I'm not interested in all the "bells and whistles" and fancy equipment, I want consistent and accurate care, and this place provides that.

Also he sent me a bill that my insurance already paid to him, but it seems like doc wants more money. As a doctor he is ok, but all he wants is your money.

Doctor rarely cleaned or changed products in front of me. Wait time was sometimes 30-40 minutes regardless of appointment time. Charges after charges. After every visit no matter what was done, I was charged $25. My last visit was in December after a few flags went off. Went in for a blood test and was sent a bill in March for $57 after insurance. No problem! Suddenly, when calling to settle my payments I was told I actually owed an additional $30 for a Covid test that was needed to be seen. This money was not present on the statement I was sent, despite being dated "as of February" with a December visit. Why wouldn't that $30 already been on there? Staff was nice enough but these shady practices are unacceptable for an office attending to the vulnerable. I was constantly pushed to get appointment after appointment despite it not being necessary.

They block you on inovamychart so you cannot send them any more messages. They call you back and don't leave you the extension so its impossible to get in touch with them because you get routed to general number. So, if you are like anyone else who does not have time to hunt down this practice if you have an issue, avoid at all costs.

1 star -- do not go here…read more This office is a masterclass in incompetence and greed. Appointments are chronically late, repeatedly confirmed, and then canceled anyway. During one visit, a nurse confused me with another patient and attempted to give me a shot I did not need. The only reason it didn't happen is because I stopped her and told her to verify. That is a terrifying level of negligence in a medical office. Patients are told they may only discuss two "problems" per visit -- their word -- and are charged if they dare mention anything else. This practice nickel-and-dimes patients relentlessly: * $25 for work paperwork * $30 for prescription refills * $45 to transfer records * $150 for bringing up a third issue I was double-charged for a visit and then blamed for their billing mistake. You're forced to complete 20+ pages of paperwork ahead of time, only to be made to redo all of it once you arrive. The front desk staff are rude, dismissive, and wildly incompetent. Dr. Waddell does not appear to care about patients at all -- only revenue. Visits are rushed, impersonal, and transactional. In a telemedicine appointment, she was two hours late and didn't even offer a simple apology. I switched providers and immediately saw the difference: respect, accountability, and actual care. This office provides none of that. I would actively warn anyone considering Dr. Waddell to stay far away.

Today, my 90 year old father received leg braces in the mail with a letter noting they are free as…read more prescribed by his "physician" Daphne Jenkins. Obviously Ms Jenkins is not a physician but most importantly she's never evaluated or treated my father. She's never spoken with him and has no relationship with him whatsoever; he lives 160 miles from her practice. Medicare will be billed if these braces aren't returned in 3 days. Apparently someone hopes people are ignorant and will think no copay for the patient is synonymous with free. My father has no need for leg braces; in fact they're medically contraindicated and could be harmful to him. Furthermore, Ms. Jenkins had no authorization or consent to access and review his medical record. If she did, she violated HIPPA. If she went only by CPT codes and billing summaries, her clinical acumen is as weak and questionable as her ethics. After speaking with the knee brace product rep, I researched and found Ms Jenkins is being paid by a marketing company to prescribe durable medical equipment for Medicare patients she's never evaluated, treated or even spoken to-bastardizing and contorting telemedicine practices and ethical guidelines. My father will now need to drive to the PO to return these absurd devices. Unlike Ms. Jenkins, he has a problem with generating unnecessary Medicare expenses. Preying on seniors for your own financial gain is egregious even if you're a layperson. A licensed provider doing so is frankly mind boggling. Competent and ethical practitioners with thriving practices don't engage in such activities. Ms Jenkins will be reported to the VIrginia Board of Medicine. She'll also be reported to Medicare who will hopefully revoke her provider ID and status. I wouldn't recommend this woman for direct clinical patient care or anything that involves funding or reimbursement.

I saw Dr. Kim, very disappointed, a waste of time and money. He did not know anything about acid reducing medications in regards to the class acceptable for pregnant women, nor was he well versed on the usage of them as long term medications. First, he told me that all of the medicines for that are all in the same category and I couldnt take any of them. So after I informed him that prilosec is category c and protonix is class b, he stopped to look up the info on his cell phone. Uhhh, I already did that doc! That's why I came to see YOU, the medical specialist, for expertise and a script. He didn't have any insight or useful to say regarding the other issue I inquired about either, basically referring me to a Dermatologist and Gastroenterologist.
