Endocrinology doctor requested a thyroid test. I did the test on Monday, and called. I was told that definitely somebody shall call me by Friday to discuss the result with me and email them to me. No body called, I called on Friday of what …
Our experience with PSV has been amazing. The doctors and nurses in Rheumatology, Gastroenterology, and Endocrinology have been thoughtful, responsive, and are responsible for my son finally being in good health. Pediatric specialists are …
if I can give the lowest rating, even 0. first the call center who book the appointment, they don’t give you the right information or what you need prior to the appointment. I tried several times to get in touch scheduling an appointment …
The bureaucracy is overwhelming at Pediatric Specialists of Virginia and their affiliated Children’s National Hospital. I felt like I was in a sci-fi novel. It was impossible to get through to any human when we had a question. We had to …
The management and nursing staff is horrible. We waited for over an hour and half to see the doctor and not once did anyone apologize or offer an explanation. Even worse… this appointment was scheduled by our pediatrician who faxed …
Dr. Natalie Silks is not care about the patient.we got the appointment after we went at the appointment time she said I can’t see her( our daughter)because my daughter was in flow in about five days or one week ago and she was fine but the …
After scheduling an appointment a weeks earlier, ours was cancelled ten minutes beforehand (after driving an hour to get there which also meant driving an hour to get home) with no explanation given other than the doctor wasn’t coming in …
My daughter has been a patient here for 7 years since she was born. All her doctors have been excellent and still are. Why i’m giving 3 stars is because since they changed the calling system for appointments etc. it’s been very difficult …
Doctors are fine but the dietitian we were referred to, Hannah N, simply refused to acknowledge anecdotal data. We were given advice that went against our experience and have already been proven to make our baby’s condition worse. We …
Doctors are nice but 1hr wait in the waiting room with a 1 year old was very tough. I wish that they had another system that didn’t require me to try to entertain my son in a waiting room for an hour.
Never even gotten to the virtual appointment. The office staff is extremely rude. I’ve had to call many times for them to email the link and the paper work that needed to be filled. I got the email for the first appointment but it had to be …
Awful, I wish I had trusted the reviews before going there- went there because my pediatrician refereed us to their orthopedic doctors- we saw Dr. Ludwig who seemed nice, but she really couldn’t see the issue just said might be some …
My son has now been seen twice here, once for ear tube surgery and this time for Urology. I know that everybody has a different experience, but for me everyone from the check in staff, to the nurses, to the doctors and residents have been …
Agree with others that their service is horrible. My son is a patient of a doctor there since he was born (now he is 18). The doctor who has been seeing him moved and now since last 1-2 years there is another doctor who is seeing him. The …
I can imagine the doctors there are fine. However, this is something that I can only imagine after painfully dealing with the appointment scheduling person who refused to schedule an appointment stating she needed a referral. When I …
Took my son here before with no issues but this appointment aas different. I couldn’t come to the appointment but as stated on paperwork. My mom had permission to bring him. Guess they don’t actually look at it. After driving 2.5 hrs to the …
You have to wait a VERY long time to get appointments but when you have an appointment the wait in the waiting room is much better than other places. Some doctors are fantastic (Dr Leon Moores and Dr Brian Reilly are both amazing) and other doctors are awful (Dr Amisha Patel – nonresponsive, doesn’t accurately remember the patient).
I will give 2 stars because I have been happy with the Providers my children have seen, but the process to get an appointment is atrocious and deserves zero stars. …
After reading several reviews, I felt it was important to leave a review specific to my experiences, considering there are several departments here. We ourselves have had very different experiences with two different doctors. …
Absolutely the worst service I ever experienced in my life! This place is horrendous! I had a telemedicine appointment with Dr Jespersen in October 2020 to see if my one month old daughter qualified for a skin tag surgery. I was told she …
Made an appointment with the urology dep. for my 2yr old to get a procedure done. Scheduling the procedure was a bit frustrating at first. Originally it would have been about 5 months out but they offered to call me if they had any openings …
So far, our experience with the neurologist we’ve seen here was excellent. She was really thorough and thoughtful. The reason for the 2 stars is because the front desk and admin staff is extremely unresponsive and almost impossible to get …
Not impressed. Haven’t actually made it to see a Dr yet since we waited months for an appointment that never happened. Apparently they had a typo in my email, so I never got the zoom link for our virtual consult. They did have my phone …
Extremely disappointed. I set up a follow up neurologist appointment for my kid 30-40 days ago with a specific doctor.. only to be told 2 days before the appointment that it was with a different provide ( Nurse practioner ). They …
Zero compassion or care for my sick child with nose and throat issues. Indifferent nurses. We were refused to be seen by an MD. Never will come back again. Shame.
We were referred here by our previous doctor after moving to the area while my son had a broken arm that still needed care. It has been an easy and smooth transition and we have had nothing but great experiences. Wait times have always been short, even on busy days! All the staff have been extremely kind and and helpful!
My family had a mixed experience with PSV service. This makes it difficult to rate PSV. We had a great experience with Orthopedic. When it comes to surgery, Dr. Hattwick is the beast!!! The experience with the endocrinology department in …
Great care! Absolutely love the care my daughter gets. The only complaint is that when trying to make an specialty appointment there is not a direct number to ALL. i.e. PM&R..I have to call the direct number then get transferred to PM&R and …
The doctors and nurses were lovely and I have no complaints there. However, when I made the appointment the staff should have notified me of the lengthy process I should expect for my one year old’s appointment. After being seen 20 minutes …
The Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine team at the Pediatric Specialists of Virginia location in Merrifield is excellent. Our 19 month old son had a splint put in place by urgent care staff and as part of our routine follow-up as parents we …
First of all, the Doctors and nurses there are GREAT.
The telephone/call back system is really bad. It is impossible to get a live person to talk to. Every time I call them, they are busy so I get put on a “call …
Three weeks for a new appointment. Called the night before after I completed all the paperwork, that they called and reminder me to do, they told me she was almost 18 and I needed to see an adult allergist. Really didn’t I give you her birthday when I set up the appointment. Then only referred me to a corporate number allergist.
They are horrid in trying to get anyone to speak with you or contact you. I’ve had to leave several vms and messages just to finally hear back from someone. When I wanted to put my daughter with a neurologist instead of a Nurse Practitioner …
Saw both a doctor and medical student for my daughter, they were excellent. HOWEVER, I have been unable to actually receive the prescription my daughter needs despite days of calling. No return calls, no one is taking the action that is …
Waited over a month for my appointment. Got there 10 mins late, I live pretty far and VA traffic is unpredictable, planned trip via a driving app to make sure we would get there on time. Got there and waited 15 minutes to be called up only …
The doctor was good, though we had to wait close to half an hour. Be careful of the parking here!! Most just park in the 3020 parking in a hurry to get to the appointment, but three cars-including mine, were towed in the span of 20-30 …
They put castes on both my child’s legs and then did NOT have the correct size boot to wear with the castes. VERY unprofessional, as we’d had the appointment for weeks.
Great staff. They squeezed us in at the last minute to follow up after a visit to urgent care and get a cast put on. We initially went to the wrong window and ended up being late, but we were still seen without waiting very long. Plenty of parking in the parking garage too. There are signs not to park on the street.
My son is special needs. He sees a multitude of specialists. What I love about PSV is they are connected to INOVA and Childrens National. Wherever office I go, his care is connected and they can see it within one system. It makes it so much …
I’m writing this at 2:40pm. My ortho appointment for my 3 year old was at 1:30, and we arrived here at 1:15 15 minutes early as instructed. F this place…
The doctors are great but this system needs to change. It’s ridiculous that my child who is sick can’t be seen by any pulmonologist until two weeks out. They’re the specialist for a reason patients should have easier access to appointments.
I called this practice 3 times to schedule an appointment for my son as a new patient. I was put on hold and got hang up twice, the third time I got a voice recording to leave a message. I do not think it should be this difficult to schedule an appointment. I guess I will take my business somewhere else.
We did all of our due diligence to get the proper referrals for Pediatric Specialists of Virginia and scheduled an appointment with the. We are now receiving bills from Children’s National (which is an out of network provider). We did not …
This place is a nightmare! Trying to schedule an appointment is nearly impossible and they do not give the option to schedule a follow up when you leave current appointment. You have to call numerous times! If you try to schedule an …
Came 30 minutes early for my sons urology appointment for early paperwork or anything needed (an appointment that is very hard to get and that you have to wait months and months to get an appointment for) and the appointment time was 11:15… …
We have had good experiences with our doctors at PSV, but the red tape of the overall practice is a nightmare. The phone tree is eternal to get through, it disconnects constantly, it is difficult to get appointments. The doctors’ schedules …
Great experience from reception to discharge. Every person was friendly and caring. They saw us within 5 minutes of our scheduled appointment time. Doctor was informative with everything going on. Facility was immaculate and warmly decorated. I definitely recommend this place.
The doctor is great but I’m seriously concerned about their lab and how they keep track of blood samples. I’ve waited more than an hour to get my child’s blood test done and instead of getting the result from them, got a call saying the …
