My wife Jessie Joseph recently underwent robotic laparoscopic surgery with Dr. Sachse to remove a…read morevery large 22 cm cyst containing heavy fluid. Initially we were so much confused and worried when we look at lab results and other consultations. But Everything was cleared by Dr. Sachse once we meet him. From our initial consultation through the post-operative care, we were consistently impressed by Dr. Sachse's expertise and professionalism. He is clearly a highly knowledgeable surgeon who took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and ensure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Sachse's skill and care. If you are in need of surgical intervention, my wife and I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend consulting with Dr. Sachse. His talent is a true gift, if you are facing surgery and looking for a highly competent and caring surgeon, look no further than Dr. Sachse. What truly stood out was not only his surgical talent but also his friendly and reassuring demeanor. You will be in excellent hands.

Thank goodness for these talented people. My husband had a lipoma removed unsuccessfully over 8…read moreyears ago and it grew again. The surgeon did a remarkable job in 30 minutes! The entire staff was wonderful including the front desk, nurses and the Doctor, who came out to apologize for a delay. I'd use them in a minute.

I've never had surgery before and was extremely nervous, I had a big hernia for over 15 years and…read morefear of surgery kept me from get it fixed and from few other Doctors opinions Or how they gonna operate or lack of care and answering my questions I never felt comfortable to take the next step!!!. But this time I met Dr Michael G Svestka and I'm lucky I did, Everyone in the office made me feel comfortable and welcome. The doctor Michael G Svestka & p.a. Took time not only to explain what would happen but to listen to what I had to say specially Dr. Svestka a general surgeon took his time and very patiently listened to everything I had to say and ask and it gave me a comfort and trust which made my surgery appointment as easy as a lunch appointment absolutely I recommend Dr. Michael G Svestka.hope I don't have to have surgery again, but if I do I hope to see Dr. Michael G Svestka and his team at Virginia surgery associates again. Thanks!! Thanks again Dr. Svestka for have my hernia fixed and everything you've done Highly recommend

Check-in at the office the front desk ladies were very inviting and friendly and was very smooth…read moreas we filled out the paperwork online. Sitting in the lobby was very bland and boring to say the least as there were not magazines or even a tv in the waiting area. Once taken back the medical assistant was friendly and helpful before being seen by the doctor. Once we were seen the doctor introduced himself to us and got the breakdown of the history and complaints and offered his suggestions for referrals after just doing a simple exam (just pressed on my fiancés stomach while he was still sitting in the chair). While the doctor already knowing we were there for a work related accident follow-up he then proceeded to ask if he had ever considered weight loss surgery. Like what? How is that related to what we are there being seen for? Furthermore, in the medical history it was mentioned that my fiancé had a traumatic accident which is is still dealing with and you want to suggest an elective surgery? Completely changed his mood at the end of the visit. It is to note that while the insurance scheduled this appointment 2 weeks in advanced they called a few days before that they hadn't received necessary paperwork to see him. Why wasn't this completed when the insurance reached out to you to schedule the appointment? We also were bounced around to different doctors prior to coming in as doctors kept refusing to see him. First one dropped the day before (Seriously?) and we were called to see another doctor, then when our lawyer called to check on the change we were referred to yet another doctor, until finally we got another one who is the one we dealt with during this visit. Overall, a complete mess and I am glad we do not have to return to this INOVA office.

Dr. Gottlieb is one of the best doctors I have ever had, and I have had quite a few in my years. At…read moremy first consultation for breast reduction, she was extremely thorough examining me as well as explaining the process and some things that can or will happen after the procedure. She doesn't sugarcoat it and even says that some people will not have it done due to some of the reasons she provided. I feel doing it that way makes me really listen because she is emphasizing everything and she wants to make sure you understand everything. She is extremely smart with an unbelievable education and seems to me that she really loves her job, especially breast reductions! When you decide to do it and your insurance is approved, the staff sets the surgery date. I only had to wait 2 weeks and had many choices as they told me that even if it wasn't her day to go into the hospital for surgeries, and if that she wasn't fully booked for appointments, she would try to make an accommodation for you. Before the surgery, you come in for an 1 1/2 or 2 hrs to go over the pre-op, op, and post-op procedures and expectations with both her and one of the staff. She also reviews with you what YOU want done. Some surgeons only do what they want to do and really don't listen. Not her!! My husband came with me to that and learned a lot and they all took the time to explain it thoroughly and answered all of our questions patiently! I feel that she doesn't rush the appointment and is extremely nice! Also, even though she spends quality time with her patients, it seems that you don't wait very long at all either in the waiting room or the examining room. I really hate when you are put in the examining room only to sit 20 mins or so without knowing when the "doctor will be in shortly...." per the nurse at other doctors' offices. Maybe they don't schedule too many people to allow her the time? I just know it works as I have been there 4 times for this process so far with very little waiting. The surgery has been a complete success!!!!! I am only 2 weeks post-op and my stitched areas are all healed. She even said I could go into the water now which was extremely surprising as I am supposed to go to Cancun 6 weeks post-op and was concerned I would heal in time for that. I have reviewed forums on breast reductions and the horror stories and pictures are opposite of what I have had so far. My scars look like some of the people after several months since their procedure. Oh, did I forget to mention my breasts look awesome? I am 50 years old and they are not only smaller, but way perkier, like I was in my 20s again. She is conscience to not only listening to what your goals are, but also stresses that she will also try to make it proportionate to your body. I highly recommend Dr. Gottlieb for any plastic surgery needs based on my experience, as well as other reviews I have seen. It is so gratifying to have such a caring, well-educated and highly skilled doctor! Very rare, indeed.

A wonderful provider! Took me in last minute to do my lip filler. She is kind, compassionate, takes…read moreher time, and her technique is unmatched. Will definitely be coming back to get my lip filler done with Dr. Gottlieb next year and highly recommend her to all of my friends.
