went to Europe a few weeks later for a visit, when my incision opened up at different places one night... I had to go to the ER over there and they found that I had large infections inside the cut... and then they found those particles that were left inside. I came back to the US and confronted the doctor but he said he would not believe it. If I had had all my proof and more health and energy, I would done more about this. But I did not. All I can do now is to share my nightmare experience on yelp. I have been through such a nightmare because of that terrible surgeon... it took me over a year to recover... physically and mind-wise. Don't listen when people tell you he has a great reputation. I had my surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital which I would never recommend either. But that's a different story.

I went to him for bilateral inguinal hernias. I found him to be very personable as he explained the options I had and what he would recommend. He suggested laproscopic surgery as the success rate was just as high as open repair when doing bilateral hernias. He also informed me that he would have a colleague assist him who was extremely well versed in laproscopic hernia repair. I was in and out of the hospital the same day and although uncomfortable for a week or so I quickly recovered and at 4 weeks was up to speed gradually running a few miles at a clip and slowly increasing my weight lifting back to pre-surgery training. It's been about 4 months now and i feel great. Every once in awhile I'll have some funny kind of sensation in my groin - kind of like when you hit your funny bone, but that's about it. I would definitely recommend Dr Saver.

I've been to many ENT clinics over many years, but it's truly rare to find someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring. I've struggled for years with allergies, asthma, a deviated septum, and chronic sinus issues. Dr. Egan performed my surgery, and the results have been amazing. This was my first surgery, and I was honestly surprised by how little pain I experienced afterward. Even my family is more excited and relieved than I am because of how smoothly everything went. what really stood out to me was how kind and compassionate he is - he treats his patients with such warmth, alomost like family. In 39 years, I've never met a doctor like him. I highly recommend Dr. Egan without hesitation. Meeting him and having my surgery done by him has been of the best decisions I've made in 2026.

He's personable, well mannered, and has helped me through my sinus problems. I'm still work in progress but after seeing him for 4 months, I feel confident in his knowledge, skills, and abilities. Who am I to judge his skills since I'm not a doctor but his diagnosis and treatments (including a surgery) have been spot on thus far. I'm starting to feel liberated from my allergies and its symptoms. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Dr. Egan to any of my family or friends!
