I found Kennedy Health and Wellness Center through the Groupon app for laser lipo and I was…read moreecstatic to try something out in conjunction with my workouts to help target fat in stubborn areas. I was welcomed by the kind staff members and even got some great advice from the trainer. After I was finished with my appointments through Groupon; I wanted to utilize the chiropractic services that they offer. I have many friends and clients that tell me about the benefits of it and was excited to try it out myself. The nurse did XRays and brain scans to see what they would be working with and after that, I made the appointment for an adjustment. After once again, going over the dynamic of my bones/ body I was presented with a package/program that was around 2.5k. Although being a technician myself and knowing the benefits of healing treatments and taking care of your body I was hesitant to make such an investment - especially with never getting a service like this done before. I wanted to get an adjustment and see how I would feel and then come back around to the idea of the package, which even their nurse said was fine. She stepped out and let me know that the Doctor would be in to talk to me about everything a little more in detail. To my shock, I could hear the entire conversation outside of the door and could hear his frustration that I did not purchase this package. I was then greeted by, what felt like an extremely discontented businessman instead of a Chiropractic professional. Dr. Pat was belittling, aggressive, and had a horrible bedside manner. Instead of being informational or helpful, he made me feel stupid for being there. I will never be going back to this facility and I will not be recommending any of my connections to come here. It is a shame that Dr. Pat's aggressive personality reflects so poorly on their establishment.

The nationally advertised company I was using couldn't meet basic requests for months and I knew would never meet the challenge when I was faced with what turned into day and overnight care. Companion Home Care is a local company and Michelle has gone above and beyond for my dad and family over and over again. Every bump in the road I faced was met with Michelle's help. I am so thankful to her for giving me the gift of keeping my dad with me the last six months of his life. I learned so much from the providers that made things I was struggling with easier. He had the same people daily for months. Caring for a parent with dementia and health needs was more challenging than I could have imagined. My 93 year old dad was 6'5" tall, had mobility problems, advanced dementia, was legally blind, and had many health issues. Because of Michelle's dedication, my dad was able to stay with us and received wonderful care before and during hospice. My dad loved the people caring for him. They were sweet, kind, thoughtful, and did their job well. I never worried about his care. He was happy and the providers were well trained and knew how to take care of him. Everyone arrived as scheduled without exception and I was able to meet the work challenges I was facing during COVID. They made such a stressful year so much better. Some how, Michelle met the challenges I faced each and every time, even with the problems COVID added. They were all there for my dad until the very end. I will be forever grateful to them all.

I was going to go to an Urgent Care but thought if I could get an appointment that same day or the next I should probably go see my PCP. I called the office as soon as they opened to see if I could get in and was told there had been a cancellation and I could be there in the next 2 hours. That was a big relief. When I got there I didn't have to wait too long to be called back. After he came in and I explained what was going on he was very dismissive and acted like I was wasting his time for being there. He was in the room less than 10 minutes total and basically told me to go home and take a vitamin and eat better. He looked at some lab results I had taken just 2 days prior because I had an annual checkup already scheduled for the next week. He said he didn't see anything wrong in my bloodwork either. Later that day the issue I had seen him for started to spread to other areas of my body and I ended up in the ER because of it. Also after reviewing all of my bloodwork results from the ones taken just 2 days prior there were some things that were showing that there really was a bigger problem going on. I have decided that I will not be using him as my PCP in the future. He has a lot of 5 star reviews and only 5 star reviews. But after reading through them even the other patients who pretty much reported the same behavior from him it showed 5 stars. There is definitely something off about that. There is no way a patient treated like we were wasting his time coming to him with our petty problems would leave a 5 star reviews. That just made me not trust him even more. No doctor only has 5 star reviews So, I will have to try and find a new doctor who will actually care about their patients and be respectful to them.

Next he'll lay you on a chiropractor table and actually adjust you. He doesn't blame your weight or lifestyle and will help you and give you tips on how to improve your life. His massage therapists are fantastic. It's not a relaxing massage like you would get in other places, which I'm not saying are bad, but they will help break up spasms and tension.

I am writing this review in April of 2026…read more If I were looking for a facility for inpatient or outpatient rehab for myself or a relative, based on some of the reviews here, I would definitely not choose Friendship South. However, I am glad I did not read these reviews when I had to make such a decision for myself about two years ago. For one thing, all of the few reviews here were written more than five years ago. While I have no reason to doubt that the writers are giving their best honest accounts of their experiences with Friendship South, a lot can change over such a time span. (Note: Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley, which can lead to some confusion; see my note at the end of this review concerning a possible case of such confusion. As the map shows, this forum concerns specifically Friendship South health and rehab on Starkey Road.) I have been an inpatient at Friendship South twice (most recently during January and February of this year) and an outpatient for three stints -- each lasting several months -- over the past two years. I am currently undergoing outpatient therapy for recovery from a back operation. Over the past twenty years, several of my friends and relatives -- including my mother -- have had to spend time in rehab facilities in the Roanoke Valley, so I've seen the good, the not so good and the indifferent (I had to move my mother once). My one exposure to Friendship South was about four years ago when I visited a friend in his 90s who was an inpatient recovering from some procedure. He was in such good humor and spoke so positively about the facility and how he was being cared for that when --- a couple of years later --- I had to decide where I wanted to be sent to recover from a torn ligament in my hip, I didn't hesitate to choose Friendship South. Now, everyone's experience is unique, and mine is as an almost-eighty-year-old man in pretty good health. I have not needed long-term care for a chronic condition or for physical and/or mental decline. I also know that every medical facility is short-staffed, mainly because there is just a shortage of medical professionals at every level. I can say that, almost without exception, every contact or interaction I've had with Friendship South staff -- medical, financial, management, whatever -- has been positive. I've always been treated with courtesy and respect. Has everything I've asked for or every situation I think needs to be addressed been accomplished as quickly as I'd like? Of course not. But I know there are patients whose needs are greater and more urgent than mine. Some need almost around-the-clock attention. My experience with outpatient therapy has been overwhelmingly positive. Turnover is low. I'm still being helped by the same team of therapists who helped me two years ago. They like where they work. They are experienced and competent with a contagious positive attitude. I have come to consider them friends. And most important, what they do and have me do works! Concerning another review: not a criticism, but a clarification. Michelle P. says, "They cannot even light the fireplaces during Christmas for the permanent residents to enjoy." My understanding from conversations with staff at Friendship South is that it has no actual permanent residents; it is a skilled nursing facility where people go for temporary rehab and therapy. Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley; some are residential nursing homes. Perhaps your experience was with one of the other facilities. Yelp has the heading of this page as just "Friendship," which could contribute to some confusion. To assure myself that I was reviewing Friendship South specifically, I consulted the map on the page.
