Let's start with Nurse Casey. She is super nice and genuinely talks to you like a person and not…read morejust a patient. She asked questions about me being a veteran and really talked to me. It was nice and I really appreciated it. Dr. Cropper is also super nice and sweet. They had to push my appointment back due to an unexpected delivery but they were all really nice about it. Dr. Cropper was really accepting and kind and I'm super excited to continue being a patient at her office! Also, the entire place smells great, nice and clean and very professional. Everything about this place was super nice and I can't wait to go back!

This review is long overdue. I saw Dr. Cropper in December shortly after finding out I was…read morepregnant. My partner came with me to the appointment, as we were both excited and, given our previous pregnancy experiences, had some questions and concerns. During the visit, Dr. Cropper asked only a few brief questions and performed a quick ultrasound simply to confirm the pregnancy. The ultrasound photo we were given was blurry and off-center, but what disappointed us most was the interaction. When my partner brought up concerns based on our prior pregnancies, they were dismissed with brief, cold responses. Throughout the appointment, I also felt that Dr. Cropper barely acknowledged my partner or made us feel comfortable discussing our concerns. When the office later called to schedule a follow-up appointment, I explained that I was still upset about the care I had received and shared my concerns about how the appointment had gone. The front desk staff told me they would call me back to schedule the follow-up. Instead, I received a letter informing me that Dr. Cropper would no longer be seeing me due to "patient-doctor differences." As a newly pregnant woman, this was incredibly disappointing and upsetting. Rather than addressing my concerns or attempting to improve communication, I was dismissed from the practice. I found the way the situation was handled to be unprofessional and disrespectful. Every patient deserves to feel heard, especially during such an important and vulnerable time. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Dr. Cropper.

During our ultrasound, he literally said, "I'll show you real quick," which felt dismissive and took away from what should be a meaningful moment for expecting parents. There was no effort to explain what we were seeing, no reassurance, and we weren't offered any ultrasound printouts of our baby at all. The entire visit felt transactional, like he was trying to get us in and out as fast as possible. He also asked me in front of my partner if I had an std in the past. Granted me and my partner share everything with eachother, the doctor doesn't know our dynamic . Typically, doctors ask these questions in private, either on forms or one on one time, to respect patient privacy and reduce embarrassment or discomfort. Pregnancy is an emotional and important time, and bedside manner matters. Unfortunately, this provider comes across as rushed, dismissive, and lacking compassion. I would not recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, patient-centered prenatal care. Safe to say, we are searching for a new doctor. Also, the front desk girl is very rude. She doesn't greet you at all. She rudely said " name?".. THAT was my greeting. So cold and rude.

Of course I went with her because I felt she needed me for support (and because I'm just as excited about baby) our first experience with the office staff was so pleasant. The front office staff were all super nice and welcoming. The back office staff was just as friendly, and I do not mean fake friendly. They all seemed so genuinely nice and caring. Now onto the Dr himself, what a gem!!! He was the nicest man. He took the time to explain everything to my daughter and made sure she was comfortable. He allowed her to ask questions and never once made us feel rushed. Which of you've ever been rushed through an appointment, you know how rare this is. Hands down I would and have referred many to this office. Being able to trust someone during what should be the happiest day, is important when picking a dr. Due to COVID, we weren't allowed to be at the hospital but I my daughter was in great hands. My grandson was born 6/6 and healthy baby. Mom ended up with a broken pelvis (she's only 5"0') so even this 6lbs bundle of joy broke her. She was very happy with the MD. Please keep this practice up and take care of the office staff! You all are a rare find!! Thank you!

I can feel it in my heart that God put me and my baby on the right hand, and yes Dr. PHUNG saved our lives.

I have peace and peace of mind throughout my pregnancy because the service is beyond excellent. They really care and dedicated to what they are doing. My son's overall health and mine, we owe it to Dr. Phung and Cathy. I thanked God, Dr. PHUNG, and Cathy because I have a healthy baby. God bless Dr. Phung and his staff. To all the mom-to-be, may your path leads you to Dr. Phung's care.

I adored Dr. Oliver and felt that she was an amazing doctor (performed my c/s) and did an amazing job. I'm currently pregnant and haven't delivered yet with Dr. Pham but so far I'm very happy with the care. She's very attentive and carefully listens to me and my concerns. I do notice that this office is not as "hands on" and more "old school" (they don't do ultrasounds unless you ask compared to other friends of mine in different offices who experience the opposite) but she so far has been wonderful!

I only visited a few times and bedside manner was always meh, at best, and usually worse. I figured it was fine for an annual pap exam until I could get around to finding someone else. Then I had an actual serious medical issue come up. No, I didn't find out from her, I found out from the lab results that had been uploaded to the FemCare patient portal. When she finally called me DAYS later, first she said she just received the results. I told her that wasn't true because they were in the FemCare patient portal days prior and that her having the results and her looking at the results are two very different things. Especially with serious health issues. Then she started making excuses including that she's the only doctor left at FemCare because the others all quit and that "patients make doctors feel overworked and burned out" (actual quote from her). I told her she needs to look inside herself and find a sense of humanity. Whatever you do, do not go to Dhaliwal. Even if you think she's good enough for something minor like annual pap smears, you will 100% regret it if anything serious comes up.

Today we walked in for her 6 week postpartum appointment and they had no record that we had scheduled the appointment. She ran into the exam room and quickly, as she was trying to walk out of the door, gave single word answers to the questions my wife was asking. She was dismissive and wanted the appointment over as soon as humanly possible. I've also been trying to get her office to complete some insurance paperwork since March, and they continue to not fill out the paperwork that I've requested - as such, my insurance hasn't paid and a lab company wants nearly $4,000 for a test that should be covered under my plan. As we were leaving, we found out she is retiring TOMORROW and couldn't be bothered to end her patient relationships she spent so much time building with dignity and professionalism. Enjoy your retirement.

He is located in the PVMC building 2nd floor (confusing since it says he's in suite 101). The front staff is friendly and the nurse who helped me, Coral (if I remember correctly), was nice as well. Dr. Elsharkawy introduced himself and made the effort to try to get to know me, which I appreciated as a first time patient with him. He has a very calm and friendly demeanor and made me feel very comfortable throughout the exam, and was able to do a full well woman visit that day (I thought I was only getting a consult meeting as a first time patient). I don't plan on having any more babies, but I'm sure he'd be great if that's what you need. I found out he's actually a family doctor as well, so I can see him as my primary care physician also! I'm so glad I found him and am happy to have him as my new doctor!

This is my third appointment. At my first visit, I waited nearly three hours before being seen. At my second appointment, I waited for over an hour only to be told the appointment had been canceled because the doctor had an emergency. For this third appointment, I was specifically instructed to call ahead to make sure the office wasn't "running behind". I did, and my appointment was pushed back 15 minutes. However, I've now been sitting in the waiting room for over an hour with no indication of when I'll actually be seen. Communication has also been frustrating. I called several days ago because I was experiencing a complication from my medication and was told a nurse would return my call. After three days without hearing from anyone, I had to call the office again myself. I completely understand that emergencies happen and that delays are sometimes unavoidable. However, when long waits and communication issues become the norm, it makes receiving care incredibly difficult. A great doctor can only do so much if patients can't be seen in a timely manner or can't get the support they need between appointments. Unfortunately, the overall experience has made it hard to justify continuing my care here.
